  • Three 492nd Fighter Squadron F-15E Strike Eagles leave RAF Lakenheath. Except one doesn't quite get that far. Incredible reactions from the third pilot as the aircraft was seconds away from V1 (take-off).

    Good video coverage. 2 things when I was in the Air Force. #1--we had a T-38 lose the transmission just after take off, lost all hydraulics and generators. Came back on battery, electric trim control, no landing gear. Messed up the lower fuselage but was back in service a month later. #2--saw a J85 engine self destruct in the test cell. Destroyed the building and seriously injured the technicians. Caused by using non standards bolts on some of the primary compressor blades. Bolts broke on high throttle setting throwing the turbine out of balance and catastrophic failure. Another failure comes to mind...a T-38 had an explosion in the left engine on take off, with resulting fire. Pilot managed to land and save the aircraft. Caused by crack in fuel line serving the afterburner. Upon ignition of afterburner leaking fuel also ignited. Aircraft was permanently taken out of service and salvaged for spare parts.

      Yup, when i was in the service (Air Force, I was a ground equipment mechanic) they were EXTREMELY strict about what hardware was to be used in the equipment. Makes sense considering the torques involved.

      Back in 1979 I was a flight Engineer on a C141-A Star Lifter during a 3 ship airdrop mission out of NAS North Island. We were the second to take off, only just prior to rotate speed the number three engine disintegrated. So now the third plane already in take roll had to figure what that sixty meter long flame was and decide to stop. Fortunately the Navy Fire Department was in line will with beginning of the runway and felt the blast wave and rolled before a call was put out. Just as we stopped they were right there. Other than the engine no damage to the airplane and all 109 jumpers (with there parachutes and gear on) and aircrew got out safely.

    The bright orange glow you see as takeoff roll is initiated is the afterburner igniting. On #3, you can see both afterburners ignite but then the left engine compressor stalls (increase of glow) and the pilot immediately brings both engines to idle, terminating afterburner (orange glow). The left engine may have flamed out (quit) or the compressor stall might have cleared and the engine remained running...only in idle.

    All these comments alluding to compressor stall and flameout. I did not hear any surge or compressor stall type sounds, so it was likely a simple afterburner blow out, which means the engine is running at mil power but the AB flame blew out. Looks like the nozzle began to close after the blowout, which it should do in mil power, but then opened up as the pilot initiated the abort.

    It's called a "flameout".
    an instance of the flame in the combustion chamber of a jet engine being extinguished, with a resultant loss of power.
    A "blowout" is when the jet engine self destructs.

    • @gort8203
      @gort8203 Рік тому +3

      A blowout is an afterburner blowout. That's what this likely was. The basic engine remained running at military power and the burner just blew out. The plane was in no danger and the abort was simply the correct procedure for early in the takeoff roll.

    That's a good time in the takeoff to abort; five seconds later might have been too late and you're committed to takeoff. I'm sure the F-15 would have no problem with this but you're not going to continue the mission with a defective engine. Take it back to the barn.

      The exhaust from the previous F-15E had blown off the runway already in the wind. Conditions are pretty cold there most of the year, which is nice, thick air for engines to breathe. It’s pretty rare for an F100-PW-229 to flame out. F-15E 97-220 is a later-built F-15E with F100-PW-229 motors. I looked up its tail code.

      V1 is the abort decision speed, past V1 you typically don't have enough runway left to stop before the end. Past V1 you're committed to take off, even if you need to turn around and land immediately . This applies to all aircraft, including the F15
      V1 - max abort speed
      Vr - rotation speed (liftoff)
      V2 - minimum climb speed after takeoff
