Yours (I'm guessing) is based on the accumulation of web-based discussion on this topic.

Ease up on the attitude old son.

You are wrong mate, and it's blindingly obvious why.

As Arabian says, this has been proven, there is a Mythbusters video on YouTube which I will link to later - your answer is incorrect.

How many conveyor belts did you take off from in your time as a pilot incidentally

Discuss.

Not correct. The correct answer has already been provided and discussed.

Maybe if you say it enough times the answer will change. Probably not though

Mythbusters on YouTube. THAT'S your argument? LOL.

And your experience as a pilot (which I fully believe by the way) is better? I'll take the video evidence of the plane taking off from a moving belt.

THE PLANE'S ENGINE IS NOT SENDING POWER TO THE WHEELS.

Ha God it's morons like you that got people banned from muscletalk - I knew this was a bad idea... the fact that you have a background in aerodynamics makes this plain embarassing - if the answer was that simple why would I even ask the question genius?
