In German it's called "Kavalierstart". The tail strike is strange - I only remember B727 with a special spur for body protection. With no passengers nor luggage and little fuel the pilots are always trying this: HAM, Septmber 2009 - full thrust which blew away all taxiway signs rotation after 600m with immediate take off: there were 3000m runway left:

Is Airbus doing some tail strike tests? A rather strange take-off with spoilers activated?

The tail strike is strange - I only remember B727 with a special spur for body protection. The Soviet long-range airliner Ilyushin IL-62 (still in use in several airlines) has a rear support landing gear under its tail. It is used as an additional prop, stretched down when the aircraft is on the ground and isn’t loaded and fueled, since it is quite tail-heavy with its 4 tail engines. The rear support landing gear is also engineered to protect the tail structure in case of strike at over-rotation during landing, and even when retracted, its wheels remain partially outside the fuselage.
