Sorry guys, the CAT 988F is not a bulldozer but a wheel loader😉You see I know more about planes than bull/dozer/loaders😉 by the way if any of you guys has one of those, I would looove to take that out for a spin😉
The simple rule is if it has wheels, it's not a bulldozer. Bulldozers have tracks. (Well, there are several wheels inside the tracks but I think you get the point.)
well yes and no. 0:09 that is a wheeled bulldozer 3:58 that is a wheel loader. 0:09 its more or less a wheel loader with a bulldozer blade there are many hybrids like this e.g. JCB Teleskid its a skid-steer with a telehandler boom www.jcb.com/en-us/products/teleskid

You’re so positive, inspiring, and supportive Captain Joe, I learn more about aviation from you, but the most important for me is to learn from your positive attitude. Thanks a lot!
The C5 Galaxy originally had a dual system installed. It had the ability to steer all the Main Landing Gear (MLG). On approach, all MLG would align with the runway and allow the plane to land with a crosswind. It was called Crosswind Crab. Then once on the ground the aft gear would caster to allow sharper turns then hydraulically power back to center. This was called Caster Power Back system. The crosswind crab was removed but the Caster Power Back system was retained.
Great info Allen. Can you answer a question for me? Is it true the C5 Galaxy has the ability to inflate/deflate its tires to land on different runway surfaces like the Lockheed C130 has? (dirt, gravel, snow, tarmac runways ect) I am not talking about the landing gear kneeling system for loading and unloading...but the tire deflation system itself. Thanks in advance.
Chad Watson It now makes sense why the Boeing 777 and the rest of the big aircrafts in the world can do a 180 degree turn so easily in almost the exact spot it’s in.☺️
As a pedestrian in an area with regular weekday 18 wheeler traffic making store deliveries, when they make a 90 degree turn, I instinctively move the hell back from the curb, just in case. Unlike some of these zombies, when I'm in public, I actually pay attention to my surroundings and to traffic flow---without earbuds, bluetooth or my face in a phone.

+Captain Joe, I am a retired industrial engineer, who, for 18 years, supported avionics for three airframes within the Boeing product line. Please, take us on a tour of the "Hellhole" sometime. Should Cargolux have any old 'farts' like me still around, ask them about the origins of the 747's "Cargo Compartment Temperature Indicator", (mid-1990's), and the "flatulent pigs"....
Is the flatulent pigs the story the one with the pigs that flew out of LHR in the cargo hold of a passenger 747 in the 90's. They got scared and started farting. The stinky gas set off the fire alarms (without a fire starting) and they returned. I think the pigs were being used for breeding or something in the story I am thinking of. So they sent them by plane to South Africa if I remember it right.
+John B, and the "Smiths Aerospace - Malvern" 2262-01-2 CCTI (Cargo Compartment Temperature Indicator, adorned in wonderful BAC-8328 F "Boeing Baby___t Brown" ) was born! AKA "Stinky Pig Indicator". You win the prize on that one. I cut the 'BAC generated' supportive documentation for that very FAA-TSO Order, and the FAA-PMA . Give that man a cigar! Those porker's were worth beau·coup bucks, and there were several engineers (from both companies, and two airlines) who received T-Shirts with dancing pigs captioned with - "PULL MY FINGER". I actually believe that the re-insurer was involved in procuring those t-shirts. I couldn't have told it better myself! It was theorized that 'a unique' phosphate chain may have been a (dietarily produced)sub-component of the 'little atoms of p**p' in the air that day. I do know, that after that event, virtually everything farm or zoo related, was provided with at least minor sedation prior to their flight. I would have loved to have seen the 'treatment' that Benny Hill would have provided on his show...
For other great steering techniques on planes, I would definitely suggest the Antonov AN-225 as well. It has 32 wheels of which 20 are steerable. 4 in the front (two sets of 2 wheels) and 16 for body steering (4 sets of 2 wheels on either side). Which definitely is necessary to taxi this giant bird.
Great video I was honored to be part of the maintenance crew on the AIRBORNE LASER which was a 747-400 for 10 yrs it was a dream being able to work on the queen of the sky. That body gear steering was a great help when towing this beast I couldn’t imagine not having that, scrubbing tire wear would create a great expenditure on carriers and also cause great tension loads on the gear.
I used to work with someone who was a B-52 pilot during the Vietnam War. The B-52 was also made by Boeing, so they had a lot of experience with these things. The B-52's main landing gear was steerable and didn't have a nose gear. When doing a crosswind landing, the nose of the plane would be yawed into the wind while the main landing gear would be lined up with the runway.
Joe, this is a cool video. Talked to my father in law who is an old B52 pilot with 5000hrs + flown for SAC and in Vietnam (also flew the B58 Hustler). They had a knob in the cockpit where they adjusted for crabbing before landing. By rotating the knob it showed them the crabbing angle (ground moving along compared to lines in the instrument) and it adjusted the MLG automatically. Ones the Buff has touched down they simply rotated the knob back to neutral and the landing gear moved back to its position. Not used on take off though.

