What moves the wheels? (regardless of whether they are free spinning)
The plane's motion through SPACE (both on the ground and through AIR) sets the wheels in motion.[/b]
But it's not moving through the space. The air is moving at the same speed as the plane - relative to the conveyor belt.
What moves?
Conveyor belt Wheels
What does NOT move?
Ground Air
Since the air is not moving, it cannot provide lift to overcome the downward force of gravity.
