  • General Electric.

  • cool its taxing out

  • gotta love the pre-designated safe ingestion area

  • hypnotized O.o

  • I bet Frank Whittle was blown away and impressed when his first Jet engine began

    starting up :)

  • thats trippy

  • I fucking love that sound....

  • It's ok to stand there at idle speed but when the throttles move fwd you better start steppin' back...way back...

  • I love that sound could hear a lifetime !!!

  • That sound isn't annoying or anything.

  • how to the fans start spinning? like compressed air or..?

  • @Drpepperman1885 It uses bleed air from either another engine or APU; or air from a start cart.

  • el culo

    es

    podrio

    

  • I can listen to that all day

  • Check out that white dot! That thing was really messing around with my eyesight. No wonder birds will fly away from this thing.

  • That's a sound to remember! I love it!

  • What a sound! Beautiful!

  • I love this sound!!!

  • I love this sound!!!

  • I love this sound!!!

  • @ManInBlackIsInThe

    Me 2 xD Always love it when a plane get ready to fly and give it on full power

  • Great sound.........makes my heart flutter! :)

  • SOmeone please answer this if you know, what gets the blades spinning to begin start up??

  • How is the engine cranked??

  • And that is only in idle....

  • *thumbs* for your confidence, standing there infront...lol | but i guess u do that everyday...

  • does an electric motor start this?!

  • @1crzyaznmofo It doesn't. It is started by compressed air created by the APU in the tail of the aircraft

  • @1crzyaznmofo Nope. it's compressed air from another turbine engine in the tail of the plane called the aux. power unit.

  • @1crzyaznmofo depends on the engine itself.

    some engines use air-powered and other use electric starters.

  • @1crzyaznmofo the APU in the tail starts it

  • @1crzyaznmofo

    no they use air from the APU

  • @1crzyaznmofo pneumtic starter

  • @1crzyaznmofo no they use a pneumatic starter

  • @1crzyaznmofo On most airliners, there is a jet engine called an APU (Auxilliary Power Unit) And when starting a engine bleed air from the APU's compressor flows to the engine turbine starter spooling the engine. If you want to understand this more goto AgentJayZ's channel.

    Tyler,

  • @1crzyaznmofo -

    I'd say yes, but I've only started one of those small old fashioned planes.

  • @1crzyaznmofo yeah planes have electric starters and once it spins fast enough to compress the air and ignite the fuel is goes on its own.

  • @1crzyaznmofo No, it is started by airflow from the APU (or Auxiliary Power Unit), which is like a little jet engine in the tail of the plane (ever seen them?). It provides electrical power and compressed air while the main engines are off.

  • @1crzyaznmofo Not this engine. Smaller turbine engines like the PT-6 will use an electric motor for starting; this engine uses compressed air from either the APU or a ground source.

  • pratt and whitney or GE ??

  • @drivingdude2007 Ge CF-6

  • i wish this could be my alarm clock :D

  • power provided by Pratt and Whitney

  • Lets take a closer look shall we lol

  • that would be so scary standing right there

  • What % of power was that?

  • holy crap

  • I have been hypnotized by the magic eye of the engine.

  • the spinner is hypnotic

  • excuse my ignorance, I know nothing about planes so please dont diss, I'm just curious...how come the plane isn't thrusted along with the engines powering up to that velocity?

  • @Stevieboy74 No one's answered your question so I will: the engine in this video is nowhere near full power. It just seems like it is because of how long it takes to get to its idle speed. If you were to keep the camera there during takeoff, you'd see astonishing power. (Of course, parking brakes help too!)

  • @Stevieboy74 At idle power, they produce around 3,000 pounds of thrust, not enough to move the plane.

  • @Stevieboy74 There is not enough "thrust" to make the plane move in the start up sequence

  • @Stevieboy74 airplanes are heavy ur gonna need a more thrust when engines are idil (spelling) they really arent putting a lot of thrust out

  • @Stevieboy74 The brakes should still be on (wheels), which keeps the aircraft from moving. Also, these engines must be powered up to way past idle (which I think is all you can see here) to move such a large object. At full power I doubt you'd be able to stand so close since you might get sucked in.

