What you’re actually seeing is a reheat drain caused by overpressure of fuel that has not been ignited. This pressure build is caused by cancelling reheat, causing the system to automatically dump/vent/exhaust the excess fuel through an outlet under the exhaust. Pretty standard stuff but looks odd to the general public.
@@panicwarning4016 I don't remember that from my RB199 course, but I do remember that the throttle lever in reheat controls the Aj or nozzle area during lightup and subsequently fuel flow follows nozzle area as the reheat is modulated from min to max. That maintains the optimum nozzle area for maximum thrust and correct back pressure through the engine core to prevent surge or compressor stall. Mind you it made a big bang when occasionally the engine surged in reheat during maintenance engine ground runs because the adjustment pots on the MECU sometimes got noisy and caused erratic operation!
How can a plane look so majestic and beautiful. Must be by far , the most most beautiful plane every build, without a doubt. To bad they were decomissioned , at least i had the pleasure to see them regulary close up
The Tornado always looks unhappy on the ground and also like it always has something to go take care of.... a very serious and industrious aircraft. The F-16, on the other hand, always seems eager and happy. The shark and the dolphin.
If we are pairings animals to jets, the Panavia Tornado would a Sand Tiger shark. Pointy and menacing with a big sweeping vertical stabilizer like the sand tiger's tail. The F-16, original name, the Fighting Falcon is perfect, a bird of pray. Sharp and attentive like a falcon.
Looks like a partially blocked hot shot injector which is located in the engine combustion chamber, if this gets blocked then the fuel for reheat will not get lit. The vapour out of the exhaust is unburnt fuel and the plume below the aircraft is fuel that is dumped overboard when reheat is deselected.

I am surprised that they still flew after those failed afterburner attempts!! Thought for sure that they would abort!!! Cool to watch none the less!! Thanks for sharing!
the one afterburner is normaly enough and the main engine whasnt affected at all but what i think the ignitor for the second afterburner simply dont work after the 3 attempts it works probably the electrodes are somehow dirty or covered with sud dont forgot the tornado stands a longer period ideling at the taxi runway
Samantha Willmer - RB199 uses a hot shot ignition system, not electrodes. Issue can be fouling of the hot shot injector or the system that controls it.
When they came into service they were pretty clean engines compared to J79s and Speys that we saw every day. These days the exhaust looks really dirty.
Working alongside these Tornadoes at the flightline, servicing our F-16's, for many years i thought the refuel receptacle was located behind the radar antenna. They opened up into that compartment after every flight.
When the after burner won't light there may be a fuel dilution problem poor fuel quality is most apparent when the fuel has trouble igniting, you could see a vapor coming out of the right engine but no combustion.
all' 83% Aj il DECU cancella la sequenza se cala la pressione nel condotto di scarico. Il carburante nel circuito viene drenato all'esterno per vuotare l'impianto R/H.
The Tornado, if only they design it to be carrier operable, it might be at par with the American F-14Tomcat. Its performance numbers is identical to the Tomcat
Fine British engineering with the afterburner... I mean reheat... That Olympus was sketchy... I mean dodgy... Couldn't tell from this angle or sound what was going on with the rest of the engine. Those Germans had some pretty gutsy Kahuna's to take it like that knowing they might get an afterburner stall at any time.
@@adventurekid9242 Lol so Rolls Royce engines are shit are they, I think you might want to have a look over their record, this could be servicing, a fuel issue, not necessarily anything to do with the engine!
Can anyone tell me what function the intake looking protrusion at the bottom the vertical stabilizer on the tornado serves? I can’t find an explanation anywhere.
At 4:40 the right engine looks less bright, orange v.s. yellow. Ignitors or fuel nozzles / fuel flow / pressure ? Do you know that the Tornado has average 60 hrs of maintenance per flight hour? Initially it was 35, now it is 60, due the agening fleet. Want to learn to be an aircraft mechanic? Go to the Luftwaffe. Allways something to do and good meals!
They are going to buy a fleet of typhoons to replace the mighty Tornado. But it was controversial at first since someone suggested F-18. putting at risk lots of jobs.
Got really worried about the right engine afterburner. It was letting off a lot of white smoke which I thin is oil and then seemed to suck in those fumes😨😨😨😳
When i saw the Tornado's ignition failure of the 2. Afterburner....i was like "typical Luftwaffe today". Actually less than 10% of the Luftwaffe's Aircraft is in flying conditions. and not a single Submarine.
Don’t feel bad. The US doesn’t have a sub in flying condition either.

@Moravcik 25 - same thing the governor of California did, spent the infrastructure budget on legal aid for illegal immigrants. Now California's roads are crumbling and the state is going broke feeding all the illegals.