You can't see me, but take me at my word. ;) Make a t-shirt of it, should sell like hot cakes. Or better still: a morning coffee mug with it on it for morning grouches and more positivity :))
1 of the best videos you made. As a former bus/truck driver I know all about counter steering. On the MCI buses they also had a manual shut off switch and the system was automatically deactivated at speeds above 30 mph. I'm not sure the counter steer ratio but it was cool to take on a tight corner with it. As always great content!
I had a Honda Prelude with four wheel steering back in the early 90's. It was excellent for turning and parking , don't know why you never see four wheel steering cars anymore.
The extra cost to design, manufacture, and maintain a four-wheel steering system far exceeds any benefit gained vs a front-wheel steering system in normal driving situations. Four-wheel steering only makes sense on large vehicles confined to work in tight spaces.
Good point on the 747 prototype. Yet another example of what an amazing plane that was and why it completely dominated air travel for so long. There's a great documentary on the design and development of the 747, which is a real eye-opener in so many ways.
@@flywithcaptainjoe Hi Joe, here's a shorter version: ua-cam.com/video/4Ht1ogFUBLc/v-deo.html The original is, I think, this: www.imdb.com/title/tt4030188/ I like how they signed the contract to start delivering them in 28 months and yet Boeing hadn't started designing them, lol. Just one of the remarkable bits of the story of how it came about. Cheers
Oh, so it's kinda like the B-52 bomber where it can steer all of its wheels in the same direction. But that feature is for compensating for cross wind during landing. But I won't be surprised if the rear gears can steer in the opposite direction from the front wheels during taxing.
In a semi truck we don’t swing left first when making sharp rights . Proper way to handle it is to be In the leftmost portion of the lane in advance of making the turn and using all available space forward of the turn. Swinging left first is just asking for a accident. So sure sometimes in major cities especially we will hit curbs often intentionally and sometimes many drivers don’t understand how to properly make the turn and hit all sorts of curbs everywhere.
Amazing video, 748 is really impressive, but what I Loved most in this video is the A380 at the end 😊😂 I mean, did you see how nice and clean this landing gear was compare to the wrinkly 747 landing gear 😁. Joke aside,well done Joe, your video is impressive, definitely can’t add a word to it, keep it up 👍🏻
Depending on the Operators specifications, it is usually measured by the amount of the centre tyre groove still visible and could be around 180 landings per tyre.
@@tedsmith6137 So they do not use an instrument made for plane tires like a penny on the tread of my tire on my car. If Lincoln's head is covered it is good. If not then it is time to change it. I thought they would have tire gauges that measured the tread. You want good tread on the tires that are on a wet surface trying to land.
Is body gear steer available for crosswind landing? A video that has been around for a long time shows Boeing Xwind landing tests at some Airport in South America. That video seems to show the body gear twisted on some of the aircraft
Many lorries in the uk do this now. Even little urban trailers. I was following an impressive abnormal load a few weeks ago which had about 8 rear axles, every axle steered! Impressive to watch!
Several different cars have that including Posches. At high speed turns the rear wheels steer the same direction as the front to negate oversteer. It is only about 3 degrees of wheel steer.
Great video. I am fascinated with aviation and know a fair amount about aircraft, but I had no Idea about body gear steering on the heavies. I enjoy your videos very much. Thanks from a non-pilot, non-flight simmer.
From Capt. Joe's "Importance of English in Aviation" video, he mentioned childhood roadtrips to England and that he "natively" spoke German. He might work for CargoLux based on his "747 vs a380" video. Thus, Joe may be from Luxembourg, which has German as an official language and proximity to the Chunnel.
some information to the 777: The main gear steering activates as soon as the nose landing gear is deflected at least 13°. A transmitter on the left hand tiller picks up the nose landing gear steering angle. The aft axle can deflect up to 8° (6.5° on the 777-300) when the nose landing gear is rotated more than 70°. when the NLG steering input is
Hello captain joe, I remember one of your videos you said ‘how did I pay for flight school and how can you stay tuned.’ Are you still going to make this video?
I believe it's a combination of both. However, do recall Joe switched airlines recently so it may yet take a while. I don't think he's hung up on it. Seems to me he's living his best life flying the 747.

