Can a thunderstorm plane take off

The plane can't take off in thunderstorm weather.

As long as there is a thunderstorm on the plane route, the plane can't take off. Of course, if there is only a thunderstorm on the route, you can actually apply for a change of route (but ordinary airlines don't do this), but if there is a thunderstorm at both the destination and the departure point, you can never take off.

Although the height of the plane's takeoff is higher than that of the thunderstorm cloud, it is very dangerous to forcibly take off through the thunderstorm layer when it thunders, and there will be the risk of being struck by lightning. Moreover, when it thunders and rains, the weather reacts violently, the wind direction and speed are unstable, and it is very difficult to take off. Moreover, when it rains, the airport runway will be wet and slippery because of the rain, and it will not take off to ensure safety, resulting in flight delays.

Flight principle

The cross section of an airplane wing is generally blunt at the front end, sharp at the rear end, with an arched upper surface and a flat lower surface. When the same mass of air passes through the upper and lower surfaces of the wing at the same time, different flow velocities will be formed up and down the wing. When the air passes through the upper surface of the wing, the speed is high and the pressure is low.

When passing through the lower surface, the flow velocity is small and the pressure is high, so the plane will have an upward resultant force, that is, upward lift. Because of the lift, the plane can leave the ground and fly in the air. The faster the plane flies, the larger the wing area, and the greater the lift generated.

The direction of gravity is opposite to the lift. It is a downward force influenced by the gravity of the earth, which is influenced by the weight of the aircraft itself and the amount of fuel it carries.
