Again...if the plane is standing still (it is, if the conveyor is moving), then there is NO wind to give the wings lift. The wings MUST have lift to get the plane off the ground.
If the plane is standing still, then the conveyor belt isn't moving, and it may as well be a parking lot.

Moby, what part of the plane has to move in order for the plane to be moving?

For your arguement to work, you would have to say the tires. But the tires on a commercial airliner are tucked up under the body, so does the plane not move, then, if the tires aren't rotating?
