Wow I cant believe I read it all... and I am a bit confused, I understand why the guys who think it will take off think that it will take off, and it seems like they could be right but,

No matter how much I want to see it take off I don’t think it will because the wheels are relevant to the plane on take off. As long as the treadmill is balancing out the speed of the tires of the plane, which have nothing to do with airspeed, it will stay grounded. In order for flight you need thrust and lift, in this situation their will be tons and tons of thrust but no lift because the plane will not be moving foreword...

And yeah F The Plane..!
