Can a Plane on a Treadmill Take Off?

Reread the stated problem:
"a conveyer belt that moves in the
opposite direction at exactly the speed that the airplane is moving
forward."
All it is, is a trick question, aimed at testing your reading and
comprehension ablility. The plane moves off in exactly the same manner as
on a regular runway. The moving belt is a distracter.
