Nope, it really is impossible. The treadmill could never match the speed of the wheels, because there's nothing it could do to keep the plane from moving forward through the air. And that means the wheels always go faster than the belt.

And Avatard, uh. no. The treadmill doesn't do anything to the plane, except spin its free-wheeling wheels. It's just like taking off from a regular runway.

Damn, I swore I wouldn't get sucked into this after the last time it came up.
