Thrust is going to overcome drag and move the airplane forward.

Not in my Cherokee.


Sure it will!

If we can have a treadmill the size of a runway, and [which is] able to
sense the rotation of the airplane's wheels; then we can require it to be
both frictionless and inertia-free.

Whell Hell, if that's the case, 'my' Cherokee runs on H2O!
