No. The movement of air over the wings does it. No movement = no lift = it will not take off.

The engines push the plane through the air until lift is achieved. When a plane taxis on a runway, it uses its engines pushing against the air to make it move. The wheels just follow the plane along.

No, read the question:
The plane cannot move against the air, at all.

Forget the wheels. The plane needs to move against the air to generate lift, to take off. It can't move against the air, so it can't take off.

OK, OK I'm convinced.

Which makes me a worse job candidate, except that I have the ideal answer to all such interview questions:

Oh, I've already heard that one.

That is, unless you want to use a constructed answer. The answer to why manholes are round? Because men are round. Duh.

"What would you do for a Klondike bar?"
I'm sorry, but I can't discuss salary during a first interview.

Sure, all it would need is a wind blowing at the front of the plane, that is strong enough to create lift.

Spexxvet "gets it"
 

The plane pushes against the air, right?

Picture a different scene. You are in a canoe in a raging river, but you have a pole, and you are using it to push your way up the river. The water is going past the canoe at a very high speed, but since you aren't pushing against the water, this doesn't matter. You push against the ground with a pole.

Here, the plane isn't pushing against the runway, it's pushing against the air. The runway doesn't matter.

It would not take off.

not the speed that the tries rotate. The plane will not move forward, cannot take off.

No, picture the scene we're talking about: a plane hopping right into the air, straight off the ground. (Commercial jetliners are not designed to do this!) And then say to yourself "oh, gee, what an incredible dumbass I was for even entertaining the fact that this might be possible" . . .

And the "pushing" doesn't matter, either. Only the forward motion does. There is no forward motion according to the question.

You're messing with me now, aren't you? You know it takes off, but you are playing devil's advocate just to keep the argument going.

The question doesn't say that.;)

:D

ok... the pilot 'spins' up the runway to about 150 mph, quickly turns around 180 deg. and 'rides' the runway with enough speed for lift!
