re: Does a plane achieve lift by pushing a wing through the air or by pulling air over a wing?

They did this on mythbusters a while back. The planes wheels dont "drive" theyre free rolling so the fact the ground is moving backwards in relation to the thrust only means the wheels would spin faster than the plane is travelling. kind of like small planes at an airfield are strapped down because a wind gust will pick them up regardless of if theyre moving or not.
