A plane is standing on a runway that can move (like a giant conveyor
belt). This conveyor has a control system that tracks the plane's
speed and tunes the speed of the conveyor to be exactly the same (but
in the opposite direction).

Will the plane be able to take off?

NEED EXPLANATION. IF YOU HAVE NO IDEA THEN YOU CAN'T EXPLAIN IT EVEN IF YOU FIND AN ANSWER. HELP ME 4CHAN

Bet 1 and the OP of the thread last week are in the same class and can't come up with an answer to the retard question.

Airplane wings generate lift through the difference in the air pressure created by the wing's shape and the movement of air around the wing.

Since the treadmill is keeping pace with the wheel's movements, the wings receive no incoming air. No moving air = no lift, no lift = no flight.

If you're taking a class and got this question, the teacher obviously covered it. Pay some fucking attention in class and stop daydreaming about the porn you got off of 4chan.

I suppose I'd ask that you not copy/paste my explination and turn it in for yourself, but somehow I don't think you'd listen anyway.
