Vertical Take-off

Vertical take-off refers to a method of launching aircraft or spacecraft directly upward from the ground, without the need for a runway. This process relies on powerful engines or thrusters that generate enough lift to counteract gravity immediately upon ignition. Vertical take-off is common in helicopters, some drones, and certain space launch vehicles like rockets. It allows for quick, precise departures from confined spaces and is essential for vehicles operating in areas lacking runways or for missions requiring rapid or flexible launch capabilities.
