Boeing 777 #2 Engine Change

[DarkQueen1981]

1:03 I've got that Final Destination feeling.

[heatherstub]

For those of us purists, the music is totally inappropriate for our ears. For those of us who are totally blind and just want to hear the raw "audio", (er, the video in this case,) could you please take out the music, so we can just listen to that awesome sound?

[juanjillocr]

Anyone with the music at 0:45?

[JoeA320Pilot]

Imagine if the wright brothers were to see this. They would faint on how aviation went from a kite with an engine to these monsters.

[TheFrostymountains]

@JoeA320Pilot yeah, but their days are numbered .

[MyJerseybean]

It makes one proud to be British , Good old Rolls Royce, when flying and you look out the window , the Rolls Royce badge on the Engine cowlings always gives me confidence in a safe Aircraft.

[amillionpoundcoins]

Imagine sticking one of those engines on top of your car. I wonder what the top speed would be! 500 mph?!

[sirpaulpen]

at 0:45 wats the song PLZ REPLY

[Joeconroy37]

Casually now going to clamp in my engine...

[Georgieisaporgie]

"Oh shit John we forgot to put all these bolts back in!" *Box of about 100 nuts and bolts*

[janmadytay]

@obiehax Did you not see at the end where it said it took aprox, 6hrs for the job?

[obiehax]

this can take nearly 10 days too much work involved.

[TheKbtoys1]

i mean the music that starts at 0:45 pleaes

[TheKbtoys1]

whats the music? and sick video! those turbofans are amazing

[internetzwemmer]

i wonder how many hours they spending to only remove the damaged engine

[goblis623]

wow sick video

[UnKnOwNzH]

NICE VIDEO HOU MUCH TIEM TO CHASNGE ?

[Anacksunamun2009]

The Aircraft engineering is really fucking beautiful...:D

[MrHaahz]

they change only 1 or change both at the same time?

[ELSTARBREAKER]

great video 6 hours for an engine change not bad timing considering the complexity of the aircraft and the engine Question how many hours can you get on an engine before required change over?

[digler99]

how much testing do they have to do before they approve the new engine installation to fly passengers ? Do they run it for a few hrs , go on a test flight, etc ? Also, what do they do with the old engine ? Sell it to south america ?

[aodhanof90]

@digler99 I know for sure that they test fly them & the engine is tested before being shipped...

[brostraid]

I thought the triple sevens used the GE 90-115 B engines? Anybody know?

[CathodeRayTube100]

@brostraid

On the 777-200, -200ER and -300 Rolls Royce Trent, GE90, and PW4098 are options. GE 90-115 is the only option on the -300ER and the -200LR.

[brostraid]

@CathodeRayTube100 Ah. That would explain why i have trent on my 777's on my flights sim. Thanks for explaining that...makes sense now.

[Genswitch]

It's amazing at how much each engine weighs, and you would be shocked to know that each is only held to the wing by a few pins!

[prglg]

777 is awesome!!!

[shyne007]

wow i thought this was done in 2 days..lol..

[nrml2001]

United Airlines at SFO accomplishes engine change in 4 hours ....

[prglg]

@nrml2001 And?

[OMBIC]

i masterbated to this.......... :o

[jpetrillo13]

What the storm at 1:03

[Mendes3G]

who's this music?

[Horan28]

Seeing a video like this makes you realise how smart the human race is to build a machine like this and be able to understand how to build and fix it...its just amazing!

[andysim232]

they are like little ants running around =)

[Muslim2888]

@george145able forever lost god is an astronaut !

[aleks070777]

[TheWazzup908]

song???



[Muslim2888]

@TheWazzup908 forever lost god is an astronaut

[VAMP86M40]

whhoooow... 6 hour only??

[samthecat07]

How on earth does the relatively thin wing hold the weight of a 15,000 lb. engine? Doesn't the wings hold fuel also?

[Jman676De]

@samthecat07 yes the wing holds fuel also :)

[chr15ru55e11]

@samthecat07 Its the types of Struts are used. The wings dont just hold the engines and the fuel, the whole body is supported by the wings also. Also the way a plane is designed, when its sitting on the ground the top of the wing is under tension and the bottom is under compression forces so when its more comfortable in the air

[Digi20]

@samthecat07 one the ground they have to hold their own weight plus engine, but airbone the wings actually hold the entire aircraft - about 1000-1500 pounds per squaremetre. but they can take much much more before breaking.

