LOUDEST SPOOLUP? Swiss Airbus A220-100 | Startup & Takeoff from Frankfurt | PTU & Engine Howl [4K]

Subscribe here ➤goo.gl/2tM0Yd While the A320 might be famous (or infamous) for its loud PTU sounds during startup, and engines such as the GE90 known for their loud spool-up howls, can the A220 win against both?! Step onboard Swiss' Airbus A220-100 as we push back, taxi and take off from Frankfurt Airport to find out! Listen to the captain's pre-departure announcement, enjoy a parallel pushback with a Lufthansa Boeing 747-400 and listen out for the howling sounds of the A220's PW1500G geared turbofans, as well as various hydraulic noises which were previously uncommon, as they go on for much longer than in the A320. What do you think causes the loud howl, which is loud enough to make the entire cabin vibrate, as well as the peculiar hydraulic sounds when flight controls are moved after startup?

*Do you know what causes the prolonged hydraulic noises and loud spool-up on the PW1500Gs? Let me know!* 👇👇

Power transfer unit equalizing the hydraulic pressure

[@MrBlackmidi1234567890987654321]

afaik, the howl is the pw 1000 series hitting resonances

[@tomtalker2000]

If you can get over that initial noise. Especially on take off where the engines howl a bit it's PERFECTLY silent after that. One of the quietest jets i've flown on. Great job Bombardier.

[@greatflyer_aviation]

I agree with that! I have been on the 220 before and do not recall all this noise, perhaps I saw directly on top of the hydraulic pumps. Thanks for watching, check out my Embraer E190 E2 video for comparison!

[@aviation747]

Awesome video mate, love the A220 spool up sound

[@greatflyer_aviation]

The whole cabin was vibrating! Check out my trip report in the Embraer E290 (E190-E2) for comprison.

[@amdrasho3163]

I just flew on a Swiss airline 220-300 last night and made the same noises and the whole cabin was vibrating which I found very odd . Did you get an explanation or answer to this ? I was quite stressed on this flight especially following the engine problems reports . Would appreciate some more info!

[@thedreamliner007]

I love this sound

[@greatflyer_aviation]

It was actually annoyingly long!

Thanks!

[@benjaminmaloney9332]

I think that ptu sound may actually be a Ram air turbine.

[@markfortuin7111]

Gosh, that sounded terribly “sad” 😂

[@Pushkin0612]

now this is the REAL beluga whale of airbus, unlike the bigger one

[@greatflyer_aviation]

And much much longer in duration 🐋

[@deltafox757]

Doesn’t the Dash 8 have the same annoying PTU sound when sitting under the wing?

[@greatflyer_aviation]

I remember a loud mechanical sound while sitting on the ground, however I’m not sure if the Q400 has a PTU.

[@SirensAndAlarmsOfNorthernIL]

@@greatflyer_aviationit does

[@konrad57466]

cool✈️

[@greatflyer_aviation]

Thank you, you may be interested in my trip reports available in my channel ✈️

[@tabishkhan2966]

And no time was wasted for take off.....

[@greatflyer_aviation]

Absolutely, HIRO stands for high intensity runway operations!

[@10lauset]

My dogs can howl like this.

[@greatflyer_aviation]

😂 They should compete against this.

[@sraigtasnarglis]

Sounds like a sad elephant

[@greatflyer_aviation]

Now that one I haven’t heard before 😂

[@iaimearl2670]

Sounds like a A321Neo a320neo A321 a320

[@greatflyer_aviation]

That’s because the engines are part of the same family! Unfortunately this means they are subject to the same technical delays.

[@dlbrittain1976]

220 is a member.......

[@MrDavid6558]

A320 wins for sure

[@greatflyer_aviation]

This is not an A320 though 🧐

[@MrDavid6558]

@@greatflyer_aviation Yeah I know, I meant the PTU sound

[@delmorde1368]

Please help me and give me my reward, may God be pleased with you😔

[@benjaminmaloney9332]

The A220 wins for the longest ptu noise.

[@greatflyer_aviation]

Definite winner, I was shocked 😅
