1:02 Looked amazing, seeing the A380 use it’s rudder is one of my favorite things to see in aviation because of its size, crazy to think the A380 tail is nearly as big as the A320’s wings
Part of the reason is that the A380 is kinda lower aspect ratio than it should be, too short for its width. That requires a larger rudder due to shorter arm. Compare the 747SP, whose shortened fuselage required an enlarged rudder, so 747SPs look even more hilarious than an A380. (Also, the A380's wings were also sized to include expansion room, so its wings are kinda oversized for its actual size. A longer A380 would look considerably less silly, both the rudder and the wings would be normal sized by comparison. But alas, we never got the stretched, proper sized A380 variant...)
@@UnshavenStatue wow, i never realized how strange the 747SP rudder looked compared to the regular 747s, so thanks for reminding me of it since i honestly forgot about the SP variants and it’s a shame to see how we never got the A380plus, it would have been great to see
The condensate is caused by the increased area of low pressure on the leading edge of the wing, which in turn, is caused by the increased angle of attack of the wing, i.e. the nose of the plane is higher than the tail. This low pressure on top of the wing only happens when there is lift being created by the wing, so as soon as the plane lands, not only is the angle of attack reduced but there is no longer any lift, so the condensate immediately disappears on landing. I think it is a coincidence that the spoilers also came up, because they always come up on landing too, but that's not necessarily the cause of the condensate disappearing.
Those landings were great, especially the wing condensation. Such-modern day magic our ancestors could only have imagined! I was unaware that full size jets had enough passenger demand to land in Antarctica.
The caption in Spanish as shown for that road/runway on Google Maps, "Pista de aterrizaje de emergencia", translates to "emergency landing strip" in English.
Wow,amazing 757 landing at An 2:41! I wonder how the pilots see the runway, are there papi lights? I've also tracked a Smartwings 737 MAX 8 flying out of Antartica on flightradar24
@1:57 The British Airways A320 was not going around, it was executing a ‘Windshear Escape Manoeuvre’. Hence it is looking steeper, than a normal go-around. You can also observe, that the gears are still out, whilst the aircraft already at a reasonably higher altitude, that is also an other hint for a windshear escape manoeuvre. Unlike a ‘normal go-around’ the configuration should not be change, until later, when there is plenty enough ground clearence (written precisely in the airline’s Standard Operational Procedures). So, the pilots were just great professionals, was no drama there.
My guess is the BA A320neo wasn't technically performing a go around; it was performing a low-altitude wind shear escape maneuver, which demands a much more aggressive climb to avoid terrain
I remember one time coming into land at Nice airport and the plane did a go around where it basically did a severe 45 degree turn and all you could see out of the windows was the Med.
The forces on an aircraft that large... You can drop a toy car from 5 feet and it doesn't crumble like a real car if it happened to scale. That phenom with physics and the strength of materials is at the other end of the scale with the A380. I don't think it would be wise to build anything larger as it's showing the limits of what can be done with passenger aircraft made in the way they have been built for the last 70 years or so. Maybe a different design fuselage and wings like the AN-225 or the Lockheed Galaxy series gets one to the next level up in size. I don't recall the transports looking like a bunch of bangles as those transport aircraft settle down to earth again.
1:21 - how many "public roads" have piano keys and a runway heading on them? That shows as runway "03". I don't think it was a public road at all."20" Watch the original video.
Honestly that BA A320 didn't look that weird to me, for a couple seconds it had a high pitch angle but they immediately corrected and lowered the nose to a pretty normal pitch, and preserved that normal pitch for the rest of the climb (but the lack of background may make that normal pitch look like more than it is?)
@@sg-yq8pm Yeah. Caught that after I posted. But I am also not one to ignore my own ignorance so decided to keep the post and add an edit. Kinda cool, actually. As a GenAv pilot, I dunno how I'd do in that situation. LOL
Two things i learnt today..... Uruguay has an "airforce" and it consists of a cessna.....and a pilot good at scary moves. Landing at Antarctica would be the easiest part of flying as there would be no worry of crashing considering there's a limitless runway.
Seems to be legit. watch?v=gnOdBXpW4Ug Video ends with a welcome to the ice runway on Union Glacier. Google search indicates they've had a couple planes used for charter flights to Antarctica including a 757-200.

