1. A non-transitory, machine-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, effectuate operations comprising:
obtaining, by a computer system and using one or more surface tension sensors, one or more surface tension measurements of a landing surface or a takeoff surface for a vertical takeoff and landing aircraft;
determining, by the computer system, a reaction force for the aircraft using the one or more surface tension measurements; and
causing, by the computer system, one or more engines included in the aircraft to generate thrust based on the determined reaction force and the weight of the aircraft.
