            Air Plane Hour

            Jamie and Adam take wing to test if a person with no flight training can safely land an airplane and if a plane can take off from a conveyor belt speeding in the opposite direction. Tory, Grant, and Kari jump on some Hollywood-inspired skydiving myths.

                    Well, if the plane is taking off under its own power, it doesn't matter how fast [or slow] the conveyor belt is going. If the plane is placed on a belt and the speed is cranked up, then no.

                        It does not matter how the plane is propelled. If the belt is always matching the wheel speed, the plane cannot move forward. With that said, I don't see how they're going to pull this one off with a jet/rocket.

                            who says the belt speed always matches the plane speed?

                                Either way, we can all watch the plane go nowhere while reminding ourselves how cute Kari is, and how annoying Grant is.

                                    Wait... The turbines move the plane forward but the wind over the wings is what creates lift. If the conveyerbelt itself is "stationary" and the plane isn't actually moving forward, where is the wind to generate the lift?
                                    Just saying.

                                                    The drag of the wheels on the belt isn't enough to overpower the thrust of the jets.

                                                        ?
                                                        Confused. What does whhel drag have to do with lift?
                                                        It's like a kite. If you took the propeller off a plane and tied a rope to it, put the flaps up and towed it till you reached the correct speed to generat lift it would take off and fly. You of course would have to keep that speed or it would crash. But lift needs to be generated by wind. not my a turbine or propeller.
