Hello Captain Joe. I'm working at airport and notice that some of engines have rubber cone in center. I'm keep asking captains what is a purpose of those rubbers, but no one can explain me. May be you know? Thank you for great content!
A Good pilot knows everything about his equipment. And always adapts new mechanical dexterity, safety techniques, and ability to foresee any issues to avoid.
Captain Joe same! Btw Captain Joe, can you please make a video about how you became a pilot? You said in your video “10 Reasons To Become a Pilot” that you would make a video about it
I formerly worked for an Airport. 33 1/2 years - just retired.. Years back I saw the aftermath of a ground crew person walking into a propeller. That's all that needs to be said. I choose to not describe it. It was a commuter and as thus had its own stairs for access / egress and as such the passengers had to stay on the bird until cleanup and the following accident investigation was nearly complete. The windows on that side were uh a very messy sight and those passengers could not help but view that. Thoughts and prayers to her family.
A few additional bits of information regarding the spinners on German aircraft in WW II. Aircraft on the Western front originally had black painted spinners as a quick identification aid. The spirals were eventually painted with white paint. In the Mediterranean theater, German aircraft had white noses for quick identification; the spiral stripe was painted with black. Curiously, on the Eastern front, yellow noses were the identification and no spirals were painted. Also, it was very rare for the Germans to have brightly painted prop tips, whereas most other nations used them, including the US, Britain and Japan.
Captain Joe Such An Inspiration! Going to be applying to study Pilot Studies at L3/ CTC Southampton which is 5 minutes away from me, or Pilot Studies at Bath University or Brunel London.
Congratulations on your new type rating, sir! I think flying the B747 is a dream shared by most, if not all airline pilots...they could not have chosen better! Hopefully we will get to see more 747 centric videos going forward :)
The evidence we have points to them flying in more or less of a straight line for a while after they lost radio contact, I'd guess something incapacitated the crew and the plane just kept on going straight due to the autopilot until it ran out of fuel and crashed in the middle of nowhere. Without actually recovering the plane we'll probably never know for sure though, so I'm not sure if there's much you could make a video about.
In 1978, my boss told me an aviation story. In WWII, he and other soldiers were standing on the ramp waiting to board a large military aircraft. The props were turning. All of a sudden he saw a dog run out under one engine and disappeared after being sucked into the prop. After which there was nothing to see. The dog was chewed up as much as he had been in a meat grinder. The boss stated it was a sobering experience about the power of aircraft engines. Something to remember. Thanks for the video. Since ground crews wear ear protection and have many distractions while working around aircraft, it would be easy for them to make the mistake the dog made.
vinay maruthi because even though dried paint weighs very little, all of the turbine blades must be perfectly balanced with each one weighing EXACTLY the same amount. Even a few grams of difference in weight can be enough to unbalance the engine particularly at high power settings.
The blades have to endure much higher temperatures and spin at higher speeds so the paint would likely just chip off. The cone being near the center rotates more slowly and doesn't have to endure the same forces so painting it is pretty simple.
When I was younger, I used to be addicted to seeing those. So everytime I go to an airport, I always want to see the spiral stuff. I have an interest in plane engines. I have only seen the G swirl and comma before
As a young boy, I read about a pilot that walked into his C-160 TransAll's spinning prop. Of course, he didn't survive. That was 40 or 50, maybe 60 yrs ago.
Yeah, but the quality of his videos is so bad I can barely watch them until the end... I hope he will get much better in the future, though. But for the moment there is no overlap between Mentour's and Joe's videos, despite having the same topic.
jorehir I think Mentour’s quality is great, but Joe and Mentour explain the context of their videos differently. Mentour likes to explain it face to face with some pictures but Joe likes to give more examples with quick clips while talking over. There are some improvements that Joe and Mentour can make but of course it is your opinion but I think their quality and style of making videos is great. Also Joe go’s into detail but his videos are styled for people new and into aviation but Mentour’s is more themed for people who are already into aviation so he explains using more terms but still they both go into great detail.
So, you _'still'_ love it? How generous. He's not nearly as brisk, collected and to the point as Joe. PLus the length of more than 9 min vs. 6:33. Plus he's this weird accent, revelling the unbearable rhotic _'r'_ because most foreign English speakers seem to think when they pronounce their _'r'_ very American-ish they'd sound like native speakers, while they don't care about all the rest of their pronunciation which is ... meh. Not so Joe. He practises a very native pronunciation indeed, so many non-native speakers wouldn't even guess that he's in fact a German. And just because someone else does sth. on YT doesn't mean anybody else couldn't do it better or at least differently, and if it was only to target a different audience. E.g. like me.
