As they say: this question is as old as the internet and needles to say that it has been discussed, and even MythBusters made an episode about it (it can not take off).
But what bothers me is why is this question even a thing, let alone so popular because in this situation the airplane is standing still. So even if you don't know the physics behind it, it is obvious that the airplane needs to move on the ground to take off, therefore this conveyer belt does absolutely nothing to the airplane except that it turns its wheels fast.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
