NO. it's sitting there with the wheels spinning. now, stick your hand out the window. is there wind shooting over it like if you were on the highway? NO. so what makes you think there will be wind going over the wings of a plane?
Your digging an even deeper hole. Because the power of the vehicle is coming from the wheels....do you not think i can walk up the back off the car and push it forward (or even pull it backwards) off the dyno as it's spinning 100mph? The force i'm using to move the car is no differant that the engine of a plane.