So much drivel ... Reminds me of two of the stupider headlines one could read in the "news": "Three out of four Eurofighter delivered to the Luftwaffe in 2017 were so defective, they couldnt be used !!!" Well, first of all, the LW had only gotten 4 EFs that year. The „functioning“ one was the last of the regular EF tranche 3. The other 3 were replacements for some aircraft lost in the last 2 decades. As EADS etc had just developed the new mainframe computer for the planned tranche 4, they asked the LW whether they wanted to try it out on these planes as testbeds, to iron out any problems. LW said sure, good idea. Great computers. Much faster than the old ones. Make the aircraft quite a bit deadlier. Only "problem": since the EF often fly in the same airspace as civilian liners, the new EFs with new onboard computers needed first to be certified by the civilian aviation authorities. That takes time (but saves time for the upcoming tranche 4 introduction). During that time, they can only fly in the confines of restricted military airspace (in peacetime, that is). So, in the official reports, they show up as non-operational, as you cant legally fly any operations with them. In sum, the LW got 4 great new aircraft from industry. And the headlines read "Shame! Disgrace! Only 1 out of 4 new EFs are operational!" You can't make that stuff up ... But it all led to the even more ridiculous claim that "In 2018, there were only 4 out of 140 Luftwaffe EF operational !!!!" Oh boy. That's the Bildzeitung for you. And lots of outlets bought that moronic story hook line and sinker. I mean, how stupid can you be, to believe such obvious drivel??? In reality the report by the Bundeswehr the Bild refered to did say 8 planes COMBAT READY at any given time. Bild halved that number and then "forgot" to mention that those planes are the planes of the QRF. They are standing fueled and armed in their sheds at the runway 24/7. 4 in the north, 4 in the south. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nOy1pynJe1s.html The pilots have 12 hours shifts, so at any moment only 4 are on actual standby, which is maybe what Bild tried to refer to. But the other pilots are next door and when a QRF flight goes up, they get woken up, just in case another trouble spot shows up, and their aircraft get readied by the techs (takes 20 min). There are also another 4 EF at each airbase in almost-as-high readyness to replace the QRF ones should one break down. In addition to these 8 national QRF (and 8 reserves), we also had another 4 on 24/7 ready stand by in the Baltics, too, as part of a NATO mission that were conveniently forgotten. Plus another 4 on reserve. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-q2yaGHrsn3o.html Makes 24 EFs ready for war within an hour or so. That number, by itself, is bigger than the idiotic 10% claimed above to be "ready to fly", even if one includes the whole Tornado fleet (>90) and moronically assumes none of them can go up ... Evidently, you don't want to keep all your aircraft at such a level of readiness. Doesn't mean that there werent some problems with the EF after years of cuts to the defense bugdet (until Putin invaded Crimea). But in 2018 around 45-50 % of the EF were operational at any time. At the lower end for the older tranche 1 aircraft (38 new tranche 4 replacements planned for the 23-25 timeframe), and at the higher for the newer t2+3 EFs. Thanks to increased military spending (2013: 34 billion EUR, 2020: 50 billion EUR) this has improved to around 70 % for EFs early 2020 pre Corona which is actually a very good number considering that Germany has much higher safety requirements (in peace time) than most other countries. It had dropped to 60 % due to the pandemic preventing some legally required maintenance checks (esp by limiting travel of civilian specialists from Airbus), but numbers are improving again. *** Yes, the Tornados are getting old and are becoming less and less reliable. For them, 50% availability is actually a good number. Which is why they will be replaced soonish with some new EFs and, depending on how the US + German elections go, with 45 Super Hornets/Growlers. *** BTW, all 6 German subs are operational again (and have been for quite a while). Germany will get another 2 improved ones (U212 CD), as soon as Norway finally makes up its mind ... esut.de/en/2020/04/meldungen/20366/aller-guten-dinge-sind-hoffentlich-drei-deutsch-norwegisches-u-bootprojekt-u212cd/
Tornado engines do not have a "Spark Plug" for the afterburner. They blow the combustion chamber flame through the turbine to light the afterburner. This technique ist used in order to prevent heat seeking missles from locking on.
@@NutzerYOu No offence, just to understand... There is not enough hot air produced by these two engines to "light a candle" for heat seeking missiles, but a spark plug will do the difference to ruin the pilots' day? Really?
Shit I wouldn't Have Still Gone After That..?? Lovely Audio However, Mr Soeberg.. 👍 Most Important I Believe That, If Your Going To At Least Attempt Replicate These Chest Thuddering Sounds That These Glorious Engines Produce For Your Audience.. Your Videos Come Over Beautifully Mr Soeberg Via My Audio Sytem, By Which I Designed And Built Myself.. My 17 Inch Subwoofer Driver Is In Heaven. 🔈🔉🔊 😁 lol
@@Dagowly83 Not exactly, most afterburners, when canceled, dump the manifold through a pencil drain out the bottom of the jet. He didn't get a light and brought the throttle back to retry and it dumped the excess each time. If you noticed, the F-16 does have a pair of AB igniters with which to light the burner.
Tornado is one of the noisiest aircraft I've seen, especially when landing with reverse thrust. I hated those birds when trying to sleep in our tents next to the runway.
Well there was nothing wrong with those F-16s at all and the Tornado obviously has AB no light issues as if it really HAD been a problem with the engine they wouldn't have taken off. They would have gone back to idle and vacated the runway via a taxiway. You can see they retried to light the AB several times on that right engine. Somewhat click bait-y on the title there dude.
