Greatest longitudinal force during initial takeoff roll

The forces felt by an object within an aircraft are those generated by aerodynamic forces and thrust, not gravity. The greatest component along the X-axis is thrust. Thrust is greatest when at low airspeed (engine thrust decreases with speed.

Think about your own experiences while flying. When are you forced back into your seat the most?
