For one, the plane isn't going anywhere, thus no lift is being generated, thus the plane is not going to take off.

False. The effect of the conveyor belt is none, since the plane gets its thrust from the jet engines, not from friction from the ground. The wheels are basically frictionless and freely moving. The plane will take off.
