    ummmm, no I don't. the conveyor belt prevents the plane from ataining speed. thus the lift and drag on the plane

    LOLOLOLOLOLOL. Do you agree that no matter the speed of the conveyor the force to hold the airplane stationary would be the same? Just like my analogy to hold a skateboard stationary on a treadmill. With that said, and you already agreed the force to hold it stationary is minimal, what happens when you apply more power to the planes engines?
