One of the best recording of a takeoff from a passenger. No camera shake, not talking while recording, great shot provided by the limited window space. Great job!
I spent 50 years working as an avionics ground engineer, in that time the Boeing 747 was my favourite aircraft, I spent 35 years working on them, great aeroplane. And yes, they can take to the skys like a rocket, I’ve been on maintenance positioning flights and experienced a few take offs at minimum weight with no cargo, no passengers (apart from 20 to 30 engineers) on board and minimum fuel. With that little weight the 747 climbs very very quickly, and apparently handles really responsively. We arrived at our destination once and the first officer said “I’ve never seen a 747 in a turn banked over that steeply before” from the cabin windows all we could see was sky one side and ground the other. The next thing was getting a minimum weight 747 on the runway with the ground effect it’s not easy task apparently. Fun days, fun experiences.
@@Azmeyofficial I started at 16 as an apprentice aircraft electrician at Hawker Siddeley Aviation Kingston-upon-Thames in 1969, and ended as a CAA licensed avionics engineer in March 2020. And back in 1969 there were one or two wires and several bits of avionic gear in Harriers back then!
@@theodore8595 Indeed they do stress test wings. The aim is to test for fatigue life. Engineering metals all return to their unflexed position as long as the stress is within the elastic limit. However, the elastic limit is not fixed stress. over time it reduces until one day cracks will start to form and eventually, yep, the engines will fall off. That's if the whole wing hasn't fallen off first. There is a video on YT of a fire bomber making a run on a fire and tragically both wings broke off and killed the crew. It would seem this was an old aircraft that had a poor history of inspections for stress cracking. Very tragic.

You're not just bouncing off of a pothole or speed bump by an inch-or-so, but rather descended several _feet_ each time! It's enough to get me to jump immediately to worst-case scenarios. O_o;
You aren’t usually bouncing several feet... next time you’re a passenger in a car, note how much you move around just moving a few inches over a bump. Even moderate turbulence generally means moving less than a foot... severe turbulence is a few feet but even most pilots never experience that in their career.

Anyone complaining about the “rocket” title clearly doesn’t understand the 747 general long takeoff 🛫 requirements. This 747 DID rotate into the sky amazingly fast due to the light fuel load... and got to V1 in almost record time. Awesome vid ... just awesome 👏🏻
I have had the privilege of working on many 747's and have performed countless modifications and repairs on them and the sheer size of that aircraft and how much fuel, luggage, and number of people they can hold, and are the most beautiful thing to watch take off.
In 1988 - 1989, at Boeing in Seattle and Everett WA, I was a Flight Test crew member for the 747-400 FAA certification. I was assigned to RT-451, with the Rolls-Royce RB211-524G engines, as an instrumentation engineer. The job we had was to operate and maintain the data collection system so that the aeronautical brains could take all of the flight test data and analyze it. This required me to fly aboard on test flights, which made the job very memorable. Those Rolls engines put out solid thrust for takeoff with 58,000 lbf thrust each x 4 engines for over 230,000 lbf total. I was amazed by the acceleration of a machine as big as the 747-400. That was the highlight of my working years. There were many days I would have done with no pay.

Even though the plane may not be fully loaded, it is still a very heavy aircraft regardless. It is amazing how much thrust those engines can generate at such short distances to get that big bird in the air. Love the engineering behind such aircraft.

Wow! I have *never* seen leading edge slats extend/retract like that. I'm so accustomed to the leading edge extending out and down. That was really cool.
People comment "thank you for no music" and I'm like "there is music! Just depends on what you think music sounds like". The music is the sound those Rolls Royce engines (I pls correct that spelling if I'm wron)
@@gastondraco5906 Jet powered drag cars have plenty of thrust but don't fly, so thrust really isn't the answer to getting into the air. The word you're looking for is "lift". Lift is the force that pushes a plane into the air. Thrust only serves to keep it moving so the wings can continue generating lift. NoW wAkE tHe FuCk Up.
It sounds silly, but they have a sound that to me is comforting, and reliable. Also like they are not really working very hard, - no strain sounds coming from them.
I'm with you. I first had that impression on my first flight on the remarkable Lockheed L-1011, packing three Rolls Royce RB-211s. Different engines, of course, but the sound, just ahead of the wing, gave me that same feeling. Never felt that way previously on a jet, my aural "gold standard" being the four Allison 501D's on the Electra. Talk about music...
The 747 was always amazing to watch, taking off in half the runway as many smaller planes, massive wing and flap area allowed it to float like a feather.
@@MrJest2 yeah I figured! Last week I flew in a Diamond DA20 on the right seat for the first time (first time flying since like 15 years - I'm 26 now) and it was really interesting. Putting in flaps gets you seated so much different (angle of the dangle) than without on approach.
