What if the treadmill does the opposite? What if it matches the speed of the accelerating aircraft exactly, so the the wheel speed is zero? For that to be true, if airspeed = X, then the conveyor belt = X also, yes? This is why I think the plane will take off. Airspeed will reach X, conveyor speed will be -X and wheel speed will be 2X.
