iflylow74 is an unknown quantity
Smile Question

I posted a question on another forum and am having a hard time explaining the answer in laymens terms. Could you help?

Here it is:

A jet airliner is setting on a conveyor the length of a runway as it is trying to take off. The conveyor exactly matches the aircrafts movement BUT is going in the opposite direction of the aircraft. Will the aircraft be able to get airborne?

Thanks in advance.
