My experiment with Pulse detonation engines:
We have all asked our selves, if a 707 had 110,000lbs of thrust would it do shorter take offs?


And would it accelerate straight up like a fighter?


And time to climb?


And how fast could you go before the plane broke up?



I did put the thrust back to 11,200 on the VC-137A when I was done, to hard to fly at min throttle.

I read somewhere that :- 'the only thing that gets a 707 into the air is the curvature of the earth!'

Nice shots. I guess that orange colour is abundant on more than just navy stuff?

Thank you
That used to be the color of the MATS: Military Air Transportation Service. Before they changed their name to MAC: Military Airlift Comnad.

Thats was the first Air Force 1 on the 707, VC-137A.

I think it would accelerate a lot better with the gear up

Cool bird ... I like those noisy old 707's and the same goes for the 727.
Classic liners remember us where we're come from.

Technically this is possible. It is called orbit. Basically how it works

Then you will be happy to know that last pic was 70,000ft up at 1,560kts.
