Stig Shift. #13 (Aircraft maintenance Adventures) 

Funny! As soon as you said it I was correcting you :D no worries man, always appreciate the views inside & outside the birds, thanks for bringing us along and commenting as you go.

@@rogerneumann8105 never hesitate to correct me, I am not perfect even I get things incorrect time to time. Also, it would probably help if I write a script for myself, but all I do is just start talking when I would look at the images 😂

​​@@StigAviationNiCd batteries is a best choice to hazardous of Li ion and heavy of Pb gel I suppose.

Lithium is a newer technology than ni-cad. When lithium came out it has a higher energy density than ni-cad and no memory.

I appreciate it Jared, and don’t forget the popcorn 👌

@@StigAviation with tea, one must have some hobnobs to dunk or maybe a jaffa cake :))

I drink alcohol free beer while I enjoy his videos. Is that cheating?

Right on 👍🏻

I so agree. I only hope all AA techs have the same attitude.

Thank you so much, I really appreciate that.

I worked there and quit...because they didn't@@tompurvis1261

No need to brag about the 2 million.miler status. Seen this happen with alaska airlines and he was so annoying and thought he was so special and kept annoying all the other passengers. No one cares.

Absolutely fantastic addition of knowledge. Thank you very much.

They are extremely complicated machines.

I love working on cars too. If the job's done right! AlI the correct parts etc. I like to work on nearly anything realIy, garbage disposals. Locomotives. Anything. IF THE JOB'S DONE RIGHT. I like to machine parts too. I like it aIl.

Re: time. Yeah. Like shipbuilding. Everything's built in modules now tho. Piping, electrical etc. Everything hooked up and in place. Just weld modules together.

The big crosshead marine diesel/dual fuel (residual - NG) are the most efficient engines, running 53 - 54% LHV thermal efficiency now. UH OH! I pulled a Stig! I misspoke. The big new combined cycle units are the most efficient. Gas turbine/steam turbine. But it's not realIy just one engine. It's two, running in series. Gas turbine exhausts into a 2 or 3 stage heat recovery boiler which raises steam for a big induction steam turbine. Very efficient. Indeed there's a big GE H series turbine running in Japan now which is doing some 63 1/2 % LHV, the world record. Running gas turbines simple cycle as is done in planes (no other choice, unfortunately. Kinda hard to haul massive boilers & steam turbine generator's around. Tho the big Antonov Miyria did carry turbine rotors, boiler assy's etc. around before the Rooskie's blew her away) is very inefficient. Blasts waste heat out everywhere. Sir Frank Whittle realIy blew it there. That's life. lt is what it is. For many years, back in the day, Gas turbines would barely run themselves because the aux load is so hi. Compressor, lube oil pump, generator etc. etc. Additionally the part load efficiency efficiency of gas turbines is very poor, because the 1st stage turbine nozzle temp falls off so much. Which is why aircraft gas turbines are designed to run most efficiently at cruise (only part load) not at full load (takeoff) because the full load operating time is so short relative to cruise operating time, while power gas turbines are designed to run at max efficiency at (continuous) fulI load. The 2nd Thermodynamic Law is a bit__. So much so that we dam welI better get power generation and transmission, distribution etc. efficiency up. Way up or we're gonna boil ourselves right off the planet with alI the waste heat we're generating by the time everyone gets alI the power he wants and thinks he needs - for his table saw, router, lathe, milling machine, his wife's sewing machine, dishwasher etc. Cogeneration's gonna really have to take hold - Stirling Engines, fish farms, greenhouses, building heating etc. The 2nd Thermodynamic Law's a real bit__. I could go on and on. Love this stuff (BSME). DAG NABBIT! PulIed another '○□♤%%%^^○●¤**!@!! Stig: GIobal UHVDC node to node xmsn grids, ultra hi efficiency combined cycle units, fusion (which wilI have to employ the aforementioned combined cycle unit gas turbines runing closed cycle. Lo temp reject heat is no joke. Everyone in Madagascar, Zamboanga, Mongolia, you name it's gonna want his share of power. Global lo temp waste heat production wilI be tremendous if something's not done.

The Renton Washington factory cranks out a 737 in just over a day. It's incredible. But yes that's from assembling submodules. The wide bodies take a bit longer I think 5 or so days. Something like that.

Thank you so much Greg from the bottom of my heart. I’m humbled by your kind words and I’m honored to have you here much like I’m honored to have all these wonderful people here. I will do my best to show and teach and take you on these beautiful adventures. Cheers my friend.

🤣🤣🤣

I’m glad you got to experience that. Usually the airplanes I’m working on are already very dirty.

My pleasure! And thank you for being here

Mike, you have no idea how big of a smile that puts on my face knowing that you and your son can sit down and watch something together and share that moment. I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I’m glad I can provide entertainment and education, and bring a father and son together.

Same 😂

Thank you so much for being here Jake, I’m glad you’re enjoying it and I’m glad you were learning.

Pushbacks are definitely fun. I’ll try to get more footage of that on the next one.

@@StigAviation I love the tugs too!😊

they are tugs. We call them tugs.

