    That the B-52 had steerable main landing gear is a new fact I learnt today. Never knew it could do that. And that B-1B with full afterburners was a glorious site. Great video today by 3MA.

      The B-52 landing gear can turn 20 degrees either direction. As you can see, it is very useful for a cross wind takeoff. Even more useful, and safer, for a crosswind landing.

      Those B-52s needed to be able to take off when there was a threat, even when weather conditions were bad. The engineers really came through on that.
      Living in Wichita KS I saw the B-1B takeoffs. They had "Afterburner Night" every so often. There is a rooftop near the runway the public can watch from. Two B-1Bs took off with full afterburner, circled around for a low pass and a full afterburner pull up. You could hear that roar all over town.

There's nothing else like these bad boy's... And nothing else made me feel like I was feeling when they would take off from the base, an overwhelming sense of pride of being a American, knowing that we have a aircraft like that in our air force. There is no video that can do justice to this aircraft when it is taking off and getting up to speed, the sound of it is incredible, and believe me when I say that...it is loud as hell, and sounds like it is "ripping" the air, and the vibration, let's you know that this is one aircraft , that you know, isn't messing around....

      I used to work in a railyard. Somewhere nearby was a navigation beacon for the local airport. Early one morning I was out first opening up the railcars we would be working on. I heard an aircraft taking off from the airport, nothing unusual with that, happened a lot, but at about the moment I realized it was military, I also remembered a B1 had been stuck at the airport for a few days because they had dented the wingtip while taxying. I looked up, and it must have been just after the pilot had received clearance for altitude. "Air Force B1 cleared for altitude at the outer marker" The B1 was just tilting it's nose up at a steep angle, and I'm looking straight up the tailpipes at about 500 feet. Holy shit it was loud!

      I remember a USAF film where they had a B-52 Group with the bombers close to each other with the planes pointing in alternating directions. They did a drill with the crews running out to the planes (kinda like a MITO, but with a camera helicopter hovering overhead it was obvious it was 100% staged) The planes started their engines and started moving out, one by one, by going on the diagonal so the distance between their wings and the wings of the bomber next to them stayed the same until the moving bomber was fully cleared.

      landing would be significantly more risky if you had to align the gear with the runway while crabwalking in a crosswind. Although given today’s hardware capabilities, it seems feasible to engineer landing gear that would automatically align with the runway during a heavy crosswind landing

    The B-1B bring back memories. I was doing a contract job at Mountain Home AFB (Idaho) many years ago when a pair of B-1 bombers flow over the town with full afterburners. Hearing the noise, I ran out of the hotel room and saw them screaming across the sky, quite low. Afterburners lighting up the night sky. The next day, at the outbriefing, the base PR officer was in attendance, so I asked what that was about. He rolled his tired eyes and simply said, "Our phones were ringing off the hook all night." Guess it wasn't normal operating procedures.

      The gyroscopic effect would add more stress to the gear. On light aircrafts, the pilot has to brake before retracting the gear, on ''standard'' it'a automatic.

    It was a sunny mid morning, some weekend in the mid 90s when we were fixing our gate with Dad in rural Kenya. Suddenly my lil bro (I was in my early teens then) yelled 'ndege! ndege!' (swahili for airplane) and Alas! there was a commercial passenger jet flying not more than 20m above the ground with loud whining engine noise. I looked like it wanted to perform an emergency landing in the open grass field just beyond our fence, but it pulled up as it approached some trees at one of our neighbors compound. I'm not so sure but from picture memory it may have been a 737. Sometimes I think that was the ill fated Ethiopian jet that crashed in the Indian ocean...can't really tell, I was too young.

    So, and innocent question: You often see "Full Afterburner". Is it possible to have half afterburner? I know you get full military thrust, but something in between that and afterburner?

    • @RevitStructureBlog
      @RevitStructureBlog 2 роки тому +2

      It is, reheat or afterburner injects additional fuel into the jet pipe. The rate of fuel can be adjusted to suit.

    The Boeing 747 also had steerable main gear - at least the body gear. This was because the body gear was aft of the steering centre and it prevented the tyres from scrubbing. I expect the A380 does the same, although I don’t know for certain. The 737 ‘normal’ brakes operate from hydraulic system B with the alternate brakes using system A. The landing gear retraction and extension use system A and system A pressure is plumbed from the retract line when it is pressurised to operate the brakes during gear retraction. A beautifully elegant system. Tests the alternate brakes every time the gear is retracted.

      1% of global CO2 contribution globally and we are expected in the UK to live in caves according to St Greta. Tell her to pester somewhere where a difference can be made. The UK's economy destroying, inflation boosting, woke driven, green policies (even with the fake figures due to our policy of third country economy boosting carbon offshoring) will destroy this country whilst other major polluters putting the other 99% (admittedly including some of our offshoring) into our planet's atmosphere carry on regardless and prosper.
      I am all for protecting the planet, but not at the expense of the UK public's entire lifestyle for a maximum 1% return on that expensive and poorly implemented too-rushed investment. While all the time the policy makers are still producing loads of carbon, but just paying another country to do so. If we are going to do this, do it properly.
      So my car stays on fossil fuel as I find that electric cars do not meet my travel needs. Being a bit green minded, I tried one (Tesla), great car, sold it, totally impractical for my travel needs and got used for about 8% of my journeys. Too expensive for me at that level of impracticality for the benefit that the planet gets from me as an individual while governments keep faking big figures with offshoring and other countries ignore the problem.
      Right cause, wrong target chap.
