The eye of these storms is one of the most breathtakingly beautiful sights in nature. I recall one scientist/pilot referring to it as the "stadium effect." I tip my hat to the amazing scientists and flight crew.
I grew up in Japan my whole life, and we used to see Typhoons and Monsoons like I never experienced in America --bar some times in Pennsylvania and rarely in New York. When the eye of the storm reached us back home in JP, I'll never forget walking out of my house to see what looked like a beautiful, sunny day. Then the incredibly powerful torrential rain and wind came back seemingly as fast as it had gone. I've been on many planes in my life, quite a few through some choppy, dicey ass weather. But nothing, nothing even remotely close to what these absolute legends did. Its just so unbelievable to see it, I guess you really gotta be there.
You cannot compare the jokes that people from New York and Pennsylvania call "hurricanes" compared to the stuff Florida and Puerto Rico get, there is no comparison
I had absolutely NO clue how amazing the eye of a hurricane looked. I knew that when they showed images of hurricanes on maps that it definitely had a ring in the middle called the eye. And i figured that there would be some type of opening there, but i had no idea the opening was this big and that gorgeous. I'm from Texas, so while we've been hit by a few hurricanes, being in the northern part of Texas, all we get are really bad and windy thunderstorms. I've got a whole new respect for hurricanes after watching this video. They're as deadly as they are gorgeous and most definitely should be respected...but viewing inside the eye of one of these things was just amazing. Thank you for uploading this for us to see. Very very cool!

It was pulled off the house as the 35 feet of water lifted the house up, the lower part tore away. the attic floated, When the water fell, the top part of the house landed flat on the ground. They were trapped in the dark, couldn't break out. Days later the bodies were found. What was your point?
My dad flew hurricane hunters in the late 1950's/1960's. When they were up in Carol the aircraft rocked so hard that the pilot in command broke his collarbone from the force of hitting his harness.
Lone Wolf I do have courage good sir and in the shape of a M230 30mm canon. I self identify as an Apache Helicopter btw. Whether it's men or women it doesn't matter to me, you all die the same in my targeting system.
this specialized plane was incredibly expensive to craft. you'd most likely need lots of moneyz to ride sadly. some of the technology looks really old. cuz they cant exactly change everything it might cause a shift in the planes ability to handle winds.
Most airplanes including commercial airliners can't fly into a severe storm without risk of falling out of the sky but the P3 Orion can go right through a hurricane shows how well-built those old aircraft are
Its funny planes have no problem in Hurricanes because they are Horizontal winds and fairly predictable. Thunderstorms on the other hand have vertical winds which cause huge turbulence and are generally avoided.
Well I mean its the outside part thats really terrifying. Which one are u scared more of a wild dog? The wild teeth or the fluffy fur? Ur saying ur more scared of the fluffy fur lmao
Is there a specific reason why they need to go thru the storm to get to the center? Could they not just ascend higher than the storm and then descend into the eye?
***** I only ask because it seemed safer and I figured with their scanning tools, they could get all the measurements they needed being that close (inside a hurricane lol)
Typically, the hurricane would be about 50,000 feet tall. Not many airplanes can fly that high, and theirs definitely can't. That's half of the answer. 1815chris5 said the other half.
They need to go through to the centre of the eye of the storm to measure the strength of the hurricane but also to track the direction its likely to go.
Camzz - Call of Duty & More Well, my friend, tell that Lin Manuel-Miranda who wrote the currently most successful musical on Broadway, which is by the way called "Hamilton". It also includes a song named "Hurricane", which I am referring to.
lol I know I was being sarcastic, but from a physics standpoint it would be interesting. A small little Cessna would get tossed like a toy, but what if something like an SR-71 going mach 2 went through it assuming there's no debris in the tornado for it to hit.
+Turd Ferguson how about a surface to air weapon of some kimd that can temporarily obliterate the mesocyclonic activity of a cell and its funnel clouds? That is without hurting people in the process of course... For me this does sound too easy to be real.
Googled this out of curiosity because of all the Hurricane Joaquin talk going on, realized this is the same exact video I seen at IMAX on a field trip probably close to 20 years ago. Pretty neat
If I can choose where I can live, I would live in a flying castle inside the eye of a hurricane. Such peacefulness and calmness would be so satisfying, isolated from all the troubles of the world...
Whoever was the first person to say "hey I've got an idea, let get into an airplane and fly it through the eye of a hurricane" must have been one crazy sob.
Before our fancy toys, doing routine routes was the only way to know where it was going and how bad it would be, and in all this time we have only lost 6 planes and the crew in 1945 in the south China sea was the only one we ever found the wreckage and even more ironically it was only a CAT 1 cyclone, even with our fancy toys, direction, pressure and wind speed cannot be known but only guessed at so for awhile longer we will need to fly into these cool pieces of nature. People say oh a CAT 1 is no big deal, well there is a very special effect any thunder storm cell can produce and it is the greatest fear of any hurricane hunter, a micro burst, basically a massive off the measurement devices down draft of wind from a cells core that blasts you out of the sky like a payload of bricks. This type of applied science is not safe and this danger no aircraft can make it through winds of 300-800 MPH blowing straight down
+Jonathan R. You're right , microbursts are a planes worst nightmare, they basically negate the planes lift and cause them to plummet to the ground. There was even a incident that happened with a passenger plane that flew into a mesocyclone blind on approach and flew straight into a microburst and fell to the ground and crashed. After that they tightened down on safety when it comes to storms like mesocyclones and avoid them like the plague now.
My grandfather was a Hurricane Hunter. He's in his 80's right now and I want to buy him a scale replica of the plane he flew in. He has pictures of him and his fellow crew members. I need to ask him which plane was used so I can buy one. It would be even cooler if I could find a scale model to paint and build to give him.
I'm always shocked to hear how well planes handle these weather conditions. No doubt there is considerable maintenance on these things to keep their structure intact.
I've been fortunate to have experienced and survived being in the eye of the storm at least once. Nope I didn't go there, the storm passed our town in 1983 when I was a kid in Central Philippines. It was calm and fresh, a very unique kind of calmness. But then when the other side came it was worst, the wind blew in the opposite direction from the one prior to the eye and it was stronger. All of our roofs were gone and some walls came down.
and of course government funding, most forget it is Air Force reserve that do these missions, hurricanes do not do damage on a large enough scale to merit upgrades often, but I am sure within what seems to be old dino systems are newer probes and software systems just the main devices are older which really would not matter, what matters is the probes to release to gather date inside the storm itself
well seriously it would be better just to see it without sound effects its annoying like on wildest police video all the videos they use they have sound effects its kind of annoying
Would love to ride with them when they are doing this shit. They should make this an amusement park attraction, pay a fee to fly thru a hurricane. More adrenaline than any carnival ride.

Essentially the wing will stop providing lift if it approaches its maximum load, preventing it from being stressed beyond this point. In the video you can hear the pilot announce his airspeed is at 230 knots, which is likely maneuvering speed for this aircraft.

Aircraft have a speed known as "maneuvering speed." When operated at or below this speed the wing will stall before the structure is subjected to its limiting aerodynamic load. Essentially the wing will stop providing lift if it approaches its maximum load, preventing it from being stressed beyond this point. In the video you can hear the pilot announce his airspeed is at 230 knots, which is likely maneuvering speed for this aircraft.

The eye is always the calm part in a hurricane. When in the eye, from the ground it looks like a sunny day.