Even if they DO startle birds that won't necessarily prevent them from being sucked into a 75,000 lb. thrust engine operating at full blast. That's a frigging boatload of air moving real fast especially if you're a little bird that weighs a few ounces. Thanks for another great one Captain Joe!
Public nomenclature HAS become an industry standard name in the past....look up the Thagomizer on Wikipedia and see where that name came from....funny!
At first, the question about the use of that spiral seemed to me too obvious to be asked. But Captain Joe is teaching us several additionnal interestings facts about aircrafts. But one question remains to me: why isn't there a safety metal grid in front of the engine air entrance so that a ground worker or a bird would no be sucked into the turbine fan?
Given the durability of LEDs now, I wonder what if we simply have the rim of the engine front glow either red or green to indicate the engine is running. It'll look so cool too :)
Luv Sharma if you add paint to certain blades, there will always be an imbalance, it already takes a lot of effort to balance the blade now you also have to balance paint... and then during flight, you will have particles hitting the blades at random spots causing the paint to damage and again have a non uniform mass balance.
I know this is after the fact but it may have been interesting to show how loose the fan blades are as the forward cover was being installed. Most would be surprised at how much they clank & rattle around as the fan rotates. Just a thought.😊
I heard somewhere that the reason for a spiral, as opposed to a line or dots, is that it indicates the direction of rotation. Doesn't work on camera because of the way shutters work, but should be visible to the human eye
Why sad smiley here? He's looks excited about that big bird :) I'm just wondering, how it feels driving manual after all those years using auto gearbox lol (almost quote from Joe) )
Andrew Matros I agree, I love Boeing too, no hate there at all, I feel happy for Joe. But I’ll miss his Airbus related videos because now when he explains airplane parts and stuff, he’ll probably use Boeing airplanes as examples. I want to do a type-rating on the A320 in the future and I thought Joe would be a good source for learning the basics of the A320, as a start (or just for fun).
Andrew Matros for example, when he explained the hydraulics, he explained them on the A320, which is quite different from a 737’s hydraulic system. That and other things like fuel mixture on the A320 vs 737 etc
I think that also some sort of stroboscopic effect at nights caused by illumination lights may "freeze" fan blades to the eyes of a ground service worker. Spiral in this case indeed remains visible.
Proat gaming. I've wondered the same thing, turbos make the same sound and have forever thought that it was due to the bearings. But then i talked to a guy who works with these types of things. He told me that it was basically due to the air flowing around the blades. You know why helicopters make that "chopping" noise. It's basically the same phenomena with jet engines, except with many more smaller blades and spinning at much higher rpms. Hence the high pitched whine vs the "put put put" chopping. In addition to all of this, big turbos with journal bearings still make the whining sound, even though journals don't make noise. So it's probably due to the air flowing around the blades.
Right on Ellis. That subject is so extreme not even the best scientist can tell you why. It relates to the Navier-Stokes equation and how a given aeroform flows across air. The best suggestion is that it is completely dependent on the aeroform, it's speed, the hydrologic characteristics of the air, and very likely some factors which I can barely comprehend. Suffice to say, each turbine has its own unique sound!
I worked on jet aircraft still relatively early in jet aircraft development. And the rendition of the eye is something that does make Birds nervous when it is on the nose cone of a jet engine. When they first started putting them on there they were static. When they offset them they did find that the birds tended not to go towards the engine. They aren't usually on military aircraft because you can't really see the nose cone of the jet engine on most military aircraft because they're well within the intake duct. Even if it only keep birds away by a few percentage points it would be worth the expense of painting all of them. The spirals, do go back much further. Perhaps those exist for the purposes you state. But any motion detected by the bird will tend to make it steer clear of the rather large orifice presented by the engine. We are talking about birds however and it never ceases to amaze me how birds will fly into a mirror. Now I can understand them trying to go into the other room. I cannot understand why they didn't try to avoid the other bird LOL.
5:58 in addition, most of the time, they were setting up their attack runs, when possible, to come from the sun. The overwhelming majority of pilots shot down, never saw the attacker until they were already falling from the sky, or managed to bail out. On top of that, even with "perfect" viewing conditions, it's hard enough to see the identification markings on planes till your up close and personal. You had to identify aircraft almost solely by their silhouette/shape.
