MASSIVE Pratt & Whitney ROAR!! Corsair BOEING 747 Take Off from Paris Orly!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 сер 2024
- OLD but GOLD!! Pratt & Whitney engine spool up! Corsair International operates the last three Boeing 747s in France, as Air France retired its own Jumbo Jets in 2016. The aircraft that operated my flight (reg: F-HSEA, previously owned by United, N188UA), which was a 25-year old baby at the time, just returned from China where it underwent a Check D in order to extend its lifetime beyond 2020. Corsair International does not seem to have plans to replace the three 747, and it's very good news for us, avgeeks!!
Flying in a Boeing 747 and hearing its melodious engines (Pratt & Whitney PW4000 here) is always an inestimable pleasure, even more now that these birds are getting rare. French West Indies airports are lucky to see the 747 still operated, as Corsair primarily sends them to Point-à-Pitre and Fort-de-France, along with Saint-Denis (Reunion Island) and Maurice.
It's not difficult to see (or hear) the age of this aircraft. For example, the material around the windows is getting a yellow tint, just like the ceiling. Or the absence of mood-lighting. In this video, you will hear some weird noises as well when the aircraft is turning, surely caused by friction somewhere in the nose wheel steering mechanism. The age of the aircraft might also be the reason behind the late departure. In addition to late passengers, we also faced technical issues in the ECS (a failed component in the cabin temperature regulation system).
Despite the delayed departure (2h40 delay, not the airline's fault tbh), I've had a good flight, mostly due to a nice and friendly crew. The drawback is that I missed my following flight to Fort-de-France, Martinique, and that I've been transferred on a later flight, which had itself a 1h30 delay. I was not very lucky this day. Good point is that the delay was enough for a sunset approach is PTP, as you'll see in the next video.
Enjoy!

The 747 will always be the Grand Lady of the Skies. Most iconic and beautiful airplane ever.
Yes, Queen of the Skies! You nailed it!
Поймите меня правильно, это история, а вот 777-300ER он замечательный, но в нем души мало.
Pratt & Whitney made the best Jet Engines.
Legend has it that they are still taxiing to this day...
Lol! Over half the video was taxiing 🙄
For me, legend holds that nothing will ever top a 747 as the most beautiful and iconic airplane ever.
@@johntracy72 Couldn’t agree with you more good sir.
😂😂😂😂😂
Take off begins at 18:52
IanScottTV thank you sir

Thanks!
Thank you!
That was one of the smoothest runways ever! Usually you hear the clunk clunk clunk as the tires hit the seams in the runway.
It is realky smooth
you hear the clunk clunk as they hit the lights embedded in the runway, it isn't the "seams"
Pretty well mantained. It’s smooth like butter for butter smooth landings haha.
beautiful country. The north east us are some of the worst airports all surrounded by ugly neighborhoods.
that sound is running over the centre lights
It’s nice when human beings get things right ain’t it?😊👍🏾
why am i hypnotised by the white markers on the engines. its amazing really can you imagine what someone only 150 years ago would have made of seeing a machine like this in the air. They would think aliens were landing
Agreed
Man, I fell a sleep twice and woke up and still making it's way to the runway 😁🤣
فرنسا
احلى واجمل وأروع بلد في العالم
فرنسا حضارة.
France is the most beautiful and civilized nation in the world.
God bless this vibrant nation.
Beautiful engines operating perfectly . The 747-400 will always be the Queen of the skies 😊
The Grand Lady of the Skies.
King of the skies. 707 King of the skies prior.
I can't lie. Flying makes me a nervous wreck, however takeoff and landing are awesome and my favorite parts of air travel.
I’m the same way. Once we get going and the bar cart comes around, then I’m fine.
Wonderful video! Many thanks! The retracting of the Jet Bridge, awesome, rarely gets posted.
Also that the ground had that light "Movie" wetness to it, added greatly to your video. You picked a great day/time of day.
The aircraft may be 25 years and change old, but those Mighty Pratts look relatively new/fresh.
