Can I just say, I didn't think this up or phrase the question, but it has intrigued me for a while on other forums. But I have to say that you guys have gone ten times further in exploring this than other forums I've been on.
My conclusion (which is not necessarily correct) is that the way the question is phrased is crucial in this... firstly, the conveyor and the wheels are used to suggest a plane tethered by an infinitely strong rope therefore the plane will never move, and not get lift, and not take off.
