Will always be my All-time Favorite Aircraft, Love the L-1011 TriStar. I personally think Lockheed hit it outta the park when they conceived this beautiful aircraft.
My mom and stepdad met building L1011's at Lockheed's Burbank plant in L.A in the early 80's. I flew on one once, and it was among the quietest, smoothest planes I've ever been on. Pretty cool!
An un-contained engine failure is when debris is shed radially penetrating the outside of the engine. If the debris goes out the back OR the front of the engine in a failure it is NOT un-contained failure: that is how they are designed and certified.
😅 We worked in an ambulance station 1 mile from a major airport. The vortices would run right through our garage. You could hear them coming. Then we would have to dust all the ambulances again.
1st aircraft I flew in, as a kid, was a pink Tristar belonging to Court Lines. From London Luton, after a storm that blew in some of the windows. We had the last 3 seats in the tail and my Grandmother (who used to make sandwiches in the departures tent when Heathrow first opened to civilian aircraft) said “don’t worry, the tail always survives ! “…a beautiful powerful looking and feeling aircraft…
Thats Mojave airport in California where the L-1011 Tristar is doing its final flyby before it goes to the boneyard there. I guess that's what's happening. I Could Be Wrong
no, it was on the runway during the takeoff roll. Watch the rudder deflection to counter asymetric thurst as soon as the engine fails. You don't need that at a powersetting used for taxiing
The airplane that flew me from SEA to Orlando, Fla Dec. 18, 1980 for United States Navy boot camp was a Delta Airlines L1011 Tristar. Very quiet, comfortable roomy airplane to fly across country in. It was my first commercial flight in a non Boeing aircraft & was my last flight as a civilian for many years.
0:18 747-400 is my fav plane also 747-400F also 2:34 I love the L-1011 TriStar because actually the is a deck below containing a lounge or kitchen for the flight attendants.
That's highly unlikely. Trijets however are allowed to perform a takeoff and ferry flight on two engines. The restrictions are very strict (briefing, no payload, minimum mission time and fuel, etc.) This is to allow the aircraft to evacuate an airfield in case of an engine failure, whereas the problem cannot be fixed on site.
You are Definitely Correct, L-1011 TriStar my favorite aircraft period ! Such a beautiful, technically advanced, wonderful flying aircraft to come out of that era, i wish they were still around.
That Lockheed L-1011 Tri-Star was so far ahead of its time! So sad it never had a chance to compete and nearly bankrupted the company. Wonderful to see one still flying!
I can still remember as a child how happy my father was when he learned that we would be flying on a L1011 to his next assignment. You would have thought he was the kid.
Loved to hear an L-1011 climbing overhead; the fan buzz of those RB211s was higher-pitched than the DC-10s CF-6s, or the 747s JT-9Ds; now, they're all so quiet; an MD-80 sounds noisy!
I get the idea of the part of the video where you explain what is happening, but it you could have made that a bit shorter so we could see a bit more of that pass by the Locheed Tri-Star, that would have been awesome.
Because pilots would lose valuable flying skills that would be desperately needed in the event they would need to take over. It's a balancing act, like everything in life. Would you like incompetent pilots trying to land a plane with a malfunctioning auto pilot in an emergency? Auto landing is reserved for those cases where pilots would not be otherwise capable to land the plane due to poor visibility, but can safely take control if it is needed for a go around.
Loved the L1011. Air Canada used to maintain many for foreign airlines at YYZ. Air Lanka, BWIA, and so many Air Canada ones. Flew quite a few times on Eastern and Air Canada L1011's, a classic.
The PW4000 is getting very old now... I wasn't too surprised at the engine failure except maybe maintenance failures as they are more common with this engine as this engine is known to be harder to get inside and repair and inspect things.
Just curious, but are the Blue Angels somehow exempt from FAA regulations regarding operations near building and people? The first part of the clip he seems far enough away laterally, but is definitely not in the second part of the clip, nor is he 1000 feet vertically away from the pier or people.
