Takeoff and landing

Vehicles that can fly can have different ways to take off and land. Conventional aircraft accelerate along the ground until sufficient lift is generated for takeoff, and reverse the process to land. Some aircraft can take off at low speed, this being a short takeoff. Some aircraft such as helicopters and Harrier Jump Jets can take off and land vertically. Rockets also usually take off vertically, but some designs can land horizontally.

Aircraft

Conventional takeoff and landing (CTOL)

Takeoff

Takeoff is the phase of flight in which an aircraft goes through a transition from moving along the ground (taxiing) to flying in the air, usually starting on a runway. For balloons, helicopters and some specialized fixed-wing aircraft (VTOL aircraft such as the Harrier), no runway is needed. Takeoff is the opposite of landing.

Landing

Landing is the last part of a flight, where a flying aircraft or spacecraft (or animals) returns to the ground. When the flying object returns to water, the process is called alighting, although it is commonly called "landing" and "touchdown" as well. A normal aircraft flight would include several parts of flight including taxi, takeoff, climb, cruise, descent and landing.

You Know He Never Loved You

by: Thalia

All this time I've been trying hard to hear you
To understand you and to console you
I know your life, and it's never been that simple
But now's the time to close the circle
To start over again it's something scary
I know those bruises in your heart are there forever
But now's the time to start again stronger than ever
And show the world in your own way that you are never gonna go through this again
You know he never loved you, you know he never wanted you
He stabbed you in the back and he broke your heart in half
But that will make you stronger, no suffering, no longer
You learned from your mistakes and there ain't no coming back
Now go enjoy your life and you're gonna laugh so hard
You're never gonna cry once again for a guy
You know he never loved you, you know he never wanted you
But at least you learned somehow
But if now you cannot stop thinking of his love
And his kisses, and his caresses
If in the night can't sleep because you miss him
Just remember the thing you've been through
To start over again it's something scary
I know those bruises in your heart are there forever
But now's the time to start again stronger than ever
And show the world in your own way that you are never gonna go through this again
You know he never loved you, you know he never wanted you
He stabbed you in the back and he broke your heart in half
But that will make you stronger, no suffering, no longer
You learned from your mistakes and there ain't no coming back
Now go enjoy your life and you're gonna laugh so hard
You're never gonna cry once again for a guy
You know he never loved you, you know he never wanted you
But at least you learned somehow
But now's the time to start again stronger than ever
And show the world in your own way that you are never gonna go through this again
You know he never loved you, you know he never wanted you
He stabbed you in the back and he broke your heart in half
But that will make you stronger, no suffering, no longer
You learned from your mistakes and there ain't no coming back
Now go enjoy your life and you're gonna laugh so hard
You're never gonna cry once again for a guy
You know he never loved you, you know he never wanted you
