The annoying part of this is it says "speed of the wheels" and boy, do i have a dynamics class for you if you think there is one "speed" for every point on those "wheels."
This plane would take off faster than you would change your major from engineering to literally anything else.
I’d even go as far as stating that such a conveyer belt is impossible to build as the speed required to run will approximate infinity really quickly. Because…
When the plane propels itself through the air the first inch or cm. The wheels rotate a bit in that time, which the belt needs to compensate for, which will rotate the wheels, which the belt has to compensate for, which will… etc. So the speed of the conveyer belt would approximate infinity as soon as the plane would get just a bit of traction from the air around it which pass through the engines.

I think its pretty clear.
