== Takeoff and landing == {{Main|Takeoff and landing}} Vehicles that can fly can have different ways to '''takeoff and land'''. Conventional aircraft accelerate along the ground until sufficient lift is generated for [[takeoff]], and reverse the process for [[landing]]. Some aircraft can take off at low speed; this is called a short takeoff. Some aircraft such as helicopters and [[Harrier jump jet]]s can take off and land vertically. Rockets also usually take off and land vertically, but some designs can land horizontally.
