Try this MagicHef.

Take a pen and a roll of tape, or a toilet paper roll.

Put the roll over the pencil. Do not spin the roll.

Move the pencil from your left to right. Thats your static speed.

Now bring the pencil back to the left, spin the roll. Thats your rotating speed.

Now do both at the same time. The rotating speed doesn't affect the static speed because there is an outside force moving it (your arm).

This is the same w/ the rotating speed of the wheels. While they are spinning, there is an outside force (the jets or propellers) pushing the plane forward.

Thats the difference between static and rotating speeds (combined with an outside force), and whether or not they affect the plane moving.

Of course, I'm no expert.
