OK, here's a variant: Put wheels on a rocket (say, a Saturn V) and a veryical conveyer belt- will it go up?
Of course it will. So will the airplane. The force of the propulsor (propeller, jet engine, rocket engine) is what moves the plane - wheels are irrelevant to flight (ever hear of a ski plane, or a PBY?)
