I believe it pretty much sums up the two schools of thought presented in this thread.

I'm going to go ahead and use what people are hinting at to add a third possibility. If everyone wants to take it that literally, then shouldn't you take into account the speed rating of aircraft tires? I have no idea what it is. But I'd assume that takeoff speed depends on the airplane's design. Maximum speed rating of the tires on that airplane will also depend on the tire. Essentially though, at the air speed at which the airplane's wings would generate lift, the wheels would be spinning twice as fast as they would during takeoff on a normal runway. That's a lot of stress on the tires and wheel bearings and other related components. There exists the possibility that before the plane generates enough airflow for lift, the wheels or landing components will fail and the plane will be lost on the belt. Before saying yes, one would have to take those items' capabilties into account. So, I'll add this:

Group 3: People who think it DEPENDS
These people believe that one would have to do more research into the design of airplanes and the maximum capabilities of their individual components. There is not enough information in the original question to make an outright decision without further time invested.


Oh and it's spelled ridiculous.
