Re: think about this...

The problem with this scenario is that the drive isn't created by the wheels, so this belt wouldn't result in the plane not moving, it would mean the wheels would be moving REALLY quickly, but the thrust would still push teh plane forward.
This scenario is impossible.

Yeah, the exact speed I think will be determined by the friction in the axels given that the wheels are not skidding in any way. It's hard to picture the forces in my head on this one, so I am not sure if there can even be any force acting on the plane to counter the force of the thrust, but I don't know that it is impossible. I was assuming it was possible since I was reading it as a given.
