the airplane needs inertia in order to acheive lift.
wankerbez stated a sort of wheel-brake equation; ie. imagine the airplane with engines at full power on the runway with its brakes on, no lift would be acheived.
as soon as the brakes were released, the fuselage would need to reach a forward momentum to gain inertia, then lift would be acheived. the plane simply would not lift immediately after the brakes were released.
imagine running on a treadmill at full speed and jumping off to one side, you would simply jump off to the side. now imagine running down the street at full speed, and jumping to the side, you would have tremendous inertia, and probably eat shit.
