no, I got good grades in physics, and I've flown a plane.
"The conveyor belt serves to nullify any thrust or effect on/from the plane, therefore, the plane is 'stationary'."
Can you explain just how the conveyer belt is supposed to be nullifying the effect of the thrust on the aircraft?
Things to note:
- the conveyer belt can only have an effect on the plane through its wheels
- the wheels are freewheeling
- the wheels are not used to power the plane forward
- the plane moves forward due to the jet thrust following Newtons Laws: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New…
