Uuuugh...I got to the second page and was amazed by the abundance of idiocy. Read this slowly and carefully, as I will only type it once:
The forward thrust is produced by the engines...not the wheels.
The treadmill will not be able to hold the airplane still in one place, no matter how fast it can potentially spin past wheel limitation speeds.
Therefore...it's an impossible scenario. As soon as power is applied, the airplane will roll forward off the treadmill
Now...back to the canary thing...I think the plane would weigh 1,000 lbs less...no?
