@FanRailer I agree! I worked as a mechanic for UAL before 9/11 and I can remember standing in the inlet and the spinner cone was at my eye level. Just a monster of an engine. I've always liked how you get the pure sound of the engines after the plane has enough altitude to be away from any sound bouncing off the ground. Nice video.
One of the best take off videos I've seen. Very clear, no shaking, etc. Love the engine sounds. BTW, several airlines flew 727's into MDW back in the day too.
This happened to me once. I was waiting for my flight back to the states (Dallas) in Buenos Aires. I went to sit down at the gate and looked to the right of me and saw a girl I went to high school with and then saw their entire family! They were all headed out on different flights, one to MIA, one to JFK, and one to DFW. Was really weird, but interesting! All-in-ALL there were about 7 Oklahomans at Buenos Aires airport, as I had other friends heading back to the US on other airlines! Very neat!
@MetallicAus In the middle of the pacific ocean. To be more specific its the Hawaiian Islands. I take this flight and a COA flight directly to Newark very often to visit family on the East Coast. I live just north of HNL.
Take off speed, where the plane can safely rotate and climb is determined by the weight/weather situations. A certain "max" thrust is input by the plane's computer and/or pilot, and they use that max thrust for takeoff power, however, eventually the plane reaches a speed and altitude where it is not necessary to apply that much thrust, thus, the pilot will reduce power. It also saves on engine wear and fuel.
Yea that's a PW4xxx engine for sure. I am not sure what variant it is. United use Pratt Whitney's on their 777's as far as I know. And also.. That turbo fanblade noise at takeoff and climb thrust is awesome XD.
@ikolkyo967 The engine as seen in the video is a PW4090. All United originating 777 aircraft (especially from the date this was posted) were powered by PW4090 engines.
@velisarios2 Only two types. The Boeing 777-200LR and the A340-500. Currently, it's only being flown by the A340-500, even though the 777-200LR has more range.
@SingaporeAirflyer Find out the distance the aircraft can fly in still air, find out the distance between the two cities, at 500nm to that distance for fuel reserves, and you have your range you need. You also have to factor in winds aloft, etc. It's a complicated process, but trust me, those two aircraft have a significant range gain over any other aircraft in production and are the only one who can operate it non-stop daily.
That's definitely is 32L, I drive past/length of the runway everyday to and from work and enjoy all the heavy's taking off and landing. At 13,000 feet long or about 2.5 miles long that heavy 777 had plenty of runway left at liftoff.
I couldn't agree more! Or like a dinosaur yelling in the distance. I remember the 1st time I took a 773ER to Tokyo and when he started 'em the whole plane shook. Good video btw..
Thank god for UA-cam....this is as close to flying on a 777 as I'm every going to get! Unless British Airways starts flying them from Seattle to London....
Personally I prefer the GE-90 series and the RR Trents, but it's not the take off at full thrust that I love, it's the whirring of the engines at idle and slow movements of taxi thrust that I love. It sounds like a deep whale call.
@tonyde52 Actually Delta was the last to have a 757 in MDW, and they didn't have difficulty operating them there. A 757 can land easily in 6400Ft. I also live in Chicago, and have a few friends that work at they airport. They said the last 757 there was in 2009 when the Delta NWA merger was going through.
@velisarios2 Take a look at Newark-Singapore. That is flown nonstop. Granted, it's the longest nonstop flight in the world. But Continental flies Newark to Honolulu daily. I believe that is the longest US domestic flight.
777s can use either the GE90, RR Trent 800 or the PW4000. The 772LR and 773ERs ONLY use the GE90. The 777-300ER uses the GE90-115B while the 772LR can use the GE90-110B or GE90-115B. ( The engine the guy was talking was the GE90-115B) The 777 in this video has PW4000 engines.
@SingaporeAirflyer No, the A340-500 and the 777-200LR are the ONLY aircraft that can fly this route with the required amount of fuel and enough passengers to make a profit.
I think it 's blocked around 8.5 hours, which is longer than Chicago-London...interesting huh? I think the actual flight time on this particular flight of mine was about 8hr 09min or something close to that.
@c172kid Not ANYMORE!!!! I LIVE in Chicago. ATA was flying some 757 jets into Midway, but with difficulty. After the Southwest runway accident in Dec 2008, the 737 is THE LARGEST jet that is used. Southwest Airlines is the MAJOR carrier at Midway, and they have an all 737 fleet.Just for the record!
Looks like he took off from 32L, which is 13,000 ft in length. Depending on which model 777 this is, the takeoff run at max weight (which is improbable) might be as low as 8,000 feet, which is less than 3/4 of the runway :D
@ImmortalSynn Well, I think customer-wise, the majority of 777's have GE-90's, followed by RR, then PW. GE won the contract for the 300ER 200LR models, so you can't order those with any other engine. Actually, I'm going to go out on a limb and say RR and GE are probably tied. PW is a definite third. Good engines nonetheless!
United was one of the last devoted P&W purchasers....P&W has been losing market share in the big commercial engines such as this one. With United's recent orders of 787's and A350's, neither of which are P&W powered, United now joins the ranks of most other airlines in having fleets of GE and RR powered planes.
@amandeuce You will not have them in economy. Only main screens at the bulkheads and down the aisles on domestic 777's. But, United is supposed to start reconfiguring ALL of their 777's in Business and Economy soon. So we will see.
Jeg tror at dette er en fin video, fortsett slik. Motoren er så kraftig og høyt. Den bringer tilbake en masse minne om da jeg pleide å fly disse flyene. De er svært ny i markedet. Tommelen opp.
D: RR > P&W... Oh well, RR are probably the most expensive of the 3 engine makes available for the 777. :p Judging how they are the least used (at least, from what I've seen)
@jeffymc1995 I thought the GE90-94 had more share on the 200ER? I know the GE90-110 and -115 is the only option you can get on the 200LR and 300ER. Then again, the 200LR is... Very uncommon, and not many operate the 300ER either.
Actually, aircraft, the Boeing 777 in particular uses far less gas per seat mile than any car on the road. Meaning, assuming you have a full load of passengers on this particular aircraft, the fuel consumption per mile per passenger is much less than driving from Chicago to Honolulu. :-) Aircraft, especially modern jets like this are much more environmentally friendly than cars.
@SingaporeAirflyer Per the airbus website, the A380 has a range of 9000NM with the 56,000lbs thrust engines. The A380 has a range of 8207NM. In miles, this is 10,357miles for the A340-500 and 9444mi for the A380. The 777-LR has a range of 9365NM, which converts to 10,777mi. The distance of EWR-SIN is 9535mi, this the A380 cannot make this flight. The 777-300ER, and the A340-600 can't either.
@DapperJas I cannot argue with you. However, Boeing just deliverd their last 744 not lonbg ago, so there is no commerical business model yet for the 748 (and there may never be) - UNLESS you are Lufthansa (where 1/2 of the A380 is made [Germany]) or Korean Airlines. The A380 will pass on to Emirates only eventually and then airshow duty. The 787, 777, A350, A330 will see to that. 748F will take all freight whilst the A380 slowly withers away like the A340...into oblivion, never quite made it.
it is cool to still find old videos like these in 2021
Cant get enough of the 777 plane engine noise!Nor the other planes!;)
Big engine, great sound and some amazing wingflex, all very nice! Love to fly the 777!
5/5
I love watching this flight climb up through the clouds.
Gorgeous view and engine sound! But what I love the most is how the white mark moves in the middle of the engine.XD
taking off is my favorite feeling. just that fast g-forced power! and thats why im going to be a pilot so i can see places and feel those g-forces!
Such beautfull sounding GE90's As a Flight attendant it still amaze's me how GE-90'S are so soft and pratts not so soft sounding

