Anatech,
What can I say that I, and others, have not already said?
The belt speed exactly matches the wheel speed at all times.
The wheels are attached to the plane- their land 'speed' is measured via some sort of rotation measuring device which is fixed to the plane. This factors in wheel circumfrence and provides a 'speed' reading.
The belt is attached to the earth in a similar manner- the belt's 'speed' is measured relative to the earth, on which it sits.
If the speeds are to match in opposing directions, the plane is NOT free to move WRT the earth.

How do you know your computer isn't playing video games all the time, while you're busy burning a movie, surfing the web, whatever?

That's it !!!
You are a virtual airplane on a virtual conveyor belt runway that matches the speed of the wheels. Your user plays a computer game while trying to burn a movie (a home movie, you can relax now disney studios) can the virtual plane .....umm...virtually fly ?

Doh !!!!
Ok ...at the equator....at the north pole really sensitive people might get dizzy (really really really sensitive people).

Eh . . . so, the contact point remains at the same position.
Meanwhile, the jet engine roars . . .
It creates moment force about the contact point . . .
The tail of the plane is lifted up . . .
The head of the plane is pressed down . . .
The head kiss the rotating belt . . .
Then, the plane body turns a somersault . . .
Awesome . . .

Actually, no. If the plane were to rotate about its axles, that would be equivalent to the wheels slowing their rotation. Therefore the speed-matching belt would slow to match this slowing and keep the plane level.
Yes, Awesome!

Hi Lostcause,
No one. I just covered the bases that get a fight started. That being my point.

v1d, seriously, if this stuff offends you, don't read it. Personal insult directed at other members is against forum rules.

Hi v1d9uy,
Given that this thread is under "Off Topic", it's in an area where the topics are not that serious in nature. We cut a little more slack here. We will not allow rude behaviour or personal attacks, but having fun is quite alright.

Edit: One day I'll be able to spell again.
