long enough to take 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."
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.
All you need is the right temperature over the runway and the right gust of wind. I saw it happen on take of once , the plane ( a Cessna 175 just barely cleared the fence that ran parallel along the side of the runway.
No, if you try to land on a runway, your plane explodes when you hit the ground.
it depends..... but for all i know that your allowed to take as many steps as you need! preferably 12-16
Depends on how strong the wind is, how long the runway is, how heavily loaded the plane is etc - but generally, yes.What gets a regular airplane off the ground is how fast it's moving through the air. If the air is moving with the plane - as in a tailwind - it takes longer/more runway for the plane to reach the airspeed needed to fly.
On the runway, the main forces acting on an airplane are thrust (propels the plane forward), drag (resists the plane's motion), lift (opposes gravity to keep the plane airborne), and weight (pulls the airplane downward). These forces work together to allow the airplane to take off and maintain controlled movement on the runway.
A London-Nice travel is about one hour and a half, not taking into account the waiting times on the runway and before landing.
For takeoff, it requires so much thrust to get it off the ground that if it used a regular runway, it would need something like 5 miles behind it to avoid damage. So they make it take off vertically to avoid that. A space shuttle lands on a regular (but slightly longer) runway just like a plane.
O'Hare's longest runway is 13,000 feet.
When the pilot opens the throttle, the plane starts to move. If pointed down a runway, it can take off.
