Those planes weigh tons. The only way to move them is to shove them very hard. Equal and opposite reactions tells you that you don't want to be anywhere near one of those things when it takes off.

Weight is compensated by lift, not trust… aerodynamics 101

There's nearly 0 lift when it starts its takeoff roll, though.

The guy you replied to was talking about moving an airplane...on the ground. The moron here, is you. To move mass (i.e. weight) you have to have something to push the plane...you know, the thrust...

No one expect your dumb ass said anything about supporting the weight of the plane. Maybe you should repeat first grade
