Their experiment confirmed our conclusion: that it had little to no effect on the plane's takeoff.
The only problem I had with their tests is that they didn't replicate the circumstances. In their small and large-scale tests, the plane was not matching the speed of the belt, did it? Otherwise it wouldn't move forward relative to the ground until it took off, right?
