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

The plane flies. Airplanes aren't like cars, they don't use their wheels to accelerate them to takeoff speed, their engines do that. The friction between the ground and the airplane is negligible, since you have wheels, so the airplane WILL accelerate to a speed high enough for takeoff.

I've never seen 4chan fail so bad.
