ok, queers. Every treadmill I've ever stood on operated whether or not I was there to push on it or not. You know, a motor turns the belt.
Obviously the plane flies if there is nothing there to turn the belt, same as you can push a hotwheels car along a floor, and it does indeed move to a position ahead of it's former position relatively.
Isn't the question whether the plane flies, given the treadmill motor can turn infinitely fast, thus making the runway move infinitely fast backwards, thus keeping the plane stationary, and on the ground.
