Hi. Could not find a proper group to ask, sorry :
The old Boeing 707 and perhaps others had a tiny 3000+ psi air
compressor on board driven by a hydraulic motor to start engines
with
NO ground equipment assist.
Which current aircraft have a similar compressed air starting
system
on board ?
Thanks.

No civil AC I know of, except some russian light planes.

Bertie

Yeah, Mx probably doesn't know either.


Awwww, you having a bad day?

I'm not! that's something anyway, isn't it?


Bertie

Take your meds. You are making even less sense than usual.


Aww, a meds slur.

That makes perfect sense.
Anyone else understand it?

See?
You're just stupid.

None in regular airline service. I have seen a couple of
707s converted to corporate service where the forward cargo
hold was converted to hold a retractable APU that was pulled
outside the cargo door for engine starts and then shut-down
and stowed away.

I've een told, but haven't seen, that some have the 727 type
installation.

Bertie

I understand the 727 was originaly designed without an APU and they
squeezed one into the wheel well. This was the main reason it
couldnt
be used inflight. This was from a systems instructor who had alot of
folklore on the 727 (Including the picture of 30 or so people
hanging
on the airstair inflight during the fall of Siagon).

You are feeding a very destructive (wanna be) troll.


He isn't, actually.


But you are.


Not that that will stop you. You're a k00k and k00ks never listen.

Bertie




You're a liar.




Well, even if I were that's immaterial. Th eproof is in the pudding,
k00kie boi.

You didn't listen.

ahh, gay lames!

Excellent.



Bertie

Thanks, gentlemen.
What would be the exact technical name for that on-board air
compressor unit ?
-To say it right when I call a boneyard looking for one, perhaps they
know what other current aircraft are equipped with a similar system-

Air compressor, probably.

Nothing new uses anything like that. Even the barbie jets have APUs
