i take plane insanely just because of my job needs and mileages......:) Never noticed before that aeroplane is one of the ultimate attainment invention of mankind,thanks Hacki.
Isn't the voice of the flight attendant so lovely.. Really sweet. "And to all Singaporeans and residents of Singapore, a warm welcome home." She couldn't have said it any better... Singapore Airlines is definitely one if not the best airline in the world!
Just awsome video. Macnificient view. From ther best airline in the world. I think video must be taken from the bussiness class seats. Smooth landing i must say...
Yup. The air in that case has a lot of moisture already. As the air flows over the curved shape of the wing, the pressure drops enough that and lifts it into the air. That pressure drop also cools the air a lot. When the air cools below the dewpoint temp, it condenses into a cloud over the wing!
The wet conditions really make you appreciate the air brakes! At 3:36, after the thrust reversers had been deployed, you see the air and moisture being propelled forward. Amazing! I previously thought the brake produced by the engines is much more passive than that.
quality didnt suck, yeah wasnt as good as this one. BUT still pretty decent. you captured the noises of an aircraft in the lading/taxi process pretty good
your lucky to get on an SIA's 747. i think i've only ever been on it once, out of the 5-6 times or so I've travelled with them. i always keep getting the 777's ! Damn, lol. but to watch a plane land ... is watching one of mankind's greatest feats.
i think you might be confusing the spoilers with the flaps. The flaps are what are used to gain lift during low speed conditions and are also used during takeoff as well as landing (to increase drag). The spoilers however just cause air to flow over the wing which forces the plane to stay on the ground during landing.
Last time I flew on a 747 was in August 14, 2006. Back then, I didnt know that RU-vid even existed, and only a few months before, I knew Yahoo videos and Google Videos were a thing, so didnt get the idea of even filming a flight video.
@sidhanthmelvani The pilot doesn't do that. That is the on-board computer retracting the leading edge Krueger-flaps to prevent them from getting destroyed by the reverse thrust. When reverse thrust is cancelled, they extend again, in case the pilot wants to go-around.
The slats stop the plane from lifting off the ground when it lands. It provides a downforce on the wing which holds the plane down on the runway. Try it for urself. When ur driving, stick ur hand out of the window and point it down like the slats. It'll tend to go down!
@Techno04335 Yes, unfortunately so. :( They might be gone by the end of this year. SIN-NRT-LAX will become an A380 from March, which leaves only SIN-FRA-JFK as the sole B747-400 flight, with occasional services to Melbourne and such.
It is to provide a clearance for the reverse thrust airflow from being obsructed by the leading edge of the wing and to protect the slats from debries(FOD).
That is a logical explanation. But the thing is, the airlines requires the electronic devices to be switched off. Not kept away. Some people don't exactly keep their devices even though its switched off.
I always wondered how an airplane slowed down so quickly upon touchdown. I always hear the engines reverse thrust but never knew how they did it; now I got to see it!
meh, the feeling on a 747 just feels better... also, the seating arrangement of 2-5-2 (or 3-5-3, i think?) means my whole family can get the middle seats ... haha..
Ultra-high humidity ... you can see they must have had pretty good rainfall just previous from the spray kicked up when the engines go to reverse thrust ...
@EasternMerchant ohh and you forgot boeing also builds way more then airbus( I don't mean planes I mean stuff like satilites, missles, bombs, military vehicles, rockets, space shuttle.) soooo yeah.
Actually you're both wrong. It has nothing to do with electronic devices "emitting" anything. You're supposed to stow them during critical phases of flight (takeoff and landing) so they don't become projectiles in the event of a crash or hard emergency landing. Great video, by the way. =)
14 people missed the like button. I should try Singapore Airlines, i didn't know they are so courteous and informative, 'Welcome to Singapore ladies and gentlements, for Singaporeans and Singapore resident, welcome back home. Outr local time is 10 minutes past 7 in the morning and (can't hear date) and the temperature is 25 degree Celsius and (something) farenheit....and on and on." wow.
ahh u see. The captain was going for a smooth landing, unfortunately the plane wouldnt touch down. You can see the plane hovers above the runway for quite some time. He misses the TDZ (touch down zone) and therefore usually would apply a go around. Instead he manages to slam the plane on to the runway, it looks like the plane was going too fast and nearly had a tail strike whilst flaring. He then had to apply full reverse thrust to slow the plane down
It rains almost 6 months in a year in that region. They all get used taking off and landing in the rain. That is why most of the world best pilots are working for the airlines like SQ, CX, MY, TG. Hardly ever hear about plane crash.
@@Hacki22 Thank You So presumably The Video is of SQ25 which actually originates from New York JFK via Frankfurt then on home to Singapore where you transfered onto a flight to Hong Kong?
