Old rule of aviation - give it enough power and anything can fly.

2012 update by Capt Inop - if you get it fast enough anything will fly.


That's true. Cars fly in tornadoes.


150,000 lbs - no flap stall speed - 163 kts.
160,000 lbs - 168 kts.

That would mean you'd be at 195 -200 kts to achieve 1.2Vso. That's 'Century' fighter speeds.