[ghettoperson257]

now AA learns how to change an engine after Flight 191!!!

[reag1001]

Excelente

[devrajvarma]

Change the guy pilot to women pilot too: Official FAA.

jkjk ;D

[billkolias]

exccelent video!!! <3

[2paulson]

Nice movie

[baaaaaba94]

can someby plz explain me what's the thing we see at 4:03 ... i often see it during 777 taking off, neva know what it is

[phantom0482]

@baaaaaba94 that is the water getting caught by the suction of the intake rotor.. i work with beauties and is very common to see it after or during a shower... you see it especially during engine startup and take off... during idle it is possible to see if there is enough water near the it's 14ft. intake zone

[baaaaaba94]

@phantom0482 thanks man for your response ! very useful =D

[phantom0482]

@baaaaaba94 that is the water getting caught by the suction of the intake rotor.. i work with beauties and is very common to see it after or during a shower... you see it especially during engine startup and take off... during idle it is possible to see if there is enough water near the it's 14ft. intake zone. a vortex is formed very much like a tornado or whirlpool effect

[MajidAxel]

YES! now i can change a aircraft engine should anyone break down!

[fegoras]

Thumbs up, for lil' tornado at 3:45 !!

[Rubdos]

Max range 7800Nm

Each?

[Rubdos]

The spare one's running!!!

[malfunctionm1ke]

@adamosullivan1 Sick! Thx Adam :D

[iesseace]

fantástico

[howtowritemyname]

einfach nur fantastisch... die kraft, die technik, die komplexität des aufbau´s (welche in jedem triebwerk steckt)... einfach nur atemberaubend

[medzzon]

@howtowritemyname yeah yeah coz a azy

[damonster5000]

i am going to make a pod racer out of those engines!

[fryanventu]

@damonster5000 May the Force be with you!

[GUNDAMZGOK]

@damonster5000 good ideas, maybe i will try you ideas with my tricycle, thanks you so much ~~

[udhantha93]

whats the name of the background music played?

[3Deity]

Port? I thought you means starboard!

[Noxsniper]

Music name if you don't mind ?!! great video !

[210482fmj]

why don't they make them bigger like ten times the size.

[JohnMaxGriffin]

@210482fmj If they did, the tips of the fan blades would be going too fast and the engine would rip itself apart. New designs of the fan blade are now allowing them to take in more air at a slower speed than before however, so we're seeing gradually more and more powerful engines.

[Chris58851]

@210482fmj Bigger engine doesn't mean they will be fuel efficient and light enough for plane pylon to support.

[tuchek76]

shit, i lost the keys! hey billy bob, can we hot wire this?

[Sven2Perroy]

same procedure when they put the new supercharger on mine

also, why are the engine running?

[kentFuckas]

@Sven2Perroy

The engines are acutally running because of the wind which come from behind ;)

[SBPMuzikTV]

i like the lighting in the background...adds to it.

[valentinoliasi]

just perfect!!!!!!!!!!

[retardedcentaur]

A 'pod 2 pod' engine change!!!! reminds me of my Kingfisher days.

[Speedymac1986]

love the music!

[adutinho]

muito legal

[adutinho]

O BARULHO DA CARROÇA

[adutinho]

Muito legal.

[Bmilesonline]

THEY DID ALL THAT IN JUST 6 HOURS!!?? DO THEY DO WORK ON THE SIDE? ...THE THINGS I COULD GET DONE IN A DAY!!

[xoio]

What's amazing is that jet engines are so finely balanced, that just having a gentle breeze blowing through them is enough to make them windmill as seen here.

[sleepingeye]

@xoio

thx for explaining that

i was wondering why the fan was turning

i thought they did this to test some things out

[wezdog1]

4:18 this is how i want my woman to sound

[Menelgor]

Instead of whining about the archaic units, I suppose it'd be more productive to just grab my calculator, use the conversion tool a bit and share the numbers in a more international format: Idle thrust 13 kN. Take-off thrust 410 kN. Intake cowling diameter 4.3 m. Idle consumption 0.2 kg/s*. Take-off consumption 3.9 kg/s*. Mass 6 800 kg. Max take-off mass 297 000 kg. Max range 14 300 km. (*Jet-A fuel density at 288 K: 775 to 840 kgm^-3 conversion made with a rounded figure of 800.)

[Menelgor]

Oh and if you want to be totally anal about going with international units, the rotational speed of the main fan would be 55 Hz then... but RPM is used in everyday life even outside North America and Britain.

