One of the best informational videos I've seen. Good wording. Great visuals. From the commercial version of the J-79 (CJ805) from Evendale Ohio to the leading edge of engine technology by GE today, I can see great futures for both the company and the aircraft manufacturers in need of new power plant designs.
If your amazed it can stop a 400 ton plane.. god just wait till you see how game changing shockingly powerful they are.. they can no only stop them but they can make them fly.
even God when seeing this great machine, asked himself is there a god greater then him? And as lightning and fire flashed across the universe the answer was yes G.E.
Yes they are , I spent the last eight years of a very long career in the airlines on the 777. Those engines are incredible. The navy uses the same engine core to power their destroyers

The C-5M Super Galaxy is equipped with five sets of landing gear, 28 wheels, four General Electric CF6-80C2-L1F (F-138) commercial engines. The C-5A and C-5B variants had the General Electric TF-39 engines. Those engines had a familiar scream as the engines spun up or prepared to land.
I’ve flown in the passenger compartment in the rear, a nice comfortable ride. When I was deployed to Rota Spain with Fleet Hospital, five, you could hear the screaming Mimi‘s, as I called them, leaving almost around the clock. And awesome aircraft.
Yes. Lockheed built the C-141 that was designed by Convair. Lockheed then used that same windshield and flight deck design for the C-5. And Convair did that engineering when Kennedy was president.
some dude PUSHING a breaker bar wrench - duh! - go round to other side and pull it - basic mechanics training from 60 years ago - so much is lost with time!! such a mighty machine!!😊😊😊
A veteran captain on 747 and A340-600, said that he typically pumped six metric tons of Jet A-1 through the 747's engines during the few seconds of reverse thrust. That's 1.5 metric tons per engine. Imagine what the fuel lines look like.
Die C 5 Galaxy hat ein beindruckendes T-Leitwerk. Die Tragflächen, als Schulterdecker ausgeführt, sind richtig positioniert. Wenn man die Boeing 777 mit dem T-Leitwerk und die Triebwerke, wie bei der erfolgreichen 727, anordnen würde braucht man nur noch die Tragflächen um ein Segment nach hinten verschieben. Gehe davon aus, dass die tolle 777 bei gleicher Belastung und gleicher Betankung 800 km mehr Reichweite erreicht.
Possibly. But they need to return to cables for flight controls. If hydraulics or batteries fail, the pilots can still control the aircraft with more effort. But Boeing is often the lowest bidder. And to be this, they must compromise safety. And they do. The DC-8, 880 and 990 had 3-wing spars for safety. Boeing just had 2 to save money. The Convairs had separate pressurized hatches for hydraulic pumps than in the wheel wells. Boeing did not. So, if a 707 put up the wheels while one tire was hot, it could sever hydraulic lines, bringing down the airplane.
This is rather unerwhelming. Here we are talkining up these engine like they are the next bing thing. But they are far from that. These engines are/were widely used in commercial avaition. So reverse thrust stopping power has been a thing for quite a while. Also the power plants here only put out 43,000Lb--f each The Airbus A380 and Boeing 777 which use either the GP7270 or the Rollys Royce Trent 900 which produces 81,500Lb-f of thurst each. Even the newer A350 using the Rolls Royce XWB-84 engine produces 84,200Lb-f of thrust but has an option to go up to the XWB-97 for a massive 97,000Lb-f. Still the C-5 Galaxy is an amazing plane and back in the 70's it was for sure ahead of its time.
Well, the video got you to watch it by speaking of thrust reversing on the C-5A. But that was only to get you to watch it. But know that the A-380 only has thrust reversing on the inboard engines. Interesting isn't it. I imagine their brakes are pretty awesome.
Fighter pilot on escort mission to cargo pilot: “Hey watch this” and does a roll Cargo pilot says, “That was cool. Watch this” 5 minutes later he says, “What do you think of that?” Fighter pilot: “What did you do?” Cargo pilot: “Restroom break”
Aircraft are basically designed around the engines. Because of things like weight and clearances a new engine design usually isn't installed on planes they were not designed for.
I know a guy that flew this beast during his AF career. One of his flights consisted of taking the NR-1 submarine across the country from Virginia to Commiefornia or someplace like that.
They don't have thrusters. That is movie talk. They have thrust reversers. And these are so good that the A-380 only has thrust reversers on the inboard engines. Of course, they certainly also use big brakes.
God certainly gave GE and others the materials and intelligence for these great feats. But we can hear who listened to God to build thee great airplanes and their engines.
The Tf39 engines are small these days... Rolls Royce makes a much more powerful engine. hell Antanov engines are even more powerful... the C5 is ancient. GE is not even in the running for new engines. Like Boing.. they sat on their ass and did not keep up to the world. and the world left them behind.
GE produced the GenX which rivaled the RR variant for the 787 project. Those engines are absolutely massive and produce OBSURD amounts of thrust. But what's fascinating is that the C-5s program is what made the push to develope the high bypass Turbo fan types we now see as common place on most commercial wide bodies and jumbos.
Actually not. Most of the thrust comes from a bypass fan that pushes fresh oxygen rearward. They are efficient and pretty clean. The C-5 was always a little smokey.
The commentary, with its mini-pauses and exaggerated pronunciation might be OK for English Second Language students but is patronising for the rest of us. Try speaking as you would at a family get-together - the sheer scale of engine and aircraft is dramatic enough in its own right not to need vocal dramatics.
thumbs up to the amazing engineers creating these engines without googling stuff up.
Reverse thrust is an indicator of technological marvel? Hasn’t this technology been around for decades and also appears on literally every airliner?
-The A-380 only has inboard thrust reversers and great brakes.
Great Video
Ich würde sogar empfehlen diesen Kanal komplett aus dem Markt zu nehmen
I had the opportunity in my military years to know pilots . Those power plants are amazing . Wow !
It astounds me that someone can design an aircraft that can carry such humongous weights! 😮😊😊😊

