No wake, the ship isnt moving. The wingspan would take out the bridge, and a C-17 does not have a tail hook. So in reality, if the pilot were actually lucky enough to hit the deck, the right wing would be severed by the bridge and the aircraft would then spin off the deck into the ocean at near the same speed as touchdown.
VERY good simulation. It took me until after the landing to fully realize that this was just a simulation. There actually have been experimental landings of large aircraft on carriers, so I didn't completely dismiss it at first.
@@tomwilbur6439 Yes, real jets CAN reverse by using their reverse thrusters normally used during landing. I have seen a number of videos of large jets reversing for various reasons.
No arrester hook either. And it damn near stalled on approach with no way to go around for another try. Probably would have made one helluva splash when it hit the water I bet. Thanx.
Even more, it turned around and got into a parking spot without ripping it's wings off and/or gouging a huge hole in the island. Imagine what might have happened if it was fully loaded, landing or launching. Good thing it's a game simulation.
Congratulations to you beautiful parking lot of love and blessings to you and landing 🛬 safety i impressed with excellent presentation predict intuition divine power of your support 🤠 May God bless you 🙏💐👍 enjoyed your reading happy birthday princess 🥰 bless you
Not even the best thrust reversers could accomplish that. You might get her down, but you'd have to crane her off. Even if you had Jato rockets attached, and to the best of my knowledge the C-17 isn't designed or rated for those. That's if you could even find any. The lack of them is why the Blue Angels stopped doing the Fat Albert Jato takeoff demos. That and the new C-130s can make that climb on their own.
I think it's BS. A C-17 wouldn't be able to land and take off from an aircraft carrier. In any case, the US Navy has the Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey multi-mission, tiltrotor military aircraft with both VTOL and STOL capabilities.
Great video. It shows the incredible advances that have been made in "Photo Shop" technology. This video, like so many others, is a fake....but fun to watch. Don't believe half of what you see as it may well be simply a fabrication.
А что вы удивляетесь. Поставили энергоакомулятору( стояночного тормаза). С 500volvo или Mersede Benz 1844 ld. И окуратнинько притормаживая, усадили. Сей летательный аппарат, на корме авионосца. Главное тренировка. И не ссать.
Instead of a simulated C-17 carrier landing you could have shown actual footage of a C-130 landing on the USS Forrestal from October 1963. C-130 serial no. 149798 ("Look Ma, No Hook") still holds the record of the largest plane to ever land on an aircraft carrier: 29 Touch and Goes, 21 Landings and Unassisted Takeoffs.🤔
Yeah, I thought something was hokey when I see the ocean at the base of the carrier structure in the water LIT UP like with a search light. Agree with most of the comments below regarding the fallacy of this - and I spent YEARS in the IC, as an Army Reservist, working with Navy and Air Force folk, so I figure I learned SOMETHING of observational skills. Now, that said, if you want to hook me into watching more: LET ME SEE IT TAKE OFF FROM THE CARRIER!! THEN you might have something there! 😉t😅
That is a fligt simulator program the carrier is not underway which means there is no wind across the deck. That is a gaint mno-no for carrier flight operations.
Simulators like this don't count. The C-130 (to be picky, a KC-130 tanker version) ACTUALLY LANDED AND TOOK OFF FROM A CARRIER (USS Forestal) several times during some testing in the early 1960s. C-17 wings are too wide, even if it COULD manage the distance.
@@MrRockydee07 - You're talking about a stationary plane with a wingspan of 67 feet, giving it enough clearance from the Island on the USS Hornet and taking off and needing just 70 mph into the wind, compared with plane with a wingspan of almost 170 feet coming in that has a stall speed of 205 mph. And in case you didn't know it, those B-25's didn't land on the carrier, they were hoisted onto it by cranes at the Alameda Naval Air Station just South of Okland.
@@MrRockydee07 - Sorry, I misunderstood you. The way you worded it that made it sound like if a B-25 can do it, a C-17 can which some people actually believe because "I saw it on the Internet so it must be true!" Just read many of the other post which is why I added the "other BS" to show it's ridiculous to believe the video.
If .......IF it was possible, how the hell would they ever get it off. Not long enough for a takeoff with that plane, even with the catapult, which I think would rip itself apart trying to sling something that heavy. Just my opinion. Wasn't in the Navy, never been on an aircraft carrier. I was in the Air Force. Saw lots of C-130s come and go, saw a few C-5As, even saw a couple of Harriers. All were an amazing sight.
I still had to look at it. And I think they did a good job to make it look like it was real, but you know what when I saw the marines jump out of the aircraft that was really impressive to me
C-17 isn't equipped to HAVE arresting gear - and it would probably tear off if they DID try to add it. C-130 testing on the Forestall DID NOT EVEN TRY.
I watched the Marines. Special forces jump out of the aircraft is a jet aircraft and they jump out and they know how to catch it. But I never knew that you cut land this only carry and I never forget they landed. AC130 on the aircraft carried, refilled. Arm that gave an emergency munitions for a troops. In the field, AC130 landed on the carrot. And I think it was quite ambitious and it was accurate
