Can a Plane on a Treadmill Take Off?
There will be airspeed felt by the plane in the area of the propellor
wash. Out of the prop wash, since the plane is not moving relative to
the surrounding air, there will be no relative wind felt by the
airplane. The airplane MIGHT take off, but it will not be a normal
takeoff, at least not for a normal airplane with 36' wingspan and a 6'
propellor. I really don't think there is enough information to know the
answer for sure. Too many unknowns.
This is one of these "frame of reference" problems.
