During a plane take-off, what's the 0-60 /0-100 times? We see it in car specs.?

Question

I'm familiar with the speed in knots, but what's the 0-60/0-100 mph time for a plane taking off?

Answer 1

Performance varies enormously with the type of aircraft, the load it is carrying, the weather conditions, runway conditions, and so on.  Even small aircraft often have relatively powerful engines compared to cars, and they accelerate quite well, but the actual time from 0 to 60 or 0 to 100 varies a lot.  By the time a large airliner leaves the runway, it is often moving at nearly 200 mph, and it reaches that from a dead stop, often in less than 30 seconds.  A lightly loaded 757 can climb at a vertical speed of 60 mph—that's 60 mph up (and it's also moving forward at more than 200 mph at the same time).

Military fighter aircraft can do much, much better, of course.  Some can exceed the speed of sound while flying straight up.

Answer 2

747s may take about 20sec to reach 100kts (160mph)

Answer 3

If you have the ground roll distance and the rotate (takeoff) speed of an airplane you could do the calculation and find the times you are looking for.

How fast an airplane accelerates is important but more important is how far it takes to get airborne before it runs out of runway and how fast it can clime to clear any obstacles at the end of the runway. So that is why airplanes specs do not list acceleration times.

Answer 4

there is no time for the plane reaching the speed of mph..

actually in aviation there is no concerned of the speed rather the concern is about the rpm..that is what we count in how much time the rpm get normal and idle.

in cars and bike we are intrested for the pickup time but in aviation we dont so never calculated that time

Answer 5

These speeds are irrelevant in aircraft. Speeds which matter are the 'rotation' and 'lift-off' speeds. Rotation is when you rotate the aircraft to lift the nose wheel off the ground during the take off run and lift off when the main wheels leave the ground. These times vary considerably from aircraft to aircraft and are not considered to be of any use to the pilots, only the speeds are..

Answer 6

Automobile enthusiasts think in those terms, but pilots do not, so it has never been considered or recorded.

A pilot judges the takeoff situation by watching the airspeed indicator and the visual impression of speed, and comparing that with a visual impression of the remaining runway where runway length is an issue.

As mentioned, pilots "rotate" (raise the nose with the expectation of lifting off) at certain arbitrary speeds that have nothing to do with 60 or 100 miles per hour.
