Unpublished, improper rotation technique's may very invalidate all the published performance for the particular take-off, in any event the airplane would have probably "flown off", and begun to encounter difficulties when leaving ground effect..I'm sure the crew, as in DTW probably never realized what was happening to them..and I recall reading that some types of cb's that were subjected to many openings and closings during maintenance procedures, were subject to internal failure, and while appearing closed externally, internally they were actually open...any menton of difficulty engaging auto-throttles appear on the FDR as in the DTW accident?
