    No. The force from the engines goes to the plane in total.

    The only given is that both surfaces are moving at the same speed, in opposite directions.

    To reiterate my last post, to exert enough force on the plane to keep it stationary, the belt must be moving faster than the plane.

    Again, this is based on the question, only, no other conditions given.

    If the plane were driven by its wheels, it will remain stationary. But it's not. That's all.
