  • But the airplane has a verifiable answer. If the starting force is applied to the wheels, which push off the ground, then the airplane will remain stationary. But if it uses jet engines or props, which push off the air, then the plane will move forward.

    Funnily enough, if the wind speed is the same and opposite as the speed of the props/engine, then the plane will remain stationary horizontally. That being said, it’s wings would still generate lift, so the plane would start to raise while remaining in the same spot.
