747-400 LH451 LAX (Los Angeles) Take-Off (Wing View)

[Trund]

@6oONyZeOo6 Die Triebwerke übertönen die restlichen Geräusche. :)

[sunny1995ish]

thats one big airport

[1037pm]

that must have been a heavy airplane, seems like the takeoff roll was exceptionally wrong

[whoax]

@1037pm

That was not a very long takeoff roll - pretty average for a 747-400 doing a 12 hr flight. Judging from where they passed the connecting taxiway between the north and south runways, they easily had 4000 feet of runway remaining when they got off. If they were so heavy their climb rate would have been more shallow as well.

[TheGreatFlyer]

AWESOME video! Amazing takeoff, great plane and COOL engine sound! So lucky to be in a 747! I 'll be on it soon! Well done! Excellent job! Rated 5/5 stars for your amazing job! Please sub back!

[raykrislianggi]

These engines are monsters with music!

[kbeano7]

I always get scared when the pilot lowers the engine power about a minute after takeoff :p why do they do that???

[kingcarcas1349]

You don't need full throttle when up in the air.

[kbeano7]

@kingcarcas1349 Oh I see, thanks man :D

[whoax]

@kbeano7

They are setting climb power - which can be as little as 10 or as much as 20% power reduction. After the flaps and landing gear are retracted, there is less drag and far less power is needed to accelerate. It is done as quickly as practical to preserve engine life as takeoff power settings for long periods of time

increase engine wear and maintenance costs. There is absolutely nothing to be afraid of - the aircraft is still climbing and accelerating even as the power comes down.

[eemontero]

wow! Nice, cool, very cool video

[adamsmrt]

Nice video - very nice indeed

[CaptainCruise1]

How long was this flight??

[75426168]

I think about 11-12 hours.

[kevinMD80]

Usually 10.5 hrs I have flown it many times.

[onecunningfox]

Great video, nice camera work, I posted mine as a response bc it is similar>

[jetfreak4]

Over the U.S. and Atlantic Ocean. The Pacific Ocean and China is unnecessarily long. The flight takes off to the west, then makes several left turns over the west coast until it intercepts the course for Frankfurt, then heads Northeast over the U.S. and Canada and over the Atlantic back to Germany.

[crackatooth]

whats the like whits smoke at the begining when hes still on the run way

[Aviator1112]

it's not smoke....condensed air basically

[naisi]

Its called condensation -.-

[lagooshka]

damn, that's like a 50 sec. roll

[Petsku333]

Ye but its a heavy big plane :)

[crackatooth]

whats a roll?

[lagooshka]

how long it rolls down the runway before it takes off

[jetfreak4]

Yeah, but the plane has to get up to 180 mph at least before rotation, a much higher speed than other planes. Not to mention, the flight was likely full and heavy with fuel, and the pilot probably requested the full length of the runway. This is often done to save fuel and to extend the life of the plane.

[abdulsamet95forever]

May i ask you much you paid for everything flight hotel and so on i mean from frankfurt

[siglover321]

Frankfurt germany dam thats not flight hahah

[birudagmawi1]

You're talking about the FMC which handles the V speeds and other aspects of the flight based on winds, temperature, fuel, weight, etc..

[1722240]

see closley and you will spot an aviacsas 727

[DavidYakima]

Very good video... Thank you for sharing that with us. I hope that you will allow my Video to post as a response too!!! David

[surferyo]

the B747 can make it all the way from L.A. clear across america and then to europe?

thats pretty cool!

i'd have to pop an ambien for a flight like that though:(

[PilotJamesD]

Delta's new 777-200LR can fly from Altanta, Georga to Pudong, Japan

nearly 14 hours

[jetfreak4]

Pudong, Japan? Umm..Pudong is in China.

[PilotJamesD]

same thing. haha

[jetfreak4]

No it's not, but whatever.

[B0eing1992]

@surferyo and more...Qantas does a DFW-Brisbane, Australia flight. about 15.5 hours in winter.

[vishaltohell]

o man diese kraft! beste was ein pilot haben kann

[SAINTpio91006]

There is nothing better than going on a long flight on the 747-400. Its a feeling of such freedom , like you are leaving the world behind . The wing seat is the best because there is NOTHING better than the sound of those jet engines! Love em!

[simobgbgbg]

there is a better sound then them engines and for me that is the sound of a formula one engine!!! i mean i cant compare both, and dont get me wrong i love the sound of a 747 but personaly for me f1 sound is Numer UNO LOL!!!!

[SAINTpio91006]

The old F1 engines sounded better.. you cant beat the growl of the V12. Look up videos of Senna at Monaco . There is a clip of him doing a lap and the sound of that engine.. wooooo . I miss Senna. I miss Schumi too. Masa and Kimi.. zzzzzzz lol Lewis Hamilton is ok but he aint no Schumacher.

[levych]

excellent video!

[Trund]

90000 miles and you still need to pay for all the tax etc, which is quite a lot.

[ManiPulatoR84]

wow beautiful view, beautiful sky over the ocean, nice one!

[jalfredl]

if that plane is going to frankfurt, why is it flying over the pacific ocean????

[jetfreak4]

Two reasons. Number one, the wind likely favored taking off to the west. Number two, the ocean likely is the best area for it to gain airspeed and altitude before it turns around. LAX is a busy airport. The route I believe is a left turn south down the Pacific Coast for just a small amount of distance and then a left turn to head back over land and in a northeast direction to frankfurt.

