Doesn't the molecules of the jet fuel just dissipate into nothing at around 35,000 feet, since the oxygen and nitrogen levels are so very thin. Not to mention, I think the sun probably just vaporizes the fuel at those high altitudes in the lower/midrange atmosphere.
@train52000 hardly, jet fuel won't light with a match it about almost impossible but if atomized then a match is all you need but in that air flow outside the plane good luck.
This makes me angry. With current insane fuel prices. You can run a diesel engine on Kerosine, it's almost the same. Kerosene is just cleaner burning than diesel, if the planes engine used diesel it would not make it's full lifetime and pollute way to much. If you imagine the A380 get's 300.000 liters of fuel in it's tanks EVERY FLIGHT, you know your goverment is fucking you with your 1.2 eco car.
" I never knew jet fuel was white".. made me lol, it's not, its clear or yellowy, but it appears white because it has vapourized as it exits the fuel tank into the atmosphere
The fuel looks white fore the same reason clouds look white, the light is reflecting off of the liquid particles. It is the same as when water is sprayed in a mist, it looks white too.
man that is so rare .. its either aviation fuel , which is most likely the case or its just a vapor stream , because on a330 theres a little funnal from where it comes from located on the half way section of the wing.. ive never seenthat before ... bythe way, im a simulation trainer for qantas and i teach airbus aircraft
Better than charging for a new airplane when it disintegrates when landing cause it was too heavy. Fuel dumping is only done if the plane has to land early into the flight, for example, an emergency.
imagine holding a lighter to the kerosene trail , there wud be a huge flame and would not dump fuel on the land . . .ny1 know wht happens to all the fuel . . .wht if sum1 is havin a bonfire or something
yes like other people say they dump fuel before an emergency landing sometimes. i can say ive seen a few weird contrails or "chemtrails" in the sky lately. but contrails dont form on that part of the wing unless ive been out oftune with things
guys you are stupid they wont do that cuse fuel costs so much thats the hot are from the plane and it gets cooled off just like when smoke comes out of your mouth in winter
If that's true, then this is certainly the smallest, most efficient jet engine in existence. Take a look at the video and you will see that the outlet is right up near the wingtip. The engines are much closer to the root of the wing.
This is in fact a fuel dump. In emergencies pilots will jetisson fuel to lighten the load of the plane. This is carefully monitored and rare. Typically only large airplanes like this 747-400 are equiped to dump fuel. What you are thinking of is a contrail, that is the freezing of engine exhaust.
PilotUTA(or anyone who knows), when trails of white can be seen coming from an airplane, is that contrail? or is that the fuel being jetissoned like in this vid?
99.99% of the time it is a contrail! A contrail is the freezing of the exaust and condensation of the engines. So far no evidence has suggested these harm or effect the atmosphere. Fuel Jettison is a rare event and is only used in emergency situations. Only larger aircraft such as this Boeing 747-400
actually the newer 737s like the 737-600,700,800 and 900 series due to their rather long range. also, i think Airbus is adding fuel dump to their A319s,320s and 321s due to the fact that most users run these aircraft on long cross country flights...like Jet Blu. Also most ETOPS rated birds have fuel dump.
The 737NG series are not equiped to dump fuel this is because their maximum landing weight is relatively small compare to the maximum takeoff weight. In other words, the maximum weight the 737 can takeoff at is not much more than maximum weight the aircraft can land at. As for A320's I doubt they would install fuel dmp capabilities because of the same reasons as the 737 series. Note: the ETOPS 757 does no have a fuel dump system.
Not uncommon, some private planes are capable of dumping fuel. Remember the ability to dump fuel is based off of maximum takeoff and maximum landing weights. Not just aircraft size!
airplanes are designed to land with a heavy load but with lesser fuel = lesser weight which prevents overheating brakes, reduce runway length and tire explosion
@JerryFromNewJersey They needed to dump just the excess fuel so that the plane is lighter, therefore easier to land on a shorter runway. They didn't dump ALL the fuel
there is a simple explanation for this. the flight was going to go trans-atlantic and carried alot of fuel. being forced to make an emergency landing the pilot smartly recognized that his plane was too heavy to land with all that fuel, so he dupms the fuel so he can go faster and have a relatively safer laning.
