Default Re: think about this...

It is possible to apply a force via the wheels and have the wheels move at the same speed as the runway. (think of getting a smog check and how they test your car)

It is not theoretically possible to apply a force from the jet engine and have the wheels move at the same speed as the runway. The wheels will speed up, no MATTER how fast you make the runway, the wheels will move at that speed plus more, thanks to the force from the jet.

This makes no sense, and I'm really starting to think you're just a troll. If the airplane is moving relative to the control tower at a speed +V, and the runway is moving at the same speed +V relative to the tower, the wheels aren't moving because in the frame of the wheels, the runway is stationary.
