the thrust is coming from the body of the plane. the wheels begin to roll, and the belt starts to roll the opposite direction. If the wheels were driving the plane (like a car) that would be direct opposition to thrust. the only way to directly oppose the thrust of the plane would be to put the nose of it up against a wall or find some other way to restrain it.

you are still failing to tell me how the airplane will gain enough speed, it MUST roll forward to gain speed, and it will not.
