About 50 mph as I recall.

The never exceed speed for an airplane is designed to keep the plane - which is designed to fly - from ceasing to fly due to breakup. The never exceed speed for a car is designed to keep the car - which is not designed to fly - from flying. Of course, I know I'm stating the obvious.

I don’t know, but in a Cessna 152 you start lifting the nose wheel at 50 knots in a normal takeoff (I’d say about 54 MPH), maybe 5 kts. faster in a 172.