[wezdog1]

@Menelgor rpm is used in si

[maninder1992]

@malfunctionm1ke

the engine's blades are moving because of the wind and the stormy weather outside a.k.a its "wind milling" :)

[malfunctionm1ke]

Can someone please tell me why the new engine rotates before it was actually installed on the plane? Do they spin because someone just touched them or do they have to spin?

[Haildoc82]

It looks very nice!



[AboSpirit]

Are the engines replaced in pairs? how many engines does a 777 go through in its typical lifetime. if a plane is 20 years old for example, how many engines will it have gone through?

[brendanl0432]

did anybody else notice the bicycle at 3:29?

[solowingpixyacz]

the guy at 0:15 - 0:19 is like "make sure nobody's around..then i can make a break for it.."

[harizman6]

What is the name of the song??

[nonickisavailable]

wow only 6 hours to change the whole engine of aircraft??? and you go to volkswagen to change a little piece that costs 12 dollars. they charge you 10 hours for the labor! I remember paying 1200 dollars to have something changed. And I also remember that around 80 percent of the cost was labor cost. I was pissed...

[crissy214]

maybe tulsa. lightning goes cloud to ground in oklahoma

[wlb50]

Amazing bit of engineering both in the engine and the mounting and connection points to allow this in 6 hours. I remember at the Reno Air Races a Blue Angel F18 needed an engine change - it couldn't have been more than an hour - probably more like 30-45 minutes.

I remember at Boeing Field GE would charter a Russian Transport to bring these engines out.

Imagine the metallurgy of those turbine blades - 14 feet in diameter and 3300 rpm.

Amazing.

[Alex41119]

Wow, how many hours does it take to change a "simple" engine?

[burcmm]

The place could be the hangar of AA in JFK NY...

[N747PA]

@burcmm The towbar has AFW on it...It is probably Alliance Fort Worth in Texas

[Dockman107]

The music is soo peaceful and relaxing while there putting in all of this hard work

[jm431]

wow the wheels on the plane are huge compared to the human, also song goes perfect with the video for some reason

[TheSweSkillz0rs]

I.. just.. fucking love airplanes O_O

[thenickmanisawesome]

they did it in 6 hours but this vid did it in 3 min 33 seconds

[julionica]

Bicycle at 3:29 WTF? It's kind of funny!

[Sanosuke004]

This is obviously at Paine field near Seattle, WA. :D Also known for where they assemble new Boeing planes. ;D

[cjjr1996]

@Sanosuke004 No that is not Paine Field I live next to Paine Field. And that is not the boeing plant. It just looks live on of AA's hangers somewhere else.

[Sanosuke004]

This is obviously at Paine field near Seattle, WA. :D

[woodshuck]

@onefugowie wtf?

[1980sFreak]

what a kick-ass video!

[ny1fanta]

whoa all done by hand....

[e081194eng]

Great video... love it !!

[mikeycbd]

Excellent!

[Techno04335]

trent 800s?

[o0bananaman0o]

that cannot be right 300 litres per min on takeoff? how much fuel does the 777 carry?

[willghass]

@o0bananaman0o more than you can imagine

[Dracozanos]

@o0bananaman0o The 777-200LR and the -300ER can carry up to roughly 180.000 Litres of Fuel...

[pietrodiseriate]

music title???

[1995a1995z]

@e081194eng Hey if you dont mind telling me but how much do you get paid as I wanna also become an aircraft engineer. Thanks :-)

[PeetPeeet]

Wow! Great vid... I love stuff like this :)

[iwannaplaycs]

Great vid! but it would be sweeter if it was a 777-200LR or -300ER with their ridiculous GE-90s and attendant 115,000 lbs of thrust each! ;)

[Techno04335]

@iwannaplaycs American airlines ordered 2 777-300er's with GE90s!

[PSremote]

3:54 mini tornado pwnage

[oomblikkies]

First time I saw this. Like these 'behind the scenes. videos. Cool.

[2011aviator]

Don't be scared baby, soon this will be all over and you will take to the skies once more.

[tobilie94]

Why are they rotating??

[Alex090]

@tobilie94

That question hast been replied many times, check the comments next time buddy.

A: Its the wind blowing that makes them spin and some personnel spins them. Because of the low friction they spin pretty easily, and they did speed up the video x times hence why it look likes it spins fast.

[SFConifer]

Just make sure you disconnect the battery before you remove the engine

[iceboy1671]

whoops i tripped into the running engine gahhhhhhhhhhhhh *shredding and bloody noises*

[RCasto]

that was cool!

