I would say the conveyor. There is still going to be substantial pressure on the conveyor caused by the mass of the plane, so any thrust in one direction is going to be countered by movement in the opposite on the conveyor. The plane may gain some forward movement, but not near enough to develop enough airflow to generate lift.
