It all helps. If a 747 takes off into a 40mph head wind its take off speed will be reduced from 180mph to 140 mph. Pilots much prefer the headwind as it allows them to take off much sooner

Wind required for airplane to take off?
Yes a head wind and flaps set to mid for wing configuration
Does a plane takeoff into the wind?
it helps generally to take off into the wind because it gives the plane more lift
Can airplanes take off with the wind?
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.
Why flight time from New York to Paris less than flight time from Paris to New York?
This time difference is caused by the Jet Stream. Flying East the Jet stream gives a strong tail wind. Flying East to West there is a strong head wind. This slows down plane flights considerably.

How strong of a head wind can a decagon withstand?
A decagon, if etched into a flat metal plate, for example, can withstand a head wind of any strength - as long as it does not lift the plate off.
How long does it take to travel 60 miles in a plane?
Well, simply stated if the plane was going 120 mph then it would take 30 minutes. (If it had a tail wind it would acutally go alittle faster or with a head wind a little slower.) Rate * Time = Distance or Rate = Distance divided by Time This formula will give you the different answers for different speeds. Good luck.
Why is an airstrip parallel to prevailing wind direction?
It is because if the plane get a head wind then it will gain extra lift but will go slower, if u get a tail wind you go faster but get less lift Hope it helps :D
How many ways can a plane take off?
any way as long as the wind is facing towards it ...
How does wind help a paper plane fly?
The wind pushes the plane helping it stay in the air.
What is the velocity of a plane flying 855 km per hour with a head wind of 70 km per hour?
