“Damn” is usually considered a bad word. Don't use it in schools, workplaces, and other formal settings, or around children and strangers. “Damn” originates from Christian religious traditions where “damnation” refers to eternal punishment in hell. Not all people consider “damn” to be bad word.
The Grande Dixence is an engineering marvel located in the Swiss Alps, in the Hérémence Valley. Its construction began in 1951 and was completed in 1961. It was designed to harness the abundant water resources of the region, particularly the surrounding glaciers, for hydroelectric power generation. The construction of the Grande Dixence required colossal efforts. Thousands of workers labored on the site, excavating tunnels, placing millions of tons of concrete, and installing electricity production equipment. In total, approximately six million cubic meters of concrete were used, making it one of the largest civil engineering projects of its time. The Grande Dixence dam stands at an impressive height of 285 meters (935 feet), with a crest length of around 700 meters (2,300 feet). It is constructed using stacked concrete blocks reinforced with metal structures. This massive structure allows the dam to impound a gigantic water reservoir with a capacity of nearly 400 million cubic meters (14 billion cubic feet), making it one of the largest artificial water reservoirs in the world. The Grande Dixence is integrated into a complex power generation system. When water is released from the reservoir, it descends rapidly through tunnels and drives the turbines of downstream hydroelectric power plants. These turbines convert the kinetic energy of the water into mechanical energy, which is then converted into electricity by generators. The generated electricity is subsequently transmitted to the Swiss power grid. In addition to its energy production function, the Grande Dixence also plays a significant role in water regulation. It helps control floods, manages water flows based on demand, and ensures a reliable water supply for the region, including drinking water. Due to its iconic status and tourist appeal, the Grande Dixence offers guided tours that allow visitors to learn about its history, operation, and its impact on the Swiss economy and environment. In summary, the Grande Dixence represents a remarkable engineering achievement, a source of renewable energy, and a major tourist attraction. It symbolizes Switzerland's commitment to clean and sustainable energy production while preserving the natural resources of the alpine region.
0:19 france exuse you !! That dam is Switzerland 🇨🇭 😳 🤣 I always thought that swiss German have better schools system then us in Suisse romande apparently not is swiss geography 😂
Again, the reason the Headwind A330 performs so well is it spawns empty by default, no passengers or cargo and only 10% fuel. You can add a more realistic load using the tablet in the cockpit.
I did try to land a civilian and military turboprop aircraft on a dam in Turboprop Flight Simulator long ago and that actually kind of works actually if you stop those turboprops in TFS as quickly as possible
Hey i want to buy flight sim 2020 on xbox can i buy the deluxe one can i do full flights like from amsterdam to newyork or only in the netherlands area

That’s a tall and thin dam…
Wouldn’t want to fall off!
But I’m enjoying the video as always Swiss!
Iconic old Swiss001 remake video
It is not a France. It is in Switzerland, Grande Dixence dam. It is tallest gravity dam in the world. One of the places on my bucket list.
Land a plane on a formula one track (or, you can’t?)
“Lake of dix” 💀💀💀
I dare you try to land on Burj Khalifa
It's not possible lol

swiss001 has more stuff on his sleeve for example landing a plane full speed on a nuclear power pl- **kaboom**
Another Swiss001 vid
Nice, never thought of it, but a dam great idea 👍
2:22 itaipu dam is actually a hydroelectric plant and is the largest hydroelectric plant in the world
Finally featuring southamerica! 🙌🏽Cheers Swiss!
It is a "dam" good video!
Bro your videos are the best.
Dam. That's crazy.
Swiss is a dam extraordinaire at dams in msfs
Oh damn that a pretty damn good built dam
Can't wait until you land on a F1 circuit.
It will be cool to have a Airport on a dam
vid idea: Landing and taking off sea planes in puddles
This probably would be easier doing this in Turboprop flight simulator
Yo swiss can you make a vid about Airbus Zephyr😀
i hope that swiss will continue to use the mii music
:D
This guy is underrated.
Dam! You made it.
what a dam.
You can divert to SBFI Foz do Iguaçu Airport as well, the brazilian airport in the Iguaçu falls
dam, that was insane
ITS IN SWITZERLAND BRO
New Swiss001 video, noice👍
Lake of dix GREAT! me who has to live with a princable called Mr.Dix 😂