I flew on a B747 once in my life so far. From LHR to Vancouver in 2009. I also flew once on a IL86 (Istanbul to Moscow in 2006) and A380 (Toronto to Dubai in 2019). Great memories.
I wish I had a chance to fly on more 747's in the past,all series,before they were removed from most airline's fleets by 2020 and 2021. It was always a fun flight to be on one of those aircraft.
@@Spladoinkal No Groovemaster2k,as far as I can tell and doing some research on it,very few airlines have the passenger version of 747 in their fleets anymore and they have all been sadly terminated,except maybe some airlines based in China and nearby countries,who still use the most current version. No airline in the United States flies them anymore.British Airways,QANTAS and Air New Zealand retired all of their 747-400's in the last 5 years. It's sad to think you never will see them in the skies again,let alone possibly fly on one on a vacation somewhere.I think some air freight companies still fly them here and there,although I do not know of the current list.If you see one in the skies some day soon,consider yourself lucky.
In the early years of the 747, worked for an independent machine shop machining internal wing pivot joints for the flaps and slats. Our 5 axis machine was two story building tall, a site to see ,machining multiple parts all at the same time on a flatbed. Was a great education I'll never forget it.
Back in 1968 I flew an Air Canada 727 from New York to Montreal - it had just been delivered too the airline. The pilots told us that and that we should expect a short flight. I wondered what they meant by that. What they meant was, they took the 727 out onto the runway, got it to the diffuser wall, ran the engines up so far the plane was shaking, went brakes-off, ran it down the runway and pulled it up in the sharpest climb I've ever experienced in a commercial plane.
Wow, that's very impressive! Hat's off to the pilots. I remember having to do this same type of take-off from John Wayne International Airport. I think they called this at the time the "sling-shot" takeoff.
@@SH-zz2ef Well, English prof, thank you but it's singular as it is MY hat I speaking of and no one else. Maybe you should go onto the grammar forums were it most suits you.
Fantastic takeoff. I've flown 747s numerous times but the most memorable was a Honolulu to SF flight on a Quantas 747-SP. A pure hot-rod that one was. My new favorite is the 787 Dreamliner...pure comfort.
Watched a few of these takeoffs. Always blown away at the level of power that is displayed when they crank em up' This case in particular. I just couldn't believe how quickly that monster was airborne from a dead stop
That's because it's not going all the way to Europe, it's going to Curacao, which is only a short distance away. Because it's not going far, it doesn't have to carry as much fuel, which means it saves tons of weight.... and the result is a very short takeoff roll.
ImmortalSynn ok thanks for the info. Indeed fuel adds so much weight for an aircraft, plus since it's a short flight I assume passengers don't have too many checked in baggage as well.
I watch this and I get chills every time!!!!! I think the 747 is my favourite plane as well. It is so impressiver to see something of such great size get off the ground within seconds when it needs to. Beautiful
Always amazed, I have flown for business all over the world. When those big Turbo Fans spool up to their maximum power I'm always thankful too the engineers, because if they don't deliver we are all dead. As an engineer myself I often wish I didn't know so much!!!!!
That was impressive! Specially if we consider the plane is full of everything, passengers, fuel, luggage...WOW! That was incredibly short take Off!! Fascinating and Awesome!! 747 is the King of the airplanes👍👏👏👏
Josue Cerquieira The fuel is NOT full. That’s why passengers have to change flights sooner. The plane cannot reach its max range. Or, it would explode on that mountain.
@@arcenciel2968 "passengers have to change flights sooner"?? that 747 is coming straight to Europe from where it took off I would imagine it's pretty full of fuel or very close to it, I don't think 747's are used on any short route flights...nevertheless, whether full or half full of fuel still a very powerful take off considering everything
I imagine all planes had to push the hardest to go over the mountain from such short runway. 747 used to be my favorite until I worked with 777 in Everett, WA. Loved those tri landing gears.
Eargasm! Love the sounds of those 747. I remember flying one back when I was 27 when I flew to Japan from Manila via Philippine Airlines. I think that is back in 2008 or 2009...
The 747 is the most beautiful aircraft ever built. The four engines, upper deck, and passenger seats that go all the way up to the nose of the airplane, underneath the flight deck, all make this luxury liner of the skies. Beautiful plane! 👌

Wow! I have *never* seen leading edge slats extend/retract like that. I'm so accustomed to the leading edge extending out and down. That was really cool.
Krueger flap
They are not slats.
@@rtbrtb_dutchy4183What do you call them?
taking off in about 20 seconds, thats really impressive
People comment "thank you for no music" and I'm like "there is music! Just depends on what you think music sounds like".
The music is the sound those Rolls Royce engines (I pls correct that spelling if I'm wron)
A masterful takeoff. KLM always impresses!
