@petermalanchuk82102 жыл бұрын
Yes, indeed, a lot of engineering man hours applied to the design of this aircraft. Same with the Boeing 747-100. My Dad wore employee badge number 120 for Grumman Aircraft Eng. Co., Bethpage, NY, he joined them in 1934 he was shop foreman for many years at Plant 2 - I learned a lot about planes from him when I was a little kid. I grew up in Village of Hempstead, NY, about 1.5 miles west of Mitchel AFB, and got to see nearly all of the MATS Atlantic Div., piston powered transport and troop carrier planes when I was really little, around 1956 thru 1961. I loved my childhood!

Engines fogged up on takeoff. Must have been a humid day. Sky looked like it could have rained.
@petermalanchuk82102 жыл бұрын
Hi, Magnus, The fog you see on take off is a water injection stream applied to all engines to increase the power or thrust output for the engines for short durations, typically applied at low speeds and at take off.

Tom's Planes ehh true. But I can understand that they needed more reliable engines for better reliability and efficiency, thrust, range, and payload. I support it, but I do miss the old TFs. The C-5s are still awesome to look at and see though. It’s for the best, and to make sure they stay in the sky.
