...'Ah so were talking propellor, not jet'...

Either or, don't think it would matter really, both engines still grab air from in front and chuck it out the back against static air thus get thrust.

...'the propellor is still creating enough force by drawing in the air in front and pushing it out the back, that it can counter-act the conveyor. So with this in mind, the plane is still stationary'...

Correct

...'The conveyor is going backwards at 100mph, the engines on keeping the plane stationary meaning the wheels are doing 100mph also'...

Correct

...'However the wings arent moving through the air, so no lift is being created. So it wont go anywhere.'...

Correct again

But the plane can easily counter the conveyor because its using static air to pull against and throw out back instead of trying to push against a constantly moving conveyor, SO with the rules stating wheel speed needs to remain equal to the backward moving conveyor the plane cannot (within those rules) move forward and take off
