[QUOTE="Corbs, post: 245725, member: 2690"] Napster:- Exactly. However it seems that this debate reaches one point... whether, if the conveyor alone were moving the plane would move with the conveyor or stay in the same place. I say that it would not roll without being pushed. If the conveyor moved beneath the plane, the plane would move with the conveyor. Ed says the opposite. I haven't put a plane on a conveyor yet though. Lets try. Ground 'Speed' = 0 Plane 'Speed' = +10 Belt 'Speed' = -10 Actual Plane Speed = ground speed + plane speed - belt speed = 0 I do not understand why the belt would be moving at double speed. If it was, the plane would move backward. Ground 'Speed' = 0 Plane 'Speed' = +10 Belt 'Speed' = -20 Actual Plane Speed = ground speed + plane speed - belt speed = -10 [/QUOTE]
