This is the correct and only answer.

All wheels on aircraft free spin. There is no direct link to the engine since there is no transmission.

They actually did it on Mythbusters and the plane flew.

But what if the plane was on the moon? Could it still take off if the freezer was full?

Would a snake on a conveyor belt take off?

What about a plane with a conveyor belt full of snakes in freezers on the moon?

Would the snakes still be cold, or would it just be a bunch of warm snakes wondering why the Government put them in a plane with freezers at a Top Secret moon replica facility, with a giant conveyor belt?

The answer is:

Fidel Castro.

It has to be.

Tie a string to a toy car on a treadmill that's going 200mph in reverse, do you have to pull 200mph on the string to move it? Or will the slightest nudge cause it to move forward?
