Here's a very informal demo.

I've subtracted 25,000 lbs and moved the CG 20 feet aft to adjust for the loss of the engines and the forward fuselage.

I have not actually altered the graphic to show the forward fuselage or engines as missing.

It starts in level flight at 140 kts. It travels roughly 800 feet past the starting point. This is not an animation, it's the flight simulator.
