    Well, after all debate Mythbusters is going to air an episode some time in Dec.
    If you are not familiar with the "Plane on a Treadmill" debate, read this thread.
    Should be a good episode and lay this ridiculous debate to rest... and as I already know, the plane will take off

    Woe, never heard anything about this!
    It will take off. That is my final pick. I flip flopped on that one.

    If the plane isn't moving, how can it possibly take off?
    Come on, guys. Use your heads.

    Tom You're an idiot.
    The plate certainly will take off. The fact the conveyor moves the opposite direction under the wheels has no effect on airspeed of the plane. You might lose a wheel bearing or tire from overspin, but that would be about it.

    The forward momentum is generated at the prop, not on the gound.........
    That's it! I am not getting sucked back into this......

    I have a newsflash for you people. A plane with zero airspeed cannot fly. Period.
