Takeoff Distance

Takeoff distance is the total space an aircraft needs to safely lift off from the ground and become airborne. It includes the distance traveled while accelerating along the runway to reach the necessary speed, called the takeoff speed, and the additional distance needed for the plane to climb upward after leaving the ground. Factors affecting this distance include aircraft weight, engine performance, runway condition, and weather conditions like wind and temperature. Understanding takeoff distance helps pilots ensure there is enough runway space for a safe departure, especially in emergency or challenging conditions.
