. They should launch airplanes off the side of a cliff or something. That would work

answer from my friend, an engineer that works at lockheed martin:
No, the plane won't take off.....even though the engine will run up,
without moving forward the plane will not have any airspeed, which in
turn will not generate any lift on the wings...=)

Unfortunately the plane will not take off.
The propulsion of the jet will cause the plane to move forward on the conveyor. The wheels will spin twice as fast.
Because of the wheels spinning twice as fast the rubber will catch fire, the tires will burn, and the plane will veer off the conveyor, crash, and burn.
Thus the plane will not take off.
