I don't think it will fly, I think the forward thrust is meant to counter act gravity until the plane achieves liftoff. Now with the treadmill counter acting the effects of gravity in relation to the wheels and the runway, I don't think there will be enough forward motion to create lift. I am still trying to wrap my head around the whole idea.