  • @Stevieboy74 It has to do with the amount of force (thrust), not the speed

  • @Stevieboy74 park brakes stop it rolling forward, but even with them off it will take more than just thrust at idle (which is the power setting for start) to overcome the friction created by the weight of the plane. Park brakes off it would only roll forward very slowly

  • @Stevieboy74 becuase the engine is producing no thrust. thats just the turbines going

  • @Stevieboy74 i understand what ur saying it is that the engines havent gotten up to idle power yet and in idle power it makes the plane taxi at start up the thrust isnt built up yet so it cant push the plane forward thats why the engines have to run at i think 3300 rpm just to get the plane to taxi at 10 mph

  • wow

  • That only took 55 seconds to start up!! Awesome!

  • This is the most beautiful sound that man has ever created!

  • amazing this sound beats music

  • WOW... Was that a First Choice 767... I see the livery... looks like it... amazing capture :P

  • Modern, HBP turbofan starts are so mundane and uneventful (usually). Actually, I could fall asleep during a start.

  • I LOVE THESE PLANES SO MUCH!!!!

    A 767 was the very first widebody ive ever flown on. I loved them ever since! :>

  • Bad ass : )

  • Awesome Vid!!!

  • i would love to put one of these babies on my car

  • amazing

  • this is better than any music.

    i am going to ignore all the argues

  • that is better than any music I've ever heard

    I'm going to ignore how many argues I get

  • Best sound in the world MUSIC MUSIC MUSIC

  • MUSIC  MUSIC MUSIC

  • Goodness me

    I do this for a living, starting engines on airbus A320's but the sound from outside the aircraft is sublime!!!! As another poster said, At 0.22 when the fuel is introduced into the engine and it lights up...is there a better sound? Love the CF6!!!!

    flyinga320

  • wow,great=)

  • ohh nice! I love this sound!

  • AWESOME!!!

  • Awesome sound!!! At 0:21, that's when the fuel comes in...

  • lol... very good!!

  • That is the best sounding jet engine I've ever heard! The only one that even comes close to sounding as good is the Rolls Royce "Trent" engines on the 777!!

  • Turbofans are love....

  • love the sound

  • That is awesome!!!

  • thats fast as hell

  • awsome vid man, the sound of that engine is like music

  • GREAT Thanks ... !

  • im workin at the airport doing qantus renovation damn these things are loud

  • +1 here

  • I love the off centered ball painting ;D

  • Its beauitiful.

  • I heart Jet Noise.

  • DAM i love that sound!!!!!!!!!!!

  • sounds like my toyota corolla

  • Music to my ears yeah!!!!

  • I'm still amazed everytime I see these planes fly.

  • i love this amazing powerfull sound!

  • because it's the sound of pure power.

  • Boeing Rulez!!!

  • Dude, most aviators and people who love aviation love jet engines...

  • its because of the tremendous power it makes. You can't help but be in awe of something so much more powerful than anyone alive. The sound I would say is like the sound of a great hawk shrieking. It makes it seem as though it's alive.

  • Powerful things amaze us, and noise indicates power. I find any noisy machinery amazing.

  • Good comment.

  • woooooooow!! wonderful suond 5*

  • that guy is not afraid of being sucked in

  • Dear All,

    I have some questions about sensation and psychology:

    (1) Why do we enjoy watching jet enjines?

    (2) Why does the high-pitch-sound of the jet engines are so attractive to us?

    (3) Why does starting a jet engine so attractive to us?

    THANK YOU IN ADVANCE for your creative ideas and brainstorm!!! :)

  • Wow.

  • Ah... suck, squeeze, bang, blow..... in perfect man made harmony...

    All hail the jet engine, it helped make the world a smaller place!

  • I just flew the 737300 most awesome plane in history. Love the GE90 super performance and quiet.

  • why do they paint that cone in the middle?

  • so u can tell that the engine is running

  • Supposedly, birds don't like the way it looks and try to avoid it.

  • I don't think the birds can see a little spinning white circle coming at them at 500mph, much less do anything about it. Unless, of course, you mean on the ground.

  • I wonder which bird told them that.

  • I heard that they paint it to scare Birds away and to indicate, that the Fan-wheel is spinning

  • yea

  • airplane geeks...

