Type your answer here... takeoff. That is when the plane is accelerating and leaving the ground. Wouldn't you think that you would be going slower when you're trying to stop.

Which one is higher landing speed or take off speed of an aircraft?
landing
What is the plane that can start with a vertical liftoff then switch to level flight called?
VSTOL = Vertical or Short Take Off and Landing aircraft. Whereas a STOL aircraft is a Short Take Off and Landing Aircraft. Maybe there is a term VTOL just for Vertical Take Off and Landing.
How can a harrier aircraft take off vertically?
VSTOL: verticle or short take of and landing
How far from an airport should aircraft wheels be down?
The wheels along with the system is called Landing Gear. The Landing Gear can be retracted soon after take-off. Stationary landing gears slow the aircraft down.
Can aircraft Antonov 72 take passenger?
Yes, but it is not designed to. ----
Explain aircraft landing gear systems?
It is the system of wheels that opens before an airplane lands and closes after take off. The system also supports the aircraft while on the ground, taxiing or landing.
What aircraft can hover?
Probably any helicopter or VTOL (Vertical Take-Off and Landing) aircraft. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VTOL
What is a roller landing of the aircraft?
There is no term as a roller landing, however there is a term "roller" being replaced by "touch and go". This is where an aircraft comes into land but instead of stopping on the runway, it takes off again. This simulates a landing and a take off all in one maneuver.
What is speed of airplane at take off and landing?

What is landing gear for a plane?
The landing gear of an aircraft are the fixtures on which the aircraft taxi's, take's off and lands and can be in the form of wheels, or pontoons (on float planes for water take-off and landing).The undercarriage of an aircraft can also be fixed or retractable. Large commercial aircraft such as a Boeing 747 for example will have retractable undercarriage, creating a far more aerodynamic airflow over the fuselage. On a much smaller scale, some aircraft such as Cessna 172's have been manufactured in both fixed and retractable gear "RG" models. Generally the very light aircraft will have fixed landing gear.AnswerThe primary role of the landing gear is to absorb the shock of landing the airplane as it comes in contact with the ground. It is designed as a shock attenuation device. It absorbs the shock and slows the vertical drop of the airplane.
Do planes take off quick?
Most aircraft passenger jets take off at 138 knots
What is the maximum tempo or rate of landings and take offs on an aircraft carrier?
