   Yeah C I now.  They're wind powered generators C for emergency electric supply C travelling at 250+ mph!.  

   There are also wind driven vacuum horns C too.  But C we weren't talking about these C either.  We were talking about wind driven fuel pumps.

   Think about it.  Sitting on the runway C zero airspeed C all ready for that long climbout at slow airspeed C and expecting an air driven pump to power your fuel supply.  Even Rube Goldfarb woul find it a challenge!!!

   You're not suggesting Sully could drop his wind driven generator on the ramp. and furnish cabin air conditioning C are you?

 There are wind driven emergency hydraulic pumps on jetliners... ask Capt. 

 Sullenberger about that one.
