Maraklov set DreamStar's wings to their maximum high-lift then had the computers check the takeoff performance.
The Thunderstreak suffered from the same poor takeoff performance as the straight-wing Thunderjets despite having a more powerful engine.
The jet pods greatly improved takeoff performance and dash speed over the target.
The B-1's variable-sweep wings and thrust-to-weight ratio provide it with better takeoff performance, allowing it to use more runways than previous bombers.
Inclusion of the injection system increased takeoff performance by about 20 PS without increasing boost rates and it also reduced fuel consumption.
Wingspan was identical as before, and despite the thinner wing, the increased wing area of 9,026 ft2 (838.5 m2) allowed the same takeoff performance.
Any effect on takeoff performance from this excess weight was negligible.
Typical of most early jets, the Thunderjet's takeoff performance left much to be desired.
The winglets result in a 3 percent increase in long-range cruise, improved takeoff performance, and higher cruise altitudes.
With its large wing, it had good takeoff performance, and was capable of short takeoff and landing operations.
