The treadmill's motion can not keep the plane from moving forward as it only applies any force at the wheels, which are independent from the forward force of the props / jets. The wheels will just rotate faster.

E: the helicopter shouldn't move because it's in the opposite position, the turntable /does/ apply force to the rotors.

Yeah. A/C wheels spin freely. I'm a fucking idiot, the treadmill would have no effect on the plane.
