OK, I think I see where I made my mistake earlier. I was placing the movement of the plane in reference to the conveyor. The plane doesn"t get its forward thrust due to friction with the conveyor however. Instead, the movement should be in reference to the *air*. The propellor will pull...

So you go to GaTech and you"re not interested in abstract questions involving physics? Please tell me you"re studing Industrial Engineering or something.

The plane would not take off. The thrust generated by the engine would cause the plane move forward. But against what reference point? Normally this reference point is a stationary runway, but not in this case. In this case, let"s assume the plane is generating enough thrust to normally...
