Default RE: finally they will put an end to this

I thought the arguement was.... if the planes wheels are going the same speed as the conveyor will it take off.... ? If every time the planes wheels move 1mph the conveyor moves 1mph in the opposite direction, wouldn't that cancel the ground limitation and the plane would still move forward because of the thrust from the engines ? I think people are trying to compare the thrust with the movement of the wheels..... the wheels make no difference. Lets say A= wheels b = conveyor and C= the planes engines. If A=B then B=A... C is left under it's own power thus moving the plane.....correct me if i'm wrong.
