Aeroplanes.. when taking off or landing..goes against the wind or with the wind direction.?

Answer 1

Airplanes take off and land into the wind, otherwise the runways would need to be much longer.

Answer 2

They usually try to land and take off facing into the wind. As an aside, there is a thing called a "wind sheer" which is a downdraft from a cloud or a storm that amounts to a wind blowing towards the ground. As they fly through a wind sheer, they are pushed toward the ground somewhat and then all of a sudden they encounter wind going in their direction of flight and thus they lose lift and just drop out of the sky, not having enough time to re-adjust.

Answer 3

Airplanes usually are much better off taking off when FACING the wind. It's not much of an advantage, but if you consider this:
Getting a large airplane to go from 0-10mph requires many, many gallons of fuel, and takes a bit of distance on the runway. As everyone knows, fuel is as precious as space on a runway. Any way you can save a bit while taking off is safer. As for landing, all pilots like to approach the runway flying as slow as possible. A good head wind keeps your airspeed higher, but your ground speed slower. If the wind was following you, you would have to land at a much higher ground speed.

Answer 4

Air planes land and take off into the wind

Answer 5

When taking off and landing, planes must fly into the wind. Airplains are able to fly by wind passing OVER the wings. Taking off and landing into the wind ensures control and stability.

Answer 6

Against the wind

Answer 7

my gut feeling is that it goes against the wind thereby creating a difference in air pressure above & below the wings that in turn causes the aeroplanes to rise or land

Answer 8

Preferrably against when taking off and with when landing.

Answer 9

Makes no difference, they always land the same way depending on the airport's runway.

Answer 10

does not depend on the direction but depends on the pressure of air exerted on the wings of airplane
