I wonder how much total runway that test used ?

 

[razor1uk]

proberly within the average 'heavy' runway length or whatever it is?

I wonder how much total runway that test used ?

you can see the length markers as he goes , looks to 12000ft rwy

It's not quite the ultimate rejected takeoff test. What about with a wet runway ?

 

[syscom3]

Maybe Flyboy can answer that one.

I guess a wet runway wouldn't be harder on the brakes, since the antiskid would probably have the brakes cycling on and off.

But it would use more runway, and it would be harder on the sphincter muscle in a real incident, instead of a test.

I have to admit, that's still pretty dam impressive. Cool post syscom!
