if the car wwas on a treadmill it would go no where. again as the power generated by the motor is applied through the wheels. on a airplane its not, the turbines create the thrust 100% independent from the wheels which is the only point of contact to the treadmill and normally free moving. Unless the pilot has the brakes on the airplane applied.
