An airplane (jet or propeller) is standing on a runway with a moving surface (like a conveyor belt). The surface can move in the opposite direction of the airplane's takeoff. It has a control system that tracks and adjusts the speed of the surface so that the speed of the airplane's wheels is equal to the speed of the surface. Question: will the airplane be able to take off under these conditions?




Do you think I'm doing charity?
Regarding the airplane: it depends on the viscosity of the air. If the fabric drags it along well enough, the airplane will take off.
Well, I had that thought... )))
Rimp, should I post what I have? Or did you already figure it out and this is where the provocative argument about beer came from? )

You can come over, pick up the beer, Rimp.

Well, the canvas is a plane, and the direction of the airflow in this plane is collinear with the direction of the airflow around the aircraft (conditionally). Roughly speaking, they don't touch (or touch very little). In any case, the difference in the forces of the airflows would be negligible, so it wouldn't give the aircraft enough acceleration to take off.
Where do you live? Maybe I'll be passing through.
Moscow region, Korolev, a city with a space center.
