You could takeoff in any Aircraft Flapless assuming
1/ runway long enough to accelerate to min clean speed.
2/ you don't exceed the max tire speed
3/ you have enough thrust
If I jumped in my A330 at say 160 tonnes and used TOGA I could accelerate to about 203 kts ( green dot is about 203 at 160T which is the max tire ground speed ) then off I go......might use a bit of runway though!!
So there you have it, to stay within the max tire speed of 203 kts and reach minimum clean speed I'd need to be about 160T TOW and that is basically empty!!
So, would you want to anyway??
