The chemical energy in the fuel flows to the engines, which combine the carbon and hydrogen in the fuel with oxygen from the air, to produce heat, carbon dioxide and steam. The heat produces kinetic energy in the hot exhaust gases which leave the engine at high speed. The reaction drives the plane forward and it accelerates, gathering kinetic energy. After takeoff the aircraft rises and gathers potential energy as well as kinetic energy.
A Boeing 737-800 with a mass of 85 tons flying at 35,000 ft has a potential energy of 9 Gigajoules. Flying at 400 kt its kinetic energy is 1.8 Gj.

What type of energy does a plane have taking off?
If the plane is taking off it will be moving which is kinetic energy... hope this helps
How much energy did it take for the plane to take off?
Depends on the plane
Does a plane go fast when taking off?
Yes. A plane goes very fast when taking off. For example, A Boeing's takeoff speed is 280 kph.
How does a plane relate to gravitational potential energy?
A plane in the air posseses gravitational potential energy or stored energy. If the pilot shuts the engine off the plane releases that energy.
What is the Spanish translation for take off in the sense of a plane taking off?
despegar
Is a plane taking off an example of projectile motion?
Yes
What type of energy does an airplane taking off have?
kinetic energy
Is a football crowd louder than a plane taking off?
Nahh
A plane taking off is a negative acceleration?
A plane landing is a negative acceleration - "negative" meaning it slows down.
Why aeroplane need more energy when taking off and landing than cruising?
Taking off requires acceleration to a sufficient speed for the plane to be lifted by the air; acceleration takes a lot of energy, maintaining speed takes less energy. Landing is complex because the plane has to maneuver into exactly the right position and speed in order to land on the landing strip, so that also consumes energy. In principle, if you could land anywhere at any speed (for example, if you were crashing into the ocean) that doesn't require any energy because gravity does it for you. But that's not how planes normally land.
What is the fastest landing or takeoff of a plane?
When a plane is taking off it should go at a speed at 160 knots before reaching into the air..
Can buy a plane ticket on run after taking off house arrest bracelet?
