... which is something completely new, adding even more confusion...
Then you get a ticking off from the air stewardess. As the plane takes off.
Glue a pig to a skateboard, position ensemble on a treadmill, place a (gloved) hand under its tail and push. Whatever speed you care to set the treadmill, you can still push the pig forward relative to the stationary treadmill frame, at least until you burn out the wheel bearings or the pig bites you for anal infringment.
Substitute pig for 747, hand for engines and add wings and off it flies.
I know the answer and I still want to do this.
Great post, very similar to my 'blowing on a swiss ball that's on a treadmill' example, albeit far more amusing. They still won't get it though![]()
Don't worry, Claudia, it's something some English people on t2w do whilst not trading.wot - stick ya hand up a pig ??

Skill/Gecko/Other Flat Earthers - Let’s assume your 747 DOES take off under the conditions Skill specifies in post #1.
Do you agree the plane must be travelling at its take off speed for it to actually take off?
Can we agree that in order for the plane to reach take off speed it must have travelled some distance (X) from its starting point at the beginning of the conveyor belt to its take off point. OK with that?
