Worked for Wein Air Alaska years ago flying B-737-200's. If we left the APU running during take-off and climb, it could increase the weight 300 lbs. Now that is a real JATO !!!!!

Flew a very old B707 that had water injection. It lasted one minute fifty seconds from start of takeoff till the water ran out. The 11,200 lb. dry engines then put out a whopping 13,500 lbs wet. N735T
