It doesnt matter. the wheels are independent from everything else. The wheels will just move at the normal takeoff speed of the plane+the speed of the treadmill. the plane will use up just as much of the conveyor as it would a runway. its an easy concept, if u dont understand it, then u probably dont have much goin on up top.
