We`ve been arguing this for ages at work.

A plane is on a treadmill (yes a very big treadmill). The planes engines are brought up to full power and all the flaps etc are in the right position for take off. However the treadmill works as a normal treadmill does and will therefore rotate at the same speed as the wheels...

Does the plane take off ?
