Airplanes and Conveyor Belts - Mythbusters

Question: Can a conventional powered airplane take off from a conveyor belt which is moving at the same speed but in an opposite direction? Absolutely. The propulsion of the aircraft is provided by the prop and not the wheels. If it were the other way around then the ship will remain stationary in relation to the ground. -- Message posted via http://www.aviationkb.com
