Think of it this way. When you take your car to dyno or to emission. They have you wheels rolling on the "thing". Yes, your speed increases but you don't feel any air movement, why? because your X,Z,Y Postion doesn't change. So, what good will it do to the plane?

But thats because the engine is directly connected to the wheels. In a plane, the wheels gets no power at all.
