• Adverbs of time- (Eg): then, now, today, yesterday etc.,
• Adverbs of manner- (Eg):fast, slowly, properly, beautifully, etc.,
• Conjunctive adverbs- (Eg): however, nonetheless, whenever, etc.,
• Adverbs of degree- (Eg): extremely, truly, really, etc.,
• Adverbs of place- (Eg): there, here, nowhere, everywhere, etc.,
• Adverbs of frequency- (Eg): rarely, always, usually, etc.,
• In the sentence given, the phrasal verb is 'take off'.
• The word that qualifies this verb is 'shortly'. So this the adverb.
• As it describes how the take off of the aeroplane is, it is adverb of manner.
• Hence the adverb is 'shortly' and it is adverb of manner.
