Don't Walk Under the Plane Wings, Here's Why
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 19 มิ.ย. 2024
- There’s so much going on in airports and on board the planes that you don’t need to bother learning it all. But there are things you do want to know - yet no one will tell you about them.
Do you know, for example, why if you get off the bus and step away too much, the ground crew might ask you not to walk under the airplane wings? Or what a ‘decision altitude’ is? Or what is a reason you won’t ever see an elderly person or a child in the emergency exit row? Wanna know those and other secrets? Here they are!

SUMMARY:
- The wings of a passenger plane are quite close to the ground, and you can hit your head on them if you’re inattentive; and second, again, if an engine starts and you’re close by, you just might be wooshed into the turbine.
- There’s an incredibly complex illumination system on the ground that helps the crew navigate the airplane, and it’s not just the red and white lights along the runway.
- A ‘decision altitude’ is a point of no return when the crew has to make a choice: either to land the aircraft or to go up and make another circle around the airport. Any lower, and there would be no going back.
- If an emergency does occur, the passenger sitting closest to the exit might have to open the door for the rest of the people on board.
- If you lean back, you might block the passenger right behind you, and in case of emergency they’ll have a much harder time evacuating.
- Regulations require that water be taken from secure sources, but not all airlines follow this rule and simply boil tap water.
- Airplanes go through a very thorough check before every flight, and there are literally no secret hiding places anyone could use.
- First thing that gets started on an airplane is not the engines - it’s the APU, or the auxiliary power unit. It’s a small additional engine located in the tail of the airplane that kickstarts the electrical systems and bleeds air for the engines and air conditioning inside the cabin.
- You’ve surely noticed how much louder the airplane becomes when it’s landing. You might think it’s the engines, but in reality that’s the reverse thrusters being deployed.
- On average, flights are becoming slower and slower with each decade. Today, for example, a flight from New York to Chicago would take about 20 minutes longer than it did in the mid-90s.

Guys, how often do you travel by plane?
Always.
Very less
All the time

0:39 oh... where are we going..
We're going to die Duh... :P
I was like 69😂
Oof you don't wanna know

6:05 Thank you soo much you told me! i was just about to do that! you saved my life
HOW DOES THIS N9T HAVE MORE LIKES
common don't exaggerate
UzzyXX lol
Sarcastic.
🙄
Yes! Always check with with the person behind before reclining the seat, even for a little bit. I have had a laptop screen broken when the passenger in front of me leaned back abruptly without checking.
0:39 I laughed at this part Idk why XD
0:07
Everyone:Smiling
One man:*Falls*
LOL
Lol!!!
Things bright side is obsessed with: phones and planes.
John Smith and bulbs 😅
Yep
So that me as a aviation enthusiast can criticize them xD
True
So
Another reason for not walking under the wing is due fuel vent's,
During refueling, the vents at the end of the wings are open to allow pressure equalisation, so vapour will be escapeing. also if the automatic shut off valves fail, they are also overflow vents to allow excess fuel to escape meaning anyone under the vent at the time will get a jet A1 shower.
7:03 I’m a hybrid of a jet engine plane and a turboprop. My jet engine sounds like a Cessna 172 propeller on a 737-800
daniel cz 😂😂
So true
lol
Keep on making great videos👍👍
There’s something on the wing....something! William Shatner.
Dave Chills LOL!!!!!
There’s something on the right wing is a part of airplane story in Roblox it’s scary

Thanks BRIGHT SIDE!
I happen to be somewhat disabled, I walk with forearm crutches and I have cerebral palsy. Despite that, on one Relatively short flight over 40 years ago, about 400 miles or one hour, I was sitting next to the emergency exit. I was the one who said to the flight crew member “shouldn’t I move” and they said to not worry about it. Nothing happened, but that’s why I’m always very conscious to not get myself into the position of being next to the emergency exit.
Bright Side: No one tells you about
* *the crew says dont walk under the wings of an airplane* *
Obviously it's just in case the plane's wing falls off!
Bit silly to suggest it’s fine to not wear your seat belt when the sign is off. You should wear your seatbelt at all times unless going to the toilet. Turbulence can happen at a moments notice, no getting signs from the air stewardess sitting down, and you can be throw up. There is literally no good reason to not wear your seatbelt at all times, no good reasons.
Good point and so right I always wear the seat belt it's better than Smashing your skull on the roof or finding yourself upside down in the aisle covered in airline food
Folks, this guy know how to think for himself and not accept what he is spoon fed.
6:59 No, the reverse thrusters do not get deployed in mid air or the plane will stall out.
This narrator is best ❤
1:41 “incredibly complex lighting system” its literally just normal lights on the runway and PAPI-s
I Think That Mostly Referred To The Paint That Glows Also, But... What Do I Know.
👉😎👈
Deshawn LowkeyAss The paint doesnt glow but the lights on the runway and taxiway lines do
It is , be caus he can turn it on from miles by buttons inside the cabins

