> In the test, the plane has a max speed of 12MPH. The treadmill was moving 12MPH so they do match. Wheelspeed=Treadmill speed.

that is incorrect, the plane speed=conveyor speed. The wheels would have to move twice as fast to keep up.

if the plane moves forward at 12mph, and the treadmill moves reverse at 12, then it would be as if it is going 24 mph. Kind of like driving into the wind.
