[Ravang]

I've heard a lot of rumors that a 747 could flip a car and well it turns out its true.

I wouldn't try it, I wonder if it would work with or small jet, or if a small prop plane could knock over a person? :-?

The mythbusters did something similar. They used two, unmounted 737 engines and if i remeber correctly, blew over a mid-sized car.

They used a single engine from a Lear jet. All it did was blow a few bits of trim off. They had to resort to some old footage like above to prove it.

Top Gear did it years ago with a Virgin 747 and a Citroen 2CV  ;D

I just seen the new mythbusters today and they got a 747, and tried it with and car, a school bus, and a old 172, I wouldn't like to be in any of them

that was a good show with the 747 blowing the car and the school bus away... i heard they are going to set up a massive tread mill and try to launch a small airplane off of it some time soon.

Actually that is a 732 not a 747

But still that looks wierd seeing the old pickup fly off of that cliff

Can't wait to watch the tread mill
