Canadair CRJ-700 take-off from Zurich, Switzerland

[neillypilot]

I went to Disneyland when I was 7 on one of these planes, and all I remember was being terrified of that noise :D (the buzzsaw)

[caillou1718]

Was this on United Express?

[ManuCH1176]

@caillou1718 No, this was a Swiss (LX) flight operated by Lufthansa Cityline.

[mrmoerder]

@caillou1718 I dont think United Express services anywhere outside the US, especially Switzerland

It's been almost 2 years, and I still love this video. The funny thing is when you land at one of the hub airports, and you pull up next to a 737 (modest sized commercial airliner) you feel so small next to it.

If I ever strike it rich one day, you bet your money I get one of these...maybe put satellite TV, a couple of couches, and all the Cristal and chips money can buy onboard. (Maybe even an XBox 360 and a couple of laptops for good measure, too.)

Crj's are cool since ur closer 2 the ground it seems like ur going faster on takeoff than in a larger jet(even though the larger jets sound cooler),

[Lndmk227]

@a2304 -- Though, really, you ARE moving a lot quicker a lot faster. CRJ's are much lighter than airliners and don't require as much effort to make it go.

This last time I flew was from Baltimore to Memphis and back and we got to fly in First Class 'cause they were having so much trouble with our luggage.

what airline?

[smoshjkl]

[KYLEAIRWAYS]

ok thx

[smackheadmetal]

@KYLEAIRWAYS canadair

[KYLEAIRWAYS]

I know but what Airline? Like what service

[smackheadmetal]

@KYLEAIRWAYS just international service on Canadair to switz. the Bombardier jets have suprisingly long range.

Most likley the transatlantic "island hop" method.

Toronto-Halifax-Dublin-London-­Paris-Zurich-Berlin

you make alot of connections with em.

[KYLEAIRWAYS]

oh sorry lol

[smoshjkl]

Love the engine

sounds

[Islandboyy02]

I love these CRJs.... They're cute!!

[sabadashi]

im liking the engine sounds!

[cola4598]

on the 29th im fflying in one to dayton ohio from little rock arkansas so, long flight

[norrisrock]

I took one from Kelowna to Vancouver (a 70 minute flight with a Dash 8) - and it took about 40 minutes.

Good thing: They go like stink

Bad thing: Only time for 1 beer

[Sristylee]

gli ich au vo dem flug haffe

[foxtrot089]

it almost felt too real, as soon as the engines roared, my desk will vibrate by the sound of my speakers

[redoctober90]

I got to fly on a couple of Northwest (Pinnacle) CRJ's a few months ago...although for a 6'2" guy like me, it's hell walking down the aisle, these things got balls on them!

[londonclub777]

All I have to say is "GearBay Overheat!"

[bixdude]

What? Why?

[CharlesBronsonca]

Pilot fun...

[petersoncarl]

well, all I have to say is "duct mon fault"

[ereijerse]

~35.000 lbs. of thrust....roughly the same as the engines that powered the Concorde...imagine the G's in an F-22 with full afterburner...or in a Concorde for that matter (R.I.P.)

[gezelle007]

i wonder wat it would feel like to be catapulted off and aircraft carrier - now that would be such a rush- imagine 0-200 in like 2 seconds lol

[fatboy344]

what was your destination?

[ManuCH1176]

The destination was Berlin, Germany

[MrCars]

can a crj700 fly from montreal cnada to new york

[yoyoma16]

absolutely...I fly the DC - San Antonio route sometimes and thats about 1200miles

[RossBradley]

I like the way he held the brakes till full throttle, and they blasted away. Fantastic.!!!

[w5pda]

Actually, in a "by the book" takeoff roll, you're supposed to hold the brakes until your engines are at 40-50 percent N1 so as to develope "synchronous thrust" which occurs rapidly, thus the "illusion" that the pilot holds the brakes until full power.

[yoyoma16]

there is no one "by the book" takeoff for a crj700...there are two that are acceptable. The "standing" takeoff which is what you just described, and the "rolling" takeoff which is where the aircraft never stops from the taxi onto the runway.  The dispatch release has the proper performance numbers for each type of takeoff for the runways available. The standing takeoff should only be used for certain conditions, such as contaminated runway (snow, slush, etc.)
