[QUOTE="Liquidsnake, post: 15649333, member: 123099"] But the argument is IF it can it take off, and given the physics of how planes fly, yes it can take off. Because planes use air thrust to move. So in the context of this riddle/argument you have to assume the plane needs to use its engine to move forward to prove(or disprove) the results of the argument...thus the plane accelerates and overcomes the "conveyor" that's moving the opposite direction because the wheels of a plane don't have any effect on forward movement under normal conditions(functioning wheels/bearings...etc). They just spin freely forward and backward. The plane takes off as normal albeit the wheels spinning a little faster since the ground is moving. [/QUOTE]