i read in a book all about joe sutter and the 747 that part of the reason body steering was installed besides turn radius was one time when they were using differential thrust to turn it blew a station wagon of spectators away into the mud so they were worried about other possible jet blast effects
Wow, that’s serious engineering by Joe Sutter, invented before we were born & the same principle is still applied to heavy and super-heavy aircraft today. 👍💯
Good video Joe, you could become a freelance technical teacher 👨🏫. This was a accurate explanation of the body gear steering system from a B747 . Weiter so !
MCI bus has a similar rear steering system, when making a turn under 15 mph the rear wheels track in the opposite direction to help bring the back of the bus around in a turn.
Capt. Joe! You're becoming a real computer animation master! Keep up the good work, Hollywood soon will be knocking on your door for its productions =)
I really love this learning session. To answer to your question, the crew should use the steering system & not the rudder pedals before the take off, to be able to steer the aircraft beyond 7 degrees (max from the nose geer), the body steering gear won't get activated until 20 degrees turn. It is funny when you said that when the push back driver exceeds the ground speed of 20 knots & LOL
The thing you call a wheeled bulldozer is actually called a wheel loader. Love your channel! Best regards / Offended technical trainer in construction equipment :D
Fascinating video, Captain, and thank-you for sharing it with us. Having read through the comments and sadly noting how much of my thunder had been stolen (JUST KIDDING), one notable aspect of steerable body gear is how much torque and other lateral forces are eliminated from the struts, linkage, and other components of the main landing gear system during ground maneuvers. Given the 747-400 has a MTOW of about 450 tons (US), without the steerable body gear, the entire system would have had to been engineered much more robustly. Not only would this have added weight, but it would have eliminated space that is currently occupied by other critical components. Again, thank-you for your post, and I am looking forward to viewing your next lesson!
Joe thank you. I love your motivation videos. They helped me a lot and I can finally say ill start at a big european airline flight school this summer. Please keep up the great work!
Hey Joe! I work at Heathrow and had a chance to look at cargo nose on a Singapore Cargo 747! It looked awesome! Never knew about it until your video!! However I’ve got a question! I noticed that under the tail there was some sort a pipe or beam like a support of some sort? Do you know why it’d be there? Did the aircraft have had to be modified to have that added? Thanks!

Turning radius : 0m. Probleme solved 😂
Then you rip the wing from the airplane, RIP wing
Ah the superior steering mechanism
😂
Boeing... how wide are most runways?