  • awesome

  • Also music to my ear... Always the same when I hear engines start-up: I'm thrilled, especially at moments like 0:23 !!! The best is the GE90 when it's roaring !

  • Absolutely Mann....100% Same Here!!!!!

  • I made an alarm clock out of this beautifull sound.

  • That was beautiful. *tear from eye*. Only 4 more years then I'll be joining the club. Pilot school *sighs*.

  • OHH i love when i am sitting inside and the Pilot applies full throttle to take off. I love the acceleration and how it sticks you to the seat.

  • congratulation brother good video, sound for my ears...

  • amazing. ^^

  • yea you're right thats music!!!!

  • I love the whining sound at 0:23+, so cool!! Cant wait, 6-7 more years and i will be siting in ultra first class!!! Co-pilot!

  • love aircrafts.

  • That was pretty cool. Thrust and power!!!

  • awesome sound !!!!!

  • What turns the turbine?

    Air pressure?

    When does this engine actually ignite?

    Thank you.

  • Yep, at first, you "start" the engine with air pressure, so that it's turning. At a certain rpm, the ignition starts and the engine runs on its own power. You can hear the ignition at 0:23 and beyond.

  • Yes! The N2 turbine is spinned by the APU (auxiliary power unit) bleed air and when it reaches approx. 20% the captain moves the fuel control lever to start the ignition.

  • At first the main fan (and the rest of the turbine stages) are mechanically spun up to get them moving. Then the ignitors (kind of like spark plugs) are turned on, which, in some jets can be heard by a click-clicking sound. At a high enough speed, fuel is added and the engine is started. That's the deep whoosh-hum sound @ 0:23. Then the engine spins up to idle-operating speed. It's a seamless process of intake, compression, ignition, and exhaust (thrust). Suck-squash-burn-blow.

  • You seem to know a lot about jet engines. What are the asymmetric markings on the hub for. Do they have any use.

  • The the asymmetric markings are so you know it's spinning.

  • The Turbine is spun by the got gasses spinning a turbine wheel before they exit the engine, which is why these engines operate at such a high RPM, The engine ignites when it is spun fast enough to the point where the air and gas ignited can only flow to the back of the engine

  • Great start-up! They should put blue LED inside the engine, so it would look cool at night. :)

  • brilliant, made me cuckle!!, even left a thumbs up there :)

  • wouldnt want to get too close

  • ahhhh that sound!!

  • its really cool how you can actually see all the way through the engine when its on the lower RPMs,

  • man that white circle is the best!!!

  • Great shot. Love the big Turbofans.

    They move a lot more air than our jets.

    I like the slow walk backwards as the LP picks up speed!

  • what a crazy white circle...

    perfect 5\5

  • awesome. the middle bit looks like a little ball bouncing around in a circle.

    but awesomeness.

  • i love that sound..!! AWESOME video :)

  • I would not want to be in front of that thing while starting up

  • This is AWESOME best start up vid ive seen

  • I love that sound!

  • Great Video

  • is it safe 2 stay in front of engine while it starts off!!!!!! Oo

  • Only if it is safe to jump out of a car driving on the Autobahn. This is quite dangerous. Love Boeing though, better than Airbus.

  • the throttle was at idle though

  • Orgasm :D

  • youv gotta love that sound

  • How exciting it is to hear the engines start up! I want to be a mechanical engineer and want to work with commercial aviation related stuff...

  • ignition kicks in at 22 secs here.

  • wow

  • this guy got 9 lives..

  • I love how you can hear the combustion resonance as it ignites and starts getting up to flight idle.

  • I was wondering about that. At what point is the jet fuel ignited? I call tell in a chopper, but here...? I can't hear squat.

  • i believe at 38

  • At :22, you can hear when the fuel is introduced into the combustion chamber.

  • your right... its 22

  • The fuel was always in the combustion chamber...at 22 seconds the throttle is increased to overcome inertia to give the turbofan a good start

  • I think at 0:22.

  • u got balls i could never get that close id shit myself

  • Do Not Try This At Home lol

    But, anyway, great video

  • Great Video thanks

  • dam u wer close.

  • jesus!!! You were close!!!
