The answer is no it will not take off.

To those arguing thrust is in the engines not the wheels. Yes, but if the conveyor belt is matching speed in the opposite direction, the plane will remain stationary, thrusting its engines, and not moving through the air to create lift. It's not a Delorean, speed isn't the only thing required for take off.