And for those Geeks out there: From spool up to rotation: 45:45 seconds. I like to time take-offs off different types of planes, and I have found 45 seconds to be average from spool up to take off. Some have been a tad over 40 seconds and some as late as 50 seconds.
Thanks for the great upload! Love those clouds and clouds layer as well. Beautiful time of the day!
Pratt & Whitney
Dependable Power!!
That was such a beautiful takeoff, beautiful engines
Pratt n Whitney, the original engine for the 747.
Absolutely stunning video! Such clarity! Such stability! Great job my friend!
Thank you so much my dear friend! I'm glad you enjoyed it ;)
Thanks for this AWESOME 4K vid loved seeing those other aircrafts lined up..and loved seeing the zoom in of this aircraft's engine...😊😊😊😊😊 thanks again. ✈✈✈✈✈✈✈✈
Thank you so much!
Those engines are the best I've seen, super quiet and beautiful.
Thank you for sharing this video. I enjoyed it: It seemed that the Orly is quite big. I would love to travel to France.
Thank you! Orly is a medium size airport, a bit like Gatwick. Not huge, but not small either
@@TheFlyingFrenchmanHD thank you for responding. It just seemed a long stint to take.
Really nice view of the engines. They are so pretty and so white and Brand new
Well not so brand new actually haha
Sounds like a racist calling you a racist. What a jack hole
Love that wing bends upwards at speed visually demonstrating lift force!
Very nice wing and engine views; take-off through the climb. Have spent much time on older quads, even this air frame when it was owned by United, and plying the Pacific routes.
Thanks a lot! These quads represent the good old time. Too bad they're being replaced by "boring" new airplanes...
Agree. One twin engine starts to look like another.
Love those engine vorticies as well
18:29 DRIFT SOUND!
amazing.. most reliable/dependable and used planes to date.
PERFECT shot!
Awesome video mate. Lovely sound from those P&Ws. Had the pleasure to film their 747s in action at Orly back in March last year.
Thanks a lot buddy I've seen your footage! Tell me when you're coming back in Paris ;)
Nice PW4000-94 engine sound
The 747 is the perfect airplane: it's fast, it's quiet and is iconic. The only problems are maintenance and fuel consumption. I think that a 747-400 is more maneuverable than an A380. I have traveled on a 744ER from Madrid to Greece, full of 500 people + cargo and it only took off in 20 seconds. Nothing for a near to 20 year old 747-400. (EC-KQC).
Thanks for your comment! First of all, the 747 is far from quiet. It's the second noisiest airplane I've ever travelled on. Secondly, you don't need full fuel tanks to go to Greece from Madrid, which is why it took off faster than if it was going to LAX. I've had the opportunity to take a 747 full of passengers, cargo and fuel from FDF to Paris and believe me, the take off was not fast at all. It needed almost the entire 10,827 feet runway. But I agree with you, it's an iconic aircraft and a technological marvel ;)
Fernousdu972 HD Aviation It's quiet compared to other aircraft of its time, "relatively quiet". And yes I know you don't need full fuel to go from Madrid to Greece. I just say that the 747 is still a very capable aircraft and still manages to go to little airports like Rostock Laage; in such airport an A340-300 can't operate.

The Airbus A380 is indeed slower; its body shape is made for comfort, not for speed. An empty A380 will take off still more smoothly than a Boeing 747. When the first 747 was made there was still the idea of "speed" over "comfort". The wing airfoil of a 747-400 is very similar to a fighter plane. It is still indeed more maneuverable than an A380. And at least in Madrid airport, the few Wamos Air 747s I see are way quieter than Air Europa and Iberia's *brand new*. A330-200s. And as I flew in both 747 and A330, the 747 is very noisy from inside, because it's not as well sealed as the A330s.
Fernousdu972 HD Aviation And yes, the 747 needs almost all the runway when fully loaded, but it has more reprise than the A380.
Agreed. Indeed it is relatively quiet!
That runway is smoother than a new baby’s behind
There's always a child who ruins the sound
And ALWAYS a nervous coughing smoker
Fact! And why I don't fly anymore. The dogs piss me off too
Whining asses should stay home .that's why i live where i do .don't have to listen to dumb ass .you asses we're kids one day .or Democrats .
