Chapter 10, Problem 22Q

To determine

To Explain: The airplanes normally take off into the wind.

Explanation of Solution

Introduction:

For reducing the speed of the aircraft which results in shorter takeoff and landing distances, the airplanes normally take off into the wind.

The fast-coming air bearing down on the plane generates an upward force on the wings in the case of takeoff which helps lift the aircraft. In other words, it states that the pilot takeoff the plane into a headwind as it helps them attain wheels up faster.

Conclusion:

Airplanes take off into the wind to reduce the speed of the aircraft which results in shorter takeoff and landing distances
