Minimum velocity take offs are legit tests as part of certification processes for planes. Because the plane goes slow, the nose up has to be higher and therefore the tail can scrape the runway.
But isn't it nice to know your air-dog (the giant A380 in this clip) can lumber into the air at such a low pace?
If you're up for some fancy aeronautical engineering factoids on takeoff speeds, take a look at this: Aerospaceweb
Bon soir, plane spotters...
