    Can Plane Take Off

    Not so much a picture post, but you guys should have some fun. This has been all over the web, and has caused a lot of controversy.. and even a few lay offs.. Heres the scenario... An airplane is on a conveyor. The conveyor is set to match the speed of the airplane in the backwords...

    Can Plane Take Off

    wow, december 4th 2005.. and still going? who knew!? the wheels on the plane go round and round , round and round, round and round.. and they never effect the planes forward or backward direction .. yet somehow the pole shows that "most" people who voted thought they did ... even as the...

    Can Plane Take Off

    lol Eomer, I have tried that same approach to a lot of people... Some people are just to thick headed to understand how a wheel works. I"ll bet a caveman could figure it out.

    Can Plane Take Off

    Something funny about this question.. I have seen it posted a lot.. I first came across it on the Mythbusters fan site (not the cheesy discovery site, but its there too) I have seen a good handful of people step up and say "DUH!...ok, I see.. the plane takes off easy..." I have yet to see...

    Can Plane Take Off

    ROFL.. who knew 7 pages over night. Im astonished at the amount of people who actually believe a conveyor can hold back an airplane. Its an AIRplane, not a GROUNDplane... the ground has NO significant impact on a planes forward momentum.. wether the ground is moving or not. The ONLY...

    Can Plane Take Off

    Really doesnt matter what the belt is made of.. according to the laws of friction, cirlces are the only exception. Wheels have no friction, they are replaced by rotation. It comes down to the individuals inturpretation of the question.. the more complicated you make it, the further away you...

    Can Plane Take Off

    They claim theres no reason to air this because its not a "myth" .. the laws of physics can explian why the plane takes off. In order to qualify as a myth, there cant be enough evidence to back up the subject. I begged to differ and said "think ratings"

    Can Plane Take Off

    Galiem, There are a few little videos of this.. i"ll try to find a link if I can hunt it down. I been talking to a few of the guys from mythbusters and trying to get them to do this myth on air. Its a rather heated topic over there. In fact, it was so big they removed it all together from...

    Can Plane Take Off

    well sadly, I dont know the origin of the question since its so wide spread. However, most people tend to belive (as the poll is starting to reflect) that a conveyor can be built that is able to hold a plane in place. Being on wheels, a plane is technically "always" on a conveyor. The...

    Can Plane Take Off

    the plane is not a harrier, or V-take off .. just a normal plane, can range from small to large, or even have a propellor or jet engine. not giving answer till more polls are in.

    kate has a hoof

    Could have been worse.. I half expected someone to just photoshop a hoof onto one of her pics.. I would have done it earlier today but its just not worth the effort.

    kate has a hoof

    None of the "hoof" pics show both her face, and the hoof.. they are all mostly one or the other. The one pic that shows both is unclear. I need a clear undoctored pic containing both her face, and her hoof.
