Can the plane take off?

Ok since we all agree the plane doesn’t take off..

What about this fella?

Look the guy will splat on the street.
The plane has no air coming over the wing . If planes just need thrust then why have a wing, ailerons and rutters.
Why not just put people on a jet engine with some plywood. Cheese and rice , let it go
 
The AI gods have spoken. Your resistance is probably what brings the bots here to CSR to post...

That's a different question/riddle than the OP. This one says "...a giant treadmill that can move in the opposite direction..", whereas the original stated ""The belt conveyor is designed to match the speed of the wheels""

It doesn't actually matter how you phrase it, birds still aren't real. Somewhere in this thread there is an actual engineering type response to this riddle. The plane takes off but this is indeed the internet, nobody believes anything and everyone is an engineer, physicist, doctor or lawyer.

You have to acknowledge that the wheels are allowed to accelerate for a split second before the conveyor matches wheel speed or the actual answer to this riddle is "undefined" or, for those with liberal arts degrees, that's the "skip the next player" symbol from the card game Uno.
 
I’m wondering, if the treadmill is matching the airspeed of the plane, and the plane lands on it, will the plane stay in place?
If the treadmill is matching the "air" speed of the plane.....is it flying along under it?

If the treadmill is matching the "ground" speed of the plane and the plane lands on it....it loses it's lift and will sit on the treadmill with its wheels spinning at the same speed of the treadmill. And now you are back to the original story with the planes wheels spinning.

Treadmill is on the ground, but the belt is moving the same speed as the plane about to land on it. I move that all aircraft carrier decks have treadmills installed. ;)
