@sydneybird11@Markwright221@drtydds @ilove_aviation Point being made by the OP is that the conveyer belt is going as fast as the engines are pushing the plane. The plane is standing in one spot and will never take off, because no wind is going over the wings. My “joke” was that there is a fan off screen that will create lift.
@drtydds @ilove_aviation It’s not the speed of the conveyor belt, but the speed of the fan that’s in front of it, pushing air over the wings that’ll cause it to fly
@15thStreetDM @ilove_aviation Flying a 900,000 pound 747 at a relatively slow airspeed requires a lot of control input, especially in a cross wind. However, at that same plane is at cruising speed, there’s hardly any movement in the controls…much more stable.
