i do have to wonder, if this was something someone in the past thought up to try and make runways shorter.
The conveyor belt only affects how fast the wheels are spinning. The speed of spinning wheels has no effect on how fast the plane is going. When a plane is landing, the wheels are stationary, but the plane still has speed.
Edit: And this doesn't change the distance the plane needs to take off. In fact, it probably makes the distance worse.
