they proved it could be done.

If the wheels were locked (not spinning), and the treadmill was accelerated to the speed required for flight, then yes, it would take off. If the wheels were free to spin, the plane would not move forward relative to the ground and would therefore have no lift.

I always thought the treadmill would be going the opposite way of the plane's forward motion (or attempt at motion).

Again, if the wheels were spinning, it would make no difference.

they used a plane and a 1oooft tarp being pulled the opposite direction.

the pilot said before the attempt didn't he think it would work either. maybe you're related

Yes, I just watched it. You'll note that the plane was moving relative to the ground, which of course caused air to flow over the wings and produced the requisite lift.

And were its wheels spinning when it took off?
