Re: stolen from another forum
As Ken said, whether a plane can take off or not depends only on how fast the air is moving in relation to the plane's wings.
It's for this reason that airplanes take off facing into the wind whenever possible: the plane's ground speed at takeoff is not as high as it would be if there were no wind, so a smaller length of runway is needed.
