The problem with this whole thing is that it's impossible for the magical treadmill to match the wheel speed of the plane. Unless some laws of physics are seriously tweaked, the plane will always move forward, and that means the wheels will always spin faster than the belt on the treadmill. If you made something in the real world that tried to constantly match the speed of the belt to the wheels, the belt would quickly keep going faster until something blew up (a la AMJ). The plane would continue on, blissfully unawares.

LOL, damn those smilies...
