The only reason the C-130 can't land on water is because nobody's made a float kit for it yet! The arctic ski kit is already right there to be used as a starting point. And yes, this has precedent, the DC-3 did (eventually) get a small number of float kits made for it.
I wonder how useful a water landing capable C130 would be for search and rescue... It would have to be pretty beefy to handle a sea landing, but if it was possible, it would mean landing right there when you find the target, and being able to render aid immediately. It's probably easier to just train people to jump out the back with water survival equipment, food and medical supplies though.
2:39 David Attenborough: "Here we are witnessing two F/A-18 Hornets engaging in a rare and delicate act of mating. The lead aircraft with its extended probe, locked gently into the face of the second Hornet for a brief, intimate moment. In that moment, they are one-energy flowing between them."
Yeah, the last time I saw that performed, it was by the same pilot that caused the Rammstein aircrash. It's either old footage, or they haven't learned much.
The 'crazy flight' of the soloist of the Frecce Tricolori is a very complex aerobatic figure and requires perfect synchronism between the use of the stick and the pedals. It originated as a tease to young cadets who tend to correct the attitude of the aircraft a lot during the first landings.
Ok, to be honest. Your videos are great, but titling the video "Pilot Break Landing Gear" and then 8 seconds into to video saying it was because of a windshear is a little odd, kinda shaming the pilots for views..
disagreed. this channel has honest titles, most of the time. most importantly, what title promises is delivered as a first thing, and I appreciate that.
It has a designed service life that will exceed the rest of the airframe's useful life expectancy. Those wing can flex well beyond what you can imagine without harming them. They also see a lot of routine inspections and maintenance to insure they stay in airworthy condition. Its what I do for a living. The wing structure is honestly the last part of a plane I would have concerns about failing.

A Ryanair pilot told me that a few years ago his colleagues were having a competition to see who could do the smoothest landings. They installed an accelerometer app on their phones. They called it the greaser meter.
Simulated control loss be damned. That was a brilliant piece of flying done by someone who knows his aircraft inside and out. I've seen similar done by RAF pilots in Typhoon IIs.
Ryan Air has its moments of excitement but no accidents killing passengers. Are there any other lines that fly 100 million plus passengers a year say that?
The wing flex is a little disconcerting the first time you witness it but then you realize that if they didn't have a significant amount of flex they'd snap off.
I once saw a fire drop from only a few hundred yards away where one of these planes swooped down into a canyon and swooped back up in a very short distance. It was like watching something impossible.
Seein the A380 wobblin around is so funny. I once got told from an AIRBUS engineer how they are doing testflights. When you cant see the wingtip through the window… quiet normal for engineers, but not for passengers 😅
Average airliner vertical touchdown speed: 4-6 feet per second Design failure touchdown speed: 15 feet per second (damage starts at a few fps below that) Note that the 3X sink rate (15 vs ~5 fps) is nine times more energy to be absorbed. As a point of reference, Fighter jet average aircraft carrier landing: 12 fps Design failure touchdown speed: around 20 fps
Breaking or breaking!!! The Sunclass A320 could taxi to the gate by itself. Maybe a big service on the landing gear after a Norwegian/Ryan standard landing 🙂
Can someone explain to me what the pilots in the first clip could've done in that situation to "save" the landing? If the windshear starts at 0:22 they had 2 Seconds to react so I what I'm wondering is if they even had a chance to increase thrust and pitch up?
Pitching up would also push the main gear down. It takes a second or two to spin up the engines if adding thrust. I'm not sure what they could have done that low, options are limited, windshear can be very dangerous.
@Kaenguruu - Nope. Unfortunately, sometimes there's nothing you can do and you just get dumped onto the ground. The passengers are in no danger, but the plane takes one heck of a beating. Having said that, the landing gear is designed to fail progressively/predictably without wrecking the mounting points, so replacing the damaged components isn't (usually) too difficult, but it's (always) very expensive in parts, labour, safety checks, and lost revenue.
@@EleanorPeterson Thx for the answer! In my mind there's something about a windshear escape maneuver floating around - If I recall correctly, if the predictive windshear warning goes of they have to do a go around. How accurate is that system and could it have predicted that windshear?

That's a normal ryanair landing. The 21 year old Captain and 18 year old first officer did well.
To be an airliner captain as 21 is a big achievement (impossible at Ryanair as you need 3000h in the company)
