No, this is exactly the mistake I have pointed out.
Money ISN'T the fuel of the economy. It is used as such by central banks (with the catastrophic consequences that we know), but it's not.
The fuel of the economy is the sum of goods and services PRODUCED.
Indeed, you can have an economy without money, based on barter. It would be highly inefficient, but it would work.
You don't have an economy with just money and no production.
Ask Zimbabwe. They know.
Money is a product aka a consequence of an economy.
To take your plane analogy, if the economy is the plane, production is its fuel, and money is the CO2 that results from burned fuel.