This vid headlines read: '747 motor blows up during take off'. @ 00:36" didn't see snything like that. ('Clickbait'??). Nice L1011 images, though. ('Time Machine' from Lockheed..).
Haha, I was on that flight from Doha to Manchester a couple months back! On the way back we had a delay of over 40 hours and it was terrible. Then we had to fly to Doha hours late, missed our transfer flight (Doha to Auckland, New Zealand) and had to divert to Melbourne then to Auckland the next day. They gave us a hotel room each for the night but it was quite a journey! Lol.
I'm convinced the blown engine was to to my farts in the outflow valve leading directly into engine #2 and making it run hot and flame out! It happens all the time🤭
That doesn't look like an uncontained engine failure. It doesn't even look like the engines would have been spooled up very high by that point. Still a great clip.
I was scheduled to deice the dreamlifter in anchorage before it's departure, but the weather cleared and they didn't need. Still got to see it taxi and takeoff, didn't realize there landing was so low viz, very cool.
No idea how often it's done in commercial flight, but the fully automated landing on the Dreamlifter would have had me sweating bullets if I were the pilot. That must be nerve-wracking to go hands off and say "computer take the wheel."
Autoland is fairly old technology at this point that it's perfectly safe even if only one pilot is paying attention (see the Hawker Siddeley Trident autoland commercial), nevertheless autoland is barely used at all.
Looks like the left-most engine had the failure. You could see excess smoke early on during the take-off roll. And once stopped, no heat signature was visible unlike the other 3 engines. That's why they put 4 engines on this bad boy back in the day. Redundancy ;-)
i never thought i would be more annoyed on a video shooter - cameraman commentary than the standard EHRMAGHERD american commentary, but those Manchester posters are the worst. Need to shut up lol
I love the airbus A380, but in my opinion, the B747 jumbo is the most beautiful plane ever built. I even had the chance to fly from Paris to LAX in first class in an Air France B747 (thanks to a friend who works for AF and got our seats changed from economy to first class) in the upper deck. Wonderful!
I would like to suggest some corrections in wording around the first video, the Silk Way West airline takeoff out of Miami (to Frankfurt) on 12/4/2023. - By all appearances in this video and the cited video, this was a *contained* engine failure. An uncontained failure is where the outer protective casing is blasted open and parts go flying out. It is rare and dangerous. Nothing like this appears in either this video or the longer video cited in the comments. No damage to the engine can be seen from the outside; that's the difference between a contained and an uncontained engine failure. - Therefore, the engine did not explode, as the title states. I don't believe it even flamed out. All I saw was excess smoke. - The footage did not come from the cited video, so some citation is missing from the shorts listed in the video information. I may be wrong. I'd welcome any clarifying thoughts or reasonable opposing views or links to industry reports on the incident.
Engine explodes….and Boeing in the same sentence. Funny but somehow I was Expecting that “company” name. Most plane crashes, explosions, failures, major problems, etc etc etc are Boeing. Sounds like a bouncing ball sound. Boeing boeing boeing. Crash!
About the 747, this is why it’s slowly getting retired. Say what you want about keeping it in service, but the aircraft is less reliable and efficient, and also louder and less comfortable for passengers. I love the 747 as much as the next guy but the platform came out in the 60s and it’s time for it to finish up.
1:21 A few years ago, I witnessed a HH-60M taxi out and lift into a hover in a large droplet rain storm. It was amazing to watch the rain flow thru the main and tail rotors wash. You can see the rain accelerate thru the rotor and bounce off the ground effect, then witness the rain go through the tail rotor balancing the torque of the main rotor. Unfortunately it was to far away for an iPhone camera to record it. Helicopter aerodynamics 101.
Seeing an L1011 flying in 2023 is just magical…
Such a beautiful plane ❤❤❤
Will always be my All-time Favorite Aircraft, Love the L-1011 TriStar. I personally think Lockheed hit it outta the park when they conceived this beautiful aircraft.
What a wonderful aircraft.
That's an early big boy. I always liked the 3 engine design. 727 is my favorite.
