Trick question

[CabezaBlanca]

Yep. For the conveyor to match the speed of the wheels they'd either have to stay off or the plane has to move. The wheels on a plane ain't movin unless the plane is movin. It's not a car. There by, the conveyor can match the speed of the planes wheels in the opposite direction right up until the plane flys away. Poor physics students

Exactly! The plane is doing 200 mph, the wheels are doing 400 mph, and the plane takes off.

Exactly but no mYter how fast the plane moves forward the wheel speed increases, the conveyor speed increases and the plane speed increases. Remember, unless the plane is moving forward, the wheels will not turn at all. So you're saying if thrust is applied to the engines the plane won't move forward and the wheels will never turn and wheels and conveyor remain at zero rpms?

I think he thinks da plane drives like a car which is what the question is designed to do

This thread started out as great entertainment. Now it just makes me sad for my kids and the country they’ll inherit…[emoji17]

After recalculating the equations and algorithms specific to this question, I have concluded that post #24 is definitely the answer.

The engine thrust pushes the body of the plane, not the wheels. The plane moves forward and takes off.

My airboat engine pushes the body of my boat. I can be in 30 mph current and haul butt right upstream.

Same concept as a hovercraft driving up river. The wheels are not in the problem at all. Thrust is opposed by the air behind the engines.

It's so simple

Third time trolling this thread!

What if the current suddenly switched directions and was now flowing in the same direction of travel as your boat? If you kept the same amount of thrust applied, would the speed of your boat change?

Prop makes this so simple.

Think of a propeller in the air like a prop in the water.

I don’t care if the sea floor is moving backwards, the prop still pushes or pulls the plane through the water or the air.

Successful take off.

Captain Joe agrees with me. See post #24 and watch the video on post #125.

'nuff said.

Hands down.
