    Heavy take off indeed. You usually barely hear any engines behind the wing seats.
    But in this case, you can clearly hear the engines even from here during take off run. Very powerful take off.

    • @Bootyavenger

      @@Bootyavenger I absolutely disagreed.
      Behind the wings maybe louder in some airplanes, but it is not from the sound of the engine. It is mostly from the air flow or from the thrusts. Behind the wing is where the engines sound get muffled the most.
      The seats in front of the engines however, where you can see the fanblades slightly, is the best seat to listen to the CLEAREST engine sound. You are able to hear the crystal clear engine's sound buzzsaw there. (If the plane has it). You'll never hear it from behind the wing.
      You'll NEVER EVER EVER see a video title "Engine roar" video with a view from behind or in the middle of the wings seat. It's always the front of it.
      Try watching some videos like A330 or 757 take off, from in front and behind the wings and compare. Since those have very clear accent. If you don't believe me.

    I love how the wing bends around 1:33 It’s the point where almost 400 tons of weight is gradually transferred from the wheels to the wings.

    • @xruud24
      @xruud24 4 місяці тому +1

      Nah it doesn't work like that when taking off the 400 tons decreases because lift is generated and at rotation there is enough lift equal to the weight of the aircraft

    Around 1min 30 as the aircraft begins to rotate you can hear a kind of shuddering noise. I have noticed it on 747's previously. I am sure it's normal, but can someone explain what causes the noise?

      Not sure how they classify them now but it used to be based on the wake turbulence. 757s used to be considered "heavies" because of how ridiculously overpowered they are. I don't think ATC refers to them as heavies anymore.

      If indeed it was a 787, the engine would be way too far out on the wing. These serrated nozzles also called chevrons, are used on the 747-8, the 787-series, as well as on the B737-MAX series. So rest assured, this aircraft was a 747-8.

    They are most likely flying to Frankfurt. They are not very heavy at all. That is only about an 11 hour flight. If they were heavy they would rotated at opposite end of runway. They rotated a little over half way down the runway. Facts matter.

      Every aircraft with a MTOW of more then 300000 lbs is called „heavy“. Doesn’t matter what the current weight actually is. Also at ATC, 747‘s are called heavy.

      As an ex 747 pilot …. I’d say flying from San Francisco to Frankfurt with appx 100 tonnes of fuel on board, I would say it would be pretty heavy. I can’t think of many aircraft that would be a lot heavier …
