B2's fly over my place to get to Whiteman. Sometimes less than 3000 ft. Very cool. I live 35mi North and if the wind is right you can hear engine testing.
It’s likely doing over 150-160kts. Probably quite a bit over. Even with a headwind of 20kts that’s a ground speed of at least 240km/hr. That’s not slow. Stand next to nothing going that fast. Perspective is everything.
I was on a flight from Atlanta to Tallahassee and the plane was almost completely empty. The pilot announced that he didn’t even have that much cargo. It was the fastest takeoff I’ve ever experienced in a commercial jet. Holy smokes. Really was fun.
I remember flying LHR-DOH in an A340 and there were literally 7 pax in economy in total. Best flight I've ever experienced felt like I was flying in a massive private jet.
When I was in the USAF, I did a commercial flight from JFK NY to SEATAC on a UAL Super-DC 8. There were 7 passengers and 6 crew members onboard and more than 150 empty seats that morning. I hope they were hauling mail or cargo because they didn't make a thing off the passenger fares.
@@XJag9684 No, they don't on most airplanes. As soon as the main gear touches down, the pilot puts in rudder to straighter out the plane und let the nose gear touch down relatively straight. The main gear can handle a bit sideways action. The only airplane, that comes to mind right now, that can actually turn the main gears to land and roll in the crab angle, is the B-52.

Ok buddy, as a pilot I bow to your superior knowledge. I suppose there is always a chance it will be hit by a ufo, but the chance is minuscule. So to satisfy your pedantry, there is no chance of a stall in that configuration, angle of attack and aircraft mass. Satisfied?
0:39 Unless you know the speed through air, you can't estimate how close a plan is to a stall. Furthermore the flaps are down to produce extra lift at a slower speed. Be careful with 'almost' and to make sensation out of normal situations.
@@ghostrider-be9ek No but the fluid behaves more like gas, ie spreads everywhere around on any horizontal flat surface, since the flaps are also rubbed upon retraction/extraction. Then, when washed by the wind while the aircraft gains speed, it further spreads backward. After some time dust and thin particles in the air, especially not fully burnt organic particles upon startup concentrating around the wings will stick to the fluid. This makes the "contaminated" flaps (and other surfaces) look dirty and filthy very quick, like a whole mess occurred. The culprit? Yeah, the tiny leak was the source, but the number of days since the last wash are the ones to blame. Not saying a leak can be left unfixed, just scaling down the gravity, some spillage which is a small percent not enough to be a safety issue can make that entire wing black, if ground crew tells you you can still fly and gives you 30 more cycles before an unavoidable ground repair (preferably at one maintenence center of the company), check the last time the plane was washed if you don't feel at ease.. 😊
@@deeptanshubhowmik5073 some hints : listen to the engines spooling, that's not a take off roar, that's maintaining a fixed speed, meaning it's a flyby/low pass airstunt, not a take off. The A380 is big, very big. Don't be fooled by its seemingly lazy/slow attitude. I bet, if one applies motion photogrammetry, the resulting speed would be around 120kts. Yes, that's below the usual 140kts of a similar airliner on short final, but that A380 has no passengers, no cargo nor luggages, probably only 3 pilots onboard and around 5% fuel. In that case, its stalling speed wouldn't be around 112kts, it would be around 96kts. Also, just an hypothesis on my part, but you only performs a low speed low altitude stunt when you're facing the wind, as a rule. I don't know if everyone follows, but any pilot is well aware why he/she should; assuming it's the case and considering the weather, a photometry computation with ponderation (after eliminating perspective scalings) would increase the A380 airspeed by 10 or 20 kts... Stall speed is still very very far away. 👌
What a wrong title. The A380, like the 320, 330, 340 and 350, are designed not to stall. Pilots are properly trained on flight control laws, and handling at low speeds with the proper levels of automation, allowing the airplane to fly without the risk of stalling. This aircraft is not flying slower than at least 1.3 times the stall speed, which is a safe speed for these air-show maneuvers. Please do not misinform people.
@@piranhaofserengheti4878 AF447 was a completely different story. The probes were covered by ice, and they had no idea they were having an Unreliable Airspeed Situation, for which there are Memory Items to apply.
@@LBallina80 Yes the ice blocked probes and unreliable airspeed detected by the flight computer disengaged normal law mode which also turns off the stall protection, the computer can't tell if the aircraft is about to stall or not if it doesn't know the airspeed.
