    I took an American Airlines flight from DFW to Heathrow overnight. Was an An American airlines 777 with the GE9X. I loved that the Entertainment System gave you the option to have a basic heads-up display the was real time information from the Flight Deck. There was a point that we were just a tick over 700mph. Granted we had a major tailwind in the Jetstream but I loved all the information I was given the option to see through my ES.
    We ended up making an over 9 hour trip in right at just under 8 hours. Unfortunately Heathrow was not open to airtraffic yet. By the time they opened at 4:30am I belive, there were a few other planes, like from what I could count out my window at the very least 6 of us that were just in an orbit holding pattern until they began to allow us to begin to finally land.. It was just after 5am before we finally landed. It was wild..
    Sorry my point was that the speed we were averaging across the Atlantic was insane for a modern twin engine airliner. Twice I could see out my window other airliners move to our south and drop to a lower altitude as we passed them. No clue what or where they were heading but the point being is that we were hauling ass..
    The return flight with British airways from London back to Dallas was something that started out absolutely Horrific but ended up being the best flight ever and I have to give BA incredibly positive reviews for what they did for me as I was returning to the states for a medical issue and they went wayyyy above and beyond for me and to make sure I was as comfortable as possible. First class with a bed and a full menu with no charges.. I was so sick from a blood infection that all I did was sleep on a bed and have always been and always will be eternally grateful for what they did for me. Every 30 minutes they made sure someone checked on me to be sure I was ok and if I needed anything at all..
    Again they went way above and beyond and I am so grateful they did.

    I've always been an aviation nerd thanks to my father and where I grew up. Do have my PPL and cannot get enough of this content.. I observed something in this video I have not seen before so this may be a dumb question to many, but at 19:20 when showing and explaining the Bonding straps there's an aluminum Cylinder that has the small red arrow pointing down and on either sides it has what looks to be two short props on either side. I know they aren't props because of where this is inside the aircraft, but it was the best way visually to explain what I am seeing.. Thank you ahead of time for showing a side and explaining a side that no one ever sees of these complete marvels of engineering..

It only ran for a few hours and took half an hour to reach full brightness for the 40 watt incandescant bulbs, and the same time to go dim and finally go out by 2130 daily as the flywheel was three stories high !!

    I was a Crew Chief in the Air Force. I worked on F-111s (Yes, I'm a dinosaur). A lot has changed, but so much has not. I've spent the last 30+ years in security & law enforcement. I'm looking for my next chapter and I've been thinking a lot about trying to get my A&P. I live not far from Sky Harbor (Phoenix). I've always just obsessively loved ALL aircraft and I miss it terribly even to this day. I even remember every single system and procedure on my tail number. I'm in fairly good shape. Barely gray and hardly a wrinkle. But, I am 60 now and I just don't know.... What do you guys think!?
    Stig, your videos have helped me to show some "white knuckle flyers" how these aircraft work and how safe they are. Thank you for the outstanding content!! I look forward to it every week.

    HEY STIG! @Stig Aviation the C130J engine in transport is the Allison AE2100D3. I work on the simulators for C130J's and compared to the C130H with the old Allison T56 the C130J's are able to takeoff and climb in full power from, sea level up to 23K. A single AE2100D3 is almost as powerful as two T56's.

    Hi Stig, great explanations, technical enough for aviation professionals but understandable for non aviation people. A bit more background on mechanical flight controls, the 707 used the same flight control principals as the 737. With the addition of trim tabs as well as the servo tabs on ailerons, elevators and rudder with the rudder boosted not fully powered. In regards to outflow valves I was taught that as they are made to crush ice if it built up in the valve it would sever fingers/hands/ arms etc if someone was stupid enough to put anything in the opening and ALWAYS treat it as active. Something lighter, the 2 Porsche cars had German registration plates and were registered in the Stuttgart region, all German number plates display where the vehicle was registered, the first letters on the plate, in this case the S. Without research the only aircraft that use JT8D-200 series engines are MD80’s and possibly (if they still exist) a small number of 727’s that were hushkitted by replacing engines 1 & 3 with -200 engines instead of the originals plus noise reduction measures. Probably for an MD80 some where. Keep safe.

    • @StigAviation
      @StigAviation  3 місяці тому

      Absolutely brilliant, thank you so much as always, Simon. It would be even more fun to talk about the trim tabs on the MD80 elevators. It has three different trim tabs, the control tab, the geared tab, and the anti-float tab. Such a fascinating design.

Haha. Navy never really caught on (l've never understood why). To this day they STILL run largely straight gas turbines - everything. Mains, generator sets, you name it. Sucks that expensive #2 distillate like crazy). Put in for aviation out of AK. Got on C-130's in Pac Basin SAR out of Barber's Pt., HI. Went everywhere. I've been Iucky.

    And speaking of weird requests, could you include shots of 757s and 767s if you get the opportunity to do so? Here in Germany, we're down to 8 757s (to be phased out next year), and our last PAX 767 was retired earlier this year. So while to an American, those are probably still common types, across the pond they are becoming pretty rare (at least without freighter conversations).

    I work in Italy as ground instructor for a training centre addressed to helicopter pilots and maintenance technicians. The words Stig spent about the grounded AA A321 are worth an entire day of lesson about flight safety: I would replay that section of this video to my students at every course. Hat tip to you, Stig, and thanks for sharing both your professionalism and the love you feel for your (our) job!

Anyway since you mentioned electrical grounding I wanted to ask if airplanes are similar to cars in that aspect.
