The 727 has a prop. They install it under the tail while
parked.

Either that or you drop the rear airstairs if the plane is
so equipped. Don't know about the 727, but some of the
DC-9's you HAD to do that. When the plane was empty
it only took a couple of guys standing in the back to
tip it up off the nose gear.


I once read that the Concorde used to pump fuel around after landing to
move the CG far enough forward that departing pax wouldn't tip it over.

They also did a lot of active CG management (by pumping fuel around) in
flight as they went from subsonic to supersonic and back.
