What the wheels and conveyor do is irrelavent as none of that provides any propulsion. The wheels lower friction and provide for braking.
Theoretically, the conveyor could be moving backwards at double the speed of the plane and it still wouldn't matter. That would only cause the wheels to spin even faster, but the plane will still be getting thrust, moving forward and generating lift.

same as a float plane or plane w/ skis, wheels don't have to roll to take off.
