@@BatfinksWings They are called shear pins: "Due to the rate that the turbine is spinning in jet engines, if something happens and it seizes, a lot of force would get transferred to the wing which would cause it to fail. Instead, if the engine fails, the mount breaks just like this shear pin and the engine drops off the plane. It's much better to have no engine than no wing. "
It always amazes me to see our technology in action. I always wondered what people in the past would have thought about seeing this and knowing we can travel at 500 mph. It really is amazing if you think about it.
That's why relatively and speed are fascinating. You can't feel speed only acceleration. Inside a perfectly smooth stable plane you have no idea you're moving
@@alialias3913 people in the late 1800s were aware of this. What I was saying was the fastest mode of travel they had in the late 1800s was trains. My point was they would have been amazed at being able to not only fly but get that giant piece of metal in the air at speeds of 500 mph.
That engine is a beast. I had a great time on the KLM 777 flying AMS-TPE and back six years ago. Awesome crew on the way home, I will never forget it. It was a very special trip for us.
So proud that has part of my career with Boeing I delivered some software for this plane... it's a small contribution - about 10,000 lines of code for the IFLS (In Flight Library System)... but I'm still proud of it... got to wonder if those bits are still spinning around on a disk in these planes after 20 years...
Probably on some flash rom now. Even my BMW has a flash drive rather than a mechanical hard drive and it's a 2016. But either way, thanks for the hard work you contributed in creating these engineering masterpieces!
@@Paul_C Pro Tip: There are thousands of software developers at Boeing... and they all don't work in avionics or flight control... and many of us retired before the MAX...
PH-BQE, Ln:468 age now: 19.7 years old. turns 20 y.o. on 01/26/24 powerplants: GE90 engines x2, (aprox. 100,000 hp each.) so powerful they can suck the moisture out of the air. nice visual as they turned white. good video, thank you
@@ZiglerAviation This plane as I type is starting its decent into GYE in Ecuador. I just flew on the 777-300er, it also had the GE90, do not remember hearing the fan blade sound like this. It was really really quiet, just like fast moving air was outside the plane, nothing like this video.
More please. Honestly, if you would put this on a loop for three hours as an ASMR video, I would totally watch it, or at least fall asleep, listening to it lol.
That is awesome watching the engine do that! 0:24 I've never been able to see that in any flights i've been on. Watching the wings flap around, always freaks me out though haha
I find it relaxing. Think of the wings as your car's suspension, keeping the ride nice and smooth. They're supposed to move to adapt to the different flight forces.
airplane really is an engineering marvel look how fast the engine is, it makes air visible and it looks like the engine is about to fall because it is so wobbly but it is very nicely attached to it and will not fall
Самый интересный момент на 0:24. При увеличении тяги двигателя, из-за очень сильного разряжения на входе в воздухозаборник, в воздухе возникает конденсат и образуется что-то вроде тумана. Никогда бы не подумал, что подобные эффекты на гражданских двигателях вообще возможны! :)
The only factors that make this possible are humidity, temperature, and air pressure. Because the air flowing into the intake drops pressure so dramatically, the air condenses into the resulting “fog” even though it is extremely limited to the immediate air intake.
KLM's flight 589 is my favourite. Been on it many times. The return flight (KL590), though, is always a sad one. It means that my vacation is over and I have to get home and back to work.
Nice footage! I always love this technology, watching it does best. But it only works well as long as the maintenance and support work together.. Same for any other technological Marvel's.
I have a weird love/fear of flying. I freakout especially on takeoffs, and I'm not a huge fan of landings either. I wonder sometimes if we've gone too far with the speed and altitude to a point that makes improving safety basically impossible.
Those asking about how the engines don’t rip off. Keep in mind the laws of physics, the aircraft is moving along with the force (thrust) of the engine, so the stress is not as great as you might think. Now if the engines were running full throttle and the aircraft stayed stationary on the ground and did not move then the stress would be much worse.
@@JimBoIndy I meant the basic technology. The concept of axial /centrifugal compression, the fuel injection, expansion of gasses in the turbines, exhaust etc. What is happening now is add on to increase efficiency, power, reduction in size etc. ☺️☺️
Person from the past watching this video from the first time: “wow you guys still have interlaced video.” 😒 Me: “no, those are the screws.” Person from the past watching this video from the first time: 😮
