Will it take off?

Obviously not this literally... but an actual sized plane, on a huge conveyor belt running at whatever arbitrary speed would be necessary for take off.

A plane needs wind to generate lift to counteract gravity. It will not take off.

That picture confirms my post. If the plane isn't actually moving, there are no aerodynamic principles working to generate lift. Doesn't matter how fast this hypothetical conveyor belt is moving.

It would be the same principle as flying a kite. You simply run with a kite to generate the appropriate lift necessary, then once it's caught a draft it goes crazy go nuts in the sky.

I'm sticking with my request that we paint it pretty colors so it will look nice when the wings are ripped off and it explodes...

Exploding planes amuse and excite me.
