Best Answer

Airplanes need a lot of speed to take off because they are not designed for vertical takeoff and are to heavy to do so.

Why do airplanes takeoff?

There is not much point in having airplanes unless they 'take off' .


Why do airplanes need a long runway for landing and takeoff?

Not all need a long runway. The take off length depends on a number of factored such as weather wind speed, weight of aircraft, power of engines.


How much time would it take an airplane to reach its destination if it traveled at an average speed of 790 kilometers hour for a distance of 4700 kilometers what is the airplanes speed in miles hour?

5530/790=7 hours


How do airplanes take flight?

They increase speed until the wings gain 'lift' from the air flowing over them.


How do airplanes takeoff?

Airplanes need to generate lift in order to take off and fly. The way they do this is to go fast enough on the ground so that the air passing over the wings generates lift in accordance with Bernoulli's principle. When sufficient speed is attained to generate the necessary lift, the plane will fly.


Why were catapult airplanes made?

Catapults were used to raise the take-off speed. Big fighters could not take off in very short distances without them.

Take off without flaps?

Yes, it IS possible for most airplanes to take off without using flaps, but it is usually not done because airplane would need a longer runway or more speed before the wings could create enough lift to get off the ground.


100 miles is how many hours?

You need to know the speed, to see how long it will take you to travel that distance. Once you know the speed, divide the distance by the speed, to get the time.You need to know the speed, to see how long it will take you to travel that distance.
