wtf does wording have to do with it? The plane will take off no matter how fast the treadmill is going.

Well, it gets slightly less “doable” in a real world sense if you change the wording to refect that it is matching the wheels speed as opposed to the planes speed. Esp. w/out more explicit definition of what one means with “wheel speed” which is why the question is worded matching the planes speed.

Regardless, it would still take off, its just more theoretical because you’d end up in quite the loop trying to get the conveyor speed to match the wheel speed.