That A-37 was going down a runway, not a public road.
yeah funny looking road. funny looking runway too though I suppose
There's an aerodrome on my country that is also a public road tho, so i think its the same case here
I was going to say the same thing. You can even see the numbers at the end.
It's both. Route 9 2km long Runway. Coordinates: 33.9604245,-53.5499719

Such a great channel. No blah blah, clickbait or drawn out story line. Just pure aviation goodness served up fast and hot!
2:40 even the poor plane is shivering! Must be cold 🥶
i love how the condensation immediately disappeared when the spoilers deployed, showing how they disrupt the airflow over the wing
The spoilers... spoil the air flow indeed 😆

@@firstman9273 that is interesting, thank you for explaining
@@firstman9273I 100% agree with you. It has nothing to do with the spoilers. The moment the wheels touch, the low pressure is gone.
That low pass was a thing of beauty.
1:20 The T-37 "Buzzing" the road?....With Runway markings on it?
Maybe it's a combined thing: mostly a ordinary road and sometimes a runway.
😂
someone posted above with the coordinates. It’s a shared roadway/runway.
Apparently it‘s both, a public road AND a runway. Check it out on Google Maps, these are the coordinates: -33.9599, -53.5499

Wow,amazing 757 landing at An 2:41! I wonder how the pilots see the runway, are there papi lights? I've also tracked a Smartwings 737 MAX 8 flying out of Antartica on flightradar24
No lights, just red two-pole flags marking the runway edges. All visual.
When the BA plane did a go around why were the cabin lights on?
Good spot.
Why not? It doesn't bother the pilots
Is no one gonna talk why Icelandair flew from Iceland in north all the way to Antartica to the south
⛄
Wait, I must be an idiot, but...Icelandair...in Antarctica?
When did public roads start having 1000ft markers haha, Supreme video❤
This one does
You owe me 1 second of aviation 😜
They're STILL using dragonflies????? Also, that was a runway.
Thanks for including my video!
Thanks for letting me feature it, great job capturing the event!
1:00 "still lokos a bit left heavy down" yeah, I agree... it also looks like aileron deflection is towards left wing down....
1:11 is not a public road, it is a runway (runway 03, markings shown at - 1:21)
1:12 - Cessna passes over public road that is marked as runway "03" at the zebra-crossing
Soooo. That's a real bad habit of those Uruguayans, painting their Public Roads to look just like an Airstrip!😁

You made a video of the 747 caught on fire mid air?

Interesting…what was an Iceland Air 757 doing all the way down in Antarctica? That’s sort of like a Delta 757 landing in Nepal lol
Since when do public roads have runway markings?
It's an emergency runway in a public road, but it's usually use by the uruguayan army
What causes that deep buzz in jet engines under load verses the typical whine or whistle? Is it just the turbine blades chopping denser air?
Isn't it supposed to be the fanblade tips going supersonic at high speeds?
Public road?! I didn't know Uruguay have such a straight public roads, with so big pedestrians lines and big numbers too!
3 Minutes of Aviation should be a bit embarrassed over the title of that segment. Totally not a public road.
It IS a public highway that is for airplane use.@@greghawley7852
@@greghawley7852it’s a public road with a runway. A lot of countries have this in case of war.

1:15 - It is not a public road, it's a usual non-precision runway, number of runway is clearly visible.
That Icelandair flight was way off course. LoL
2:00 - windshear escape maneuver
That ice landing is bada$$.
The hydraulics and reactive control timing on the A380's rudder was impressive! The load on that tail must have been tremendous!
5000 psi on the 380 hydraulic system.

1:23 Never seen a 'public road' with a runway number painted on it before!
The LA Flight Bros are so cool.
0.40 rudder input to assist with roll. Secoundry effect of rudder is roll.
How recent is this ?
2nd one. amazing how much the wing can flex.
Thx Good one.
Public roads in Urugay are runways in most other countries :D
nice video again !
Question...
How badly does the ice affect the landing gear & tires? As in is it more destructive than say a concrete or asphalt runway.
No. It's like landing on grease.

I agree agin with you. He probably kept it at full power a bit longer than most would.

Please don't say a takeoff goes wrong unless the plane ends up in the bushes
Got your Commercial Pilots license yet?
He's not so wrong with his statement.
The Uruguayan Airforce flew low over a runway, not a public road. You can see the runway Number (03)

Yes. We always keep it on.
For take off, yes.
Now we know what Big Jet TV's happy noise sounds like.
747 takeoff went just fine, its the compressor that had the problem. 1:20 Thats a runway not a public road.

The clue is Union Glacier. Icelandair occasionally operates charters to Antarctica, via Chile.
that's why these jets have more than 1 engine; compressor stall for example or bird strike that takes the engine down.
Anyone know what the northern hemisphere Icelandair aircraft was doing close to the south pole?
