BIG WING PRESSURE 💪🏻 😲 JAL 777 APPROACHES LAX IN HIGH HUMIDITY FOG

During our last visit to LAX, high humidity was causing unprecedented fog conditions. So much so that at times visibility, for us, was down to less than 200yds! When it cleared (enough) we had some great examples of wing condensation, especially with this JAL 777 landing on Rwy 24R.

Awesome @BIG JET TV...In Physics it is called Adiabatic Cooling. Low pressure on the upper wing surface allows volume expansion and cooling (loss of heat) of humid air which reduces temperature and thus condenses. The air has to 'Do Work' during the expansion and thus losses energy (Temperature). Volume is inversely proportional to Pressure.

[@birdman4274]

It's also like that little cloud you get when you crack open a can of fizzy drink and the pressure suddenly drops. Also deodorant spray cloud formed by drop in pressure and why it feels cold on your skin. It's all the same process 'Adiabatic Cooling'

I'm sure you all remember PV = nRT, the "ideal gas law" Simplified: Pressure x Volume = Temperature. So if the volume stays the same, lowering the pressure will lower the temperature... just enough to get to the dew point =)

Wow wow wow,spectacular ✈️😍

[@mirrorsmsm]

This what i said on chats as the Ribbons of the day !! 😊

[@Pittsburgh.Steelers.official]

Awesome!

[@TC.C]

We’ve never seen as big as this anywhere! LAX rocks !

[@LadyJoolree]

All kinds of floof are great, oh yes they are! 😊

[@omally]

Didn't know JAL had a Falcon that big!

[@TC.C]

@@omally 😂

[@creperanch8968]

buttered the bread, beautiful landing

[@janinekelly93]

Amazing

[@cottonhiker]

Fantastic footage, WOW!!!🙏🇺🇸

[@aditya_londhe]

Amazing floofage!! Also love the whistle from the mighty GEs kicking in at 0:25

[@KatsCats2619]

Awesome 👌

[@lizmatthewman4039]

Wow love the 🎀 ribbons on the Wings 😍✈️

[@RainbowLove72]

Now that was amazing 😊

[@denijkerksetreinspotter]

Wow!

[@KuniI-ss7qx]

Awesome footage Jerry!! I'm so happy if you remember me when you took it 😁

[@lesdonaldson520]

Bad weather definitely has its upsides Amazing and ribbons 👍

[@dfunk1866]

Awesome

[@fl_3682]

Nice.

[@AvroArrow4351]

It was a magical moment

[@mrkc10]

Smoooth!

[@bns1015]

Look at you on "Bat Bridge"!

[@BestOfAviation]

Hey when are you gonna post that A350 Virgin Hard landing. I was looking forward to it…

[@tinabenfield3541]

That’s well cool

[@rabh6746]

The weather wasn't the best but theand ribbons certainly were😁

[@birdman4274]

The weather was ideal. Humid air provided ideal conditions for this over a low pressure wing surface leading to adiabatic expansion and condensation. The conditions were perfect. And it's exactly why you don't always see this.

[@julieb3996]

Jerry's visit to LA was unfortunately damp and gray, but the wing streamers were epic that day! He brought some of the Londong Fog with him!

[@omally]

Floofapalooza!!!

[@jcmanc72]

Niiice

[@cybergamer-dx6qz]

Is the big jet tv phone case available for the iPhone 7

[@alexfoxy]

They forgot to turn the chemtrails off!! 😂

[@janinekelly93]

Fluffage and pretty wibbons ✈️

[@apollorobb]

I would Surmise that ALL fog would be High Humidity

[@cun7us]

JAL need to update their livery with something more interesting.

[@jbmatey3072]

The top of the wing is low pressure ... the bottom of the wing is high pressure ... just saying ...

[@trinity72gp]

PERFECT conditions 😍👌🏾
