For all the idiots saying that the fan blades are not moving. This is a old old engine, and it doesn't work the way the newer engines with front fan blades. It is a low bypass, meaning the parts moving are inside out of view. Do your research and turn your brains on before posting belligerent comments please... And plus if the left engine "wasnt running" as some of you say, then how could we hear it so well...? Again brains people, brains......
Frank T Thanks for the lesson. However it was not needed, and that you could not see the point I was trying to make. I am simply tired of cancer comments of people either thinking they know better, or dont know any better. I dont know, but whatever the reason, it gets old.
If the MD-81 which crashed in Gottröra north of Stockholm 27 december 1991have had this device this accident never could have happened, i suppose. Both enginges stopped due to ice from the wings. It crashed on a field. All passengers and the crew survived.
The engines are running. The part you see that's not moving are just guide vanes in front of the fan. They help straighten the flow of air into the spinning blades. This basically helps reduce the possibility of engine surges though they can still happpen......
Love Mad Dogs! I always pick this exact seat R or L. The engine sound is amazing, and you can see the control surfaces. Take off? Thanks for all the great vids!
The "JT8D" turbofan engines came standard on the DC-9 (starting with the DC-9-10) What made a difference was the Pratt-Whitney improvement revisions for fuel economy and noise abatement. But they all purred the same.
You certainly know a lot about the DC-9, so I feel confident in asking you a DC-9 question. I've flown on DC-9's and MD-80's many times, but one flight stands out from the rest. Back in 1976, my dad and I flew on a DC-9 from Atlanta to Detroit with Delta Airlines. I was twelve years old then and nothing scared me about flying. I was very seasoned, as my dad was a light plane pilot who took me up on my first flight in 1965, at one year old.Now my question: What do you think this 'vibration' was attributed to? As I said, nothing about flying when I was young ever caused me any concern, no matter what was going on with the plane, or the weather. Anyway, this DC-9 as I remember, began to vibrate badly after reaching it's cruise altitude. I remember the whole plane constantly shaking - not weather related. My dad went to the other side of the plane and began to look out of the windows at the wings. Still, he didn't tell me anything, as I'm sure he didn't want to startle me even if he did see anything. I remember him looking pretty concerned. It's a strange feeling. As I look back, we probably were in great danger, but it didn't concern me until recently, lol.
Brian- the vibration was likely due to the engines being out of phase. If the "engine sync" mode of the auto-throttles was off, or the pilots didn't notice the difference in N1 RPM it was very noticeable in the rear. The engines are barely audible in the cockpit, especially on the longer models (-50 and longer).
Did Delta recently upgrade the wing tip lights to LED's or different bulbs? I've seen a number of them flying overhead and they are a much bluer, brighter light.
Thanks. The plane did a lot of circling over Queen,NYC,before it landed on Runway 22R (4L-22R) at JFK. I lived a couple of blocks north of Runway 22R,most of my boyhood.It was a GCA Runway at that time,and planes were only about 30 to 50ft. over my house, with about 1 minute intervals,and much noise before landing,and sometimes taking off on Runway 22R.I did enjoy becoming and learning to be a good plane and airline spotter, living there at that time.
Who ever was flying on landing that was a supper job greased landing, Couldn't tell when the main gear hit the runway until you say the ground spoilers came up. GREAT JOB
Man, I'm gonna miss these noisy birds when they are soon all retired. Was just on a Delta MD95 flying from Cancun to Nashville a few months ago. Might not get that chance much longer.
I appreciate you calling the 717 an MD95, since it certainly is not a true Boeing. I love the Douglas jets. The 90s and the 95s will be around for some time to enjoy.
I haven't flown in a long time and two weeks ago from Palm Beach to Atlanta I flew on a Delta MD-90, is there a big difference between the 88 and 90? I never even knew about the MD-90. The MD-88, L-1011 and 757 are tied for my favorite planes.
Yes, the difference is quite big. Engines are more quiet, and as opposed to these engines, they are high-bypass engines on MD90. Never flown an MD90, but i'd love to do it. I'd choose any MD 80 over new 737 any day. MDs are excellent aircrafts when not placed THIS close to the engine. Sit in front of the wings, and all you'll notice from the engines is a gentle kick in the back. Cockpit instruments are also upgraded from MD80s to MD90s. '90s got pretty much the same glas cockpit as other aircraft of that era like the 737NG or A32X.
I see, thanks for the explanation. I was just in front of the wings and it was a great flight. I wouldn't mind the noise that much for only an hour flight. I'll have to look up more about it.
But it is not as thrilling in front of the wing. Give me the back of the bus anytime. I like the behind the wing view and I like the noise. REAL aviation fanatics always do. You can have First Class. Flew up front once and was bored. Six hours of bored. Great video.
3 weeks ago but what the hell Turbojets are no bypass, meaning all the air going into the inlet passes through the core. The JT8D engines are early low-bypass turbofans, meaning that a small amount of the air going into the inlet passes over the engine casing. Pretty much any turbofan you see nowadays is high-bypass, which I'm sure you can guess what that means. In actuality, the newer high-bypass turbofans allow the bypass air to be the main propulsive force, and the gasses used in combustion less so. Take a look at the new P&W PW1100G turbofan. You'll see how large the fan is compared to the compressor and turbine rotors.
I would not compare an A320 to a 737 Classic or an MD80. Airbus featured a quite novel design and is the next generation aircrafts. A320s is much more in the league with 737NG and MD90s.
I like the startup vids too, but there’s always some stewardess flapping their gums in the background with the mandatory announcements blocking the sound.
As a kid when we would fly and I saw it was an MD80 (DC 9 Super 80) I would be bummed, because it was so boring. These planes dominated short haul, and were literally everywhere. Now I miss the 5 abreast seating and unique look. All the modern aircraft look the same to me.
ENJOY a GREAT CLASS of Aircraft people .... For SOON these MAGNIFICENT Aircraft will be replaced by "vacuum cleanered" junk CRJ's / or the like. A wrenched neck, (amid their being NO comfort whatsoever), will force one to to rec-elect THESE Clips / and regard THESE as the BEST of days ... "sad".

