Their problem was not the wings, but the engines, that provided barely enough thrust to get the 747 into the air.
And were prone to blowing up ....

The Jaguar was a bit like that, underpowered.
They abandoned trials to navalise it after this one spent 30 minutes trying to catch up with the carrier.

Mare of mine had an interesting theory. Flights UK to Aus for instance, way over 12 hours and an extraordinary amount of fuel.
So why not develop an 'aircraft' that can just make geostationary orbit...then sit wait for Aus to come to it..in 12 hours
(Not serious but....)

Technically, that’s an error in language rather than science . . .
