I got this from another board and thought Id see how you guys do. It took me 2 days to understand this and get the answer.

"On a day with absolutely calm wind, a plane is standing on a runway that can move (some sort of band conveyor). The plane moves in one direction, while the conveyor moves in the opposite direction. The conveyor has a control system that tracks the plane speed and tunes the speed of the conveyor to be exactly the same (but in the opposite direction). Can the airplane ever take off?"

 
I dont see how the plane could take off, because there would be no movement, meaning no air flow over or under the wings. But I am sure the answer to the question is yes it can take off //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif
