Default A problem to ponder

A plane is standing on a runway that can move (some sort of band conveyer) and as the plane moves in one direction, the conveyer moves in the opposite direction. This conveyer has a control system that tracks the plane speed and tunes the speed of the conveyer to be exactly the same (but in the opposite direction). Will the plane take off or not?

Are you just trying to see if we're paying attention?
