L-1011 General Aircraft Characteristics: Takeoff Exhaust Velocities L1011-500 (25-8)


The exhaust velocity is at about 70 miles per hour, 700 feet behind the aircraft at takeoff. Of special interest here is the width of the wind affected area. It is well within runway parameters, and should not affect runway lights nor stabilized shoulders, such as packed snow.
