Incorrect. The plane must make forward progress through the air, not on the runway


And tell me how this "forward progress through the air" is going to occur with a stationary plane and no wind?

I know what you're thinking....you're thinking that thrust is being generated and the plane must move somewhere right? Wrong. Gravity is pulling downward on the plane. Until it has the groundspeed to get some enough lift, it cannot take off. It cannot get groundspeed if stationary. Hence the infinite wheel speed problem.
