Mythbusters airplane/treadmill video
PeeCeeElf,
didn't address the question
as it was originally asked
There is no way to ask the question without the aircraft taking off.
The only difference is in the speed of the wheels. In one variant, it
is twice that of a "stationary runway" situation, in the other it is
infinite. In both cases, nothing keeps the aircraft from flying.
Einstein had a hard time convincing people, too.
