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. |