Can you do a video about how air conditioning systems in aircraft work?
Many lorries in the uk do this now. Even little urban trailers. I was following an impressive abnormal load a few weeks ago which had about 8 rear axles, every axle steered! Impressive to watch!
Airbus A350 is May fave ❤️
For me its An-72
This is Gold Captain Joe!! Amazing explanation about the Boeing 747 daily operation..!
The same steering system applies to the new Audi A8. That's quite a long one too😂
Several different cars have that including Posches. At high speed turns the rear wheels steer the same direction as the front to negate oversteer. It is only about 3 degrees of wheel steer.
4ws system was applied to a Honda Prelude 30 years ago..actually it’s more old than that in automobile history..
Another superb video cpt Joe! I did not know about the body gear steering until now! I
You should do a video on pushbacks😀
Great video. I am fascinated with aviation and know a fair amount about aircraft, but I had no Idea about body gear steering on the heavies. I enjoy your videos very much. Thanks from a non-pilot, non-flight simmer.
Connor K Does are the best comments, if my videos surprise others about technical facts on planes, I‘ve done my job right😉
Just curious... where are you from? Can’t quite pick up your accent
Great content as usual joe, keep up the good work!!👍🏻
From Capt. Joe's "Importance of English in Aviation" video, he mentioned childhood roadtrips to England and that he "natively" spoke German. He might work for CargoLux based on his "747 vs a380" video. Thus, Joe may be from Luxembourg, which has German as an official language and proximity to the Chunnel.
Think he is British but raised in Germany
He is German but he has British heritage
some information to the 777:
The main gear steering activates as soon as the nose landing gear is deflected at least 13°. A transmitter on the left hand tiller picks up the nose landing gear steering angle. The aft axle can deflect up to 8° (6.5° on the 777-300) when the nose landing gear is rotated more than 70°. when the NLG steering input is

Hello captain joe, I remember one of your videos you said ‘how did I pay for flight school and how can you stay tuned.’ Are you still going to make this video?
Mohammad Alizadeh yes still coming up
Much respect captain I learn so much from your videos, very inspiring to me.
so joe, when will you become a captain and gain your fourth stripe? is it based on your flight hours, or seniority with the airline?
I believe it's a combination of both. However, do recall Joe switched airlines recently so it may yet take a while. I don't think he's hung up on it. Seems to me he's living his best life flying the 747.
It’s going to be many more years, due to the airline change😌
Captain Joe ah well, those years will ‘fly’ by when piloting a ‘joembo’ jet. sorry for the cringe i had to that.
@@flywithcaptainjoehi Joe have changed Airbus to Boeing . I was not watching videos for a long time due to some preoccupancy..just wondering is it possible to change from Airbus series pilot to Boeing series pilot without changing the rank ...
@@cmntkxp Rank is only with a single company. Every company is different, one may start in a new company as a captain with good experience, others may start as first officer and promote after a short time.
It's always nice to hear Kennedy Steve's voice!
999th like! You are so honest and lovely, thanks Joe ❤
I absolutely love your videos Capt. Joe! I. Not exactly an aviation enthusiast but I do love to learn, and your teaching skills are pristine! Not to forget your English is better than most Americans that have spoken English their entire lives.
J.B. HUNT truck crash - Just Been Hired, Unfortunately Not Trained.
point taken, but if you look close you'll see it's not a JBH truck pulling that trailer but a yard spotter truck
@@timothycook2917 That would actually be even worse since a lot of yards involve maneuvering around corners, and they're generally just grabbing trailers and moving them around. That said, I do notice most of them are moving at a rather rapid pace.
Captain Joe is a good -better-best teacher for flight enthusiasts like me.
Can you do a video about plane tyre blowout
i saw a vid on jet blue
I swear ur the best pilot I've seen in my life.... U explain good and u are the only pilot that I understand from.... Ur the best. Legend !!!!!!
Is that your real uniform or is it a costume you use for videos?
Reall
The Lockheed C-5 Galaxy has rear body gear steering as well. great videos as always.
An 125/ An 225 steering in very interesting
Yes
Indeed
Can you link some videos or pages, where explained?
124
Excellent and a very informative presentation. Thank you Captain Joe.
Another Dope Video! 🔥🔥🔥 Watching your videos keeps motivating me as I’m going to flight school. Watch how I apply some of your principles I learn here on my channel as I’m getting my commercial certificate now.
Thanks
Keep It Going !!!
A good lesson, thanx Captain Joe
make a vid on flying at night
See captin Joe this is why Boeing always stays my favorite!! Almost all the innovations came from Boeing.
Hi Joe ,
747 made its first flight fifty years ago Today. ( 9//2/69)
Best regards
Great video! Didn't know about the main gear steering. Keep it up Joe! Danke Schön.
So can you do a donut with a 747-400?
Apparently, not on purpose!
@@donaldstanfield8862 i just want to imagine captain Joe drifting with a 747-400 across the tarmac. I know it would be ridiculous to do, but i can dream.
@@sirBrouwer *triggered you said tarmac not runway*
@@diegoandalexcockatiel7540 why? If i said runway that would exclude everything that is not the runway it self. I want Joe to drift the entire airfield. Runways, taxi lanes and all. You need a lot of space to drift with a 747.
@@sirBrouwer i just said it as a joke btw
Awesome video. Also, the B-52 Stratofortress utilizes body hear steering as well.
Why is he always holding his hands like Angela Merkel
What's wrong with you Germans??? 🤣 😂😅
FridgeBiTeR _CB Funny enough I don’t even realize that I do that until I start editing the video😂
Genocidal guilt
@@flywithcaptainjoe heyy Joey boy 747s 50 bday.... R u having a party? 😂😂🤣
@@flywithcaptainjoe you do this in any video
Hi Joe ,Great video, I worked as an aircraft engineer on the 747-400 and the 777.
One day I am going to become a pilot😎😎

