Look at it this way:
A plane is sitting on a treadmill
The wheels are free to spin.
The plane's propeller is not moving (so it has no forward thrust).
The treadmill begins to move in the direction opposite the plane's normal direction (forward).
In that scenario (and assuming a lack of friction), what would happen to the plane?