[rednoseroxy]

6 hours????? SORRY. I've gotta call the BULLSHIT flag on that one. I just don't see how that's possible. Never changed one on a 777 but I've changed at least 20 on the USAF KC-10A Extender. (militarized dc-10) and it was about took at least 12 hours with 6 veterans working it.

[Bgrazier]

@rednoseroxy looks like its still dark when they are finished

[bktodc]

@Bgrazier yeah remember at the end the caption said it took about 6 hours

[nathan775]

@rednoseroxy I am only an amateur, but maybe its easier. lol sorry I am a retard :D

[PMAN365]

@rednoseroxy ya but ive met USAF mechanics and they where fucked

[fluffycat087]

Superb!!!! .

I love this kinda shit.

I only get to muck around with anaesthetic machines bahhh!

[LaughsWontHurt]

Yes but ... how many people can it kill per minute??

[ARNOSUPERFABRREGOUL]

good



[AVIATIO]

Human might at its utmost.

[chaghar]

after how many miles or hours of work does an engine need to be replaced?

[harpreetakjsingh]

@chaghar every 300,000 miles

[taylor1hp]

@harpreetakjsingh are you sure?

[mrdiamondback1]

@harpreetakjsingh Are you fucking dumb?! They replace the enigne when Its dont work anymore! 300.000 miles Is nothing! The worlds must driven car is over 500,000 miles in one single enigne!

[tswmartin]

@mrdiamondback1 you sir are the dumb one. they replace aircraft engines after a period of hours.it's required on all aircraft. can't have one giving out mid flight.

[mrdiamondback1]

@tswmartin My dad work at boeing. I ask him

[harpreetakjsingh]

@tswmartin point proven

[Ne1170]

@tswmartin What do they do with the old ones? do they just service them and put them back on?

[badback22]

I wanted to see the bolts. I like Aviation STUFF as much as anyone. This vid wud have the same appeal if the camera were 500 yards away :) Closer! :)

[ghettoperson257]

wow i love how the no.2 engine sounded at 4:17 while turning

[khalid01234]

look at the wing when they start put the engine on

amazing !!!

[MegaRoutier]

Nice video!

[pilotso]

what song is this?

[JOHNBASS117111]

I REALLY ENJOYED THAT......THE LIGHTNING DID MAKE IT HAVE MORE DRAMATIC EFFECT..............NOW THATS.................HOW YOU CHANGE A FREAKIN' ENGINE.

[Armuotas]

Sink vortices at 3:45 , so cool.

[stephqaz]

@offalyman1

Oh ok well I guess that makes sense, thanks!

[DrDissent]

I bet the Wright brothers are smiling somewhere up in the clouds.

[stephqaz]

It's funny to me how fast the hanger door closes as if to say to the weather "come on give us some privacy!" but this was amazing how fast it was done. Also I wonder how they turn to the right with only the right engine started, I tried that in Flight sim and only ended up turning left still.

[offalyman1]

@stephqaz well, to be fair, FS is a computer generated interpritation, although it is extremely accurite, in real life them engines produce about 80k lbs of thrust pushing an empty plane forward as long as there is forward momentum the plane will just follow where the front wheels are facing :)

[AirlinePilotStuart]

Where was the engine change done at?

[Jackass2905]

Rolls Royce Trent 800

[dano94]

cool starts to rain at 1:17

[globalmilind]

I can feel this music and video!

[silverboots000]

lol bicycle 3:30 wtf

[globalmilind]

What's the name of this music? Anyone?

[handsome946]

good

[TheL94e]

top video . great music too



[dca68]

nice music, what's the name?

[jodonte1]

really enjoyed that !! great pix, great info, great to be alive.. thanx.....all the best..

[trenabolx]

my BF is turbine engineer at AA

[MrThemato]

no lost nut & bults?? but good job

[hemfrid]

A lot of nuts and bults there ... Better not forget anyone!

[GreekFenah]

This is Aviation Porn to me. I love it and watch it over over. Just plain cool.

[JOHNBASS117111]

@GreekFenah

ITS JUST ''PLANE'' COOL.

[Sirchopp]

@GreekFenah it even has the beggining music

[bktodc]

@GreekFenah LoL love that analogy

[willghass]

@GreekFenah Aviation Porn. Sounds raunchy

[krayzeejojo]

@willghass What's wrong? Never joined the Mile-High Club? :p
