here's a way of explaining it:
put a hot wheels toy car on top of a large piece of paper. snatch the pull the piece of paper horizontally from under the hot wheels (swiftly)... The distance traveled of the hot wheels car is less than the distance traveled of the paper. If you pull it fast enough, the car might not move at all. Why? Because the car isn't attached to the paper. The cars tendency to move with the paper is caused by the resistance coefficient in the wheels at whatever speed the paper is pulled.
So yes, the airplane would accelerate and lift off, but at a lesser rate due to the resistance in the wheel bearings of the airplane.

It won't lift and this is why: The thruster may be on to get the plane going, but the conveyor is creating a disruption in the planes actually ability to gain momentum down the runway. It would be like drying to drive on a frozen lake w/just the rims. Yeah they are going to spin hella fast but you won't get anywhere. Second there is no substantial airflow created to make lift and 3rd: unless the wings are postioned for lift off, the plane is staying grounded.

No, it will not move.
1. The plane is stationary and its weight rest on the ground
2. Therefore, the thrusters doesn't have any affects.
3. it X, Y, Z position doesn't change => no change in air volume => No air movement => It doesn't get the lift.
Think of it this way. When you take your car to dyno or to emission. They have you wheels rolling on the "thing". Yes, your speed increases but you don't feel any air movement, why? because your X,Z,Y Postion doesn't change. So, what good will it do to the plane?

But thats because the engine is directly connected to the wheels. In a plane, the wheels gets no power at all.
