The thing that gets me is this:
We run out of space for planes to lift off and land in holland, so much they even think about building another airport in the sea.
If a conveyor belt would make a plane take off then that would cut the use of the lanes into half.
So if it works, why arent they using it?

Cause the energy it will burn off useing plane engines AND conveyor belts means that each plane takeing off will double the fuel cost...
At least I guess thats part of it... also building one that supports a plane would be pretty hard :D

The safety aspect of it would be huge- to get something with the scales of safety needed.... well lets say reclaiming land would be cheaper

It doesn't actually help decrease the length of your runway either :-)
You need the plane to reach airspeed X still, that hasn't changed. The threadmill won't let it accelerate any faster.
What would work would be a giant ventilator* .. but it'd only work for a few meters up and then there would not be any nondangerous way for the plane to get out of the airstream. So .. another fail 
* Won't even get into how big it would need to be and how much energy that takes .. Won't be cheap for sure!

I say less talk about airplanes, and more talk about how to create a teleportation device!!
That, or mass-produce the DeLorean DMC-12's... the Back to the Future ones that run on garbage and wee.