Thank you Jeremy, that means a lot to me and I hope you did recover from your injuries. I’m glad this brings back fond memories, especially you working on such amazing classic aircraft. Keep that passion for Aviation live.

Thank you so much

You bet! Thank you for watching

Thank you very much Travis

You said it right my friend, you definitely need to love this job and this profession to be punished by the environment around you. Thank you for your service. 🫡

Thank you so much 😀

I completely agree! Can you imagine having Stig as your coworker? Or your manager/ supervisor? Better yet..... your training manager. Jsu working along side Stig would be SO FUN!!! What a great attitude! It would be hard to have a bad day at work if Stig was your coworker!

Thanks for watching! I appreciate you being here

Thank you so much for being here Erwin. I’m glad you’re enjoying it.

The changeover of the bottle happened so quick that I really don’t need to cap the aircraft side of the line. As soon as I had the old one out, the new one was sitting right behind me.

I am very happy you enjoyed it, I hope breakfast was good too 👍

Andre, I am very happy that this is helping you. I am so glad that I can contribute to your education. Don’t hesitate to ask questions.

I’m happy it can put you in the state of relaxation. I appreciate you being here.

Thank you Ryan, hope all is well in Arizona.

My pleasure!

Thanks so much!!

Of course I recognize your name, and I thank you for being here and watching. Cheers from LAX.

Thank you for watching Fiona

Yay! Thank you!🙏

@@StigAviation The sound the engine makes when it's being turned on and revving up... ahhh beautiful sound.. One thing I'd love though Stig, and maybe you can put in a good word to AA... make economy seats comfy for the 17 hour flight I'm about to take! lol

Thank you Aaron 👍

Thank you so much Mr. Chuck, glad to have you here

An amazing feeling walking underneath these Giants

I’m about halfway there (General and most of Airframe down) and these videos inspire me so much too. I would definitely recommend continuing to check out the A&P route 😄

@@Seth_Johns0n Thanks! Will do. Good luck on the rest of your schooling!

It’s a very interesting career. Make sure to do your research and don’t hesitate to ask questions.

My pleasure!

My pleasure!

I apologize about that, I meant to say amp hours, I made a corrective statement and pinned it. Sorry about that, I was talking too fast.

@@StigAviationAll good, no need to be so apologetic! Great videos btw!

My cats always want attention, and food 😂

It’s my absolute pleasure, and it’s an amazing feeling to appreciate these beautiful aircraft

Glad you like them!

Glad you enjoyed it!

And I’m still learning to this day, it never stops.

Much appreciated!

Awesome! Thank you!

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you

Thank you so much!

Thank you so much I appreciate you.

Many thanks sir. I appreciate you watching

Thank you very much!

Glad I could answer your question chuck

Many thanks!

Wow, thank you!

There’s a ton of equipment in there, but it’s all well organized

Thank you so much Allan.

I’m happy to hear that.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart Keith, I’m just happy I can share my love of Aviation with you and everybody else here

Thank you so so much for being here, thank you for taking time and watching and learning. I appreciate you.

It’s fun watching the evolution of all this technology.

I am happy to be of service Zack.

I think you’ll enjoy it a lot more, and it’s a lot more cleaner work. Think about it.

I’m glad you are enjoying it.

And it’s a privilege to have you here to enjoy it, thank you Craig

Glad you enjoyed it

Thank you so much Carlos

Thank you so much for the kind words I appreciate you

My pleasure Scott. I’ll keep the engine sounds all the time

Thank you so so much

Thank you so much Craig

It’s very handy to keep the wrenches like that, and we also used to service our bottles, but then they change that for us at my station.

Thank you very much and I’m glad you’re enjoying it

I’m very happy you enjoyed it

We are all learning everyday. Thank you for watching

Thank you kindly!

I appreciate that!

👍

Keep up the good studies my friend, your future is waiting for you

Glad you enjoyed it

Thank you very much Roger, and yes, indeed this is a fantastic place to work

Thank you so much Jesse

I’m very happy you enjoyed it Kurt, it’s quite incredible what they came up with to solve simple things

You should definitely book a trip on a 777, it’s solid as a rock. I think you would enjoy it.

Thank you very much! I appreciate you being here and coming along with me on these adventures

Glad you enjoyed it

Thank you so much Ahmed

Thank you so much. I appreciate that

Glad you like them!

Glad you enjoy it!

It is my absolute pleasure to take you along on these adventures and I appreciate you for watching

Thank you so much Robbie. I appreciate you so much for being here.

Thank you so much Tim, I am glad you are here and you are enjoying it. Definitely having another cuppa coffee.

Thank you so much Terry

It’s a little overwhelming if you see it the first time, but it all makes sense in my head

Thank you so much, my friend. I really appreciate that and one of these days I will put a video together of describing my career path and journey. But we have so much more to talk about when it comes to airplanes before I can talk about myself.

@@StigAviation amen. I’m here for the airplanes. I stay for the Stig. 🙂

👍

I am humbled by your generous words Scott thank you so so much

My pleasure 👍

Thank you so much and I’m glad you enjoyed it

Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for watching
