It maybe an invalid statement, but you cannot just ignor it.
That little gem from vsynth, is the perfect example.
The wheels are spinning at 440 mph, and the conveyor is doing what
The post says they most be the same, so now will it take off.
Its a trick question, and you lot can't see further than the gear stick.
No, it isn't a trick question DOI it's a question which has been posed for decades and the answer known for decades.
Stick to walking and leave those of us who can fly ... Do so

The best explanation (other than mine of course ) is Vsynths which is pretty much spot on.

how do you know? You never take off!And I know how to fly as well

Thats true I have to keep aborting because the wheel are going faster than the conveyor.

Not a chance bud, there isn't a qualified pilot alive that would fall for this old chestnut ... You're a bluffer.

Go back and answer my second last post if you think that.
Somewhere about 500 posts ago I said about the video I would have been surprised if it hadn't took off, indeed I would expect to take off from the conveyor, but not with the condition added to the post, That and that alone makes it impossible

If the question has an invalid statement which makes it impossible, you cannot come up with an answer which solves the question.
All fair enough if the speed of the conveyor is meant to be matching the speed of the plane. Except in the OP behind this discussion it is meant to be matching the wheel speed of the plane...
Since you ask, I am surprised at what you have written. You seem to be saying that the thrust applied to the airframe needs to exceed the weight of the aircraft (and the aerodynamic drag) in order to move it forward.
You are right blondini, the friction in the wheel bearings will decide how much force is required to move the aircraft forward.

Yes, now I've read what I posted again I agree that it doesn't read as I intended
EUREKA ... I knew someone would get there in the end ... Now explain it to DIA
Doitall: If you are indeed a qualified pilot and I've done you a disservice then perhaps you'd care to post a copy of your license frontpage ... Suitably anonymised of course.

FYI, my original sentence was correctly punctuated, but a moderator saw fit to edit it.
