concur what sengasengana states if you were to advance the throttles to takeoff power like a GE or P&W chances are that the runway would be littered with engine parts.

Remember at Kuwait on the AN124 sitting at the end of the runway waiting the prescribed time period for the engines to stabilise and an Air France aircraft on finals. After take off heard the AF crew complaining that the sand storm created had almost reduced the visibility to below CATI standard