Clickbait. In this airshow, the Malaysian A380 were waaaayyy above the stalling speed, comparing its motion to the background cloudy sky. Around 114-121kts. But in an airshow, the A380 is empty, no cargo, a crew of 3 and approx 5% fuel, its stall speed is around 91kts (stall warning initiating around 100kts in that configuration). Plus, but we don't know for sure, assuming you can present the stunt in a steady 25kts headwind, you can make people believe an A380 can levitate magically........ 🙃 So, clickbait, but it's okay, 3 min of aviation, we forgive 😊
One rule of thumb to have an idea of an aircraft speed: The A/C length is 80meters. If the A/C takes 1 second to pass behind a pole (or any fixed point is the background) its speed has to be 80 meters per second. This is 288 km/h.
1:32 this plane landed at 90 degrees to the runway. Imagine being a passenger and seeing the runway you are actually touching down on on your left side as the plane lands sideways
When a plane is flying slow like that A 380 does it automatically go in the nose up configuration due to speed or are there control inputs tha make the plane fly like that?
You must do one input or the other. Ie, in loose configuration (no manual inputs and no autopilot), a plane this class loosing speed is *designed* to naturally nose dive. Well, "designed" is a big word, rather "you'll have to try hard" or "design the plane very different" to make the aircraft behave otherwise. The main wings... lift the entire plane, they must be put somewhere in the middle (longitudinal axis). You can't put them in the back unless you have very heavy things like engines behind them to even weights. You can't put them in front unless you have very heavy things like... engines in front to even weights. The horizontal stabilizers plays almost no role in lifting purpose. They are there to control pitch (attitude) and stabilize flight (hence why they are called horizontal and vertical stabilizers). If the plane loses speed without changing pitch, slowly, the angle of attack increases, ie the airflow hit the plane from an increased angle from below. This just virtually increases lift on main wings, which changes (almost) nothing on the aircraft attitude, but now the horizontal stabilizers starts to generate lift, and they are in the back... what happens is, they naturally lift the back of the plane which creates a nose down behavior, and the plane pitches down naturally (and loses even more altitude) To maintain the same altitude, you either had to gradually pull the yoke to increase lift from main wings while continually negating lift on horizontal stabilizers (beware, without speed maintain/increase, you'll stall shortly), or input the necessary autopilot modes and controls to maintain altitude (and preferably also the speed by letting the computer add slightly more thrust when required). The aircraft computers do the job of pulling the yoke and advancing the throttle at your place (and it generally does the job better than anyone of us nowadays), like a robot. That's why I said you must input the controls to produce a sustained nose up attitude, or configure autopilot to make said inputs at your place. Both cases are likely intentional, meaning what you see is something planned. Just for the context in case you missed, it's a Farnborough Airshow, in UK, the low pass part, at low speed. Plane is empty. Hope that helps.

It looks slow because of its size. It may be near the stall but there is sufficient speed. This is a carefully flown slow speed demo & no danger of stalling.
Just to let you know the A380 is a cat C (121-140kts) airplane regarding approach speed category just like the A320 or the B373 thanks to its amazing wing characteristic. So it was a normal approach speed on the video.
2:30 That plane was way to dirty. If i was a passenger, I would want to speak to the airline. Especially because it looked like there was rust on it too which was bad. There also could be metal fatigue.
I live just off the west approach lane into MSP airport. I’m a plane watcher and my location is ideal. There are few things as crazy looking as seeing an airliner flying at thirty degrees off the flight path as if it desperately needs an alignment. Then there is the “big plane falling from the sky” phenomenon. I don’t know how many times I held my breath as I was sure a 747 was going to drop into Edina after it stalled. The bigger the plane the slower it appears to be going.
That 380 was nowhere near its stall speed. How do you know its speed? Do you know the wind speed and direction? Do you know its ground speed? Do you know the density altitude on that takeoff?
i think you have never heard about Vref which will keep the aircraft secure while flying in low speed even flaring at that angle , to be clear A380 has a high gliding capability due to wider wings and flaps ( which add 30 % of wing surface )
The 200lr is my favourite triple seven. Take care of that old girl! The Malay 380 the pilots knew there were spotters down there and wanted to show off some skills
The crab landing has always made me nervous even when I used to fly 172's back in highschool...I always pictures the wheels being pointed into the wrong direction at touchdown and them bending due to the side load....
