Just to clarify this is NOT dangerous in any way! Quite normal procedure, there is at least a 1,000ft vertical separation. This happens
on a daily basis with several aircraft worldwide! Nothing dangerous at all, just beautiful to see!
I was on-board a Norwegian 787 Dreamliner, EI-LNG from London Gatwick to New York JFK and for a good half an hour while across the Atlantic I had noticed we were catching up with other traffic. So I started filming and waited for it to come into sight... This is what I caught. I did a playback on flightradar24 after our arrival and from what I gather the Virgin flight was VS11 from Heathrow to Boston at 39,000ft while I was at 40,000ft in the Dreamliner.
A great sight, and one not missed by many on the aircraft! Caught lots of peoples attention also taking pictures and videos of it.

@ironflange 6 лет назад

I've passed another jet going the other way, and yes, that shows you really are hauling ass.

@RB747domme 6 лет назад

Shahriar Kabir The speed of Virgin Atlantic is however fast Gatwick is traveling, because that's where it is based. The A340, on the other hand, is probably traveling at roughly in the region of approximately close to, plus or minus a few km/h, a velocity which may exceed, by some margin, or possibly not, depending on whether they need to make up time, or not, as the case may be, a speed not too different from it's published average cruising speed, which, in the case of an A340 is, somewhere around .78M. Or thereabouts. Or not. I don't really know if I'm honest. I could Google it. But I can't be arsed. Now there's a thought, one could go on Google and look if one was really interested... In the time it took to reach this point in my comment, in fact.

@TheItsmegp46 9 лет назад

I remember reading a story a while back. A Boeing 747 took off from JFK bound for Paris France. It was followed by an Air France Concorde. The Concorde of course over took the 747 in short order because it was going 800 mph faster. Anyway, the Concorde landed first, passengers got off, luggage was removed. Then it was prepped for the return trip home. The Concorde was half way back to NYC when the 747 finally landed in Paris. This video reminded me of that story.

@TheItsmegp46 8 лет назад

+MrBreezY270 It was a story I read in some magazine many years ago, at least 20 years. The article made no mention of flight numbers. But I imagine that was a routine occurrence. The point was to illustrate the superiority of the Concorde's speed.

@rossdelacey9731 8 лет назад

+itsmegp46 I remember reading that story too. Sometimes it's just fun to contemplate. There was also one about a Citation X going downhill from Witchita KA to Singapore in the middle of the night, overtaking some cargo flights along the way at about 1 NM per minute. A 757 driver casually asked Center "What is that airplane passing us?" (10,000 feet higher and 60 knots faster.) "Sir, that is a Cessna!" Completely replete with an abundant lack of further information from ATC. (The story might have been embellished, though. I love it, nevertheless.) I even have my own. Borrowing a flight plan from a Commander 1000 to go from Auckland (NZ) to Wellington in a Beech76. The Commander pilots were nowhere to be seen at either end, yet they had done two practice circuits at a place called Palmerston North along the way.

@largol33t1 7 лет назад

I would agree to some degree but you can't compare 1948 to 2016! Even 10 years is a pretty significant change in plane design and technology. Imagine trying to tell Orville that the British and French built a passenger jet that could fly 100 people in comfort from New York City to London in barely 3 and a half hours... My dad has flown the Concorde only once and ironically, for the very reason it was built: to get a businessman across the Atlantic and back within the same day. However, it was a one way trip. He flew a BA 747 back to New York. They put him on the Concorde because he would be extremely late for the meeting. He said he was surprised that at mach 1, the windows get warm and glow orange around the edges! I guess it's because of the intense heat from the air rushing over the plane's body.

In his lifetime jet fighters were doing 500mph, and just a few years after he died, fighters had jets taking them to supersonic speeds, with the first jetliner Comet coming in also around that time at 40,000ft looking very much a modern machine. And no, the windows didn't glow orange. Don't talk bollocks.

@sam23696 7 лет назад

It's hard to gauge just how massive and impressive our planes are. The velocities they fly at, even though they are much slower then a Concorde, is truly hard to comprehend until you see it in a video like this. The only other example I could think of which would do a better job is when you see a plane travelling in the opposite direction below you, if you don't blink that is.

@nigahiga6400 9 лет назад

The A345 is what some call the modern day 747SP. Excellent range, used for what was the longest passenger flight in the world (SQ21/22), but slow sales due to losing out to the 777LR. Who knows, maybe in a few years they will be purchased by heads of state or rich celebrities as private jets.

@davidreed81 9 лет назад

Very cool video Rachael. Thanks. I worked for Boeing as an engineer for 41 years. My first airplane project was the 747 and the last was the Dreamliner. I really enjoy good airplane videos. By the way, the A340 was part of Airbus' attempt to design two airplanes with lots of commonality to each other, including using the same engines. The twin engine A330 was pretty successful as a competitor for high end 767 and MD-11, but the four engine A340 was a dog. It was supposed to be competition for the 777, but with the extra drag of four engines and other aerodynamic problems it failed miserably. Many A340 customers traded them in for 777's after only a few years in service. Boeing couldn't sell them and they ended up parked in the Arizona desert, probably forever.

