Subject: RE: BS: The Mythbusters airplane takeoff problem

Thanks to Betttynh,I am about convinced...BUT was that trial done such that the speed of the conveyer and the plane were moving at equal but opposite directions at all times, given the primitive conditions of the test? Also, were the wheels in constant contact with the conveyer, again owing to the primitive conditions. Finally, do those things matter?