This one’s the best because it air launches the Pegasus LV
2:34 Love the fact that the L1011 is still flying! It was a very modern plane for that time! 🎉
Had my first ever flight on that beauty ❤ back in 1993
Someone knows the registration number?
is it not a newer design than the 737 and 747?
A TriStar Varig took me from London Gatwick to Sao Paulo Brazil 1992. A very pleasant flight.
Yeah, I flew to Hawaii on a Tristar decades ago. Now it's nearly gone, and so is Lahaina, mostly. Sigh.
My mom and stepdad met building L1011's at Lockheed's Burbank plant in L.A in the early 80's. I flew on one once, and it was among the quietest, smoothest planes I've ever been on. Pretty cool!
An un-contained engine failure is when debris is shed radially penetrating the outside of the engine. If the debris goes out the back OR the front of the engine in a failure it is NOT un-contained failure: that is how they are designed and certified.
I love seeing wing vortexes, it looks cool and helps you understand how wings and flaps work. 👍
Definitely. They should install smoke machines at airports to show off wake vortices.
Some classic planes there. The TriStar and of course my favorite... The 747-the Queen of the Skies.❤
Used to fly on the L 1011 to Vegas every year out of DTW on American Trans Air. An incredible machine. She’ll be missed. At least by me.
She's definitely a wonderful aircraft. My favorite, for sure.
I did a TWA flight on one of those once, STL/LAX. Incredible plane.
Might be the coolest 3 minutes of aviation video in a long time!
No Ryanair, no Aerosucre...
Meh.
No engine explosion at takeoff.
Landing of those 747 & 777 creating the vortices must be one of the most beautiful aviation videos ever
Much appreciated 🙌🏻🙌🏻
😅 We worked in an ambulance station 1 mile from a major airport. The vortices would run right through our garage. You could hear them coming. Then we would have to dust all the ambulances again.
Absolutely agree
Happy to see a L1011 Tristar still In flying condition ❤️👏🏽👏🏽
Wowowow, a 49 years old Tristar still flying! Amazing! 🤩
Holy crap that Blue Angel over the pier was nuts!
Great childhood memories of flying on those wonderful Eastern Airlines TriStar's. Thank you.
I remember, too. We were very lucky kids.
Except the one that went down in the everglades. 901 I think.
@@shethsa I'm not sure of the flight number, I wasn't on that one.
@@shethsa Yeah except that one. Can't believe a faulty light would cause so much distraction.
Heh "49 years old"....LOL.....KC-135 says "hold my beer"

Sad news. Didn't know about that
At least it was captured on camera but yeah, that was a so-long-and-thanks-for-all-the-Jet-A farewell.
Excellent episode! Love the L1011, loved the wing vortexes!
Those jet passes were crazy
Surely the 747 was still on a taxiway, and not on takeoff?
no, it was on the runway during the takeoff roll. Watch the rudder deflection to counter asymetric thurst as soon as the engine fails. You don't need that at a powersetting used for taxiing
Ending it with the L-1011, that really made my day. When I was a kid I went to London on TWA in that beauty. Magnificent !
The last Tristar landing, the crew looked at each other and said “we’ve got plenty of fuel” let’s do it all again 😍
The L1011 was always my favorite. I was a teen in the early '70s and we lived just a couple of miles from O'Hare airport.
Had my first ever flight on that beauty back in 1993 ❤
My one and only time flying on an L1011 was in July of 1980 on Eastern Airlines...
The airplane that flew me from SEA to Orlando, Fla Dec. 18, 1980 for United States Navy boot camp was a Delta Airlines L1011 Tristar. Very quiet, comfortable roomy airplane to fly across country in. It was my first commercial flight in a non Boeing aircraft & was my last flight as a civilian for many years.
That Lockheed TriStar is a beautiful aircraft ***
0:18 747-400 is my fav plane also 747-400F also 2:34 I love the L-1011 TriStar because actually the is a deck below containing a lounge or kitchen for the flight attendants.
Been on many of Air Canada's L1011 beautiful air craft
I once had the privilege of going on the elevator to the galley on one of Air Canadas L-1011.
