Jet turbine starting equipment ?
Hi. Could not find a proper group to ask, sorry :
The old Boeing 707 and perhaps others had a tiny 3000+ psi air compressor on board driven by a hydraulic motor to start engines with NO ground equipment assist. Which current aircraft have a similar compressed air starting system on board ? Thanks.

My company uses an umbilical every now and again. Bertie