I've never flown on a 777. That is one big engine!
Nice Job ! Thanx for Sharing .
Nice view of this PW engine, and great sound too.
Props to PhilG380!
what an amazing view of the engine.
Look at the Pratt @Whitney logo on the inner side of engine. Love the nose when he reuces power in the climb...
That engine is 3% smaller than the diameter of the cabin of a 737. What an incredible peace of technology.
awesome engine roar!!!!
Awesome cloud shots :)
The engines sound great! I love boeing!!!
fantastic take off
that is such a brill video,i love that white engine mark as well, superb!!!
NIce Job Phil.
Great video!
Love that sound
Hello!Nice takeoff to Honolulu!=)
Nice sunny/cloudy weather!=)
I give you 5 star!=)
Greeting TheCARRE74=)
@amandeuce Yes, flat screen pull out TV's are standard on United Domestic First on widebody aircraft.
wow, it was so awesome film! :D
I've taken this flight United 1 to HNL a few times now and it a 777-200 with PW engines.
This happened to me once. I was waiting for my flight back to the states (Dallas) in Buenos Aires. I went to sit down at the gate and looked to the right of me and saw a girl I went to high school with and then saw their entire family! They were all headed out on different flights, one to MIA, one to JFK, and one to DFW. Was really weird, but interesting!

