Does a 747 just turn into a very heavy glider when all 4 engines quit?
Can it even be controlled? (the 747-200 has no RAT)
Testimony from pilots (source included below) indicate in real life, the engines windmilling would create enough hydraulic power to supply the required flight controls with the energy needed. In his book, he states the windmilling engines creates 3000psi in the engines down to 160kts, after which HYD pressure begins to dwindle. Unfortunately it is not clear if he has normal electrical power at this point (I am assuming so) because this obviously factors in.
After some research online, and spending half an hour doing various tests, manually cutting fuel levers and relighting mid-flight (I decided to edit this out, as it made the video almost 45 minutes long) it seemed that the APU was needed to keep the 747 responding to my control inputs - which otherwise completely failed after about 2 minutes (current Felis 747-200 version as of Jan 2024).
These "semi official online sources" are quoted from a book - Handling the Big Jet - by D Davies (talking about the 747 Classic. )
