Holy shit

Why is it that some people think the plane would move if the engine thrust pushes it forward on a runway...a "normal scenario...."

But suddenly think it moves like a car, with its tire speed somehow relevant...?

The tires do not push the plane!

The engine THRUST moves the Plane!

If the conveyor MATCHES the speed of the plane...

How would the plane produce a speed to match?



It has to be pushed forward by its THRUST!

Thrust DOESN'T turn the tires....it moves the plane through the air...and the tires can ONLY turn, IF THE PLANE MOVES....

IF the plane DOES move when the engine thrust pushes it forward......its moving relative to the AIR...

BECAUSE, the thrust DOESN'T rotate the tires, the plane's MOVEMENT does...

As the Movement is ONLY ABLE TO HAPPEN IF THE PLANE IS PUSHED FORWARD,

AND,

It can ONLY be pushed forward relative to the AIR,

What's rolling under the plane ONLY spins its TIRES, and DOESN'T change the plane's movement through the air.
