Best Answer

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.

What is the place where airplanes takeoff and land called?

It is called a runway, and it is also referred to as the tarmac, which is what the runway is made out of.


Why do airplanes need so much speed to take off?

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


Do airplanes use friction?

Yes, airplanes rely on friction during takeoff and landing. Friction between the aircraft's wheels and the runway helps it accelerate for takeoff and decelerate upon landing. Additionally, control surfaces like ailerons and flaps also use friction to adjust the aircraft's direction and speed in flight.


What does climbout mean in airplanes?

Climb out is the phase of flight which begins immediately after takeoff and continues until the airplane levels off at its cruising altitude.


Why you put up Seat upright on airplanes during takeoff and landing?

So that the reclined seat back will not interfere with the evacuation of the aircraft in the event it becomes necessary


How many airplanes takeoff and land at LAX daily?

Los Angeles international had 622,506 aircraft movements (takeoffs and landings) in 2008 an average of 1701 a day.


Do airplanes take off against the wind?

Yes, airplanes always fly into the wind. It decreases the length required to takeoff because the net airspeed over the wings is higher. Logistically though, sometimes airports won't swap directions for a wind speed that's relatively small.


Can you give me anther sentence for earphone?

I haven't given you any other sentences, so I can't give you "anther" one yet. You can't wear earphones on most airplanes during takeoff.


How do airports ensure that runways are safe to takeoff and land on?

Runways are created with enough space to ensure that airplanes have plenty of room to take off and land, even in adverse weather. They are kept clean and free of obstacles that might get in the way of planes mid-takeoff. They're also inspected regularly by the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration).
