it cant be stationary. if it is stationary, then technically the treadmill isnt moving either, because the treadmill tracks the plane's speed. so yes, it can move. stop thinking of it as the wheels drive the plane.

its stationary because the conveyeer belt is counteracting the force of the wheels. if the plane is going 500mph forward, and belt is going 500mph back it wont move. get on a tread mill and start running toward new york and tell me when u get there...assuming you're running the same speed as the treadmill spins u'll never move a foot eventho you'll be running 10mph.
