Takeoff Distance
Takeoff distance is the length of runway required for an aircraft to become airborne. It is influenced by several factors, including the aircraft's weight, engine power, and environmental conditions such as temperature and altitude. Pilots and airlines must calculate this distance to ensure that the runway is long enough for a safe takeoff.
The takeoff distance is critical for flight safety and is often specified in the aircraft's operating manual. It helps determine the minimum runway length needed at a specific airport, ensuring that the aircraft can lift off without risk of overrunning the runway. Proper planning is essential for successful flights.
