Imagine a 747 is sitting on a conveyor belt, as a runway. The conveyor belt is moving in the opposite direction. Can the plane take off?
That makes sense. I've heard some people argue that the conveyor belt would prevent the plane from moving forward, though.
Another misconception! The conveyor belt can only exert a force on the wheels, not on the rest of the plane. As long as the engines are generating enough thrust to overcome the friction on the wheels, the plane will move forward.
