>planes fly because their wheels spin
Carter Morales
Yes because the wheels of the plane are free moving and frictionless
The engines are of a separate entity if themselves, with virtually nothing holding them back from the tarmac which is frictionless remember, it produces thrust and pushes itself forward
The treadmill can spin all it wants but it'll never stop the forward thrust of the plane
Nicholas Nguyen
The answer is that the scenario is impossible. Specifically, the "designed to exactly match the speed of the wheels" part.
Thrust will move the plane forward no matter how fast the belt moves backwards. All the belt can do is make the plane's wheels spin faster. Neglecting friction, the speed of the belt would immediately shoot off to infinity as soon as the engines started.

It will fall down from treadmill and crash.

if the fishtank is completely full, and the fish swim at the top
would it fly?
i mean if the fish were strong enough/fast enough at swimming

jesus christ you all are tards
no, it won't fly. vertical thrust comes from airflow beneath the wings
