757's are just so awesome and aircraft its just surreal.The best i have come across is 757 steep take off at LHR i just love watching the sound is to die for,let me know what you think just pop it the search box you will not be disappointed.
i love it, reading all the post, of fellow jet geeks...i love this sound , love the 75, dc-10 (my grandfather flew these) 747...I I like to say ahhhh. the smell of 757 in the morning!
@MSSpenceProductions Every 757 aircraft can fly ETOPS flights(Extended Twin Operating ProcedureS) maybe they have same RB211 but one was maybe used flex temp take off and another full power...
I used to work for an airline, who flew these. I can remember as a flight attendant , sitting in the 2L jumpseat at takeoff, after he pulled the power back, all the passangers eyes would look at me, cause they thought the engines stopped turning. even on the fullest flights, and hottest humid days, this aircraft always semmed over powered to me, its really an awesome plane, not that flight attendant friendly though.
@davdaninja If the Tristar had three of these engines putting out the same thrust per engine, it would have one third more total thrust than this plane with two of them. Show me your math.
@beeroosterm it had three engines that produced more thrust
Name Static thrust (lbf)
RB211-524B4 53000 for the l1011-500
RB211-535C 37400 for the 757-200
which is per engine, 53000 x3 l1011 vs 37400 x2 for 757-200
this is what i mean about almost twice the thrust per engine because the engine is rated at almost twice the static thrust as the 757s engine is.it does seem as i was a bit unclear about my last comment.
@davdaninja Thanks for clearing that up, but your math is still way off. Twice 37,400 is 74,800 - not 53,000. However, the L-1011 with three of the 524B4's has slightly more than twice the total thrust than the 757 has with two 535C's. (159,000 vs. 74,800)
@Marineperson there could be several reasons. Incoming aircraft so they are asked to make an immediate takeoff or simply because they got clearence while taxing.
@houshidar558 They're not the same RB211's as the 747-400 mate. The 747-400's are powered with RB211-524G/H's, which are bigger than the RB211-535E4's that power these 757's.
I think i was on one of these from United, they usually travel small distances? LAX to Houston? I remember the Rolls Royce logo on the side of the plane. These engines have to be one of the loudest? I remember them being really loud, but also; these engines have like a second gear during take off don't they? I remember the takeoff started normal, and then a second gear just pinned us to the back of our seats...
There may of been a aircraft on final when you were taking off, because of the fast time between taxying onto the runway and power up and also because the pilot did not stop. And by the way an AMAZING video.
Rock and roll yeah! Airplanes are masterpiece of human engineering! Big thanks to all the engineerings who worked hard during the past century to make this dream come true!
The British are notorious for making poor quality electrical equipment (Lucas being a prime example), but they make excellent mechanical equipment such as this RR engine.
@SpartanW98 Did you sit right next to the engine, A little forward to the engine, for far ahead the engine? The best place to hear the RB-211 Growl is a little forward to the engine like in this video. If there are no growling sound at all, I'm sure there's something wrong with the engine...
Love this plane! it's also more suited for passengers than the A320, A321's that are replacing it. If you've ever in a 757, you'll notice how it has plenty of restrooms so there's not much waiting to go. Unlike on the A320's where there are two in the back and that's it.
when i was on an air canada embraer from toronto to seattle i had to wait 15 mins to use it because they only have 2 onboard but the one at the front of the aircraft is for "execuctive" pax:P what a load of shit... no pun intended
Yes. They have been sold to DHL to be converted to cargo.
I believe, for the summer flying schedule there will be 3, or possibly 4 in operation, then they will depart the fleet at the start of October for the winter schedule. To be replaced with the current deliveries of A320 aircraft (G-EUYF to K). A very sad event in it's self. They will still be operated in the Openskies fleet from Paris to the US.
Shame about the liveries that BA sprayed up on there tails :( Especially the "Blue Peter" 757. Well its the same with every airline who owns the 757. Theyll all be gone in the next 20 years. You can normally tell if a 757 is going to be with an airline for a bit, as they put winglets on them.
@cloudinvader think so? perhaps you should watch this: Type Boeing 747 into youtube and click the first result, it should be called "Boeing 747-400 from Virgin Atlantic Airways at Ringway/Manchester Intl Airport by Simon Lowe
at present nothing civil is more powerful than the GE90... the RB211 based Trent 900 which is used to propel the A380 has about 75% of the power of a GE90.
This is one of the best RB211 study videos. These engines and the Trents make music. Don't understand why everyone doesn't use them. Are they more expensive?
both types over power the jets immensly, that why they are so efficient,they never require full thrust for take off and cruise.
Other airlines,mostly american use P&W, which are loud,polluting and not as efficient. the first time i flew on a Tristar with the very first RB211-524B4 engines which nearly bankrupted RR.Now they had some turbine sound....i fell in love right there!!
@LaminaDieWills What engines did the DC-10 use. Here in Michigan, years ago these Northwest Airlines DC-10s had the most menacing growl out of any other plane I had ever heard. Now that ceases to exist. I think it has to do with the fact that no more DC-10s are around and they're all MD-11s that look like DC-10s, but with different engines. Strange enough. During cruising speeds. I'm talking like 5 minutes away from the airport ready for arrival, you could still hear the growl. Strange isn't it
@LaminaDieWills Thank you for the all the great details. I think I'm going to have to agree with you. I do prefer the RB211s, but you know what engine is right up there with the RB211s? It's the CFM-56 on the A320 and the IAE V2500. Right now I'm watching this united airlines 777 incheon take off interesting growl from these indeed.
@CHRISGT34 Hm seems you like them Pratts. UA operates PW4090s on their 777s... problematic biatches that they are ¬¬
I for one love the great RRRRRRRRRRRRRRR all 3-spool RR engines since the original RB211 have made at T/O thrust... the Trents on the A340-600 are heavenly.
the BA 747's use the same engine as the 767. not the 757. Very similar but the 757/767 engines dont sound alike. the 767/747 engine has a loud whistling/howling noise. the RR 757 is more like the old RR they put on the Tristar and some 747-200's years ago, with that grinding fan sound i love. nowadays they just howl with high pitch.