I love being on a plane when it takes off. It's like riding on a roller coaster.
Desde 🇨🇴. Hermoso escuchar ese ruido. Ufffff lo q hace la ingeniería.....
I believe this to be the absolute best takeoff video on UA-cam.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I just love hearing those powerful engines ramp up for take off!
It still twats my head how this machine gets off the ground. The size of it!
Bernoulli’s principle of lift. 😉
An Airbus A380 is even a larger aircraft.
It’s called thrust produced by turbine engines...been happening for many many decades now wake the fuck up
@@gastondraco5906 Jet powered drag cars have plenty of thrust but don't fly, so thrust really isn't the answer to getting into the air. The word you're looking for is "lift". Lift is the force that pushes a plane into the air. Thrust only serves to keep it moving so the wings can continue generating lift. NoW wAkE tHe FuCk Up.
@@IowaSheepdog It's not just Bernoulli. It's also angle of attack.
the sound of those engine it does something to me!!!!!! I love it!!!
It sounds silly, but they have a sound that to me is comforting, and reliable. Also like they are not really working very hard, - no strain sounds coming from them.
I'm with you. I first had that impression on my first flight on the remarkable Lockheed L-1011, packing three Rolls Royce RB-211s. Different engines, of course, but the sound, just ahead of the wing, gave me that same feeling. Never felt that way previously on a jet, my aural "gold standard" being the four Allison 501D's on the Electra. Talk about music...
dfk4500 Power beyond Power!
dfk4500 yea it propels you forward
And they're made right here in Cincinnati, Ohio :)
This makes me want to go on vacation! My favorite airplane!
To bad KLM doesn't operate the 747 on St. Maarten anymore
Ditto!!!
Brilliant video. Poetry in motion, with sound of 4 engines on full power. And the wing flex with the engines.
You have to love the sight of all the skittles already lined up against the fence ready to be blown over when those mighty engines spool up.
Who is watching this video to listen to the sound of the engines!
Kpomal productions I am
it is i.
Me!
🖐
Kpomal productions Hello there! Me too.
The 747 was always amazing to watch, taking off in half the runway as many smaller planes, massive wing and flap area allowed it to float like a feather.
The shrieking majestic queen of the skies....the power and the glory. Boeing at it’s best.
Pretty impressive take-off as far as they go. I could watch this kind of stuff all day!
I'm on track to transition to the 747 next year...fingers crossed!
Nice smooth beautiful clean takeoff! Awesome job pilots!
Crazy to think that those engines, powerful as they are, are puny compared to a GE90 on a 777
and at 4:50 it sounds like they let them go down to idle! crazy.
absolutely roaring at TO power and then almost silent.
@@jodelboy You feel it, too - the plane slows drastically and you lurch forward on inertia. :-)
@@MrJest2 yeah I figured!
Last week I flew in a Diamond DA20 on the right seat for the first time (first time flying since like 15 years - I'm 26 now) and it was really interesting. Putting in flaps gets you seated so much different (angle of the dangle) than without on approach.
Like this? ua-cam.com/video/vamypKla9i4/v-deo.html
It's really powerful!
@@jodelboy yeah there's a speed limit of 250 kts under 10000 ft for noise purposes so once they get a good haul going, they have to slow down
One of the most beautiful sounds in the world!! God I love aviation!!
sound? music..for plane lovers
I flew on a B747 once in my life so far. From LHR to Vancouver in 2009. I also flew once on a IL86 (Istanbul to Moscow in 2006) and A380 (Toronto to Dubai in 2019). Great memories.
Great video, and even better cropping. Perfect length with perfect starting and stopping spots. Pay attention UA-camrs!
Beautiful and quick takeoff .I love it!!!!👍
Love seeing them big bird wings tilt up as they get faster, brilliant stuff👍👍👍
I wish I had a chance to fly on more 747's in the past,all series,before they were removed from most airline's fleets by 2020 and 2021. It was always a fun flight to be on one of those aircraft.
Aren't they still used on long, over seas flights?
@@Spladoinkal No Groovemaster2k,as far as I can tell and doing some research on it,very few airlines have the passenger version of 747 in their fleets anymore and they have all been sadly terminated,except maybe some airlines based in China and nearby countries,who still use the most current version. No airline in the United States flies them anymore.British Airways,QANTAS and Air New Zealand retired all of their 747-400's in the last 5 years. It's sad to think you never will see them in the skies again,let alone possibly fly on one on a vacation somewhere.I think some air freight companies still fly them here and there,although I do not know of the current list.If you see one in the skies some day soon,consider yourself lucky.
@@charliecrane8537 aww that's sad
I used to work at Manchester Airport and I have worked there for 20yrs on and off I still get so amazed how the aircraft takes off subhaanallah ❤️❤️❤️
I think you are Pakistani
Beautiful!
