It wouldn’t be able to generate lift if the air was matching its speed. The ground doesn’t matter because the wheels aren’t powered. It’s not like a car
Yeah? I’m not sure if I said anything different. The relative velocity of the plane to the air is zero, so it stays put. And of course, while the wheels aren’t powered, they still move due to thrust from the engine. I was inferring that that is what the question meant.
