NO! This is not possible because the speed of the trake and wheels (which usually are not powered, it's the engine that pulls the plane if I am not wrong. But lets go with the example) will cancel out and the airplane will stay in place. Airplanes have airfoils, where high pressure builds on the bottom and low pressure on the top as air passes by. This creates lift, but how can the airplane lift if there is no air moving across the wings? The answer is it can't! In this sitution it can't.
