No. An aircraft takes off and lands into the wind. (Or as close as possible to directly into the wind).

Does an airplane take off into the wind or with the wind?
If conditions (airport layout and traffic conditions) allow aircraft take off and land against the wind (headwind). This way the aircraft can take off or approach the runway at a lower ground speed.
Wind required for airplane to take off?
Yes a head wind and flaps set to mid for wing configuration
What happens when an airplane takes off against the wind?
It then produces lift due to wing configuration and can take off
What wind do you takeoff into?
If it can be helped always land and take off into the wind (wind in your face)
What is a wind flap?
An airplane flap extends the wing area during take-off and landing, to give extra lift at low speed. This allows the airplane to take-off and land at reasonably low speeds (around 150mph for most jet airliners).
How do flaps on a paper airplane affect flight?
It allows it to take off and land
How much is too wind for an airplane to take off?
Depends on the airplane. Every aircraft has different specific guidelines for altitude, velocity, max wind speed and weight, as well as many other limitations.
WhATshuttle space vehicle can orbit the earth and take off and land like an airplane?
Space Shuttle
How does wind effect airplane take off and landings?
Aircraft always try to take off and land INTO the wind, as the effect of the wind flowing over the surface of the wing increases lift and therefore reduces the speed necessary to perform a take-off/landing. For example, if an airliner has a computed take-off speed of 130knots, but there is a 10knot wind blowing directly at the aircraft during the take-off roll, the airliner only needs to achieve 120knots as the 10knot wind provides the extra to reach the required 130. Of course it is rare that the wind will be blowing in the exact same direction as the alignment of the runway, which is why major airports have several runways, pointing in different directions. If there is just a single runway, aircraft may have to land or take-off in cross-wind directions. This can affect the control of the aircraft but safety dictates the maximum amount of cross-wind before it is deemed unsafe to land - usually in excess of 40knots.
Can an airplane that lands on water land on ground?
Amphibious airplanes can take off and land on water or land. They are fixed-wing seaplanes that are equipped with retractable wheels.Amphibious helicopters are modified helicopters that can take off and land on either water or land. They are invaluable for rescue work on the water.
Why do they change the direction of take off at gatwick?
In general and not specifically Heathrow aircraft takeoff into the wind, this helps reduce the four flight problems of weight, drag, thrust and lift. I hope this answer helped
What is Landspeed of a airplane at take off?
This varies greatly from airplane to airplane, as well as according to ground wind conditions. Keep in mind that landspeed does not matter to an airplane nearly as much as AIRspeed. For example, your typical 4-seater single engine airplane takes off at around 60mph airspeed. Given a 20mph headwind, this aircraft could take off at 40mph GROUND speed. If you are interested in how fast the ground is wizzing by when youre looking out the window of the airliner. Most airliners take off at around 150 to 180 mph AIRspeed.