@Dutchgguy1 9 лет назад

Thanks for this insight from an expert. I've heard several times that the A340 is not a very efficient aircraft.

@johanneshoffrichter3359 9 лет назад

Eric Janssen Yeah the four engine A340 was planned in a time when the ETOPS regulations for two engine planes were much stricter than they are today. Today, planes like the A330 and the B777-300ER are allowed to use routes that take them 240 or 330 flight minutes away from emergency runways. Airbus did not foresee that correctly when planning the A340. Hence the A340 can not compete with the two engine planes any more when it comes to efficiency.

@rayraufman7850 9 лет назад

Could'nt Airbus have seen this coming? Even Boeing is doing away with the 747,would be nice if they used 3 engines instead of 4

@tjp353 9 лет назад

David Reed There's more to it than that. The A330 & A340 were designed at the same time and share most of their structure, including the wings. At the time, ETOPS was a limiting factor on twin engined operations & Airbus used the tagline '4 engines 4 long haul' - they could fly direct, instead of always remaining no more than 120 minutes from a diversionary airport. It's direct flight ability made it an economical aircraft - until the 777 turned up a couple of years later & ETOPS was 'coincidently' increased to 180 minutes. The 777 was the first new design to be given 180 minutes ETOPS by the FAA. With the 777 being able to fly direct, most of the time, the A340 lost it's direct route advantage - removing the main thing that made it economical. The A330 is still in production & taking orders, with the 330NEO planned. All but the very largest future aircraft will be twins.

Take care and have a nice day.

@davidreed81 9 лет назад

Commercial airplanes in service don't fly as fast as they can go. They fly at a speed just below the point where the (shock) wave drag begins to ramp up rapidly due to supersonic flow over a portion of the wing. This maximizes range and keeps fuel consumption at optimum. Boeing still has the edge on Airbus regarding wing aerodynamics, and consequently the 787 has a higher cruising speed than the A340.

@TrainPlaneHub 9 лет назад

***** The dreamliner does fly average of mach. 85 faster than other aircraft.

@Dutchgguy1 9 лет назад

***** This is not correct. The cruising speed of the B787 is higher than the A340, in a situation like this the Dreamliner will pass a A340. The 787 is also capable to cruise at a higher altitude (visibly seen on this video), where the air is thinner.

@davidreed81 9 лет назад

Eric Janssen The cruise altitude for an airliner changes as they burn off fuel. The lighter the airplane gets the higher it can go and still get the necessary lift. Another consideration is the structural life of the fuselage. The higher the altitude the more stress on the structure, so the total life of the airframe is reduced by cruising at higher altitudes. The 787 definitely has better structure than any of the aluminum tube aircraft, so can fly higher. Over the life of the airplane the savings in fuel is huge.

@PlaneAF876 9 лет назад

rachaelmatt The 787 does fly faster than SOME other aircraft, but not all. You are correct that it can cruise at 0.85 mach but the 747-8, A350 and A380 are also able to do so (I think the latter 2 are 0.86 mach). In a real world scenario, optimal cruise speed is affected by weight and the range required. The only aircraft I've ever heard of having lower fuel burn at higher cruise speeds is the A380.

@97I30T 9 лет назад

@preachtome214 7 лет назад

Big jets of the same or approx. weight class fly 2,000 ft above each other heading the same direction. And smaller / midsize jets fly 3,000 ft to 8,760 ft below the big jets. A380 TOP, C5, C17, ANTNOW, KC air tankers, 747 ETC.. 2,000 FT INBETWEEN SPACE, AND 500 ft apart, left or right heading the direction BELOW. 777, A340, 787, MD 11, A330, 767 fly 3.000 ft to 5,000 ft below depending on the air traffic heading the same direction but 900 ft apart left or right. 757, 737 A320, and some others in that weight class fly way below the above big jets. They also have following distance rules mini is about 15 mins. if they follow too close then they will encounter turbulence. In fact all of their routing, turns, landing, take off, taxi, air speed, flying levels, following distance, etc... are giving to the pilots constantly by the air control towers.

You're right that it's 2,000 ft. separation if they're going the same way in most cases, but there are special rules in place to allow 1,000 ft. on some of the trans-oceanic routes, such as the one in this video.

Actually 787 is faster than the A340. But it depends on load and regulations and altitude. This was awesome anyway.

@sergiolaurencio7534 2 года назад

ways faster, the A350-600 IS 567 mph while the 787 can 593mph. both are many times after than a f1

That is very cool footage! I recall getting close to a 737 over Beijing but I wasn't fast enough to pull out my camera!

@xboxgamer9680 7 лет назад

I had 2 amasing experiances on a flight i was on from Alicante-Dublin. It was about 10pm but i could just make out the red and green wing lights of a plane flying over at around 37,000ft and then another was that i looked at towards the back and just passing behind my plane was another aircraft which looked to be an a320

Fantastic video......how exciting is air travel in those beautiful big birds!!

