Description should include the following:
- The minimum takeoff distance is of primary interest in the operation of any aircraft because it defines the runway requirements.
- The minimum takeoff distance is obtained by taking off at some minimum safe speed that allows sufficient margin above stall and provides satisfactory control and initial ROC. Generally, the lift-off speed is some fixed percentage of the stall speed or minimum control speed for the aircraft in the takeoff configuration. As such, the lift-off is accomplished at some particular value of lift coefficient and AOA.
