I think it's hilarious how it's being posted in other forums, and they are arguing just like ATOTers did months ago. It's like a time warp!

And now the time warp has finished unraveling.

The wiki article on it doesn't make sense. Does it have Jet engines or Propeller engines? Because if the jet engine produces only 39,999.99999999999999 pounds of thurst and not 40,000 the plane does not take off.

The plane doesn't need a greater than 1:1 thrust or a specific engine type. If the plane can take off a normal run way, it can take off a the conveyor belt.

The plane doesn't take off unless the Flying Spaghetti Monster wills it to be so.
