It a plane is on a treadmill, and the plane is going as fast forwerd as the treadmill is going backwerds, will the plane be able to take off? There is a proven answer to this, but I don't want anybody to say it. I want you to think of wether it can or not and explane why/why not.

It won't work. The plane needs to catch air, which won't happen if it isn't moving.
Then it explodes.
I'll make you a sig. Pm me or visit this thread. MY ART

There is no takeoff procedure therefore it cannot initiate launching sequence
It's not that I'm so smart, it's just that I stay with problems longer.

it can't launch. if it goes up in the air the plane will get stuck in momentum because it doesn't have enough wind to carry it's weight.

This topic is debated far too often.
No, it will not work, due to the fact that it cannot catch any air on its wings if it isn't moving.
Good day to you, sir.

Yes it will, I saw it on a program, real footage. They explained it on the program, which was quite boring, so I didn't remember it
I'd link it but forsome reason, my computer isnt actually able to search "Mythbusters plane on a convayer belt" on all my browsers, it just fucks up.

It will not work for 2 reasons. 1 there is no air going under the wings and 2 the engine of a plane does not move the wheels.

YES IT WILL, mythbusters proved it, cars get motion from the ground reason they stay the same position because of that, planes have a propeller and its wheel dont help it move, only the propeller does
I do voice acting :D
