Sometimes, heavy, military transport aircraft need to take off from short runways. If they can't manage this under their own power they will use a JATO [Jet Assisted Take Off) unit, which is a high-powered, solid- fuel rocket.

I’ve not heard anything back as yet. Any info warmly received. Regards, Steve
