I would be concerned about wind shear in takeoffs, but I know very little about planes.

- sokoloff 5y agoThis got some quick downvotes, but it's a reasonable concern. Anytime you reduce the takeoff and landing speed [in pursuit of being able to use shorter runways], you reduce the relative margin against unpredicted wind shear. A 20 knot loss of airspeed [windshear] is more "easily" ignored by an airplane with a rotation speed of 145 knots than one that rotates at 100 knots.
