yes the plane takes off when the treadmill is going the speed required for the plane to take off. but i am arguing that if the treadmill were to match the wheel speed it wouldn't be able to move forward cause the wheels would never go faster than the treadmill allowing it to move forward :run:

Dude, get it through your head. The speed of the treadmill does not matter. Did you see the episode?

yes i understand it all, but i am saying in a hypothetical situation the friction on the wheels will matter.

Friction is a pretty negligible force when you consider a jet engine can blow over a bus and then lift a 255,000 pound airplane effortlessly into the air.

this is one of those arguments that never end, i guess i will just save us the trouble and stop

What if the treadmill was the fuzzy side of velcro, and the wheels were wrapped with the stiff side of velcro?

What if the plane was really a hotdog in disguise, and the treadmill was a 95lb dude from China?

This is just getting too deep.

The treadmill could be going eighty bojillion miles an hour and the plane would still take off. The wheels have no influence on the planes forward momentum.
The plane is being moved by the thrust generated by the propeller. The propeller and the wheels are not connected.

 

[Mean Mr. Mustard]

Wait...what if the treadmill was inside the airplane?
what then?

It has an end. It's linked to when you decide to stop being a dumbass.
