Plane "loses all of its fuel" is a bit misleading in a couple of ways.
I guess next time I throw away my left overs. I'll say I lost all my leftovers
So when you dump fuel, you are not losing fuel?
titles here are always overblown...
why drop gasoline ?? make no sens at all!!
We read it and watched the video so it's actual purpose is served 😢
"Some control difficulties"
The plane: ⬅️➡️⬅️⬆️↘️⬇️
is that not a control difficulty?
He was trying to enter the cheat code: up, down, up , down, Left, Right, A, B, B, A. Lol
@@ishan4763 no. Control difficulty would be if the airplane’s controls were somehow not working correctly.
@@bobsbuurgers3714 If the plane is too difficult to control, just enter the konami code and it'll be easier.
@@rtbrtb_dutchy4183 oh. I thought control difficulty was a difficulty to control the plane in any circumstance
That drag race was awesome!!
1:30 adios moment was awesome
*A very cunning Stunt !*
I've never seen anything quite like that! I wasn't expecting them to come back for the return lap, very cool!
Where was RuPaul?
That drag race was pointless until I realised it involved coming back to the start line, then it was an impressive show of skill!
It looked very cool the way they did that turn around! I admit, it took me by surprise.
@@johnt.4947 from one John T to the next, I wholeheartedly agree!
i bet you're a real blast at parties...
maybe YOU'RE pointless?
@@johnt.4947 caught me off guard too, i was still computing the cool poses they struck and glided in, then up puffs these big clouds of dust and im like, aww cool it aint over yet... they gonna come back
good times
That banking stall maneuver to quickly scrub off speed was especially impressive.
"What the heck is a fox race?"
"Yeah, what I said: a [cough]kit[cough]fox race..."
That Fokker is a pretty plane.
Designed in 1950, still a great looker.
A lot better looking than it's mother, for sure...
I was thinking the same thing. Glad to see that some are still flying.
Those backcountry aviators are incredible. Thank you for posting that.
I suppose its better to retract the landing gear immediately after takeoff than it is to do it before landing.
F50 be like:
V1... Rotate... Gear up... V2...😅
So much for establishing a positive rate of climb
They leave the gear down for 2 reasons.
1 - They've lost hydraulics, so it's safer to leave them down and locked in position
2 - They're dumping fuel, the gear down helps create extra drag, meaning a higher engine power setting, which helps to burn fuel off.
lol Ah, so true. You must be a pilot.
@@renejean2523 Only in DCS and MSFS 🤣
I don't know why, but parallel landing and take off videos I've always found really cool to watch. Even cooler when it's an exterior shot of both planes involved. That drag race clip, EPICLY COOL.
An aeroplane drag race at a place called Dead Cow (NV) is one of the more American things I've seen today.
I continue to be amazed and heartened that of the dozens maybe hundreds of flights I've been on, I've never experienced so much as a go-around.
You are VERY lucky.
@@BlackWidow00741 I don't think so. Incidents are rare. That's good.
@Solomon Parker I guess you are luckier than me which is great! 🙂
You can't remember if it's dozens or HUNDREDS??? LOL
I've had go-arounds a time or two. No wait, it was 50 or 60.
Whooohoooo 🎉 bonus 11 seconds!
Edit.
Air Iceland must be employing the heroes from Aerosucre.
Akureyri was a BEAUTIFUL place. I was so lucky as a USAF AMMO Troop to be stationed at NAS Keflavik for 2 years. Iceland was AMAZING. Great people, too.
That desert race was freakin amazing.
"Ok, we've travelled five feet since take off and gained 3 inches of altitude. That's a positive rate, right?"
those STOL drag races would be cool as hell to watch in person! Love how they try to make their planes as un-aerodynamic as possible in order to get on the ground and stopped within the limit!
Huge side slip to slow down ASAP.
I thought the planes were pitching up because during full throttle they needed to correct for the torque of the engine, and when the power is cut the plane pitches up, but I'm not a pilot, I was just guessing.
@@bigredc222 Interesting concept! But I think if that were the case, the pilots would have learned to counteract it almost immediately. The fact that they hold the position so long tells me they're doing it on purpose to lose speed and altitude as fast as possible.
I can't believe the first plane lost ALL of its fuel... I'm so glad it managed to return to an airport using only the emergency jet engines located near the wingtips!