I'm with ya Susan, Hot Dammit, tell 'em!!!
Smoker? Which airline? I haven't been on an airline that allowed smikomg since 1997!!
very nice plane and sky!!!! queen of sky!!!
Great view to engines!
Thanks a a lot for your comment!
the sound at 11:49 💀💀💀(only headphone users can hear it)
thrilling onboard footage.
Thanks a lot mate!
Very nice video. Shows all the drive time prior to gear up. But...If you want to hear a Pratt and Whitney ROAR, try working on F-106s for four years. It was a great time to be a aviation enthusiast and wrench-bender par excellence. And F-15s. Every day an air show.
Thanks, cool video. It was interesting looking at the center of the blade fan when the engines were started. It was an interesting visual indicator and I have always wondered why those fan nose cones were painted.
Thanks for your comment ;) The paint is for the safety of ground crews, a running engine might not always be obvious. Some explanations involve scaring birds as well, but I'm not sure about that.
Did you notice the Vapor formation before they took off? It’s caused by the suction into the engine causing and low air pressure and thus vapor in the air flashes to a visible water fog. It stops once there is sufficient air speed to supply enough volume of air to keep the inlet air pressure sufficiently high.
Love the ding .
Extremely cool 160 knots 👌
Take off roll begins at 19:01
Pure professional video.
Wonderful!!
Reminds me of DFW...my jeans were outta style before we took off~
Wow nice good job kapan saya bisa di ajak terbang gratis
I miss flying on 747’s.
Je l'ai pris il y a quelque jour de retour au pays :) Super ta vidéo !!!
Merci beaucoup!
Great share, Gilles. I wonder if we'll be seeing footage from your cockpit (left seat?) soon...
Thanks for your comment buddy! I hope I'll be able to do it, maybe in two years!
Welp at least this ex-United aircraft has a new life now.
Like the condensation in the nacelles on full power....
The humming of the engines is so calming. It reminds me of binaural beats. 😊
When I heard the pilots making his announcement with the destination, I was like is he wrong as it happens from time to time, then I saw the description. Did you miss the direct flight to FDF?Indeed we can see and hear that the 747 are getting old, with main gear noise when turning around. Corsair could have invested in deep Cabin renovation as they knew they were keeping the QOTS till 2020, with better video screen... but as you said it’s the last airline operating the 747 so that is fantastic..
Thanks for your comment! I booked my journey to Martinique via PTP. So with the ORY-PTP flight being 2 hours late, I missed my ast flight to FDF. I've been given a seat on the 10:30 pm flight to FDF with Air Antilles, which has been 1 hour late itself... I've been luckier than that in my life.
I think the IFE is far from the best, but it's overall good. At least for flights to FWI where the airlines are not keen on investing much in updating their cabins...
Beautiful footage bro, thanx!!!
Love those engines and rolls Royce engines powerful thrust
Pratt & Whitney read the title
Merci
Great video you gotta love that engine roar 😍🛫
Beau décollage
Amazing video.
Great video! But 20 mins of taxi?
Yeah we had to taxi along the whole South Terminal and around the whole West Terminal until RWY24
Wish I could get a ride in a 747 while they are still around. I can just afford one trip a year and it's not international. But none operate out of Canada anymore. Maybe someday I'll get to touch one at least.
I hope you will have that opportunity too. By the time you will have to make an international trip, Lufthansa and Korean will still operate the -8 version, and BA might still have a few -400 hopefully ;)
@@TheFlyingFrenchmanHD Thanks.
Awesome video mate!
Thank you very much buddy!
Damn might as well drive the plane to the destination lol
NICE BUT B 707 HAVE A REAL ENGINE AND THX 4 POSTINGMY BOEING !
Fabulous Video & beautiful scenery 😍😍😍
Glad you enjoyed it mate!
beautiful
Beautiful
FANTASTIC video...good news, that SS will fly the Queen of the Skies until 2020!
How is the airline regarding inflight service on longhaul?
