it helps generally to take off into the wind because it gives the plane more lift

Speed of plane at the time of takeoff?
Depends on the type, size of the plane. Takeoff speed for most small, single-engine aircraft is approximately 80mph, but this can be adjusted by the pilot for short takeoffs, wind conditions, etc.
How does a plane takeoff?
A plane has to takeoff in the direction in which wind is blowing so that the airplane can get help when taking off at a speed of 160 knots. So for example you are going to California and the wind is blowing from Europe, you would have to takeoff from runway 13R if your at JFK and you would make a sharp left turn heading to the west into the wind and climb at an altitude of 36,000 feet and cruise at a speed of about 500 knots so you can get to California in about 6 hours and 20 minutes. I hope I answered your question.
When a plane takes off why can't another one take off immediately?
The first plane can create wind vortices that can create turbulence for the next planes takeoff resulting in possible loss of control.
What wind do you takeoff into?
If it can be helped always land and take off into the wind (wind in your face)
How do you use takeoff in a sentence?
Example from a pilot speaking inside a plane: This is American Airways 3953 we are ready for take off over.
How does wind effect airplane take off?
the airoplane is set in a persific path (runway) and has a lot of air resistance to keep it in the air so any wind can effect take off Wind blowing at the plane increases the lift of the wingswhich enables to the plane to become airborne at slower ground speed. A tail wind has the opposite effect. Crosswinds make level takeoff more difficult.
How many decibels is on a jet plane?
a jet plane at a takeoff at 100 yards is 120 dB loud
Why is it safer to travel into the wind than in a crosswind in a plane?
During normal flying their is no difference in safety, but during landing and takeoff in a cross wind there is inherently more danger. During takeoff and landing the aircraft speed is slower, often at or nearly at the stall speed. At these speeds the control surfaces are much less effective (ailerons on the wings, rudder on the tail and the elevators) so the plane respondes slower, more sluggishly. The cross wind tends to push the plane to the side and as long the wind is steady its not much of a problem as the plane is aligned with the runway before it loses too much speed. The real problem is when the wind gusts or changes dramatically, then the plane is a bit slow to repond - if a pilot is careful its not a real problem since if the plane is blown too far off thay can do a go around - most of the time it's only a problem with inexperienced pilots or pilots who are not paying attention or panic.
How high are planes 2 minutes after takeoff?
Depends on the type of plane you are talking about.
Car sounds like a plane?
Yes, a B777 plane sounds EXACTLY like a racing car during takeoff!!
Why do airplanes appear to slow down after takeoff?
As the distance between the viewer and the plane increases the Plane appears to slow down.
Which way does a plane take off?
what ever way it needs go......... luv yooh Updated answer if required: Aircraft generally takeoff into the wind to help with the four fundamentals of flight, wieght, drag, thrust then lift.
