this is assuming that the treadmill of the plane can keep up with the top speed of the jet.[/b]
Even if the conveyor spun at 100 times the speed of the aircraft, the plane would still create forward speed by pushing air the way a powerboat pushes water. The friction against the wheels is infintesmal (sp?) and is overcome by the props/jets pushing the whole plane.
