    "wrong, if the pull of the conveyor is equal to the thrust of the engine thrust, they cancel each other out and you have 0 ground speed, and 0 airspeed needed for lift.
    all it is, is a huge waste of energy"

    thats the thing... the pull of the conveyer is way less than the thrust of the engines. They dont cancel out.