[Trund]

I was always able to use my camera during take-off/landing.

I don't see a reason why they would forbid it anyways.

[cattoy42]

How do people take these take-off and landing videos? Every time I try, the flight attendants tell me I can't use my camera during those times in the flight.

[kbeano7]

how long was ur flight mine was like 11 hrs hahah

[malamichelle]

I would love to be on that plane....going somewhere! LOL

[Airportchris2]

Yea, what mobius1aic siad, but they also, depending on the CAT of the flight computers, it can also fly, the aircraft, many pilots use this feature, for the whole flight except for landing and taking off, but in somecases, they can even land using the Flight Computer, the system that does this is called the Autopilot.

[ModelAirports]

Yea me too! a340 cant do that long, back in George Bush Intercontinental Houston I was in a Lufthansa A340-600 going to Frankfurt, Rolls-Royce engines, ur lucky you got to sit in a 747, I dislike most airbus', too much crammed seating

[ModelAirports]

The callsign for the flight I had was LH752

[mobius1aic]

computers control and monitor the engines and their functions.

[daownus]

whoa thats cool

[enigma800]

That's not smog. I live in CA Those are overcast skies. LAX is located right at the ocean and there is most likely a marine layer happening. It's obvious there is a lot of moisture in the air, as you can see the moisture vortex forming at the engines in take off. Smog will have a medium brown color, and is usually trapped at lower elevations. It will not go up to the cloud layer.

[congaleader2000]

they sound like RR trent engines

[jetfreak4]

Those are GE engines.

[ALZOY]

cool vid.

thanx

[musico81986]

Love the sound of the engines and the way the fog up! Great video!

Check out my videos!

[kiiiam]

Hey bro, cool vid!!

Do you remember your seat or row number?

greetings!

[HeroesThe4400fan]

Such a clean engine sound. Those engine guy do a great job.

[Mafk345]

i love buzz sound of the RR engines

[Trund]

Those are GE engines though :P

[Trund]

Lufthansa only has Business Class seats on the lower deck of the 747.

The First Class seats are on the upper deck.

Like I said before, it was row 14 :).

[papabaer123]

May I ask how much you paid for the business class seat? :) Thank you

[Trund]

Nothing :)

I used miles for the flight.

Would of been a little expensive otherwise :).

[student5669]

How many miles did you need to pull that off?

[Trund]

Business Class is 90.000 miles for round-trip.

[dougapepper]

so, does this 747 not have first class. because, this perspective on the wing is typically row 6, 7 or 8.

[TINCH12345]

Were the fans in the engine rotating supersonic? becuase i saw some wierd white thing a few times

[simmonstwopointzero]

most likely, i cant say for sure but its highly likely.

[crapper1]

i doubt it mostly water vapor from high humidity look on some vids and you can see the same white vapor over the wings

[TINCH12345]

yh that makes more sence

[mikey69up]

condensation buildup

[istvanklein]

the white thing is humidity condensating from the air that is being sucked into the engine. when the air is sucked in at high velocity its pressure suddenly drops, causing it to cool and the colder the air the less water vapour it can contain, hence the condensation you see at the engines.

[Trund]

It was seat 14K.

[wojciechkotkowski]

Wow great video!!! What map was your seated it? 12K or 14K?!? Pls reply me. Thank You.

[GtotheJproductions]

Also the engines kind of glow! kind of weird!

[Alexander38100]

Hey ! I was on the same flight to frankfurt LH451 umh just to be sure, did your flight have an emergency landing in glascow because one of the passenger had an heart attack ?

[wojciechkotkowski]

What map u were seated it? A32 at Economy Class? Thank You.

[0123456789123]

Lufthansa rocks! Very nice vid! :-)

[Trund]

During Take-Off the engines run in TO/GA mode, which means that the thrust setting is set to the highest possible in the current condition to deliver maximum Take-Off performance. After Take-Off the FMC/VNAV become active, putting the engine into CLB (Climb) mode, which has a reduced thrust setting (this can be set prior take-off, depending on the weight of the aircraft).

So that's what you hear at minute 1:30.

Hope this helped :)

[enigma800]

Did anyone notice what sounds like a reduction in power at 1:30?

[PeterGoDeees]

yeah hes right. After take off the pilot reduces the thrust only by a fraction so if you ever hear that on an aircraft don't panic lol

[Jerrycobra]

man the engines really hum loud, lol

[FatihFrankfurt]

At the beginning they sound great but then after sec. 14 - 15 there is a ugly sound.

[TheAeroman]

FatihFrankfurt you've got no clue. That's how they sound at full thrust. Ever heard a 747-400 growl like that over your head? It's basically the "fan" part of the turbofan engine, they provide about 90% of forward thrust. ;) Ask if you need more info.

[grzesieksz]

does the plane fly above the pacific ocean and asia to frankfurt or over the atlantic ocean?

[SD70MAC]

AWESOME VIDEO I like engine sound so great

[renatopeles]

Nice video! Perfect takeoff! (Renpeles - Brazil)

[yuliy2006]

check my profil

[FatihFrankfurt]

I don't like sound of the engines.

[barneyffc]

thats what proper engine sound is ment to be like!

[blairomatic]

That makes my ears go all funny just watching!