And I love the JET BLAST videos too from takeoffs at this same airport. ❤❤❤❤❤
Wow, that’s getting airborne and gaining altitude in a no-nonsense manner! 🤙
The very beautiful 747. Good on you KLM.
The queen of the skies. The 747 is timeless.
Beautiful engines, beautiful wing, beautiful plane and beautiful view. ❤ Im so jealous right now 😤😞
In the early years of the 747, worked for an independent machine shop machining internal wing pivot joints for the flaps and slats. Our 5 axis machine was two story building tall, a site to see ,machining multiple parts all at the same time on a flatbed. Was a great education I'll never forget it.
Back in 1968 I flew an Air Canada 727 from New York to Montreal - it had just been delivered too the airline. The pilots told us that and that we should expect a short flight. I wondered what they meant by that. What they meant was, they took the 727 out onto the runway, got it to the diffuser wall, ran the engines up so far the plane was shaking, went brakes-off, ran it down the runway and pulled it up in the sharpest climb I've ever experienced in a commercial plane.
That looks terrifying watch the wing / engine flop around like that 3:44
fr
Wow, that's very impressive! Hat's off to the pilots. I remember having to do this same type of take-off from John Wayne International Airport. I think they called this at the time the "sling-shot" takeoff.
@@SH-zz2ef Well, English prof, thank you but it's singular as it is MY hat I speaking of and no one else.
Maybe you should go onto the grammar forums were it most suits you.
Fantastic takeoff. I've flown 747s numerous times but the most memorable was a Honolulu to SF flight on a Quantas 747-SP. A pure hot-rod that one was. My new favorite is the 787 Dreamliner...pure comfort.
Watched a few of these takeoffs. Always blown away at the level of power that is displayed when they crank em up' This case in particular. I just couldn't believe how quickly that monster was airborne from a dead stop
It never ceases to amaze me how they can get so high in such a relatively short space of time! And PS them Engines are a triumph of Human Engineering!
Wow, that was one of the shortest 747 takeoffs I have ever seen.
That's because it's not going all the way to Europe, it's going to Curacao, which is only a short distance away. Because it's not going far, it doesn't have to carry as much fuel, which means it saves tons of weight.... and the result is a very short takeoff roll.
Mark Irwin
ImmortalSynn ok thanks for the info. Indeed fuel adds so much weight for an aircraft, plus since it's a short flight I assume passengers don't have too many checked in baggage as well.
Mark Irwin Indeed in about 23 seconds only...
Whats it made of...rubber
From TOGA to rotation in 20sec!! Engines nudge to stable 2:51
TOGA 2:58
Rotation 3:18
I watch this and I get chills every time!!!!! I think the 747 is my favourite plane as well. It is so impressiver to see something of such great size get off the ground within seconds when it needs to. Beautiful
Always amazed, I have flown for business all over the world. When those big Turbo Fans spool up to their maximum power I'm always thankful too the engineers, because if they don't deliver we are all dead. As an engineer myself I often wish I didn't know so much!!!!!
One of the best take offs I've seen!
sydmmr1985 8

Somebody should stick a No-U-Turn sign at the end of that runway on April 1st just to freak the pilots out.
Felt like being on the KLM flight ✈️fabulous
That was impressive! Specially if we consider the plane is full of everything, passengers, fuel, luggage...WOW! That was incredibly short take Off!! Fascinating and Awesome!! 747 is the King of the airplanes👍👏👏👏
Josue Cerquieira The fuel is NOT full. That’s why passengers have to change flights sooner. The plane cannot reach its max range. Or, it would explode on that mountain.
@@arcenciel2968 "passengers have to change flights sooner"?? that 747 is coming straight to Europe from where it took off I would imagine it's pretty full of fuel or very close to it, I don't think 747's are used on any short route flights...nevertheless, whether full or half full of fuel still a very powerful take off considering everything
I imagine all planes had to push the hardest to go over the mountain from such short runway. 747 used to be my favorite until I worked with 777 in Everett, WA. Loved those tri landing gears.
Eargasm! Love the sounds of those 747. I remember flying one back when I was 27 when I flew to Japan from Manila via Philippine Airlines. I think that is back in 2008 or 2009...
Eye level with the clouds in 4 minutes very impressive
This has to be the fastest a 747 took off in history.it literally took 15 seconds to be airborne.I can't believe it.
I can almost feel the G-force just by watching the takeoff!☺️
The 747 is the most beautiful aircraft ever built. The four engines, upper deck, and passenger seats that go all the way up to the nose of the airplane, underneath the flight deck, all make this luxury liner of the skies. Beautiful plane! 👌
excellent job filming,and I do miss Tom's Sunset Bar and St Maarten beautiful island with beautiful people.
