Can a Plane on a Treadmill Take Off?

Must consider the wind at time of experiment. If wind is same speed as

Wind has nothing to do with it. The airplane will accelerate and move
down the treadmill just as it would a stationary runway. It cannot feel
the treadmill at all. The wheels can, but the wheels spin independently
of the thrust generated by an airplane.
