If the wheels don't need to move to take off then why do planes need runways shouldn't they be able to just launch from a standing position????

Still say it's not possible if the planes not in motion to take off.
friction. it's a lot easier to roll than to get the plane to speed standing still.
you can't just get in a car and do 60. it takes acceleration