I'm so glad it dumped so much kérosène into the atmosphere
Yeah...little jets, like Chemical Jets
Airplane drag racing! Now that's new to me! 🤣🤣🤣
The parallel take off is pretty cool. Great vision
I knew pollution was bad in New Jersey, but I didn't think that included being able to see low-flying aircraft dumping fuel, clearly not far from the person recording.
Falcon 50 is one of my favorite planes. I flew in it once from Bocas Del Toro, very cool experience!
Great videos! Thank you!
(1:40) Looks like me trying to land my Lancaster on the FOB in WarThunder instead of RTB... "It'll work... Watch"👀 Lol😅
continental logo livery? pretty cool.
Oh and some quick math: 70 x 2000= 140,000 lbs
1 lb of jet fuel is 0.15 gallons
140000x0.15=21000 gallons
price per gallon of jet fuel (for now at least): $4.50
4.50x21000=$94,500 money gone from a cropdusting 777
Airplane Drag Racing - Now ive seen it all!
I always wonder when they dump fuel like this how much of it actually rains down on the ground below or does it evaporate before it gets that far?
Should evaporate. However, the lower the altitude, the higher chance it may reach the ground.
It evaporates. They have a specific height they have to be above to dump, there was one incident though someone did it to low and soaked a bunch of kids at a nearby school. Of course they got in trouble
It doesn't just evaporate, it breaks down and mixes with water vapor, which then carries it over large distances...
A water puddle evaporates in the sun, but doesn't go away, it becomes a cloud somewhere else
It's oil. It disperses, like diesel.
it all ends up polluting the environment whether it evaporates into the atmosphere or reaches the ground as a mist of droplets. Air travel is polluting to the environment regardless. 🙄
Parallel take off ❤🔥🔥
El A330 no estaba "perdiendo todo su combustible" estaba liberándolo para bajar su peso total para aterrizar lo más pronto después de una falla que No le permitiría hacer el vuelo planeado. El combustible (keroseno de aviación) se "dampea" por "chutes" al propósito pues el único que se puede "tirar" desde una aeronave, ya que las valijas están lejos en las bodegas, y los pasajeros no quieren que se tire el catering... y ellos mismos "se resisten a saltar" (todo en sentido figurado) jejeje.
El A380 por algún motivo no retrajo su tren de aterrizaje cuando debía, quizá tuvo alguna señal de alarma que luego resolvieron prontamente.
La "carrera" (si bien no soy fanático de ellas) demuestra lo versátiles que pueden ser las aeronave si está diseñada o adaptada al propósito pretendido.
El F27 retrajo el tren cuando debían hacerlo, con lectura de ASCENSO POSITIVO, y no fue anticipadamente sino prontamente o sin demora, tal como se practica y se debe hacer. ¿Cuándo querían que lo retrajera? ¿en ascenso? ¿en crucero? ¿al aterrizar?
Holy shit, must've been a real fun ride on that KLM flight.
Thanks for the 11 seconds of aviation
Okay. I like drag racing! But airplanes drag racing? I think I actually like it!
That KLM, jeeez!! Also, why did that Icelandic airliner pull the gear up so early?
This is the "aerosucre procedure" when a plane is overweight at take off😉
Too heavy.
C’est vraiment impréssionnant la cours de dragster !!
That’s a handsome little Fokker !
2:45 That Fokker 50 be like: V1 ... Rota... gear up
i have flown in a Fokker 50 about 300 times working FIFO (Fly In Fly Out) here in Western Australia. A beautiful aircraft with a fantastic safety record.
The Captain has turned the No Smoking sign
LOL I was like "are you going to retract your gear today?" to the Emirates plane, then the Fokker was like "YO! this is how its done!"
thank you for owing us those 5 seconds, and giving us an extra 6 seconds aviation.
That drag race looked awesome
Nice videos as usual. Thanks.
“JOE JOCK PILOTS! Take that little man Mahoney!
0:48 “Oh sh!t, oh sh!t, it’s okay, we’re down. Phew, I nearly sh4t myself there captain”
“Speak for yourself son”
Awesome as always 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I was part of the search and rescue crew that helped recover the lost fuel. It was a long night but we were able to return every last drop. #InItTogether 🙌
The drag race landed so perfectly!
