The motion would only be counteracted if the plane were driven by the wheels, this has been said numerous times, other people have realized its true, i dunno why some of you are still so stubborn. your car example does not work because the car is driven by the wheels.
some people can be easily persuaded to believe anything. havent you ever heard of propoganda?

why does it matter what drives the plane? velocity is velocity no matter what force is acting upon the object to get it up to speed. any speed will be counteracted with an equal and opposite accleration of the belt.

btw- congrads on the new car martin!