@tomtalker2000 9 лет назад

It's not everyday you see another jet that close to you outside your window. I wonder if they were both headed to the same destination or at least close range to each others destinations...? The Airbus has 4 engines and the Boeing only has two so that's saying something right there in terms of speed unless the Airbus wasn't at full throttle. What ever the case great great camera footage regardless...!!!

@TrainPlaneHub 9 лет назад

Virgin was bound for Boston, we were bound for New York. Number of engines doesn't count for much

@tomtalker2000 9 лет назад

Interesting awesome video footage though. Surely a once in a lifetime encounter I would think.

@TrainPlaneHub 9 лет назад

tomtalker2000 This is actually a more regular thing than people expect. I've seen it before, not quite that close but not far off. You can see races all the time looking on Flight Radar. There's often 2 side by side somewhere with just 1,000ft vertical separation.

@tomtalker2000 9 лет назад

Incredible. I have a deep passion for anything avian I've been in the avian field (birding wise) where it all started for the last 30yrs having both wild & exotic species experience. I've worked with everything from Warblers to Birds of Prey and Budgies to Macaws. I often tell folks that when you watch a soaring Bird of Prey even a Raven for that matter. Watch there primary wingtips as they soar because you will see them spread out like fingers on your hand. Sometimes they will be pointed other times there will be a deep spread in between each fingered wingtip. Other times there will be two tips up and two pointing downwards. Hold your hand out to your side with your thumb tucked in and 4 fingers spread apart and you'll get an idea of what i'm talking about when the soar. This method is EXACTLY what we copied from them with the wingtips we added onto jets. With them added onto a jet obviously less fuel is used up during a flight. And for birds that soar the way they adjust there fingered wingtips is very similar to a jet in how it affects the manner in which they soar on a thermal updraft. And whether or not they have to flap and exert the extra effort or simply adjust there wingtips to the thermal there soaring on. I'm sure you've also noticed how when planes land the flaps are deployed and lowered. Birds do the exact same thing EVERYONE of them minus Hummingbirds and Penguins to slow there flight upon a landing. It's truly amazing what we've copied from nature but we'll never perfect it the way they have.

Ive seen a United Boeing 777 really close my to my windows while flying from Frankfurt to Miami on a Lufthansa A380. Saw it over the coast of Canada. I wonder how the passengers on the 777 reacted to a big A380 outside their windows.

@tomtalker2000 3 года назад

It's not everyday you see a flight this close too you. But then again were looking through a camera at a zoomed angle. So it's rather "subjective" in terms of just how close the two jets actually were. Pretty awesome none the less.

@TrainPlaneHub 9 лет назад

+Devon Edwards You clearly know very little about aviation. So don't leave your uninformed, critical & petty opinions on my videos. In what way do you see danger in this video?

@DannielGamingVideosandAviation 9 лет назад

Devon Edwards at least 1000ft of vertical separation so there was no chance of these planes hitting. This happens 100s( if not 1000s) of times a day

@justwilly6778 9 лет назад

Thanks Danniel - I've researched that and found the same. rachaelmatt - are you a pilot?

@jotyers7845 9 лет назад

Virgin Atlantic should order 12 Boeing 777-300ER's ( They do make a very good profit $$$$$$ ) They should order some in my opinion they are wonderful Come on Virgin buy the 777's

@JundaComputersGmbH 9 лет назад

Nope, the Airbus A350-1000 has 25% lower fuel burn per seat than 777-300ER, and the A350 does not vanish without a trace like the 777 has done. With significantly better fuel consumption and better safety, the A350 XWB is a far better choice.

@jotyers7845 9 лет назад

You may be right but the front of the A350 looks hideous compared to the 777-300ER They are a Boeing , Airbus Airline Don't know what they would choose i guess the 777 as it can carry 332 Pasengers

@dukeofstradone 9 лет назад

By Virgin you mean Delta Airlines. They have ordered A330 neos and the new A350s. They will replace the 767s in their fleet.

@rajnirvan3336 9 лет назад

Sounds cool 777 300er would suit them replace the a340 and sadly 747 but still love both aircrafts

@DavidTheScientist 9 лет назад

JundaComputersGmbH I think your comment is unfair and unjustified. Yes, the A350 has lower fuel burn, and I have no doubt that it will likely offer a more pleasant flying experience also. But as so far, only about 5 A350s have been out flying, mostly for testing, your comment regarding safety is completely unfounded. The 777 has a superb safety record, one of the best for any commercial aircraft ever, and MH370 hasn't changed that until we know what happened, if we ever find out. And for the record, I prefer Airbus.

Wow, this was exciting! I've noticed that the Dreamliner flies at a higher altitude, and faster the the conventional aircraft, but never seen anything like this. I fllown Norwegian Dreamliner to Bangkok, and just loved the experience of this airplane, the service, and the affordable price!

@karlosbricks2413 4 года назад

The service ceiling is about the same for all these big airlines. It's just simply benefiting from better winds than the A340. Only real example of a "faster" subsonic hey would be the CV-990, and none of the them have flown in decades
