Go read snoc's post over again, and think about you or a car or a top fuel dragster in a treadmill, and then an airplane. Then you MIGHT get it. MIGHT is the operative word here. I am not counting on it though.
Don't yell at me. This example is all about Newton's third law. AS long as the wheels of the plane are turning faster than the treadmill, it will take off. When the two numbers match, it will not move forward. Get over it. Planes use air to grab a hold of, cars use the road. Two completely different scenarios. One does not equivocate to the other.
