Kestrel is arguing a complelety parallel argument. I'm not talking about the conveyor moving the air around airplane. I'm talking about the conveyor not moving the airplane. My argument is that the conveyor is going to make the wheels on the airplane spin, and not make the entire airplane move at the velocity of the conveyor.
FWIW, I'm going for my dual masters in Physics and Mechanical Engineering.
