54:37 If you believe it or not, whenever you are crossing our country (region Lake of Zurich) I can identify your AN-22 planes merely by it's distinguished sound as on the index set here, only that it takes several minutes for the same sound change as here on final RW14, pitch change due to doppler effect. If people that are incidentally with me do not believe I take Flight Radar 24 to prove, surprise for them, I was alway right til now. I know that sound from my childhood, when IL-18 crossed our country, sounded quite similar. Unlike the western engine products!! Nice and interesting movie, thank you. Very special: the counter-rotating props !! And your multi-crew ops!! With the best seat for the RO. Safe flights !
Absolutely phenomenal video. Thanks for the insight on the inner workings of the AN-22. A fantastic plane for moving large loads of cargo. An extremely large crew necessary to fly this airplane apparently due to the complexity. I was amazed at the counter-rotating propellers. I have never seen an aircraft that utilizes that technology. Thanks so much for making this extremely informative video!
Russian aircraft are designed to feature reliability, rough field operating conditions, and simplicity. They also feature outstanding design for the intended mission. As a pilot, I like the old reliable instruments combined with a modern digital nav and radar suite. Old school instrumentation has nothing to do with the aircraft's flight characteristics or its performance. A great airplane, excellent crew and wonderful video. Well done.
Excellent video! Really beautiful and amazing machine. Appears to be much more complicated to operate than one would imagine. Lotta moving parts. Steam gauges.
Really enjoyed this! Biggest plane I have ever flown could be lost inside one of these. Fascinating to watch just how much it takes to fly such an enormous aircraft.
Love this raw-like video. No silly music, no commentary just the sound of the plane, environment and the crew chatter. Is it just me or does the Russian/Ukranian aircraft in general have more massive landing gear compared to aircraft made in Europe and US? Great video. Subbed! :)
Kjetil Jensen I know what you mean about the landing gear but if you look at another big old plane, such as the constellation, it’s gear looks gangly. Also the other big Russian cargo jets have multiple wheels, to spread the huge weight over a larger area and to allow them to land on softer ground. Peace.
Interesting crew dynamic. I'd love to know why so many things seem to be done differently in Russian aircraft compared to European and American types. i.e. Both pilots holding the controls - is one pilot only gently holding on? The radio operator - do the pilots listen to the radio frequencies? Does the radio operator direct the pilots or simply relay? If the pilots have a query of ATC do they have to go through the radio operator? The flight engineer setting the power levers - does he take direction from the crew? Does he have the authority to adjust for airspeed changes or is he simply told set X%? It's mystifying to what indeed!
It is the Ukrainian airplane and pilots Ukrainians. Ан- 22 "Анте́of й" is a soviet heavy turboprop sky truck the greatest in the world of turboprop airplane. Intended for transportation on large distances of heavy and large military equipment and troops, and also for десантирования parachute and landing the methods of the air landings. The first flight executed in 1965. 69 copies are serially produced, including two for прочностных tests. Used in ВВС of the USSR, continues to be used in ВВС of Russian FEDERATION and Ukrainian airline of "Antonov Airlines".
Bravo ! Merci Frères Russes pour ces prouesses que vous seuls saviez faire, à ce niveau, et à l'époque ! En plus ça vol encore "tip top" après combiens d'années de service !? Merci aussi à Air-clips, un abonné de plus
Does anyone know what the white canvas conceals on portside, to the left of the navigator's station? It looks like it's held on with Velcro and can be removed. There is a circle cut out to reveal only a single gauge on that panel.
LordLauderdale In those planes they still use a navigator and a flight engineer alongside the pilot and co-pilot. Not to mention that in a long flight, they may work in shifts, so additional crew might be present.
as a aircraft mech for 30 yrs , i actually would feel safer in the russian plane than boing or airbuss. so many computers are on board to fly the plane, altho redundant i still feel safer with a cable from the flight controls to the pilot controls. the goal is self flying planes so they can fire the pilot and flight crew. kinda scares me. 3 inflatable flight crew.
