Default Can a Plane on a Treadmill Take Off?

experiment, go run with a kite(in a no wind situation) untill it flies,
measure the speed youre running. get on a teadmill and run that speed
that it took to make the kite fly. does the kite fly when youre on the
treadmill? no... same thing as the airplane on the conveyor belt. i
know i said i was done but i cant keep my hand out of this.
