Since the only person actually willing to explain anything is Walter, and I am actually trying to understand the kinetics here, I will address the questions to walter.

Walter, is the following assumption correct?

wheelspeed \> conveyor speed; plane will move forward  
 **wheelspeed = conveyor speed; plane stands still**  
wheelspeed \< conveyor speed; plane moves backwards

The myth here is the 2nd one you listed, which for right now is correct…until you blast the jet engines. You can match the wheel speed all you want, but the engines are going to propel the plane forward no matter what.
