Point to consider:

(Forget the belt thing for a minute)

Ordinary plane taking off from an ordinary run way...

The tires are turning at the plane's speed as it lifts off...

...the instant that the plane's tires are no longer ON the runway, they start slowing...is the plane slowing?

laugh

What if I placed some rollers on the runway EXACTLY at the POINT of lift off for the TIRES?

The plane is hurtling down the runway, its tires rotating at the plane's speed....

It hits the rollers EXACTLY AT THE POINT IT WOULD LIFT OFF...

The tires HAVE NO TRACTION on the rollers...

They JUST SPIN UNDER THE TIRES>>>>Can the plane take off?
