[quote][i]Originally posted by Paul_J[/i] [quote][i]Originally posted by Cybermonkey[/i] why would the plane move??? it sitting on a moving solid surface which is matching its speed. if the "conveyor" trick works, why dont they use it to launch off aircraft carriers and the such?? [/quote] because you clearly have got the wrong end of the stick. It doesn't say the conveyer will be applying the exact opposite force of the planes thrust - it says it'll go backwards as fast as the plane moves. so when plane is stationary, the belt is stationary. Engines at full thrust will move it forward as steve's example explains. As it moves forward the belt will go backwards, however this will not hold or push the plane backwards but spin the wheels underneathe the plane. the plane will continue accelerating along until it reaches a speed that there is enough lift under the wings and takes off. This would slow the acceleration of the plane down so would require a much longer take off distance than a normal runway - this is why no one would use these on air craft carries lol :lol: [/quote]
