Eventually lift is achieved, and the plane can go look for an inverted conveyor with a boat underneath it.
Again, you have changed it. The conveyor matches the speed in the opposite direction. The aircraft can NOT move forward at a greater rate - the conveyor will match it. It cannot move forward at ALL.

The airspeed is 0.
