he engine is accelerared and the airplane moves down the runway gaining sped. When speed is high enough, 'lift' is created around the wings and it lifts off the ground.

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 happens when an airplane takes off against the wind?

It then produces lift due to wing configuration and can take off


What principle governs the take off of a flight?

For an airplane taking off I believe that would be a combination of Bernoulli's principle and ground effect.


How does airplane works?

As an airplane moves forward a vacuum forms on top of the wing. That vacuum lifts the airplane off the ground and into the air.


Is take off an idiom?

Can you figure out the meaning by defining the terms literally? No, so it is an idiom. Literally, it means to remove something, but figuratively it means for an airplane to get off the ground.


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.


How would a person survive an earthquake?

Get off the ground. i.e. In an Airplane.


Where did Shakespeare theater take off?

It was not an airplane, and thus could not take off.


How does an airplane get off the ground during take off?

Long answer, but it is basically the creation of negative space through the shape of the wing and the speed, the plane is then forced upward into the negative space. boo


Is the airplane go slow can it take off?

no it cannot take off if it is going slow


How does an airplane take off?

Moving forward, air rushing over the wings causes them to produce lift. When the amount of lift created is greater than the weight of the plane it will rise off the ground.


How much lift does it take for an airplane to get off the ground?

In order to lift off the ground, the lift force (the upward force generated by the wings) has to be at least as great as the weight of the aircraft. Lift and weight are opposing forces and are equal in straight and level flight.
