You're assuming that, in rotating, the treadmill exerts a backward force on the body of the plane. It's only interacting with the wheels.

Flint, when the treadmill moves, what part of the plane is it moving?
The wheels. The wheels are free-spinning around their axles. So, as the plane moves forward (which i thought you said it couldn't do ) the wheels end up spinning faster and faster as the treadmill matches the forward motion of the plane.

If the plane is moving forward at X mph, and the treadmill is moving backwards at X mph, then the net forward speed of the plane is X mph, but the wheels are spinning at 2X mph. The treadmill is matching the speed of the plane, not the speed that the wheels are turning.

another way to look at this is to consider the aircraft carrier: the planes are 'launched' with a catapult. But the wheels are on the deck, and the catapult moves much faster than the deck. The deck could be moving backwards and still the catapult could launch the plane.

Did my bike example make sense to you?
