I can't see how the plane won't move.

no way it will move! the conveyerbeld holds it in place

How?
The wheels on the plane aren't what cause the movement.
The propellors drag the plane forward in the air...the
wheels are just to reduce friction, in theory even if the
conveyor belt was powered the plane would still move foward
and the wheels would just spin a little quicker.

but how will they make it blow up?

Haha, the propeller gives the plane speed which allows the
air to flow around the wings and cause the pressure under
them to rise and therefore lift the plane upwards. What do
you think the wings are for? A fucking ornament? It will not
move an inch in the air. Well, maybe if it hits a bump or
something.

have you.... ever.... seen a plane? they often do full
throttle to test engines with wheel brakes on before lift
off.... do they lift up while doing this? no. because the
wind from the propellers does not affect the whole wing,
only parts of it... what happens if a plane is in mid air,
full throttle, and does not move forward? it falls down.
stall.
plane =/= helicopter.

ecnadniarb is right. hopefully the wheels will break before
lift off speed and everyone will die.

Oh shit, I think braindance is right. The conveyor belt has
no way to stop the plane from moving forward.

Of course assuming that the friction on the bearings of the
wheels is zero, but even if it was really big the plane
would probably skid and fly anyway.

I give myself to the gallows.

i think the plane will not lift off, accelerate like a mad
fuck when the conveyor belt ends and kills both adam and
jamie and the captain
