Default Two conveyor belt scenarios

(a) in the direction of the airplane's landing

The airplane will touch down, and the tires will not spin.

(b) in the opposite direction of the airplane's landing


The airplane will touch down as before, and the tires will spin twice as
fast as they would have landing on still ground.
