    "Extra friction = slower plane = less uplift = no take off."

    Extra friction= pilot puts in a bit more thrust. Easily overcome.

    "disagrees. It's quite a drag and planes are very heavy, causing this drag."

    The weight of the plane is a constant in both scenarios. All thats changed here is extra drag at the wheels (right?) Or have I missed another area of increased drag?
