But they gave the plane 50mph ground speed (in relation to the belt), or 25mph airspeed.

So obviously, if the plane moves faster than the conveyor belt, it will move forward, get lift, and fly.

Where is the whole "matching speeds" thing that they agreed to do? They should have given both the plane and the belt 25mph ground speed, which would make the plane stay still, as a person would on a treadmill. This would entail cutting back on the throttle as soon as the plane started to move forward, but that is what they said they were going to do...match speeds.
if the plane had a speed of 50 mph in relation to the belt, doesnt that mean its moving at an actual speed of 25 mph in one direction and the conveyor(tarp) at a speed of 25 in the other, that looks like matching speeds to me
