It depends on the airplane. A Boeing 747 needs to go 160 knots before you can take off in it; a Cessna 172 needs to go 55 knots to take off.

What is the speed of a plane on runway?

An airplane usually goes at 150mph-200mph on a runway


What type of energy does a plane landing on the runway have?

When a plane is landing on the runway, it primarily has kinetic energy. As the aircraft descends, its potential energy decreases but is converted into kinetic energy as it gains speed. The kinetic energy is then used for braking and stopping the plane on the runway.


A jet plane rapidly accelerates on the runway?

As the jet plane rapidly accelerates on the runway, the engines produce thrust that propels the plane forward. The forward motion creates lift on the wings, allowing the plane to become airborne once a certain speed is reached and the lift overcomes gravity. The acceleration continues until the plane reaches its desired takeoff speed.


What happens to the plane's air speed when the throttle is opened wide?

When the throttle is opened wide, it accelerates down the runway.


Why must the aeroplane run on the runway before taking off?

Take a 75-300 ton plane, planes need to take off by running on a runway because to take off the plane needs preasure under it's wing so that the preasure can lift the plane up in the sky. The runway has to be atleast 2KM long so that the plane has time to reach it's appropriate speed to take off. people have tried and tried but always failed trying to make a 70-300 ton plane fly just by using a (underbody thruster engine), only one plane succeeded the the or project and that plane was the "harier."


What energy transformation occurs when a jet plane rapidly accelerates on the runway?

When a jet plane accelerates on the runway, the engines convert chemical energy from fuel into kinetic energy of motion. This kinetic energy increases as the plane gains speed, allowing it to overcome inertia and take off into the air.


Is the flight departure time when the plane actually takes off or when it starts to taxi to the runway?

The departure actually take off when it taxi's the runway so you have enough speed to lift off.


What carries a plane to the runway?

No one actually "carries" a plane to the runway or to the "takeoff zone". But there are those men who wear ear plugs and glasses and also look so microscopic and they conduct the planes to the runway.


What is the runway speed of a hydraulic turbine?

Runway speed is the speed at full opening of guide vanes at nominal head and no load on Generator


How much runway length does a Cessna need to land?

Cessna is a small plane and it has less speed also. So 1 km is enough to land.


When does a plane deploy its landing gear?

The plane's landing gear is deployed as the plane is descending and nearing the runway.


What happens to a plane when it takes of at the end of the runway?

It flys
