Can a Plane on a Treadmill Take Off?
On the contrary, the problem clearly states that the conveyor is moving at
the speed that the plane is moving (but in the opposite direction). If the
plane is not moving, the conveyor would not be moving. If the conveyor is
moving, the plane MUST be moving. If it's moving fast enough, it will take
off.

Greg,
If you have a motoroized conveyor which
always reduces the plane's forward movement to zero,
Nowhere does it say that in the question.
