jarrod. do you even know what ANY of that means?
if you want to look at it SEMI complexly the only equations that should be brought in to play are equations pertaining to roller bearing frictional forces based on heat and linear speed.
The geometry of the airfoil is not related to the problem in any way, unless you want to examine the problem EXTREMELY complexly and factor in boundary layer conditions of entrained air near the surface of the treadmill, which could be calculated complexly through the use of the navier-stokes equations. However, since the entrained air is moving in a direction opposite the thrust, you will find that it only aides the plane in lifting off sooner.
