Default Can a Plane on a Treadmill Take Off?

What is the conveyor belt going to push against now?

The conveyor belt is pushing against the force of the prop through the
air but we don't care. The problem stated that they are doing 80mph, we
shouldn't worry about how the plane is able to do 80mph on the belt.
