World's Most Secretive 737
Ecce Homo! Loquitur...
Tdracer,
Reference Catfish. there is also Catbird, CATB (Cooperative Avionics Test Bed). Catbird being Lockheed’s ICAO callsign. I presume Catfish was correspondingly used informally, as it’s the ICAO callsign of a UK company.
And of course because, because it’s the F-22 radar, ESM and other sensor testbed : “Scientists believe that catfish have whiskers, which are also called “barbels”, due to the fact that each one is loaded with tiny taste buds and special olfactory sensors to help them smell and feel the food around them when navigating in the dark.”……

Hmm, CAT B...

Should never re-appear on road, although reclaimed parts can be used in other road-going vehicles."

I'm looking for someone with access to a 737MAX8 manual with the Performance graphs.- or Boeing's performance spec charts.
My specific interest is in the runway length required for takeoff at MTOW at sea level at ISA+15 with a 5-knot crosswind component (from the right, in case you needed that!).
Asking for a friend!
Thanks much in advance..

Cant imagine the Janet transits are that long either, likely less than 20 minutes tarmac to tarmac, so they likely have a small fuel fraction as well.
My shortest jet leg was Kauai to Hono, with the MD-87 captain announcing a 16 minute travel time. First hostess came by literally tossing out small pull top POG juices, followed by second hostess about 90 seconds later with the trash bag.

The EMC spec was quite challenging... the levels at which it was required to survive were completely un-survivable by the human pilot it was supporting...
