Normal aircraft can take off vertically. The minimum forward speed required is 0 knots - all you need is a strong enough headwind. This happened at my gliding club last week. We share the field with a 737/757 etc 'MOT centre'. They have a static engine test area which someone parked a glider behind. When the jet engines were run up, the back-draft caused enough wind to lift the glider off the deck and deposit it (in an unusable state ) further down the airfield.
I feel sorry for the person who parked it there but, Please please please can you post a copy of the insurance claim? I feel the basis for an urban myth in the making.

Sorry, but we self-insure for hull damage. The glider will probably be repaired as and when labour is available.

I'll try to get a photo or 2 when I next go down...
