![]() ![]() | if a plane is on a massive treadmill..... Imagine a plane is sitting on a massive conveyor belt, as wide and as long as a runway. The conveyer belt is designed to exactly match the speed of the wheels, moving in the opposite direction. Can the plane take off? have a think about it, dont google it, doesnt make it as fun! |
