which airlines or aircraft give the best take off ride,i know it is dependent quite a bit on ATC but the final V1 and V2 speed is determined by the pilots.i feel sahara is fast in 737 side and IC in airbus...
Okay this is half baked information here, V1 V2 are take off speeds (go/no-go and takeoff speed). these speeds depend on load, runway length, wind, temperature, etc. A good example for Delhi is a non-precision take-off on a 320 on Runway 28 will rotate at approx where the fire station comes to your right give or take around 100 feet.
this is largely dependant on the config the captain set the aircraft at during the pre-flight checks. The take-off ride is a BIG function of the runway, Vizag for e.g. will give you a really bumpy ride to take off, since the V1 & V2 are really close (around 20knots)
I asked my dad to give me a comparision between IC A320s IAE engines and IC A319s CFM engines and according to him the CFM gives a much much auperior performence than the IAE
The pilots appreciate the A319 now more than the A320

Well hw about Boeing 777-300?? Recently came back frm BKK with TG. BKK-DEL leg was operated by 777-300 the power plants were by Rolls Royce. And i really remember the whole plane shaking each time the plane took off. I have been on SQ,s 777-300 and it was the same experience in regards to take off and landing...
A330 and 747 are not that powerfull in regards to take off... Just a personal opinion i dont have any scientific backing to this so i open to correction too..

B773 has definately got a better thrust but even the A330 or better -300 has quite a powerful thrust dont wanna comment on the B747

My last trip to India, it was an AC333 to LHR and then a 772 and 310. I felt the 772 as the most powerful among them, I have a feeling that 310 climb was better than the 330.
Not always but at times even the pilots make a difference
An example of a landing... while my flight in IC from DEL to KTM when landing at KTM the pilot didnt even use the thrust reversers totally on the brakes it was a very smooth and silent landing
While flying AI B747 from BOM-DEL i experienced one of the best take-offs ever hell sommth and gentle

The most probable reason for not using brakes would be locked out reversers, using brakes only is very expensive form of reducing speed on ldg. Many airlines direct their pilots to use reversers only on ldg roll to avoid brake wear, which leads to replacing them frequently.
B747 has the widest wings among all wide-body a/c, it tends to lift-off like a high wing (C-130) a/c if the a/c is light and flying in std weather conditions.
The pilot on the flight was an instructor pilot and even im aware of the fact that using the brakes only is not advisable as it heats up the gears more than using the reversers+spoilers

Lets add.Does not Heat up the Gear.But instead Heats up the Brakes & can Heat up the tires.The Main Wheels however have Thermal fuses to cater to Over temperature Situation.
