The Return of the most infamous HB thread of all time... :D

It will take a fraction of the TOTAL thrust to stop the plane from moving backward and start moving forward... Do I have one mile? How long is your "really long conveyor belt"???

At 800 MPH backward I don't have very long before I'm in the abyss...

It never stated the length of it.

It never stated the length of it.

Lets say that the conveyor is an infinite length... Is it a hard surface or squishy like grass/dirt AND are the wheels on the aero-plane rigid or soft/pneumatic???

DO you dispute that the thrust will in short order overcome the rolling resistance (once you start spinning up the jet) and will cause enough thrust to stop the backward motion of the airplane?

So T, the earth rotates at approx. 1040MPH, making it the world's largest and fastest treadmill.

How is it that I can go 100 in my boat??

LOL

Boeing uses the earths rotation with SEA LAUNCH, they deploy commercial payloads via rocket at the earths equator to get a more accurate/TRUE launch and take advantage of the extra force at the equator versus 30-40 degrees north...

SEA LAUNCH hangs out near the Queen Mary in Long Beach and is a big freaking mobile rocket launcher that gets towed around the ocean...
