Not all need a long runway. The take off length depends on a number of factored such as weather wind speed, weight of aircraft, power of engines.


Flaps position during take off?

it depends on what type of aircraft your flying, the runway length, and the weather. here are two common aircraft flap settings for standard takeoff use: Boeing 737: set flaps to 5 cessna 172: set flaps to 10 these are two common flap settings for the Boeing 737 and cessna 172. remember, different aircraft have differnet flap settings based on weather and runway length.

Why can't a space shuttle use a runway like a plane?

For takeoff, it requires so much thrust to get it off the ground that if it used a regular runway, it would need something like 5 miles behind it to avoid damage. So they make it take off vertically to avoid that. A space shuttle lands on a regular (but slightly longer) runway just like a plane.
