That's it.
As long as the speed of the air over the wing is below the level to achieve the necessary lift, plane won't become airborne, no matter how fast those wheels are a-spinnin'.
This is kinda basic.
The conundrum knows that air needs to pass over the wings in order to create lift.. we all know that. So the question is how is the air (pushed by the engines) related to the treadmill (which is governed by the wheel speed)?
