    but how does it get lift if it is prevented from accelerating from 0 to 1 km/h of ground speed

    That’s the thing - it is not prevented from accelerating. The wheels are functionally frictionless. That’s why planes have brakes. The plane pushes on the air to move, & the treadmill could accelerate backwards until the plane’s tires explode.
