That's the way I like to hit redlights....
Roll up slowly waiting on the light to change then hammer down on green...
Feels good .

There’s a bunch of reasons why rolling (dynamic? lol) takeoffs aren’t performed often, traffic-airborne and crossing downfield being the most common. You also won’t see it often on a wide body as it takes a while to make the turn while trying not to leave any usable runway behind you. Start spooling up 85,000/lb+ thrust engines before being lined up and you may find yourself in the weeds. And fwiw, thanks to body gear steering the 747 is relatively nimble while making tight turns.

I have been on some Runways where they have to stop and open it wide open, brake applied to make it to takeoff - Williston, ND and Burbank, CA come to mind

I’m unsure if the terminology is standard but where I’ve worked the 3 types of takeoffs were standing, static, and rolling.

Do you even line up and wait bro.

No need to stop you p*ssies.
Holy shite, you actually think it's up to the pilot when and how he can take off. Sometimes I think I'm dumb and then I read posts like this and feel better about myself.

I'm not so sure that's a bad thing.

Nah. It’s mostly a personal preference or it’s the release. Sometimes the tower will tell you that you are cleared for takeoff, no delay. That’s an order to get moving. I always do a personal checklist of transponder, choke full rich, then throttle. So if I don’t get that done as I’m lining up I’ll pause on the threshold. But usually I hit the throttle as I’m lining up. It doesn’t take military training to do that; a monkey could do it.

777Tiger, a poster in this thread expressed concerns about quick takeoffs and wake turbulence from preceding aircraft. Can you briefly address this? Is it more of a concern when a plane has taken off and leveled off as opposed to continuous climb out?

Anytime a pilot is breaking stuff in the cockpit, it is time to regret your choices.

Look man, some of us are just trying to keep the A&Ps employed

Airplanes going low, slow and dirty make the most wake turbulence. The wake turbulence sits on top the runway instead of just drifting like it would at altitude. And if you’re in a smaller plane in the wake turbulence of a large aircraft just after takeoff the ground is a lot closer to you.

usually a 2 minute spacing is required before a small to medium aircraft is cleared to takeoff behind a heavy jet, 3 minutes if departing at an intersection or if a small aircraft's taking off behind a 757, wake turbulence is greatest generated when lift is being produced and the aircraft is in a clean configuration and flowing(relatively,) slow, it's most hazardous when taking off and landing but wake turbulence is produced at all times in flight and you can absolutely get the shite kicked out of you if you're stuck below and behind a super heavy going over the Atlantic on a NAT

Saw on YouTube once, if you have a fear of flying, when you hear the engines just start to rev up on departure, put in your iPods, crank up Sweet Emotion, the song intro covers the departure roll, then the words start as soon as you lift off. I’ve tried it, it works, coolest thing ever…..

Traffic on a 3 mile final , cleared for immediate takeoff no delay.

same here. Eastern out of ATL was brutal that day (the heat, the wait). Infamous day in July '86 (I think)
HOWEVER, on the return out of San Juan, we turned onto the runway and Wham, floored it. pretty cool for first time flier

Much appreciated.

It's called a noise abatement takeoff. It's designed to get in the air quick and then spool back over the neighborhoods at the end of the runway.

lol. No shite.
I dig it actually.