Thank you very much for your comment! Yep. That's very good news! I think overall it's a good airline. The problem is that all the airlines flying routes to FWI operate very high density aircraft (including 9-abreast A330s or 10-abreast A350s). Corsair is no exception unfortunately. Thanks for watching!
@@TheFlyingFrenchmanHD , it's true that I've never been on a narrow body aircraft flying trans-Atlantic, they wouldn't have enough fuel, plus the first class on narrow body airliners have much more limited sources (and doesn't have business class).
Speaking of airliners, I've never been sure on why once popular airlines went out of business. TWA was one of the most popular airlines back in the 1980s. It was the airline me and my family travelled on the most, and I even remember hearing other people say it was their favorite airline. TWA, United, and American were considered "the big 3" in the 1980s. Now TWA is long gone and American and United merged into one airline. TWA also had been around since the 1940s and was a propeller plane airliner for early plane travelers. And there were the fairly popular airlines gone obsolete such as Eastern, Pan Am, and Braniff. And then there were the airlines which were less popular back then such as Delta and Continental which really grew after Eastern, TWA, and Pan Am went out of business. I guess my point is that I'm not sure why airlines with so many passengers doing such great business went out of business.
Alvex Ok that’s not true about narrow body planes not being able to fly transatlantic flights. The Boeing 757 makes these flights and British airways uses an A319 to fly one of its flights between London/JFK.
Great work :-)
Thank you!
I've usually been partial to the hummmm of the General Electric engines.
The Queen! So sad that they're going away.
Nice Video and awesome sound 👍
Why did the sound suddenly become quieter as soon as TOGA was reached?
Wow, beautiful takeoff!
Great video ;)
Thanks mate!
Beautiful absolutely beautiful
Magnífico Vídeo Muito bom Meus Parabéns 💙💙💙💙👍👍👍👍
Awesom
I've flown on many 747's and nothing feels more powerful on take off.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I know they must not be used that much because I don’t see them on many aircraft. Do you know why? They’re just nice engines and they’re quiet and so attractive I think and they’re fairly simple.
That may be because the 747 is becoming rare. Because back in time there was a good bunch of 747s powered by these P&W engines. For example, UA's 747s, some of CX's 747s, SQ's 747s, CA's 747s and many others had P&W engines so they were quite used.
I agree, I love them too ;)
Sounds Like a Rolls-Royce Trent 700/XWB
What a machıne ! Great vıdeo thanks!
Thanks a lot for you comment!
Ahhh, beautiful!!
Esse aeroporto é grande, hein.
Beautiful!
Are the number 1 and 4 engines oriented inboard and slightly up ?
Corsair's 747 fleet have been retired today 😭
Yup, sad day for french skies, no quads anymore :/
Hermosa maquina
I've been curious on why so many airlines since the 1990s have discontinued 747s. And DC-10s and 727s also have become almost obsolete
4 engines
Vídeo fenomenal, Abraços para o autor.
Skip to 7:58 sec. and then 18:48 sec. (You're welcome)
This Boeing is going! But If it ain't Rolls Royce, there is no rejoice? They sound excessively whiny once in the air at full throttle. But maybe they all sound like that.
You wanna know how powerful these engines are? If you are standing a mere 10 feet in front of them you'll get sucked in and shred to mince meat. You'll get sucked in so hard and fast, you will chip the blades. IF you are standing a mere 20 feet behind them at full throttle, the blast force will snap your neck.
V tec kicked in yo
Why did the sound go from stereo to mono just as the plane started taking off?
Once I realized which Paris airport is was easy to track the path the plane took to the runway on google maps.
Why do people post 20 minutes of taxiing and five minutes of flight? I don''t know about you but the flying bit is much more interesting to me.
Those p&w engines seem quieter than RR and GE engines
For GE I can't tell, but they're definitely quieter than RB211 engines ;)
Crazy phase at full throttle 🥴
Move right along to the 18 minute mark!
I felt that the speed of this boeng was lesser than usual
I think that's because it's a 747, an older model. The newer big commercial aircrafts are the 777s and A 330s, which have more powerful engines and can move even faster. And they're the ones we've become more used to now.
If I feel poorly at Orly will I have to see an Orderly
