but theoretically putting it on a treadmill would cause it not to gain speed.... most are going to assume the treadmill and the plane are moving at the same speed, there for leaving the plane motionless.

obvious if i put a treadmill at it's slowest speed and i run faster than it.. i'm going to run off the treadmill.....
The speed of the treadmill has no effect on the plane, it can be moving backwards 10 times or 100 times the forward speed of the plane and it still will not effect the forward motion of the plane.

What powers the plane, what makes it go forward?
