Can an airplane take off from a conveyor belt?

There’s a rather famous riddle about an airplane on a moving conveyor belt. We were recently asked about this problem and decided to address it. <blockquote> The airplane is on a runway, a sufficiently sized conveyor belt moving in the opposite direction of the aircraft. Will it take off or not? </blockquote> Who’s right? Those who believe that the airplane won’t move forward, thus the wings won’t generate lift, and the aircraft won’t take off, or those who think that despite everything, the airplane will be able to generate enough lift and take off? Let’s figure it out together. <img alt="" src="https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:700/1*D4C5eN6z4JaSvOuQgl-V-Q.jpeg" style="height:377px; width:700px" /> An airplane moves in the sky and on the ground using the same engines. The mechanism for generating thrust on the ground is no different from the mechanism for generating thrust in the air. To create thrust, the airplane’s turbojet engine constantly takes air from the atmosphere, mixes it with fuel, and burns it. Thrust is generated by expelling the combustion products from the engine nozzle. <a href="https://medium.com/@deep.space/can-an-airplane-take-off-from-a-conveyor-belt-18af17e36eb2">Visit Now</a>
