2006 R1 with stuff on it
jesus christ people, the conveyor/treadmill IN NO WAY prevents the aircraft from moving forward...it is NO DIFFERANT than a runway.Originally Posted by SNapper
With that said, how does the airplane get on the conveyor and is it already moving or what? With no problems at all the plane could taxi on to a moving conveyor and in no way would it effect the motion of the airplane...just like if you were on a bicyle and road up to a running treadmill, did a wheelie and put the front wheel on the conveyor belt....would it throw the bicycle backwards? NO Could you continue to ride forward (up to the rear wheel, but not touching the rear wheel)? YES.
In order to ride up on the tread mill you would have to match the rear wheel speed to the treadmills speed, why? because the bicycles rear wheel powers the bicycle...The wheels on a plane DO NOT propel the aircraft.
LOL. I'm in a hurry at work and neglected to mention that in my post. The plane will be taking off under the same conditions as those from a stationary runway since all variables will remain the same, and the aircraft does not rely on power to the wheels to take off. The wheels are free spinning and will not slow the planes forward momentum caused by thrust from the jet engines.
