What angle does an airplane take off at?

This varies depending on the design of the airplane, the weight of the airplane, and the weather conditions encountered during the takeoff, but is typically from 9 - 20 degrees nose up for jets.

Do large planes need to take off at smaller or greater degree then the smaller planes?
It all depends on how much power is in the engines that can
enable an airplane to take off at a steeper or shallower angle.
Airplanes used for air shows and fighter jets are able to take off
at a steep angle. Bush planes can also take off at a steep angle. A
heavily loaded Air Bus, on the other hand, needs more clearance to
be able to take to the air and thus may take off at a more
shallower angle than a typical CF-18 Hornet would!

Where did Shakespeare theater take off?
It was not an airplane, and thus could not take off.

How do you know how and when to take off on a airplane?
each plane has a set take off speed , flap position and weight
for take off

Asked in Flight Times
How long does it take for an airplane to take off?
Depends on the size and type of the airplane. I wonder that it
takes about four minutes for a Boeing 747-8.
Asked in Air Travel
How fast does an airplane go before take off?
Usually about 45 minutes or closer to an hour :)
Improved: There are factors that alter the answer due to a)
weight of airplane, b) size of airplane, and c) current weather
conditions affecting take-off.

What happens when an airplane takes off against the wind?
It then produces lift due to wing configuration and can take
off
Asked in Airplanes and Aircraft, Mechanical Engineering
What is an airplane 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 big are Airplane?
The biggest airplane now can carry over 800 passengers and
weighs over a million pounds at take-off.
Asked in Airplanes and Aircraft
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 the weight of an airplane during take off?
The total of the plane, cargo and fuel.

Asked in Mobile Phones, Air Travel
Can you take a cell phone on an airplane?
Yes you can take it on an airplane but you have to keep it
switched off.
You can use your phone only during take off and during landing.
During the flight itself, you are not allowed to use your cell
phone.
Yes, but they usually ask you to turn them off during at least take
off and landing (possibly the rest of the flight, I can't
remember).
Asked in Helicopters
How would elevaters help on an airplane?
Elevators help an airplane rise and descend by tilting its angle
of flight.
Asked in Airplanes and Aircraft
What speed does an airplane take off?
Depends on the aircraft, can be anywhere from 40 to 160 mph.
Asked in Airplanes and Aircraft
How does an airplane take off the ground?
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.
Asked in Airplanes and Aircraft, US Navy
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).
Asked in Physics, Mechanics, Flight Paths
Wind required for airplane to take off?
Yes a head wind and flaps set to mid for wing configuration