Now that ceases to exist. I think it has to do with the fact that no more DC-10s are around and they're all MD-11s that look like DC-10s, but with different engines. Strange enough. During cruising speeds. I'm talking like 5 minutes away from the airport ready for arrival, you could still hear the growl. Strange isn't it

The DC-10 had a variant of engines.
The 10-10 had GE CF6-6
The 10-15 had more powerful CF6-50C2F
The 10-30 had CF6-50
The 10-30ER had CF6-50C2B
The 10-40's changed to PW JT9D-15 and then later to JT9D-25W. But Japan Airlines chose the JT9D-49A
They had a louder more high pitched growl compared to the TriStar. I like both but prefer the RB211. Just the turbine sound. love it!!

@LaminaDieWills Thank you for the all the great details. I think I'm going to have to agree with you. I do prefer the RB211s, but you know what engine is right up there with the RB211s? It's the CFM-56 on the A320 and the IAE V2500. Right now I'm watching this united airlines 777 incheon take off interesting growl from these indeed.

@CHRISGT34 Hm seems you like them Pratts. UA operates PW4090s on their 777s... problematic biatches that they are ¬¬
I for one love the great RRRRRRRRRRRRRRR all 3-spool RR engines since the original RB211 have made at T/O thrust... the Trents on the A340-600 are heavenly.

the BA 747's use the same engine as the 767. not the 757. Very similar but the 757/767 engines dont sound alike. the 767/747 engine has a loud whistling/howling noise. the RR 757 is more like the old RR they put on the Tristar and some 747-200's years ago, with that grinding fan sound i love. nowadays they just howl with high pitch.

That sound is really cool. The only engine sound I liked better was when I was on a British Airways 747, that was awesome!

Funny you should say that. Because the BA744s and BA752s use exactly the same engine. the 744 just uses more of them!
