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.

The belt doesn't need to go as fast as the wheels. It needs to go as fast as the plane as far as the myth goes. So it is possible to build this. And yes your right the wheel speed increase but the fact that fact still shows that it has no effect on the plane at all.
So it is possible to build this and prove this point. Anything short of a bearing failure would not stop the plane from flying so it will prove that wheel speed doesn't matter at all.