I ment engines
I wuz sayin the exact same dam thing when I was looking at this video and the comments
This is actually quite therapeutic!

Scream, babies! JT8D goodness!
Nothing kicks more ass than a JT8D!
Fantastic sounds from those JT8Ds!!
00:20 I remember my first flight, I thought the engine had stopped working. :D
Love Mad Dogs! I always pick this exact seat R or L. The engine sound is amazing, and you can see the control surfaces. Take off?

There is just something Godly about a jet aircraft engine....fantastic!!!
I'm glad they fixed that runway i remember feeling all those bumps i thought the wheels were going to come off.
Did Delta recently upgrade the wing tip lights to LED's or different bulbs? I've seen a number of them flying overhead and they are a much bluer, brighter light.

That is sweet music to the ears right there.
Who ever was flying on landing that was a supper job greased landing, Couldn't tell when the main gear hit the runway until you say the ground spoilers came up. GREAT JOB
Like the audio of the throttle control around the 2m - 4M mark.
The ultra wide angle view made it look like you landed with 70 knots^^
a beauty ... the pilot kept speeding up to maintain vertical velocity. And yes the engines were in motion.
the city goes on forever. great video.
Sincerely, the most impressive video i saw.
Best ever!!!! GOOD JOB! Congratulations.
I agree It really is somthing special, the hole atmosphere with turbin fan jets. I LOVE IT !!
Reminds me of a Sunjet flight I took to Orlando back in the nineties. Amazing DC9, MD80.
nice landing
Nice Video Bud.
Right at the start, looks like the plane is over South Farmingdale on Long Island, bearing roughly north.
Engine screaming at 8:05 was awesome!!
As always a great video of a beautiful old workhorse..again, nicely done Air-Clips
I miss the DC9-21 we had in Scandinavian Airlines.:=)
Stunning indeed.
that are the inlet guide-vanes,, not the "propeller" which is called "fan" by the way ! :-P
SOOOOO smooth!
Great sound! Graceful landing! This pilot is a real PRO!
Did you also try to do a video to LGA?
Full reverse! PERFECT!!!!!
That was some really awesome action !!
Man, I'm gonna miss these noisy birds when they are soon all retired. Was just on a Delta MD95 flying from Cancun to Nashville a few months ago. Might not get that chance much longer.
I appreciate you calling the 717 an MD95, since it certainly is not a true Boeing. I love the Douglas jets. The 90s and the 95s will be around for some time to enjoy.
more md80s plz
Great reverse thrust.
Hey guys, i have only one wuestion...
I'd like to know on which seat you (he) was?
I think it is row 33.
Thanks a lot
Best reegards Tim
really great video!
Very smooth landing. Good stuff.
sometimes this is not the case the md-90 has open air engines (2 v2500s)
Is the engine thrust being controlled by auto throttle?
I would guess manual thrust in this clip :)
MD-90 use V2500 engines, the same engines for airbus 319-320-321, high-bypass
Those are not propellers. That is a cage to protect the engine from debris/FOD. The fan blades are behind it.
Lots of pilots from Bill Bardsleys Flying School went on to Delta but Im sure they have all retired by now. Bill died 21 years ago in Florida.
Another lovely clip
Was he circling waiting for landing clearance ?
Good video
whats amazing about these m.d s is they can take off almost vertical
Awesome vid.
God what a GREAT touchdown !! G R E A T Clip !!!
Damn i miss those planes.
Excellent!