Your videos make me happy =)
"This rain taste funny"
I don't think I've ever actually burst out laughing watching an aviation video but that airplane drag race was hilarious.
🇬🇧 Quality clips as always.
35 minutes is the earliest ive been 🤣
That plane did not LOSE any fuel. It DUMPED all of it's fuel. There is a difference.
Oh, look! It's raining petroleum in Newark today!
That poor KLM plane, whoaa :O . So cool to see a parallel take off :) , dont see that very often!
Your reporting is much better. Good video.
For whoever was wondering about it-
That 777 dumped over $50,000
worth of fuel.
Well... Still less than a few million bucks aircraft and 200 or so human lives.
About the equivalent of one day's take-home pay for an airline CEO.
Excellent video!😸
This drag race is just like when a teenager gets a bike, he does almost everything from the bike, even if he has to buy vegetables from the shop right next to the house... 🤣🤣🤣
amazing how losing fuel looks like the cris cross spraying above my house today...
When you dump 70 tons of fuel over Newark, New Jersey, do you know what you'll smell? Nothing out of the ordinary for Newark, New Jersey.
Nothing like the feeling of kerosine raining down on your head...
An otherwise routine outdoor recess period was upended at seven Los Angeles schools this week when a Boeing 777 carrying more than 150 passengers dumped jet fuel on playgrounds and school yards, dousing at least 50 people, including 20 children.
Delta Flight 89, which was headed to Shanghai, experienced an engine problem that required it to return to Los Angeles International Airport less than 20 minutes after takeoff Tuesday, officials said. During the emergency landing, the airplane dropped fuel at around 2,000 feet, hitting several schools in its path.
As officials investigate the incident, aviation experts said Wednesday that they are puzzled by the "unusual decision" to dump fuel and that the maneuver, rare in populated areas, could have been avoided.
Thank you !
Love the Fokker
Misleading titles, that 777 didn't "lose" fuel, the crew dumped it so they could get the airplane down to a safe landing weight. Standard procedure in an emergency immediately after a departure when the weight of the airplane is above max landing weight.
2:03 Am I the only one so satisfied with they way those planes touched down at the EXACT same time?
Sadly, yes - you ARE the only one. Sorry about that.
@@timsullivan4566 that’s ok☺️dick
0:52 that looked really sketchy!
Enjoyed all 191 seconds.
BEAUTIFUL
1:45 I dunno...not sure I'd want to risk my life drag racing my STOL bird knowing if things go sideways my obituary would mention my demise occurred at the "Dead Cow Lakebed".
...hold my beer.
I cannot believe the impact of the fuel dump over the state of New Jersey Continental Airlines....Has to be a better way-
2:53 these Planes should be mandatory for any potential Commercial Pilot
Love a fuel shower!
I thought there were minimum altitudes for fuel dumping, so that it evaporates before hitting the ground..something like 7,000 feet or above?
The first thing happened to us in the late 70s/ early 80s flying from Montreal to St. John’s Newfoundland. I almost crapped a brick.
1:45 do these things have f1 engines inside of them? They sound cool!
And do they get more lift than a normal plane of that size? That yellow plane just left up right after leaving the line!😂
@@brianrigsby7900 yeah they’re very light and have very thick wings which allows them to get off the ground like that
Probably not at all like F1 engines. You sort of want a reliable engine in a single-engine aircraft.
Quite a few use modified snow mobile engines, such as the Yamaha Apex engine.
A lot of these types of planes, like the one that landed on the helo pad of that hotel in Dubai, use Rotax engines, which are 4 cylinder, liquid cooled, fuel injected modern engines designed for light aircraft. Others may use more traditional aircraft piston engines, like Lycoming and Continental engines. However, a few of these planes, which probably includes the two in this video clip, are using engines not intended for aircraft use, like snowmobile, or jet ski engines.
Give it time and Cleetus McFarland will be out there drag racing his new Cub lol
0:45 - 0:56 - I am “ON THE FENCE” as to weather or not this was “BROWN TROUSERS WORTHY”…
It being “A GLOOMY DAY” here is pushing me more toward “YES IT PROBABLY WAS”!!!!!
I've heard of airplane racing but never plane drag racing!
The fact that the plane dumping fuel says Continental on the side made me realize that the clips on this channel are not all new ones that happened in the past few days or weeks.
