There is ZERO power being put directly to the wheels. They just spin. In fact, the plane can take off while the wheels are actually spinning backwards due to the fact that the wheels have no effect on propultion.

Ever wondered why no one has ever seen a jet on a dyno?

I also used the Harrier reference because there are two forces at work there. First it uses downword thrust to achieve lift, and then forward propultion to achieve speed.

Try to imagine a hovering Harrier. It is hovering in mid air and then when maximum thrust is applied to forward motion it reaches speed and is no longer reliant on downword thrust to defy gravity. But by "floating" it is eliminating the need for a runway, thus no need for wheels. Yet, from a standing start, mid air, it is able to achieve flight.
