"起飞" literally means "to take off," primarily used for aircraft or rockets leaving the ground. Beyond aviation, it is often used metaphorically to describe rapid growth or a sudden start of success, especially in business or economic contexts.
Common Collocations
- 起飞时间 (takeoff time): used when discussing flight schedules.
- 业务起飞 (business takes off): describes a company or project rapidly growing.
- 火箭起飞 (rocket launch): refers to a rocket's liftoff.
Usage Notes

Avoid confusing "起飞" with "飞行" (to fly), as "飞行" is a broader term for flying in the air, while "起飞" specifically means the start of flight.
Register and Tone
"起飞" is standard and neutral, suitable for formal and informal contexts, including news reports, business discussions, and everyday conversation.
