So if you secured 4 of these rebar perpendicular to the direction of the plane and tied a strong rope from plane to rebar, the result would be the plane couldn’t move and the rebar wouldn’t break or bend?

No, I assumed the rebar is orientated as the 'strong rope'.

If the rebar were positioned as you say, they would yield/bend quite easily.

That's pretty cool!

The article says 105,000lb.

You're right, it was the GE-90 that produced 115k. Rest assured, however, that the quantity of #9 rebars remains unchanged.