My 1st flight on an L1011 was in 1974 on my way to boot camp in Orlando. I think it was Delta. Nice ride!
love the tristar. i've often wondered if it could take off with just the rear engine ?
That's highly unlikely. Trijets however are allowed to perform a takeoff and ferry flight on two engines. The restrictions are very strict (briefing, no payload, minimum mission time and fuel, etc.)
This is to allow the aircraft to evacuate an airfield in case of an engine failure, whereas the problem cannot be fixed on site.
not a chance. Why would you think for a second that a half a million pound airplane could get off the ground with 33% of rated thrust?
So happy I got to fly on an L10. IMHO, the most beautiful of the tri-jets.
You are Definitely Correct, L-1011 TriStar my favorite aircraft period ! Such a beautiful, technically advanced, wonderful flying aircraft to come out of that era, i wish they were still around.
I was a regular on the TWA SEA-JFK run years ago. Just loved those L-1011s. What a comfy airplane, even back in economy!
Ah, that L1011, what a beauty.
That B747 green wake turbulence would make a perfect background image
Sad to see the very last TriStar say goodbye ❤
Those vortices are just a thing of beauty, nature revealing itself, right out of Physics Illustrated.
That Lockheed L-1011 Tri-Star was so far ahead of its time! So sad it never had a chance to compete and nearly bankrupted the company. Wonderful to see one still flying!
So no film of a 747 engine exploding on take-off. That was a waste of time.
the internet has stopped to apologise to the free riders
I had the pleasure of landing in the cockpit of a Cathey Pacific TriStar 40 yrs ago at Bangkok airport
Love a TriStar!
I can still remember as a child how happy my father was when he learned that we would be flying on a L1011 to his next assignment. You would have thought he was the kid.
Explodes.... the whole 747 just disintergrated hard to see but ..even the runway exploded... it keeps exploding to this day..
Wow that's insane hope Everyone got safe 😮
Loved to hear an L-1011 climbing overhead; the fan buzz of those RB211s was higher-pitched than the DC-10s CF-6s, or the 747s JT-9Ds; now, they're all so quiet; an MD-80 sounds noisy!
Excellent TH-cam channel.
Congratulations.👍.
Silk Way West the best Elite Cargo Airline in the World. 🇦🇿
When I hear 'elite' I feel like being taken for a fool.
A whole extra 5 seconds of aviation today! Heck yeah!
6 seconds! 😂
Why is it blurred? By the time it shows the clear picture, there's nothing much to see!!
The L1011 with DLC makes for those perfect landings. Sweet.
I get the idea of the part of the video where you explain what is happening, but it you could have made that a bit shorter so we could see a bit more of that pass by the Locheed Tri-Star, that would have been awesome.
Question: why not all landings perform in automatic mode?
The technology has been available for a long time, as in decades.
But, the pilot's unions have blocked its widespread adoption: "job security".
Because pilots would lose valuable flying skills that would be desperately needed in the event they would need to take over. It's a balancing act, like everything in life. Would you like incompetent pilots trying to land a plane with a malfunctioning auto pilot in an emergency?
Auto landing is reserved for those cases where pilots would not be otherwise capable to land the plane due to poor visibility, but can safely take control if it is needed for a go around.
Pilots need to have X numbers of takeoffs and landings to keep their licenses. And they like to do it, since it is fun.
Not every aerodrome or aircraft meet the technical requirements for that kind of landing
Even when the technical requirements are met, autolandings have a negative impact on a runway's capacity
2:32 I shed a tear.
the 747 engine looked pretty contained from here
Beautiful L-1011
My grandpa was a major part of designing the L-1011. He still has some schematics!
Tri-Star, very lovely
Love seeing that L1011 flying by… but! The fact that it was in Phoenix could also mean she was heading to a scrapyard nearby? Nooo….
That F/A-18 Blue Angel jet maneuver was incredible to see!
I would've loved to be on that Dock, that was Amazing.
So great to see that Tristar still flying!
