Imagine a massive conveyor belt is running underneath a plane, The plane is designed to match the speed of the conveyor belt exactly but moves in the opposite direction. The plane engines are running at take-off thrust, the brakes are off, etc. Everything is normal save for the fact the treadmill is under the plane.

When the treadmill stops what happens to the drinks trolley?

Discuss

The drinks trolley comes to life and smacks the first guy sitting in business class.

on the bottie?

Just getting started.

I'm getting confused now - just how many threads are there relating to planes and tread mills and I dont really understand the maths relating to any of them!

Go, sit down, and drink the rest of that wine dear.

Actually its Vodka and I started my own thread on tread mills!

The trolley stays still, the wheel speed isn't connected with the inertia of the plane.

The question IS though what happens to the boobs of the trolley chicks?

NOTHING...The drink trolley is securely stowed for take off


The real question is WHAT SHOULD HAPPEN TO THE NEXT PERSON WHO STARTS A PLANE / TREADMILL THREAD?

now Iain, you are still taking the tablets arent you?? take a deep breath and relax..............................( but not on the treadmill)

ps, mine was only the 2nd thread, the original and true imitator

I hope no one is going to imititate the imitation of that OTHER boring thread

oh god, no, heaven forbid.