Very nice video.
That's when the captain goes from takeoff thrust to climb thrust. The engine slows down a bit and the harmonics sound a bit different.
Aloha Phil:
Great video man, hope you enjoyed your stay here in Hawaii. Keep these videos coming!
yeah, i like that engines of United, i guess :)
nice video!
those are my fav. =D

Wow! You turned on 32L past the landing markrs!
Oh man, nice video and sound!!! Love the way that wing bends....
Brb.... have to change my pants
CHICAGO.............I LOVE YOU!
@velisarios2 Only two types. The Boeing 777-200LR and the A340-500. Currently, it's only being flown by the A340-500, even though the 777-200LR has more range.
@tonyde52 No they operate 757's out of there too.
WOW thats high! Err long!
@ShalemariTV I'm pretty sure there is That doesn't look like the size of a -115B.
cool view angle.... 5*
did you have your own screen in seat? cheers
nice video!! this engines are P&W4000!
@PhilG380
I enjoy the sound of Pratt and Whitney's more than GE and RR :)

The GE-90s and RR trent 800s sound like there shouting at you in a deep voice where as the P&Ws more humm, even though I prefer the trents and GE-90s.
I couldn't agree more! Or like a dinosaur yelling in the distance. I remember the 1st time I took a 773ER to Tokyo and when he started 'em the whole plane shook. Good video btw..

Nice video...my girlfriend flies for United.
I hope your stay here in Hawaii was enjoyable.
my bad thought all 777 had ge90's must be just int flights thanks for the update....
Personally I prefer the GE-90 series and the RR Trents, but it's not the take off at full thrust that I love, it's the whirring of the engines at idle and slow movements of taxi thrust that I love. It sounds like a deep whale call.

@chairliftsrcool
Maybe because the runway behind it was being used for landing
@velisarios2 Take a look at Newark-Singapore. That is flown nonstop. Granted, it's the longest nonstop flight in the world. But Continental flies Newark to Honolulu daily. I believe that is the longest US domestic flight.
Was that a 32L departure from T10? Coz I did the same thing when I flew UA 1 in June.
@velisarios2 Yes, nonstop. 8.5 hours is nothing as far as flights are concerned these days.
777s can use either the GE90, RR Trent 800 or the PW4000. The 772LR and 773ERs ONLY use the GE90. The 777-300ER uses the GE90-115B while the 772LR can use the GE90-110B or GE90-115B. ( The engine the guy was talking was the GE90-115B) The 777 in this video has PW4000 engines.
How about a nice GE-90115B at full thrust? Those make the ground shake, not to mention music to my ears. But the P&W's are good too.
@SingaporeAirflyer No, the A340-500 and the 777-200LR are the ONLY aircraft that can fly this route with the required amount of fuel and enough passengers to make a profit.

13 foot high winglets at that! Aviation Partners Boeing is doing them.
how long was the flight?

You right girl, I ain't touchin' that. Have at it.
@JWissemes They would...
man this airplane takes forever to lift off!
Were did you find that out?
@ImmortalSynn Well, I think customer-wise, the majority of 777's have GE-90's, followed by RR, then PW. GE won the contract for the 300ER 200LR models, so you can't order those with any other engine. Actually, I'm going to go out on a limb and say RR and GE are probably tied. PW is a definite third. Good engines nonetheless!
@OhMaiLanta those are not P&W, those are the big daddies GE90s
Personally, I prefer the sound of the GE-90 as it has more of a whirrrr and woosh sound to it.
Switch from take-off thrust to climb thrust
@XDlosDominicans LOL. Have fun!
THUNDER!
@MetallicAus the capital of hawaii

ORD to HNL non stop is about 8 - 8 1/2 hours.
i had first class on united going from denver to hawaii
oh thanks for your information..yeah but i think its not a big problem, i fly because i love it and not to watch movies.. :P
@XDlosDominicans where are you flying to? Next flight I'm taking will be in 15th July for 11 hours. London to Los Angeles :D
@amandeuce You will not have them in economy. Only main screens at the bulkheads and down the aisles on domestic 777's. But, United is supposed to start reconfiguring ALL of their 777's in Business and Economy soon. So we will see.

No. The fan itself is around 112 inches, and the intake should be somewhat the same.
D: RR > P&W... Oh well, RR are probably the most expensive of the 3 engine makes available for the 777. :p Judging how they are the least used (at least, from what I've seen)
R these engines PW or GE?

Man, You are fucking lucky, i wanna go to hawaii, but im going to australia in march, still good tho :D
i wish i could go..
I think about 200,000 lbs, in that ballpark anyway ... he used quite a bit of runway
+5 stars

to me all 777 engines have that distinctive whine on 0:31.
