  2. Takeoff - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Takeoff

    A headwind will reduce the ground speed needed for takeoff, as there is a greater flow of air over the wings. Typical takeoff air speeds for jetliners are in the range of 240–285 km/h (130–154 kn; 149–177 mph). Light aircraft, such as a Cessna 150, take off at around 100 km/h (54 kn; 62 mph). Ultralights have even lower takeoff speeds.

  3. Balanced field takeoff - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balanced_field_takeoff

    The speed will ensure the aircraft achieves the required height above the takeoff surface within the takeoff distance. [ citation needed ] To achieve a balanced field takeoff, V 1 is selected so the take-off distance with one engine inoperative, and the accelerate-stop distance, are equal. [ 1 ]

  4. V speeds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V_speeds

    Minimum takeoff safety speed. [7] [8] [9] V 3: Flap retraction speed. [8] [9] V 4: Steady initial climb speed. The all engines operating take-off climb speed used to the point where acceleration to flap retraction speed is initiated. Should be attained by a gross height of 400 ft (120 m). [10] V A: Design maneuvering speed. This is the speed ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft_flight_dynamics

    Turn at constant speed Approach and landing Takeoff. The speed, height and trim angle of attack are different for each flight condition, in addition, the aircraft will be configured differently, e.g. at low speed flaps may be deployed and the undercarriage may be down.

  6. Angle of climb - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angle_of_Climb

    This is important for clearing an obstacle, and therefore is the speed a pilot uses when executing a "short field" takeoff. V X increases with altitude, and V Y decreases with altitude until they converge at the airplane's absolute ceiling. Best angle of climb (BAOC) airspeed for an airplane is the speed at which the maximum excess thrust is

  7. Flight planning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flight_planning

    Takeoff weight is the weight of an aircraft as it takes off partway along a runway. Few flight planning systems calculate the actual takeoff weight; instead, the fuel used for taking off is counted as part of the fuel used for climbing up to the normal cruise height. Landing weight is the weight of an aircraft as it lands at the destination ...

  8. Takeoff and landing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Takeoff_and_landing

    Conventional airplanes accelerate along the ground until reaching a speed that is sufficient for the airplane to takeoff and climb at a safe speed. Some airplanes can take off at low speed, this being a short takeoff. Some aircraft such as helicopters and Harrier jump jets can take off and land vertically. Rockets also usually take off ...

  9. Rotation (aeronautics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotation_(aeronautics)

    The first critical speed during takeoff (at which a pilot must decide whether to continue with takeoff or abort it) is called the "decision speed", or V 1, beyond which it would be unsafe to abort the takeoff. Rotation is begun at the speed known as V R. Rotation at the correct speed and to the correct angle is important for safety reasons and ...
