HAY /sci/, logic problem!

There is a giant, 10 mile long stetch of runway with a 747 on the middle of it. The runway, however, is specially designed to move, much in the same way that a treadmill will move, in the opposite direction of the plane. Secondly, the treadmill is attached to a computer which will match the acceleration of the plane exactly and constantly, in the opposite direction.

What is the result of this experiment? Does the plane ever take off?

The plane takes off. It's obviously simple. The thrust from the engines works on the air around the plane, not on the runway.

Holy hell you have to be retarded not to realize that.
