Picture a bike on one of those moving things in the airport. If you stand off of the moving tread, and hold on to the bike while walking forward at the same speed the tread is moving backward, the bike will move forward. The wheels will now be spinning twice as fast, but the bike will be moving as fast in the opposite dirsction as the tread. In the plane example, the forward thrust of the engines = you holding onto the bike. The plane will move forward, ever faster.
