B727 Jato assisted t/o
Hello!
I am looking for some info about the jato system that was used in the 70s(? ) with the B727. Mexicana is the only airline that used them as far as I am aware. I´m interested to know more details about the system, where it was installed, used frequently, effectiveness, performance etc. Thanks, 7 7 7 7 |
Not B727 related ... but on the subject of JATOs ...
You heard about the alleged guy who strapped a JATO bottle onto his Chev Impala? He and his auto were found embedded in a cliff face, forty feet above the road. He received a Darwin Award! (But the story may not be true.) And the USMC who trialed JATO assisted landings in a C130? Didn't work! And they didn't receive a Darwin Award! :} Interesting history of JATO development, particularly regarding the Ercoupe experiment! JATO Chronology |
Squawk.
There is a boeing flight test video from the 70's showing the jato/rato 727 take off. Not sure how u could get a copy but I would think Boeing would be the place to start. |
But the story may not be true. |
