The friction of the treadmill will have an impact on wheels approaching the speed of infinite though. And then on rims when they burn up, and so on and so on. Until that plane is sitting on its belly or blows up.

Tell me a jet can take off with the wheels completely locked up, go on. do it.

You underestimate 4 jet engines at 240,000 horsepower.

They could be the big bad wolf and blow a small home down. Rubber tires aren't going to have much of a chance holding it still.
