Vertical and/or short take-off and landing (V/STOL) aircraft that are able to take off or land vertically or on short runways. Vertical takeoff and landing includes craft that do not require runways at all. Generally, a V/STOL aircraft needs to be able to hover; helicopters are not typically considered under the V/STOL classification.

The thirty world's busiest airports by aircraft movements are measured by total movements (data provided by Airports Council International). A movement is a landing or takeoff of an aircraft and includes both air transport movements and general aviation.
A typical purpose-designed light STOL aircraft, the Zenith STOL CH 701. This is a list of aircraft which are classified as having Short Takeoff and Landing, or STOL, characteristics. The STOL class excludes vertical takeoff and landing types, rotorcraft, aerostats and most light aircraft.
Headwinds give a plane the lift and stability necessary for smooth takeoffs and landings. Without them, planes run the risk of not getting off the ground or landing too fast.
“Dulles Airport received reports around 12:50 p.m. of a departed aircraft landing off airport property on a nearby roadway. ... and Dulles Airport remains open for takeoffs and landings,” the ...
Ultralights have even lower takeoff speeds. For a given aircraft, the takeoff speed is usually dependent on the aircraft weight; the heavier the weight, the greater the speed needed. [1] Some aircraft are specifically designed for short takeoff and landing (STOL), which they achieve by becoming airborne at very low speeds.
During takeoff, the aircraft will accelerate along the runway, resting on its wheels, until its takeoff speed is reached, at which point the pilot manipulates the flight controls to make the aircraft pivot around the axis of its main landing gear while still on the ground, this increases the lift from the wings and effects takeoff. During ...
