It makes a lot of sense in that lift grows linearly with area, and exponentially with speed.

- WalterBright 4y agoYeah, but first you have to get off the ground and gain some altitude! Jet engines don't really start developing power until they're moving forward fast (forcing more oxygen into the intake). My dad said flying a jet out of Denver was always a challenge because the jet would just lumber along refusing to develop power. (Denver is at high altitude.) He'd always start the takeoff roll with the tail hanging over the edge of the runway start.
