    hrm i dont know my logic is likely wrong, but it seems like the plane would NOT lift off.
    I did NOT negative gravity. That falls into the "drag" that I was talking about. It will "lift" when there is enough forward thrust. No matter have fast the conveyor belt is spinning backwards, once the plane gets enough forward thrust, it will take off. The conveyor belt would have no way to keep that down as it is only spinning the wheels while the thrust is working on the air.
