The only thing I can possibly think of that you are trying to say is that this:

"exactly match the speed of the wheels"

... doesn't refer to the speed of the surface of the wheel/conveyor belt, but the rotational speed. Is this correct?

(It doesn't matter anyway, my plane has huge wheels, their circumference is the same as the circumference of the conveyor belt, so it can still take off!)
