Think you'll find the term "water wagon" mostly applied to the B707-120, -138, and DC8-11, -12 aircraft .... since they're the ones which required water/methanol injection to boost T/O engine thrust .... and is what also resulted in their signiture heavy smoke effects on T/O. The later B707 and DC8 models could, apparently, be water injected too .... BUT .... seldom were .... if ever .... so far as I'm aware. BUT ANTWAY .... what you've previewed here, so far, looks "ABSOLUTELY GREAT"  .... and is "A CREDIT TO YOU" Paul  Mark C AKL/NZ Hi Mark. I have some more info taken from a Pratt & Witney (FAA))Data Sheet (4A26) which list all the JT-4A models, and they are all marked as Dry, so no water wagon. Compare that to the zillions of JT-3C models on Data Sheet 4A21, and they have wet and dry listings for each engine type. So no water on the 4A models. Paul |

That sounds about right I think the wet option was mostly relevent to high weight or otherwise field (and maybe terrain) restricted operations .... in order to get that bit extra thrust which the water/methonol injection system promoted .... where required/necessary. Mark C AKL/NZ |

Hello the last post from this thread was from 2015, I just wanted to know if the L1011 is still in development/Released Or dead. Thanks for your response

As you say .... this's an old thread. Never pays to bother with/revive old threads/postings The commented AI L-1011 was "a private project only" and never progressed to completion .... and was therefore never delivered/released. No further AI installments are planned or intended by HJG. Mark C AKL/MZ |
