Can a Plane on a Treadmill Take Off?

In a previous article, "jesse" said: Ok, so all of us do not comment on his site, or well maybe that would be better, does this guy really not have any sense to know that the ground speed is completely irreleveant to aerodynamics(thinking of the threads about 152s with 0 or negative ground speed)? whatever.... airspeed is zero, no lift, no fly. Hopefully the people commenting on his site aren't as stupid as you. Paul...dont look now, but that airplane is NOT flying off the ground until the AIRSPEED is up...the treadmill is only moving the TIRES, that means diddly squat to an airplane. Damian
