Brings back memories of being at the pool just off the end of Entebbe airport with VC10s screaming overhead.

Though none of those clips is particularly recent, apart from the Farnborough 777X (which could hardly be described as a "takeoff fail").

Test pilots doing certification testing of some sort (Vmcg perhaps?) - note the towed static sensor.
Hardly a 'fail', but that goes for several of the clips.

You should be at LFBO when Airbus Flight Test Department is training for the Bourget or Farnborough displays ... and witness a bunch of "takeoff fails" :}

Fully in line with you: some of the takeoffs cannot be labelled as "failed" ... just a bit of sensationalism from the editor of the compilation

A typical YouTuber assembly of clips taken by and/or uploaded by others. I think the term "clickbait" applies here.

Some very well executed flight test work here including the Airbus A350 minimum unstick speed (temporary tailskid installed) with one engine inop and reversion to two engine flight once the test point was achieved.

Just wondering why are there no links to clips showing on the page I am seeing, just a large white space?
