A CG move of 3% aft is not the same as losing the entire nose section. Are you really that stupid as to not see the massive difference??

Wow. I'm beyond impressed that the CG of a steeply pitched, low and slow, just rotated B747 can experience a reward CG shift of up to 56% and not only remain flyable, but also recoverable in less that 5 seconds!

I have trouble believing it and the 1960s' slide rule engineering that went into making something like that even possible is quite astonishing to me.

Thanks for posting!
