    heres another example. when your running on a treadmill indoors with no fans or anything blowing on you do you feel the wind blowing against your skin...........no. its not about the speed of the tires, its about the wing passing through the air that generates lift.

    Correct. What you are failing to reliaze is that a plane will MOVE FORWARD on a treadmill in relation to a stationary object on the ground. The treadmill CANNOT keep a plane from moving forward through the air as long as the wheels are free-rolling.