Good luck :)
I already am....

Never skipping your ads...keep up great content!
6 people were "first"
Yeah, sure u were ^^
Darius Israel Lanrue first
hehe
Darius Israel Lanrue I’m amazed people actually care that they are first comment on a video. Who cares.
Oliver160 Dr Games that’s because it didn’t refresh dinglenut
Darius Israel Lanrue I’m sure they’re just commenting on their sex lives - being first is not always good.
That is 1 sick little turning system the 747 has.i generally didn't know about that .nice 1 Joe for this video ..
Marry me please
?
Simply yes
Very well explained Captain Joe
i read in a book all about joe sutter and the 747 that part of the reason body steering was installed besides turn radius was one time when they were using differential thrust to turn it blew a station wagon of spectators away into the mud so they were worried about other possible jet blast effects
Wow, that’s serious engineering by Joe Sutter, invented before we were born & the same principle is still applied to heavy and super-heavy aircraft today. 👍💯
I love how on 1:39 there's a sudden "OH" moment of realizing the size of the 747.
You are the best Joe!!!. Even if I am not a pilot but still I am always learning 😉.. Good job 👍
Good video Joe, you could become a freelance technical teacher 👨🏫. This was a accurate explanation of the body gear steering system from a B747 . Weiter so !
MCI bus has a similar rear steering system, when making a turn under 15 mph the rear wheels track in the opposite direction to help bring the back of the bus around in a turn.
Another awesome video. Keeping level high.
Love the cloud surfer shirt! And your videos of course. All the best
Capt. Joe! You're becoming a real computer animation master! Keep up the good work, Hollywood soon will be knocking on your door for its productions =)
I really love this learning session. To answer to your question, the crew should use the steering system & not the rudder pedals before the take off, to be able to steer the aircraft beyond 7 degrees (max from the nose geer), the body steering gear won't get activated until 20 degrees turn.
It is funny when you said that when the push back driver exceeds the ground speed of 20 knots & LOL
The thing you call a wheeled bulldozer is actually called a wheel loader. Love your channel! Best regards / Offended technical trainer in construction equipment :D
Max Häggberg you got it Max, not my field of expertise😉
Agreed, in my world we call them loading shovels Rgds
That was some cool stuff about steering..nice 2 know..n thanks for d detailed explanation
Fascinating video, Captain, and thank-you for sharing it with us. Having read through the comments and sadly noting how much of my thunder had been stolen (JUST KIDDING), one notable aspect of steerable body gear is how much torque and other lateral forces are eliminated from the struts, linkage, and other components of the main landing gear system during ground maneuvers. Given the 747-400 has a MTOW of about 450 tons (US), without the steerable body gear, the entire system would have had to been engineered much more robustly. Not only would this have added weight, but it would have eliminated space that is currently occupied by other critical components. Again, thank-you for your post, and I am looking forward to viewing your next lesson!
Incredible and yet simple solution.
Joe thank you. I love your motivation videos. They helped me a lot and I can finally say ill start at a big european airline flight school this summer.
Please keep up the great work!
Hey Joe! I work at Heathrow and had a chance to look at cargo nose on a Singapore Cargo 747! It looked awesome! Never knew about it until your video!!
However I’ve got a question! I noticed that under the tail there was some sort a pipe or beam like a support of some sort? Do you know why it’d be there? Did the aircraft have had to be modified to have that added? Thanks!