The A380 engines have twice the power of those in the C5...
What about the ge9x 777 engines?

Love your videos, recent watcher from another heavy vehicle driver. Pat.
GE 90's used in the 777 are almost twice as powerful, maybe the TF39 's were the most powerful in the late 1960's. Still an amazing airplane.

The A380 is a big plane.. Huge
Airline mechanic. Love GE engines. I think the civilian version is the CF6.
Super heavy power engines 👌!!! Amazing!!!
Those are absolutely massive engines! 😮
Not compared to the GE9X
Nowadays just average!
Of course they are.. They’re meant to produce thrust to what.. 200 tonnes of steel?
Everytime the host mentions the TF-39 they show pictures of the CF6
amazing!!!

Merci pour votre diction claire, distincte et sans accent. Ce qui me permet de suivre votre chaine en anglais.thank you so much,from France.
Too bad there were only 5 orders filled recently. The C-5 is being discontinued and replaced by the C-17.
The guys at Rolls Royce are simply standing there...laughing
Do they even fly the c5 anymore ?
Maravilhoso !!
What is about General Electric GE90. I think C-5 engine are nowadays quite old fashioned
C5A is an old Airplane but still impressive, yes GE90 and G9X are the most powerful today.
Yes. Lockheed built the C-141 that was designed by Convair. Lockheed then used that same windshield and flight deck design for the C-5. And Convair did that engineering when Kennedy was president.
Parece una Ballena flotando en el aire. Sehr beeindrucken, hammer.
How much did GE pay for this commercial?
Indeed. The script is not heavy on actual technical details, it’s too fluffy.
Someone got a kickback lol
Nothing
I’d say $100k
Be thankful that we have such wonderful Engering
How much airlines could save by reverse thrust,No Push Back Needed
In San Diego once a pilot tried that on a commercial jet. It blew in the terminal's plate glass windows.
you are showing the GE CF6 engines on the C-5M Super Galaxy, but are describing the TF-39 of the C5A, C5B, and C5C (original) Galaxy.

This is absolutely magnificent I've never seen a plane like this one before. 😃😀👍
Don't brag
You are not the only one the world
It’s 400 ton not “400 tons engines”.

Sadly he lied to you…they don’t use 12000 lbs of fuel in the reverse phase.
is that the model they were hanging off at Kabul airport?

