OK, let's try this one. The engine is not on at all. The plane is just sitting there. Now the treadmill/runway starts to turn, let's say at 10 MPH. What happens to the plane?

In Steve's scenario, the plane moves along with the runway if there is friction, and it stays stationary if there is no friction.
