It goes up during takeoff

I believe the answer is:

tray

(Other definitions for tray that I've seen before include "Kitchen carrier" , "Carrier (for eg, crockery, food)" , "Flat board for carrying things" , "Carrier for crockery etc" , "food container" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
