It's not keeping it from moving and it never will, hence the fact that it doesn't matter. The speed is coming from the fact that the plane or jet IS freakin moving. That is what makes this whole arguement so difficult to grasp for some people. The belt cannot effect the plane one way or another because it only effects the wheels and they have nothing to do with the plane because it doesn't use wheels for power.