Here's a question that never occurred to me to ask: are there guidelines over where a plane can dump fuel if they have an ability to choose? Does the EPA conduct an investigation at a certain amount, since settled jet fuel may or may not present a health hazard?
Yes, there are guidelines. There are specific areas approved for aircraft to dump fuel, and a minimum altitude for it (except in an extreme emergency). Pilots must get permission from ATC to dump fuel.
Of course there are guidelines, were you born yesterday?
@@jakesnussbuster3565 What a stupid reply. I assumed there were guidelines, but I was interested in the information regarding restrictions over populated areas and altitudes, and whether or not environmental agencies wer required to take samples or produce notices. I wonder if being a keyboard jerk made your day? So, what are the regulations and governmental responses of liner fuel dumping? This plane appeared to be fairly low, so was that on purpose? Was that optimal? Someone recorded the incident, so it may have been over a populated are. Can you answer the questions, or are you limited to running your mouth as the only way to make yourself feel good?
I think anywhere over New Jersey is considered acceptable.
Stunning side by side...what took so long for the "positive rate" call and gear up?
Yeah, I was wondering that too. They seemed to leave the gear down for much longer than I expected.
"plane loses all of its fuel"
*_did you mean Gimli Glider?_*
Retracting the gear after the takeoff instantly heavily reminds me of GTA Games, lol.
How much of the fuel did the first plane lose? Did it just glide back to the airport or was there some left over after the dump?
Of course there was fuel left. The video's title is stupid and misleading. They just dumped enough fuel so they do not perform an overweight landing, as planes have a maximum landing weight
How does a fuel dump work? R there holes in the wings?
Pump activated by pilot dumps it out. On the 777 fuel is dumped from ports near the wingtips.
No, of course not! Otherwise an aircraft would loose fuel. They have nozzles for a controlled dump as you can see here.
That was an impressively quick gear retraction by the F50. Compare it to an A330, which is almost painfully slow, even if it does have so much more gear to stow.
Continental! Those were the days
So what impact does dumping that much fuel have on the ground? Does any of it reach the ground as droplets?
I believe the first clip (fuel dumping) happened over L.A. three years ago:::
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - A Delta Airlines jet making an emergency landing at Los Angeles International Airport dumped fuel on the playground of an elementary school in the flight path on Tuesday, inflicting minor injuries on 17 children and nine adults, local and federal authorities said.Jan 14, 202
It seems emirates crew very happy looking at the race during T/O. Landing gear were delayed a lot 🤣
Everything is under control...My friends!
You've got a good channel - You don't need "Shock" titles. Knock it off
Plane looses all of its compressed air
That dump was veeeeeery low, looks below 6000 ft even with zoom lense factored in.
That KLM landing debacle no doubt resulted in a nose gear and hull inspection. Airliners are NEVER supposed to touch down on NLG before ANY other MLG.
They are not designed for this and can crease the hull, resulting in scrappage.
It was a horrible landing for sure. But the airplane can take that kind of landing.
@@rtbrtb_dutchy4183 no, not true - there are other videos where similar happened to the 777 and it ended up costing 200,000 USD to inspect+repair
@@ghostrider-be9ek it wasn’t that hard of a landing. Plus he did hit the main gears first. Just that the left one bounced back up and touched down the 2nd time after the nose. But the mains had arrested most of the energy already. Don’t get me wrong, it was a horrible landing. But not near the limits of the equipment.
So many comments from people who make assumptions.
The jet fuel completely vaporizes before reaching the ground, and is no more pollutive than if it had been burned in the engines anyway.
The one significant case of fuel falling on people in Los Angeles and making them sick was possibly from jettisoning fuel too low, but knowing the airspace around LAX I would say it was more likely that a lot of people heard about it and immediately put in false claims to get compensation.
This fuel is jettisoned for good reasons, to avoid an overwieght landing for exemple?
Actually, this was not United, It's a Continental 772LR. This video must have been filmed somewhere in 2010-11.
@TheTpanative Hmm, sorry. Just looked at the wing and thought it looked similar.
Look up STOL competitions . With a little headwind, they can take off in 10ft.
I was wondering how my house and cars were covered with jet fuel. Thanks a lot.
Neither first or last as if it even matters! 🙄
