If the engines can PULL enough wind over the wings surface it will achieve lift even without the plane appearing to move forward to a bystander viewing.



I’m in flight training right now

One time we encountered 55kt winds at 1000’. Pointed the nose into the wind and “hovered” over Port Allen literally staying stationary with the engine nearly idled.

It was a really cool demonstration that all you need for lift is air moving across the wing no matter the source

A plane can and will take off from a conveyor.
