... | I saw a video about the extensive testing of the early 747's (not the | 400's), and the test pilots had a big wooden skid attached to the rear | underside, and were taking off at too steep an angle grinding the wood skid | along the ground; amazing!! | shows just how strong they were and how they could stand up to rough | treatment; of course the one at Aukland didnt have a wooden skid so the | effect must have been quite sparking, ('s'cuse the pun!!) I don't have the 747-400 manual on hand, but on one of the first few pages it mentions that the APU is as effective as a wooden skid, if you drag it along 400m of concrete. Cheers Dave Kearton |
