No, not at all.

I've been discussing this hypothetical scenario. In the scenario we have NO MOTION through the fluid of air.

speed and tunes the speed of the conveyor to be exactly the same (but
in the opposite direction).

Will the plane be able to take off?
NYM - You're on a tangent, take a break. :rolleyes:
