    First if you want to get anal about this lets do it, There are different size of runways all around the world, also different altitudes; some are shorter than others and some other are at 220 sea level and others at 4700 over sea level; so if you have the shortest of the runways at city over 4700 over sea level and you have a fully loaded plane ready for an international flight the plane will not take off, It will reach the end of the stupid "treadmill" and crash.

    There are a lot more variables that are not take into consideration when the stupid questions was asked... such as altitude, air temperature, passenger load, fuel load and distance of the runway, w/out all of these variable we can guess a fictional answer to and fictional question.
    Okay, let's look at it with a more simple question: WILL the plane move forward? Yes or no? Can the treadmill stop the plane from moving forward? Yes or no?

    If the answer is yes to the first question, then we can all agree that the plane will eventually take off given a long enough runway.