That A380 wasn’t going to stall. A former 747 pilot told me when landing a big jet there’s massive inertia. The air is pushing the plane up as the plane compresses it down.
No,the A380 always looks like it is stalling and doesnt have the horizontal speed (whether we are inside or outside during takeoff). Yet it has zero issues when flown correctly.
Aircraft always fly close to stall speed on final approach but with a clear defined margin, you know that, respectively you know better I am sure. Nevertheless, I always enjoy your videos.
That Jet2 captain taxiing the B738 should probably be fired for reckless taxiing. Generally not a good idea to destroy your nose wheel tires on departure.
i don't care if the Airbus was near stall speed or not, it's still a pretty sight. That Jet2 pilot tried Formula 1 but couldn't make the cut. And the crab landing pilot has cojones of titanium.
Seeing any A380 anytime in the air feels like it's stalling. I still cannot believe my eyes every time I see that beautiful giant flying.
I watched a C5 Galaxy come in on final. It looked like it was just floating there. Quite the sight to see.
B2's fly over my place to get to Whiteman. Sometimes less than 3000 ft. Very cool. I live 35mi North and if the wind is right you can hear engine testing.

Serious question. Do pilots get a write up for equipment neglect for doing that nose wheel damage?
1:37 this is beautiful flying on the pilot's part. smooth as silk.
I was on every one of these flights you posted
Was that an airshow or why did the A380 crew do that slow pass???
The crab landing has always made me nervous even when I used to fly 172's back in highschool...I always pictures the wheels being pointed into the wrong direction at touchdown and them bending due to the side load....
That A380 wasn’t going to stall. A former 747 pilot told me when landing a big jet there’s massive inertia. The air is pushing the plane up as the plane compresses it down.
I'm pretty sure the A380 has an stall warning alarm that goes off anywhere from three to five weeks before you get anywhere near its stall speed.
A380 almost stalls??? Come off it. This is an Airbus, with stall protection, not a batshit Boeing.
Cannot believe how this beautiful giant aircraft manage to fly
No,the A380 always looks like it is stalling and doesnt have the horizontal speed (whether we are inside or outside during takeoff). Yet it has zero issues when flown correctly.
I’m a fighter guy but that Airbus A380 is a good looking passenger jet
Using the nose-wheel at high speed = "cowboy". Lots of "crabbing" with a high cross-wind. Translation: skilled professional.
😳Jet2 pilot doing donuts on the runway!! 🤣 😲 it’s the “STIG”!!
I didn't see any plane here that was about to stall....pilot was well in controll. I did laugh though at the drift onto the runway 😂😂
A380 has alfa prot. So in normal law condition ( not alternate or direct law) stall is impossible even if pilot wants
I think I was on that dirty BA aircraft on a flight from Dubai to London a few weeks ago. I even have a video as well.
The first 2 videos were crazy enough to feel like something out of MSFS2020 lol.
1:00 I do love some safe understeer, pretty odd for a mid-mounted engine 😆
2:03 is that a baby C-17😮
No it’s a baby a400 m
That Jet 2 pilot was practicing his/her drifting skills
imagine it actually stalled and one of the biggest moments happen in history
The Jet2 plane is the closest thing I think I've seen to "airplane pilot road rage"
The British dirty plane, gives brits a home like feeling, similar to what they see out side their windows at home 🤣
owe us 9 seconds of aviation
That's crazy how slow that super heavy A380 was moving and still remaining aloft.
was caseoh on that a-380?
Aircraft always fly close to stall speed on final approach but with a clear defined margin, you know that, respectively you know better I am sure. Nevertheless, I always enjoy your videos.
Did Mick Best say the “town’s and the city’s color scheme” regarding Jet2? Thanks for the good collection of clips! 👍🏻
It may seem slow but because its a big airplane gives you the illusion goes slow. Its indide flight speeds and he uses flaps for landing.
Very cool! 😉👍
Malaysia airlines A380!??? 💀 9 hours ago??? 💀💀
I'm very interested in seeing an airplane ALMOST stall so maybe i'll ALMOST see the video.
That Jet2 captain taxiing the B738 should probably be fired for reckless taxiing. Generally not a good idea to destroy your nose wheel tires on departure.
Bad pilot those nose tires are probably trashed now.
Is that deliberate by the pilot?
i don't care if the Airbus was near stall speed or not, it's still a pretty sight. That Jet2 pilot tried Formula 1 but couldn't make the cut. And the crab landing pilot has cojones of titanium.
