@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.
@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.
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 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 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 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
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!!!!
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!!
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.
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.
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 !
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.
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