Yahia please say your joking...
Every flight I've taken where you are driven to the airplane (versus walking down a jetway) have always had markers or cones of where you were to walk with people guiding you.
1:44 - "...incredibly complex illumination system..."
I'm not sure that I like the word 'incredibly' in that sentence.
Or complex. You would want it to be simple and reliable.....
To pilots, it is simple.
Basically, there are four lights. If all four are red, you are too low. If three are red and one is white, you are a bit low but okay. If you see two reds and two whites, you’re just right. Three whites and one red, you are a bit high. If you see 4 whites, you are way too high.
As four horizontal directions, you just line up with the runway. A localizor (a signal from a system located near the runwayj can be used to allign the aircraft before the runway are insight.
There is another method that pilots use to find the runway. It can be used with or without lights or when weather is bad. It involves a complicated series of radio beacons, communicating with the aircraft that indicates the planes position relative to a recommended glide path assisting in landing both with directional input as well as altitude and ground proximity inputs. This is often called riding the wire, and can be done safely in zero visibility.
Decision altitude is the altitude where if you don't see the rwy you go around. You can go around even after it if something doesn't look right
I love plane videos.
Also at 0:39 Where are we going? In the engine LOL
You missed one. On helicopters, you never approach from the front or rear, due to the fact that's how the helicopter moves forward and backwards. The blades can be tilted at extreme angles. The only way to properly approach a helicopter is from the side due to the angle of pitch now being so great
You helped me and the class i am in,Year 5 we did some riddles i told my teacher to do them.
1:07 You skipped the sentence but subtitles did the talking for you.
I've heard of someone getting decapitated by a helicopter blade, so I'm not going to trust you on that one.
That Is NOT A Vacuum Engine.

Based on my intellectual capacity and my vast knowledge, tactically and tentatively, right from the beginning of times especially in the light of Ecclesiastes evolution, I have come to a concrete, definite and profound conclusion that I actually have nothing to say. Thank you.

ive had carbonated drinks sooo many times and ive been fine so i dont
see your point

Everytime I see new videos, I learn almost everything new....
I love airplane video’s from brightside especially from this spokesperson ❤️
Hello
You must watch Gladjakkers. They have made the best airplane safety video
This makes cars and trains an edge over the fastest mode of transport.
Good advice 😉
7:10 WII Sports! STRIKE!
No one:
Commentator: knows everything in the universe
It's called research
@gamer.20years.and everyone has the ability to know. Research is the key! :)
@@naytzerk6558 or you can just know it
@@roseedits102 you just can't know it without obtaining information.

Hey, what about the ILS? It helps pilots more than just lights.
thx for telling us the safety
my big sister took a pic with her friend where she was sat on a plane engine ;-;
thx for the info keep on working on the vid cause itz sooooooo coollll
Hiii
@@androidtips137 hi
@@jgyfestivethe_sec1483 how are you dear
Bright Side, when are you going to become a pilot? Lol You know just about everything you need to know to be a pilot, with all the videos you make about planes!!!! Lol I love you guys!!!!!
(This is just a joke people.)
A lot of what they say is ignorant of actual things. For example in this video, the reverse thrusting. Not using them doesn't mean that the plane will overshoot. No, that's all up to the computer. Pilots use reverse thrusting to keep the wear and tear on the brakes down.
Thanks
Bright side create so many videos on airplane that a separate channel can be made
I'm Literally TIRED Of These Plane Vids. Okay, We Get It.... You Used To Be A Pilot Who Flew With A Parachute. Let's Talk About These Man Made Clouds Now...

