the tires could be going as fast as you could imagine, and with no air over the wings for lift, the thing won't leave the ground.

I think the general idea that our aerospace engineers here are trying to get at is that there's really no way a conveyor belt could stop a plane from moving, since a plane uses thrust from the turbines to move, not rotation of the wheels. The real confusion is coming from the poor wording of the problem. The idea is improbable in the first place.
Now, if a Subaru was on a conveyor belt. . .
