Depends on how strong the wind is, how long the runway is, how heavily loaded the plane is etc - but generally, yes.
What gets a regular airplane off the ground is how fast it's moving through the air. If the air is moving with the plane - as in a tailwind - it takes longer/more runway for the plane to reach the airspeed needed to fly.

Do airplanes always take off into wind?
Mostly they do, not always. It is more efficient to take off into wind.
Do airplanes take off against the wind?
Yes, airplanes always fly into the wind. It decreases the length required to takeoff because the net airspeed over the wings is higher. Logistically though, sometimes airports won't swap directions for a wind speed that's relatively small.
Why do airplanes takeoff?
There is not much point in having airplanes unless they 'take off' .
Can airplanes take off in snow?
yes
Why do airplanes need so much speed to take off?
Airplanes need a lot of speed to take off because they are not designed for vertical takeoff and are to heavy to do so.
How do you spell the action that airplanes do?
Airplanes take off, climb fly, cruise, transport, descend, and land.
Where do airoplanes land and take off?
Airplanes land and take of at airports you dufus
What are airplanes that take off in water called?
seaplane aquaplane
Can airplanes take off in rain?
Yes. Although a certain amount of drag is introduced when airplanes are flying in the rain, this is minimal and has very little effect on the handling of the aircraft. Airplanes can take off, fly, and land in the rain in perfect safety.
What can helicopters do that airplanes cannot?
1. Hover. 2. Take-off and land vertically. Although there are airplanes (such as the Harrier) which can do these things.
What force must airplanes overcome to take-off?
Weight and Drag
What is the theme in Cast Away?
