And again, you are talking about a plane that is on the taxiway, sitting on the ground, where jetblast WILL damage objects and cause problems like that.
How does jet blast damage a sign that is not behind it, maybe when the plane flys over it close then the jet blast will hif the signs?

In flight, of course, what is encountered is the 'wake turbulence'....this is a common term to describe the wingtip vortices, produced while in flight.
But wake turbulence decrease with speed.

Originally posted by weedwhackerAlso, if you boat, you'll know that other wakes, or the prevailing current, can affect YOUR wake. Not the best analogy, except to say....a wingtip vortice will be produced, and will descend approx 300 - 400 feet behind the airplane, and will tend to spread out, and away...

No, ULTIMA....the strength of the wingtip vortice is directly related to the amount of lift being generated.

Did you see what i posted about the airport signs?

Yes I saw that but airports are windy places so I don't see it as definitive proof in the context you're attempting to put it in.

Whoops, forgot to load the CF6. But at 60 feet, 99.93% throttle the engine does not overheat. 500 it will, but at the parameters in the OP the engine doesn't overheat.

If you set the altitude at 60 feet and run the speed up, as soon as you hit 480 you get temp warning.
Also why would the hijackers risk burning up the engines before they hit thier targets?
