It's got feck all to do with wheels!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Alright, here's a thing that will make me change my mind. Show me, by means of a diagram, how the thtust from a turbine (be it jet or prop) is transmitted to the wheels of the plane to create forward motion on the runway.
Then, once you've done that, explain to me how the thrust, or power, or drive, whatever you want to call it, is transferred from the wheels back to the air at the point of take off. Because that's how a plane flies, by pushing its self through the air using the thrust from its engines. The movement through the air and the shape of the wings is what creates the lift, not the rotational speed of its wheels.
