Also, what is so physically impossible about stopping a jet with landing gear friction? I would wager that the friction of even a single 747's landing gear assembly can stop the thrust of my model rocket's engine, even without a treadmill. If you don't dispute that, the question becomes if the friction scales with speed, which should be clear.
