I don't know about that mythbuster's test. I would think the weight of the plane would cause the wheels to still have some contact with the ground, even though the conveyor is being pulled. I don't know, but this does have me wondering....
I can understand that the engine will cause lift, and allow the plane to take off, but I am just not so sure. Even after I watched the Mythbuster's thing. I think you would need one big conveyor, that is off the ground, to test this right.
