The planes engine produces thrust. Planes taxi ect. So they can move using just wheels. The treadmill allows the engines to use more thrust. Further, there are jets that take off vertical. So we know by channeling the thrust down you will be able to take off.

It will just be a very very fast treadmill.

Brain... melting... from... absurdity... overload...

Oh? Whats so absurd about it? I reread it. Perhaps you didn't understand what i meant by move using just wheels. A better way to say that would be move with the weight being supported by the wheels instead of using wings for lift. In my example I was using a jet. Would it be possible to put a jet on a treadmill instead of an ultra light prop plane? Possible yeah.. End result they should spin the theoretical treadmill.
