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.

Does an airplane take off and land with the wind?
No. An aircraft takes off and lands into the wind. (Or as close as possible to directly into the wind).
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
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.
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.
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).
When wind is blowing in a direction to cause an airplane to drift off course it is known as a what?
That is a 'crosswind'.
Where did Shakespeare theater take off?
It was not an airplane, and thus could not take off.
Is the airplane go slow can it take off?
no it cannot take off if it is going slow
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.
Do airplanes always take off into wind?
Mostly they do, not always. It is more efficient to take off into wind.
How long does it take a small airplane to take off?
Usually about a minute.
