Answer is ... Yes, of course the aircraft would take off.

i accept in theory that the plane would take off but would the tyres burst first?
in all of the theoretical arguments only a couple of posters looked at a real world scenario (empip)
im asking, and i do mean asking, because i saw a programe about concorde crashing.
part of the programe mentioned the take off speed which was higher due to the delta wing. they stated that the tyres had to especially made because normal tyres could not cope with the extra stresses involved.
that speed was 200 MPH or knots (i cant remember) i thought that a modern jet rotates at 130 ish mph or knots.
if this is so, with the added rolling resistance of the tyres, the heat increase over design rating causing more friction, would it definatly take off or would it crash before it could get there.
the op problem said aircraft, but if that were concorde, that wheel speed would be 400 mph/ or knots.
how fast would a military jet rotate at?
if we allow some for a safety margin on commercial aircraft, would that same margin apply to a light aircraft or a microlight.
you clearly know something about aircraft, certainly more than i do, so what do you think?

i think of the firemen on duty, some could work a whole career and not have a plane down, imagine being on the opposite shift