+spiff1003
I thought the "corkscrew" design of the elevators wasn't that reliable?
the MD90 is also 5 feet longer
Its just crazy that you are ten inches away from the jet and you are spared of going deaf (try that outside that tin can) LOL. Praise Humanity!
great viddy!
Great Aircraft
Longest hold at 3000’ I’ve ever seen
Lovely !!
All my times landing in jfk, never landed on 22R
awesome
The spiral disappears when its over certain rpm's.
great
It must be windy because the auto throttle wouldn't be doing that
at 3:25 the engine seems to be stopped ^^
If it's because yo can see the "blades" stopped, those are actually vanes which are stationary. If its by sound then sure lol
planedudea380
ye, i meant the blades. didnt know they dont move atall, thx :)
That left engine is not turning. What's up with that?
Its a turbofan engine. Older tech. They dont have frontal fan blades. Internal parts are moving
AADFWspotters2 I thought thy were called turbojets?
3 weeks ago but what the hell
Turbojets are no bypass, meaning all the air going into the inlet passes through the core. The JT8D engines are early low-bypass turbofans, meaning that a small amount of the air going into the inlet passes over the engine casing.

cool
I hope that was a cheap seat to hear that the hole ride
I would not compare an A320 to a 737 Classic or an MD80. Airbus featured a quite novel design and is the next generation aircrafts. A320s is much more in the league with 737NG and MD90s.

flaps full
As a kid when we would fly and I saw it was an MD80 (DC 9 Super 80) I would be bummed, because it was so boring. These planes dominated short haul, and were literally everywhere.
Now I miss the 5 abreast seating and unique look. All the modern aircraft look the same to me.
Did anyone else notice that the engines propellers weren't moving???
wow, you are truly something I tell you. How are are you? lol
Lol the propellers...
What?😂
This is why the engines are so quiet - the engines are just for show.
My response exactly
Nice y
sound like the fokker 100
engine one not working
It was. See my post above.
good old angry puppy
what?? left engine is not running...
Outer blades on the JT8D are fixed. Quite common on low bypass fans of that era.
The 707 used JT3D engines, not JT8D's.
How do you know that?
How does who know what?
corisco tupi
Early 707s had JT-3C Turbojets. The Conways were fitted to some planes, mostly operated by BOAC but also Luftansa and some others.

Whoever u/l'd this must also be impressed with zippers...
I really HATED flying in MD-82: noisy, shaky, unconfortable. I like whatching this video thought, but I'm glad time gave pass to newer Airbus.
u get de-capitated when those engines fall apart lol, and after 30+ years they are doing just that! I wont fly on them...
TheRusschannel Yes, that would happen.... If you didn't do maintenance on them. Delta takes very good care of their MD88s. So that will never happen.
That's one of the most safe airplane right there. Please, do not say anything if you do not now what're you talking about
