    it would if you sat on a turbine engine with wheels on it... =)

    If you put a plane on a conveyor belt with a string attached. Pull the plane forward... what happens to the wheels as the conveyor tries to go faster. they go faster. The only way to negate the pull of the string forward is to have something pulling it in the opposite direction. Freewheeling wheels do not achieve this.
