This was more of a problem with the old straight-pipe (non-fan) powered heavy jet aircraft, ie: 707-321 (Pratt&Whitney JT4A) or Conway powered machines.
After rolling 11,500 feet on a 12,000 foot runway, then climbing at V2/400 fpm, one began to wonder....where is 'd thrust?

All the while hoping one didn't flame out.

With fan powered aircraft, much better runway performance is the norm....usually
