I don’t think this argument, which requires you to disregard friction, the impracticality of a 747 treadmill, or any other number of real world conditions, was designed to get people thinking about lift, negative feedback loops, or the speed of the conveyor. It was designed to think about how the...

[quote]It clearly says the treadmill goes as fast as the wheels. So no matter how much throttle the pilot applies, the plane stays stationary.[/quote] I think we would all agree that a plane could fly at a constant speed 10ft above a treadmill moving in an opposite direction but equal speed. Th...

[quote]If you put a jet engine with wheels on a treadmill, and the engine has a max speed of, say, 800 mph, and the treadmill is moving at the exact same speed in the opposite direction, 800 mph, your stance is that the jet engine would move forward? [/quote] The engine would move forward even ...

You could start this experiment with the treadmill spinning backwards at 1000mph and the plane tethered in place. As long as the plane is generating forward thrust and the wheels are free to spin, the plane will go forward when the tether is released....

The engines push against air around the plane (or in proportion to the mass flow rate of exhaust out of the engine), not the ground. The free-spinning wheels make the conveyor irrelevant....