I pray to God that you soon reach 50 million because I like your information.
2:11 *FOR ME THE MOST DANGEROUS IN FLIGHT IS TAKE OFF* like in 2:32 "No going back"
I think landing is still the hardest if you hit the ground too hard you bounce and can loose control injure someone
@@Gorgile1939 then u go easy landing or land smoothly even no wheels then rub the belly of the plane cuz in take off if ur engine suddenly fails while taking off and it's in high altitudes then it won't go easy to control cuz the plane's position in the air is diagonally upward where as in landing if ur engine or whatsoever fails that is hardly bad to the plane and u can't have control on it then it will became less difficult to the pilot to land they have many opportunities to not harm the passengers...
I have never got instructed when sitting in the exit row. I have demanded instructions.
I've never been in a airplane so i dont know how it feels.
Hello
Hello Dear Human.
@Shaan S hello sharukh Khan bt suno
It feels a bit like a roller coaster - strong, unnatural G forces. It’s really fun! And the view is spectacular.
You will sometime habibti
Bright side has so many videos but I watch them at least 10 times every day
This channel gives a lot of uneccessary stories come straight to the point
Oh the co2 one makes so much sense!
thank you, bright side
2:31 the Decision Altitude is the altitude at which you must go around if you are doing IFR approach and don't have the runway in sight. And there is no "point of no return". You can go around at any point during the approach if something isn't right, from airspeed and altitude to cabin crew not being seated, or an obstacle on the runway. You can even go around after the wheels touch down on the ground.
7:00 "the reverse thrusters are being deployed " me: boi. wot.
MATE DO YOUR RESEARCH PLEASE
9k+ people believe you and what you say
@@user-xb8oq8jt6l they are a real thing ya know.
It’s still just the engine.
Reverse thrusters are deploy when an aircraft already touchdowned
Title: Why you shouldn’t be under an airplane wing. What he really tells us : everything you need to know about a plane
If you love aircraft's this is the channel you need😉
5:05 wow! "not necessary"! It is part of safety regulation, approaching or deboarding an helicopter requires proper observation and attention since it might be that the rotor is tilted a bit sideward for some reason and it may cause fatal incident and not all helicopters are high enough. In simple words, always be cautious.
I would like to add on a reason why you cannot walk under the planes wings (stated at 1:06) there are many moving parts of the wings, such as flaps and slats, so therefore it is possible that it can hit you. You learn something new every day
Can you make another video about black holes
The engines will NOT start with out of permision of a ground crew. if someone of the ground crew spots somebody near the engines the start will be aboded
Please do video on Douglas DC planes.
What will happen if you sit on the plane's toilet during takeoff or landing. can you give an example on the video?
Why Do I skipped Ads?
WHO ELSE LOVES THE BRIGHT SIDE?! Been watching since last decade
❤️❤️🎁
@@KaseyStudies hiii
Well the subscriber does
I’ve seen both a person and a dog go ‘almost’ thru the arc of a spinning prop. Horrible!!
I haven't seen it yet but reverse thrusting is not needed to safety stop an airplane. It's only used to help keep the wear and tear on the brakes down.
You are always awesome
1:20 Everything aboard an aircraft is moving at the same velocity as the aircraft. In a smooth flight the cabin crew, and passengers going to and from the restroom, are not in danger...UNLESS: the aircraft flies into an air “pocket,” an engine explodes, other incident that causes a sudden change in the velocity of the aircraft. That’s why passengers are encouraged to keep their seat belts fastened.
During take-offs and landings, the aircraft accelerates rapidly, changes direction suddenly.
nice video
4 is for visual approaches only you didn’t talk about IFR at all there aswell as PAPI lights and the ILS
Bright Side, Congrats for 36Million Subs
5:50 what does it mean that passengers don't have seat assignment? Like you don't have a seat number on your boarding ticket? So basically a chaos at the line up before boarding the plane?
Wait this video is new just realized
I flown many planes in my lifetime and never had problem drinking coke or pepsi while at cruising altitude😁😁
1:35 When the plane is cruising, passengers can walk around and not die, right? The only danger during cruise is turbulence, but all of the things can go wrong during takeoff. It doesn't take a pilot to figure that out.
Wen we were going to Aruba the APU was not working.
6:34 I used to think that it was an additional engine in case all the engines failed
I heard reverse thruster are use to keep the brakes cool for a rejected take off when the plane tries to take off again.
Absolutely incorrect :)
It's for slowing down the plane after it has touched down.
I dont have any words to say but this is the only word
Nice
How do start the engines with the apu is deferred?
Is it just me or when before the flight I start worrying but then when I’m on the plane and in the sky I’m not scared
How do you know all this stuff!!!!???
I dont know what kind of people dislike your videos
Narrator : secrets that no one will tell you
Me : you are just going to tell me
*lol*
I thought the reason behind not to stay or walk under the air plane wings was that the wings would fall down 😂..
Bright side: there is no way to get onto a plane free undetected
Agent 47:hold my suit
Me: You cannot simply bowl with airplanes!
Bright Side: 7:10. Yes.
Bright side,If its really dark or foggy they have this thing called the ILS (instrument landing system)With some planes it can make the plane land it self but with other planes the ILS helps the plane land
"Some airports have long folding corridors to get to the plane"
Yup also know as a jet bridge but alright
I do not see something logic ,people are not aloud to go under wings cause the engine will randomly gets on if a passenger gets down a wing?
Airports, aircrafts... Every day...
2. Under the wings: thats wrong reasons. Hahahaha but funny.
2:09 ohhhh ryanair xd
First two are nothing to sneeze at. The Vail, CO airport is a prime example.
the APU is also called planus
