I know that I might bnot seem reliable because this is my first post, but I wish to dispel this fear by mentioning that I have seen this done in real life, not on Mythbusters. First, the airplane did take off. For all of you people who talking about lift, yes the lift comes from the wings moving through the air. As far as the airplane moving in relation to the ground, it does. The reason for this is that the thrust comes from the engines (whether they be old-fashioned propellor or modern turbine) and has nothing to do with the wheels whatsoever. This means that basically the wheels can spin freely. Because of this, the treadmill is basically nonexistant. If you do not believe me, put a model airpland on a big treadmill and notice that it does take off. I have personally seen it done many times.