What blades exactly? Turbine blades are on the exhaust section of the plane and are used to power the compressor and fan blades. So I'm assuming you meant fan blades. They spin too fast to notice and would add some weight to it

@@therightstuffAK Well paint one or two in white and the others in black, and they will weight the same...
My guess: increasing radius = increasing speed. Would not see it.

I think that also some sort of stroboscopic effect at nights caused by illumination lights may "freeze" fan blades to the eyes of a ground service worker. Spiral in this case indeed remains visible.
the 'horseshoe' design looks exactly like the Jockey logo

Puts Ara na naman
5:01 is from PH airlines too
10 million to replace an engine? im in the wrong buisiness
Yes. So am I.
Engine('s)
@@N-e.o no. Only for 1 engine
The GENX engine is 20 million.
Engine costs 10 million, not your services
What airline do you mostly fly for?
*Blimp airways*
Avianca
North Korean airline
Ryanair
PIA
Music is love on a real train by tangerine dream. Nice choice Joe
The typhoon design is so cool IMO
Ooo I know a good question
Why does a airplane have a nice whine during takeoff.
Proat gaming. I've wondered the same thing, turbos make the same sound and have forever thought that it was due to the bearings.
But then i talked to a guy who works with these types of things. He told me that it was basically due to the air flowing around the blades. You know why helicopters make that "chopping" noise. It's basically the same phenomena with jet engines, except with many more smaller blades and spinning at much higher rpms. Hence the high pitched whine vs the "put put put" chopping.
In addition to all of this, big turbos with journal bearings still make the whining sound, even though journals don't make noise. So it's probably due to the air flowing around the blades.
Right on Ellis. That subject is so extreme not even the best scientist can tell you why. It relates to the Navier-Stokes equation and how a given aeroform flows across air.
The best suggestion is that it is completely dependent on the aeroform, it's speed, the hydrologic characteristics of the air, and very likely some factors which I can barely comprehend. Suffice to say, each turbine has its own unique sound!
WhatnotSoforth actually the plane gets turned on when it takes off and that's why it makes a nice whine
WhatnotSoforth or the airplane is congratulating itself and that's why it has a nice wine
Ender Shard well, the plane engines _could_ theoretically be designed in such a way that the engines make a fart sound instead of a whir. :)
"you'll be surprise how many shapes and sizes are out there" XD XD XD
I worked on jet aircraft still relatively early in jet aircraft development. And the rendition of the eye is something that does make Birds nervous when it is on the nose cone of a jet engine. When they first started putting them on there they were static. When they offset them they did find that the birds tended not to go towards the engine. They aren't usually on military aircraft because you can't really see the nose cone of the jet engine on most military aircraft because they're well within the intake duct. Even if it only keep birds away by a few percentage points it would be worth the expense of painting all of them. The spirals, do go back much further. Perhaps those exist for the purposes you state. But any motion detected by the bird will tend to make it steer clear of the rather large orifice presented by the engine.
We are talking about birds however and it never ceases to amaze me how birds will fly into a mirror. Now I can understand them trying to go into the other room. I cannot understand why they didn't try to avoid the other bird LOL.
5:58 in addition, most of the time, they were setting up their attack runs, when possible, to come from the sun. The overwhelming majority of pilots shot down, never saw the attacker until they were already falling from the sky, or managed to bail out.
On top of that, even with "perfect" viewing conditions, it's hard enough to see the identification markings on planes till your up close and personal. You had to identify aircraft almost solely by their silhouette/shape.
Would it not be easier to have all of the engines painted white so birds don’t think there caves and have the spiral black for the ground team
Gigantic Gamerz paint is heavy
"Love On A Real Train" playing in the background.
Joe why don’t they paint the whole Engine white? Please may you answer this? It would mean a lot to us

'Now that's MANGEKYOU SHARINGAN'
looks like sharingan 😂
why isnt it possible to painte the turbine blades ???
Dark Thanatos 99 it would be expensive to paint them, since dirt and dust repeatedly strikes the fan blades the paint would come off so many times
loyd ala Thy you just noticed i wrote paint wrongXD
Paint has weight, it would unbalance the blades.
What blades exactly? Turbine blades are on the exhaust section of the plane and are used to power the compressor and fan blades. So I'm assuming you meant fan blades. They spin too fast to notice and would add some weight to it
The turbines become transparent when spinning
My moms friend worked at an airport and his friend got sucked into the engine while clearing the ground as there were some stuff on the floor
