Is the 737 not as sensitive as some other planes? The fuse looks shorter than some others. This thread just got me to thinking of the times I've flown Southwest. They don't do assigned seats, and I've seen half-empty planes with everyone sitting right up front.

A guy in my club works at the new Air&Space museam out at Dullas. He was talking about the Concorde's CG the other day. Apparently, the one they are putting on display will have a large pile of sandbags inside, since if you totally defuel a Concorde, it sits on it's tail. He also said that at supersonic speeds, the control surfaces don't move, all control is though CG shifting by pumping fuel fore-aft, and side-to-side. I don't have any direct knowledge of this though, but it sounds possible. (Aparently the Concorde doesn't really do much more than fly in a very straight line at 50k feet at supersonic speeds.) Can anyone who acutally worked with one verify this?
