1. Imagine you are a person running on a treadmill at 5mph, and treadmill is set to 5mph. Clearly you would be stationary, that's the whole point of a treadmill that you exert energy, while not moving. No?
2. Now, simply replace yourself running, with an airplane. What would cause the airplane to "take off" if it's stationary, like we established in previous step?