L1011 deserved more success, it is a shame it was a commercial failure.
Explodes???????
The F18's secret fly pass was insane!
*The Tristar was a legend in its day. Like many good stories, it has come to an end.*
The FA-18 flyby is exactly what I want my tax dollars used for. 😊
good man
My first L-1011 was in 1974, TWA SFO-JFK. And then a few more on Delta, New York to Florida. Such a great aircraft.
3 minutes ago 3 minute aviation
Dreamliner lands itself better than the pilots.

The L-1011 was one slick bird. 😍 One of my favorites.
Engine explodes.... are there any real pilots on this channel
Can I get a ping please ?
Ping

This channel isn’t for children. Please go away.
One ping only

Damn I loved the tri-jets!
🇬🇧 Many thanks for your great videos this year; Merry Christmas! 🎅 🎄
Flew L1011s to Anchorage a few times. Lovely.

00:50 - How do I get a pass to be on that pier when this show happens?
It’s a public pier on the Gulf Coast around the Pensacola, FL area that anyone can go onto
@@jamessimms415 Oh? Thank you, thank you, thank you, 😀
I esp. will avoid those GTF engines, read ground testing engine failure report on them. Mostly used on Airbus smaller planes.
I'm convinced the blown engine was to to my farts in the outflow valve leading directly into engine #2 and making it run hot and flame out! It happens all the time🤭
Click bate byllsht!!! It never exploded in view!!! Crap in describion!!!
That doesn't look like an uncontained engine failure. It doesn't even look like the engines would have been spooled up very high by that point.
Still a great clip.
I was rooting for the pickup truck to win.
If you look REALLY closely, it does appear that some small debris got ejected. Odd that it was at taxi power level.
Debris out the back is not a uncontained failure. I saw nothing close to components penetrating completely through the engine case.
I love 747s
I was scheduled to deice the dreamlifter in anchorage before it's departure, but the weather cleared and they didn't need. Still got to see it taxi and takeoff, didn't realize there landing was so low viz, very cool.
If planes can land fully automatically, why don't they do it for every landing?
Not every airport would meet the technical requirements. That kind of landing also might reduce capacity, because extendet separation is mandatory.
Some years ago I kept reading how the 747 was being retired yet here we are years later and I still see 747s flying regularly for multiple airlines.
They are costly, or they cheat to make it running with the lowest cost
No idea how often it's done in commercial flight, but the fully automated landing on the Dreamlifter would have had me sweating bullets if I were the pilot. That must be nerve-wracking to go hands off and say "computer take the wheel."
Autoland is fairly old technology at this point that it's perfectly safe even if only one pilot is paying attention (see the Hawker Siddeley Trident autoland commercial), nevertheless autoland is barely used at all.
Always loved the L1011s and DC-10s! Beautiful aircraft!
We need 3 minutes of Tristar!!
Boeing Dreamlanding.
I absolutely love your videos please keep it up ok
Lt1011 baby
Looks like the left-most engine had the failure. You could see excess smoke early on during the take-off roll. And once stopped, no heat signature was visible unlike the other 3 engines. That's why they put 4 engines on this bad boy back in the day. Redundancy ;-)
i never thought i would be more annoyed on a video shooter - cameraman commentary than the standard EHRMAGHERD american commentary, but those Manchester posters are the worst. Need to shut up lol
BTW: the wingtip vortices cease to exist at touchdown. (Conversely, they begin at lift-off as the wing generates lift.)
as always, lotsa AWESOMENESS…thanks to 3 M o A!!!😬
I love the airbus A380, but in my opinion, the B747 jumbo is the most beautiful plane ever built. I even had the chance to fly from Paris to LAX in first class in an Air France B747 (thanks to a friend who works for AF and got our seats changed from economy to first class) in the upper deck.

I flew L-1011s on TWA and Eastern so many times as a kid, and on ATA on a trip to Hawaii. It still looks so elegant, especially compared to the DC-10.

Wonder what the world would be like.. 48 years from now.
And how things like A380 and others would be perceived
