Very cool question! According to the chart I found, takeoff speeds for commercial airliners range from 150 mph/250 kph/130 knots for a 737 weighing 100,000 pounds to 225 mph/360 kph/195 knots for a Concorde (no longer in service to my knowlege) weighing 400,000 pounds.

It's allowed. But certain separation standards have to be maintained. If the light aircraft departs before a commercial aircraft it must be given time to get clear of the following commercial aircraft's flight path. If it departs after the commercial aircraft it must wait for the wake turbulence caused by the preceding aircraft to dissipate, (can be several minutes according to the weights involved and the wind). In the light of this, some larger airports prohibit light aircraft because of the delays they would cause, but this is purely a commercial ban rather than anything to do with the airport handling international flights. Take off speed of a light aircraft is probably at least 50 mph slower than even a small airliner.

Airplane Take Off Speed

A typical jetliner loaded will take off somewhere around 120 to 150 knots, depending on the type, the weight of the load, and the conditions at the time.
Generally the airplane flies a little better with a faster takeoff, but it's also a little harder on the landing gear, so pilots typically take off at the slowest safe speed with a little safety margin built in.

The speed at which an aircraft takes off is called Vr (r is rotation or take off), this is the minimum speed at which an aircraft develops sufficient lift and can safely take off. The Vr is chosen by a pilot after considering several parameters such as - Outside Air Temperature, Density, Runway Length Available, Gross Weight of the Aircraft, Presence or absence of any obstacle upon take off etc.
Each aircraft has its own band of Vr. Small air crafts such as a Cessna 172 can take off anywhere between 55 Knots to 65 Knots. (one knot is 1.15 mile). Commercial airliners take off at various speed ranging from 120 mph to as high as 240 mph.

It depends on the aircraft.
For a commercial plane like a Airbus A300 it's like 300 km/h.

Well most aircraft can take off at around 150kts airspeed about 170mph, some are slower, and obviously some are faster. I say that it really depends on the wind.

It depends on the type of plane, the weight of the plane, and the density of the air. Narrow it down some more.

Too fast, I'm afraid. I don't like flying, nor any part of the journey, including the takeoff.
