Interesting comments.
one of the comments reminded me of a personal experience I had in the 1970s. I was a passenger on a 747 at DFW Airport. There was a backup for some reason and there must have been 20 commercial airliners sitting on the tarmack on hold. We would creep forward as each plane got clearance. THe pilot came on and said to look out to our right, there was the SST in line with us. there was a 707 infront of it and a 747 directly behind it. At that moment, the only thought that I had was ".....HOW THE HELL IS OUR PILOT GOING TO GET THIS BLOATED WALRUS OFF THE GROUND!!!!" lol That SST looked like a 2009 corvette at a 57 Chevy convention!!!!! I was really starting to question the basic fundamentals of lift and flight!
