the belt CAN NOT affect the thrust of the turbines. they do not interact with eachother at all, not even indirectly.

the best possible example I could give you would be waterskiing from a helicopter. you can go against the flow of water and guess what, you're moving forward. the thrust of the helicopter is not affected by the direction of the water. the skis are like the wheels on the plane, they merely ride along the surface.
