IT WILL FLY!
the conveyor cannot stop the forward movement of the airplane. kumakagat sa hangin yung engine. aabante yan, yung gulong parang free wheel lang. pag umabante, magkakaroon na ng bernoulli effect or kung anuman iyon sa wings. kailangan lang mahaba yung conveyor para makaabot sa take off speed. kung maikli mag-crash yan ano magagawa nung gulong, hindi naman yun ang nagpapaabante ng eroplano..

I agree, you have to push the plane using air for it to reach a certain speed. Ang assumption ko dito is since the treadmill matches the wheel speed, the airplane never moves. No forward movement=no distance covered. No distance covered, no speed. No speed=no lift.
For example, when running at 5mph on a treadmill, does air flow over us at 5mph? No because we are stationary. Now for example we put on a rocket pack (ala Wiley Coyote) on our backs and use it to propel us 5mph(on roller blades) on a treadmill running at exactly 5mph. Will there be movement? Still no. It doesnt matter where the source of propulsion is (this case rocket pack), since the treadmill will always match our forward velocity, there can be no speed.
Kaya nga aircraft carriers and airports have certain runway lengths, that length is the minimum distance needed by the plane to acheive sufficient velocity to produce lift. Since running on the treadmill does not produce any velocity, no lift.

Ang daming ayaw maniwala, hehehe.
Some people are concentrating too much on the wheel/conveyor belt-effect, that the basics get overlooked ... that the medium is air. The plane will move forward, even if you take out the wings. Just like what people on the other side of the argument keep pointing out, the wheels will just spin faster.

Now for example we put on a rocket pack (ala Wiley Coyote) on our backs and use it to propel us 5mph(on roller blades) on a treadmill running at exactly 5mph. Will there be movement? Still no.
For example. You are on roller blades, standing on a very long treadmill. With treadmill not running, somebody pushes you forward momentarily and off you go rolling at constant speed. You will remain at the same speed forever if not stopped by very little friction force on the roller's bearings. Now while you are cruising at the same speed, the treadmill was started and moved backwards. Will you be slowing down now? No, because there is practically no friction between you and the treadmill surface. You simply continue to cruise at the same speed, but now the wheels are turning faster (because there is friction between the treadmill and the roller rubbers).
It doesnt matter where the source of propulsion is (this case rocket pack), since the treadmill will always match our forward velocity, there can be no speed.
For a car, propulsion is derived from friction between tire and road,i.e., propulsion is apllied at the bottom surface of the wheel. In this case, the basic intuition works. The car will remain stationary if the road matches the car speed. The car can be made to go forward or backwards depending on the difference of speed between wheel and road.
Kaya nga aircraft carriers and airports have certain runway lengths, that length is the minimum distance needed by the plane to acheive sufficient velocity to produce lift. Since running on the treadmill does not produce any velocity, no lift.

see my pahabol statement above. i mean, i can go on vacation anytime. but my spouse has her...
