BBS: TELESC.NET.BR Assunto: Re: Conveyer belt question De: Rug Rat Data: Thu, 26 Feb 2026 19:49:49 +0000 ----------------------------------------------------------- But, there is no way, unless you push the question so far into hyperbole that the question invalidates itself as being outside the relm of possibility. You could say, well we will remove the landing gear, so the aircraft is in direct contact with the belt and can not overcome friction. If you are allowed to do that, then I can put larger engines on it so it will overcome friction. The fact of the matter is, it is impossible for the aircraft to NOT move forward, as the propeller or jet pushing air backwards will propell it foward. The weels WILL spin at x2 of the the belt, and the plane moves forward. If you speed up the belt, the just spin that much faster, but the plane will still move forward. Again, you can what if this to the point of hyperbole, but it becomes so far fetched that you are just moving numbers to prove to me an elephant can hang off a cliff with its tail tied to a dasiy. When common sense will tell you that is impossible. The plane will fly.
