I guess my thinking is that if the plane needs to hit 100 knots to take off, and the treadmill is going at 100 knots, the plane will now require a ground speed of 200 knots to take off.
And looking at the plane in the picture, I'm not sure it is capable of reaching a speed of double its takeoff velocity; be it ground speed or air speed.
