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.

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 happens when an airplane takes off against the wind?

It then produces lift due to wing configuration and can take off


What principle governs the take off of a flight?

For an airplane taking off I believe that would be a combination of Bernoulli's principle and ground effect.


How does airplane works?

As an airplane moves forward a vacuum forms on top of the wing. That vacuum lifts the airplane off the ground and into the air.


Does an airplane take off into the wind or with the wind?

If conditions (airport layout and traffic conditions) allow aircraft take off and land against the wind (headwind). This way the aircraft can take off or approach the runway at a lower ground speed.


Is take off an idiom?

Can you figure out the meaning by defining the terms literally? No, so it is an idiom. Literally, it means to remove something, but figuratively it means for an airplane to get off the ground.

Yes, you can typically take your phone off airplane mode once the plane has taken off.


Where did Shakespeare theater take off?

It was not an airplane, and thus could not take off.


How long does it take an airplane to get off the ground?

Depends on the aircraft, and the velocity of the air over the wings that produces enough lift to get the aircraft into the air. For aircraft that are STOL capable (Short Take Off and Landing) this time will be short, but ultimately it depends on the wind conditions, and the thrust of the aircraft. VTOL (Vertical Take Off and Landing) aircraft can take off instantaneously. There are too many variables to give a short answer, as stated above, but as an example, a fully loaded modern day commercial airliner like the Boeing 767-400 might have a take-off run of 9000' to 9500' before the main landing gear actually lifted off the ground.


How does an airplane get off the ground during take off?

Long answer, but it is basically the creation of negative space through the shape of the wing and the speed, the plane is then forced upward into the negative space. boo


Is the airplane go slow can it take off?

no it cannot take off if it is going slow
