      Don't bother considering the plane taking flight, that is an after effect.
      The idea was set a plane to move forward at a set speed, set the conveyor to move opposite at same speed, the two negate and the plane remains stationary, which it didn't. The plane moves forward at the speed it was set to.

      If plane gets fast enough it will fly, if 80% thrust is all it takes, let the treadmill go 100% or 1000%, won't matter plane will throttle to 80%, move forward, reach speed necessary for lift and take off

      The big catch is, the plane cannot be held back or stationary regardless of speed of either device. That alone is enough to prove the plane will take off as it would without a belt

          The key thing to get a grasp on is why the conveyor has no (or very little) effect on the plane. A plane is not like a car. Its wheels spin freely and have nothing to do with propelling it. The propeller or jet engine pushes it forward and the conveyor has only a small friction effect on it.

            If I jump off a building and flap my arms really fast, will I fly? I'm not gonna try this at home, I'll just get some other poor sap to try it.

                    What plane?
                    Take off?
                    Huh?

                    Another reason I don't gamble.
                    I'm wrong 50 percent of the time.

                      Of course it flew, the plane moved forwards.

                        I think Wiley E. Coyote, super genius, tried that a few times. You might search for his results on that approach.

                        Takeoffs are optional but landings are mandatory.

                          Be without fear in the face of your enemies. Be brave and upright, that God may love thee. Speak the truth always, even if it leads to your death. Safeguard the helpless and do no wrong.
