Default An interesting question I've been presented with.......

I have been asked a question, I'm not sure if I'm right or not but read this and tell me what you think to it.......

"If an aeroplane is taking off but is on a conveyor belt that is moving at the same speed as the plane, would the plane take off?"

Sorry if it's in the wrong section, but I personally think it won't take off.

Sure, haven't you ever stuck your arm out the car window while it was moving?
