Not true. The problem is so simple and yet you can't figure it out. By your logic, neither the plane nor the treadmill will move because you say the plane doesn't move. So, to satisfy "The treadmill is designed to exactly match the forward speed of the plane." and your argument that the plane doesn't move, the treadmill won't either because the treadmill only matches the "forward speed of the plane". If the plane moves forward at 2 mph, the treadmill moves at 2 mph in the other direction. So what happens? Does the plane stop and because it isn't moving forward, the treadmill stops? f*** no. What happens is that the plane moves forward at 2 mph, the treadmill spins in the opposite direction at 2 mph and the wheels on the plane spin at 4 mph.
