Makes me wonder what the wake turbulence is on that wombat.

Maybe it can find additional roles in hurricane busting ;-)

Less than a 747

how can that be? if its bigger than a 747 the wake would be bigger,
so you have no idea what you are talking about....


Sit down before you hurt yourself and leave engineering to us
engineers.

Well, I have to admit to being more than a little skeptical of that
claim myself, so I did some checking. And the numerous articles don't
exactly bear out the engineers' (or potentially the publicists') claims
too well.

This was the latest that I found:

or

Long story short: Less than initially feared, but a lot more than
claimed, and believed to be more than a 747 based on the spacing
recommendations .
