If you think of an automobile which relies on what I would refer to as being a friction based propulsion, sure, a conveyor belt turning against the wheels would hold it back
Planes, they use thrust to propel them down the runway and to begin generating some lift
Meanwhile they take to the air and the thrust is then propelling forward the plane which then is in turn creating lift by forcing air over the wings
That's why you stall a plane if you're driving it too slow
