I had to do a full power take off from EGAA in a 22K engined 733 (the more powerful version) due to wx conditions with only 30 pax on board and a 30kt headwind.
My estimate of the groundroll to Vr was 600 metres. Cleared a left turn our discretion to FL090 the VSI was off the clock (6,000 fpm) between 1,000' and 3,500' and I then had to reduce the climb rate for comfort and level bust considerations.
From my limited experience flying Hawks the initial acceleration in the take off roll is greater in the 737, the immediate after take off acceleration is a little less and then the climb rate leave the Hawk standing. <img src="smile.gif" border="0"> <img src="eek.gif" border="0">
Also recently whilst engaged in a
PR flight to a new airport we did a full power take off whilst empty. I distinctly recall the flight director commanding 27 degrees nose pitch up which I was too chicken to reach. It was all we could do to get the flaps retracted whilst the girls in the back experienced the fun of a negative g pushover at 6,000ft... Great day out - 3 of the companies blondest hosties screaming like stuck pigs whilst you and Skippy grin your heart out. :grin:
Modern jet airliners have amazing performace.