Boeing and GE, match made in heaven.
Might want to check your facts. The C-5 was built by Lockheed in Marietta.
The 1st commercial jet to use GE jet engines was the Convair 880. Then the 990 had GE fan engines with the fans in the rear.
It will send many to heaven for sure.
TF-39s sound great.
The Boeing 777. Now, is that the one that flies itself into the ground, bursts into flames because of its' batteries, or sheds doors in flight??
That's the 787.
What is that background music from 3:46 to 5:44?
The GE90.
There are rocket engines that have less thrust.
Rocket power plants operate on a different principle, the fast transfer of weight.
Boeing offers so many extra features in their planes, these days. 😁
Possibly. But they need to return to cables for flight controls. If hydraulics or batteries fail, the pilots can still control the aircraft with more effort. But Boeing is often the lowest bidder. And to be this, they must compromise safety. And they do. The DC-8, 880 and 990 had 3-wing spars for safety. Boeing just had 2 to save money.

Is it Possible for a C5 to land on A CVN?
Wow.
'nuff said.
hello from SOC/WAHQ mister 😍😍😍
At GE, quality, is job one! Opps, that's Ford. But these are some bad boy engines, made in America!
Did you mean "oops instead of "opps?"
U guys’ delivery is sooooo damn slow, I’m generally am a patient guy but this is just way to mush pause.

Surprised they don't put for GENX's on the C5s.
Put some handles on the fuselage so the Afghans don't fall off

Nothing compared the GE-90.
Reverse thrust? Impressive maybe but only 80% of forward thrust when using bypass engines.
The Antonov is bigger and has much more powerful engines, C5 is a baby in comparison
This is true. But the AN is a little more unrefined.
@@danielocarey9392 Hey it does the job and thats what its all about.
MashaAllah
Along with the flaps and brakes.
GE and A380? It was not a match!
The MAX8 is the one that flies into the ground.
If they can make 400 tons fly then of course they could stop the same 400 ton object....
The wheel brakes help stop the plane more then the engines do....
I use to work for Generous Electric.
would have been nice to hear it insted of all BS talking over it,,
BS? Boy Scout?
Why don’t they try to GE 9X engines are more powerful than all four on the C5. Check the thrust ratio.
Aircraft are basically designed around the engines. Because of things like weight and clearances a new engine design usually isn't installed on planes they were not designed for.
Too much hype for me in the script and vioce-over style. All not needed, the kit speaks for itself.
Yeah, every little detail is described as massive and awe inspiring. It makes it less awe inspiring if you keep saying that for everything.
The script sucks, for sure.
Available in kit form?
🙏🙏👍🎉
Antonov AN-124가 더 크지요
Hilarious....you're talking about TF-39 engines but these are the new military version of the commercial CF-6.
Everything is great, until an airline mechanic makes mistakes servicing it.
I know a guy that flew this beast during his AF career. One of his flights consisted of taking the NR-1 submarine across the country from Virginia to Commiefornia or someplace like that.
Yeah but Wilbur can the damn thing fly?
Somehow, I thought this was going to be about jet engines. I was wrong.
The fan blade have wrong angel
Many designs today have a sweeping angular change from spool to tip.
Buran was not a Space Shuttle, if we’re using NASA terminology
The Buron was flown once into space, and without people in it. But it was designed for cosmonauts to be inside for space flights, I understand.
If they tried to stop this for hundred ton plane using only reverse thrusters, they would run off the end of the runway. Every time.
They don't have thrusters. That is movie talk. They have thrust reversers. And these are so good that the A-380 only has thrust reversers on the inboard engines. Of course, they certainly also use big brakes.
@@danielocarey9392 yeah yeah yeah. And it's phasers that they don't have. Phasers
I know how to transfer the heavy duty engines steadily and smoothly
An annoying sales pitch
Antonovs baby boy
A 787 out powers that. and RR plants witch where intentionally made w/ additional power. It would be 2 = 1 787 takes her lead.
Yes but whose to get the credit.
God Almighty or Mankind?
I choose God Almighty.😅😅😅

This is made by American for American consumers. Of course it will be grandiose talk and few technical details.

It's too expensive to be used on the ground
Ton* not Tons. U guys are def not in the states with this poor grammar.
OK. But your writing here is poor. You need a comma or two and at least one period.

Carbon footprint as large as a Davos convention.
