Lol think again about it
If you are right a rocket can go only if it has wheels
Sorry, but the thrust of the jets really has nothing to do with the wheels.
And it will moving forward because of the thrust. Easy physics
[Edit]
It would be another thing in case the wheels are glued on a conveyor belt

Quote: not if the conveyor belt is counteracting that thrust. Now I come to agree ... but that was never mentioned to be like this
[Edit]
No it doesn't really matters, it is constructed. Otherwhise you need to explain how 'not if the conveyor belt is counteracting that thrust' can be done in praxis
And that would be then only a very consrtucted thing, which has nothing to do with praxis

What? Rockets work only vertical?
Only nonsense. Stop doing this...

Did'nt you write this?

?? So rockets are only able to fly vertical??

Sorry again. If you don't see from what an airplane is driven (and not glued by wheels to the ground especally not to the jets) then I can't help.
It is simply physics and there is no need to construct unreal cases.

I have not constructed an unreal case, merely stated the truth.

Action - reaction. The wheels won't turn - the conveyor will move with the plane; the forward movement of the wheels moves the conveyor.
Nothing is being applied to the wheels; it's only holding the plane up. Along the lines of spaceship thrusters: no friction needed.
I think you can assume the conveyor acts as a friction-less surface.

Many years ago at a tiny company where we consumed our lunches together at the conference table we had a similar heated discussion this time re/ if you walked up a down escalator w/o changing your elevation did you do any work? I now can not imagine why this was so perplexing at the time. Then there is Richard Feynman wondering if one can piss whilst upside down.
Below is my "Signature" apologies if offends

Thanks everyone for your replies, the links and the videos.
When I posted this question, little did I imagine that it would raise such an intense discussion. Thanks once again.

The speed of the wheels is irrelevant - they aren't powered or driven in any way.
The speed of the airflow over the wings is the source of lift, along with the wings angle of incidence.
Assuming the conveyor is moving at the same speed (but in the opposite direction) as the aircraft would be on a normal runway then the aircraft would actually be stationery and the airflow over the wings would effectively be zero and thus not generating any lift?

I sure would like to see that airplane sitting there on the runway with the engines running at full power, but the plane is standing completely still because its wheels are spinning around. Nothing else is holding the plane back, and the wheels are free running, but in some magical way they still manage to cancel out the full power of the engines.
I'd sure like to see that happen. And also to have a reasonable explanation how it can be possible.

The airplane does or does not lift off owing to the upward airflow forces on the wings.
If the air does not move relative to the airplane (or vice versa) the plane will stay on the ground.
And the speed of the conveyorbelt relative to the air close by will cause some drag, therefore some
lift, but it is likely to be way too little, unless you add a quite signifant ventilator to help.
That should be pretty obvious, but I miss the joke - if there is one?

Why wouldn't the engines provide exactly the same thrust on the plane body, giving it the same forward acceleration as on a non-belted runway?
|
|
|
|
|
My understanding was that the engines were not used. If I took that one wrong, sorry.
But engines give forward thrust irrespective of the behavior of the wheels (assuming they can turn), so in that case the plane would go forward anyway, the wheels just having to turn faster in response to the belt.
|

|
|
If the engines are not running, I would definitely not want the plane to take off!

Only if you have a really big fan blowing at a speed at least that of the aircrafts V2 (take off) speed.
|
|
|
|
|
Then the aircraft will go and hit that fan
