### More about Takeoff

During takeoff the aircraft accelerates along the runway, rotates at the calculated speed and lifts off into the initial climb.

Required speeds and distance depend on mass, runway condition, wind, temperature and configuration. Multi-engine performance planning also addresses engine failure and the applicable V1, VR and V2 speeds.
