  • It's true. You can really them...they're like hearing a whip crack...at John Wayne Airport.

  • OK

    

  • wow the last one was... (:O!!!

  • I here that vortex sound at Bradley Airport a lot! I always think it's the turbulence.......

  • phantom jet......

    

  • Great sound capture :D

  • is this some kind of weird fetish, listening to a vortex

  • wtf is this video about. i must be missing something. hopefully not something that could make me more sucessful with women.

  • Comment removed

  • So that's what a vortex sounds like. I didn't realize they had sounds.

    Pretty cool. :D

  • the CRJ-200's make the best wake turbulance sounds! i have a place in EUG where they fly right over like that and its cool to listen to them.

  • think u should lay off the crack

  • fake

  • wow, pretty cool, never noticed that!

  • I love a good vortex

  • Good video, good captions

  • that audio at the end has been processed with a reverb.

  • i thought it is sound from high speed air exited from engines

  • man, i love the sound of vortexes

  • keep your camera still

  • sounds pretty scary

  • wow that's cool at the end of the vid.

  • lol that last one sounded cool

  • @rdrd4544 Because people unlike you have a passion in somthing so quit being an ass hole, I've never seen a car at 35'000 Feet or engines that push 15,000 pounds or more either!

  • The vortexes seem to affect the cameraman more than the lampposts and stuff.

  • bombardier challenger 605

  • It can be heard at 0:37 very clearly :)

  • hope you are kidding Gergerberger...

    Winglets do not eliminate wake vortices!! .... but with flaps down, the biggest vortices come off the trailing edge of the outer flaps.

    A 747-400 has winglets, but caused the wake turbulence that American Airlines A300 felt when it crashed in Nov 2001. Just proving that winglets dont eliminate wake vortices...

    but think your post may have been sarcastic anyway.... so disregard if it was. :)

  • half of those planes wouldn't make vortecies due to the winglets, which are there to eliminate the vortecies. I will bet you money that the sound and shaking lamppost are due to huge chunks of metal pushing air out of the way

  • @Gergerberger winglets increase fuel economy, they prevent the air on the bottom of the wing from mixing with the air on the top of the wing producing drag. they do not eliminate vortecies, it is impossible. any object, no matter what shape or size will create some sort of disturbance when it travels through a fluid.

  • induced drag baby

  • Wow, you're a fag

  • Is that an NC State University shirt he's wearing? =)

  • i heard wake turbulence for the first time today at the local airport. it completely scared me because air force one was landing and about 5-8 seconds later i heard WHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOSH and it was gone, sounded like it went 1,000mph... and the tops of the trees started moving all around... i thought it was a damn missle! so i came here to youtube to check out what the sound might be. never knew this stuff was audible!

  • The only thing shaking in this video, is the camera. STUPID

  • This isn't really much of anything new, I'll hear these remaining noises all the time.

  • My farts leave pretty big vortexes.

  • wow that is awesome!!!!!

  • If you ever complain about waiting to take off this is why your required to wait 8 minutes between aircraft

  • 8 Minutes, are you having a laugh? You need to check your wake votrex seperation chart. Theres very little that would require more than 2 minutes. and if the following aircraft is able to lift off and stay above the flightpath of the preceding aircraft until able to turn clear than no separation is required, 8 minutes seperation simply doesnt exist for any aircraft

  • 8 mins...try like 2.

  • Comment removed

  • Saw/heard the same thing in Tampa and you could see the vortices making small tornadoes across the water.. amazing stuff.

  • wow the last one sounds like an ailen aircraft going overhead...

  • ya i hear these sometimes when i go to Miami...we stay in a hotel that is right under the approach path for runway 26L... theyre actually longer and more pronounced when i hear them in Miami...

  • Yes I have seen and heard this also. When the air is moist the wingtips of a landing airplane leave behind long swirling and twisting "tubes" of misty air that make eerie sounds. They can last some 30 seconds before they dissipate...

  • Wow...that last one especially! Very chilling.

  • WOUAW so cool thanx man, I heard the vortex much better at the end! Awesome!

  • really cool, I knew about them, but I never knew that you could hear them or nontheless SEE them!

    thanks for uploading!!

  • Imagine an A380 was one of those planes :)

  • Nice. The first time I experienced that it really scared the crap out of me. It was at night, and a 757 flew over my head. When I heard the vortices, I tought that it was a piece of sheet metal that ripped off the airplane or something, and was about to slam on my head. Sounded like wobbling and bending metal. :)

  • "Heavy" aircraft create a larger wake turbulance. the tower will mention "Caution wake turbulence" for a smaller aircraft taking off/laning after an aircraft larger than it.

    great shots of CRJ's, Embraer's, MD80 and I saw an 737 as well...

  • What is the sound, is it just the wind from the vortex or what?

    Cool

  • that last one is fantastic

  • Awesome, you really should record it in the rain.. :) I've been watching vortice tests now thanks to you, haha...

  • is this Bradley International Airport?

  • no it is philly

  • what is wake turbulence?

  • Wake turbulence is turbulence that forms behind an aircraft as it passes through the air. This turbulence includes various components, the most important of which are wingtip vortices and jetwash. Jetwash refers simply to the rapidly moving gases expelled from a jet engine; it is extremely turbulent, but of short duration. Wingtip vortices, on the other hand, are much more stable and can remain in the air for up to three minutes after the passage of an aircraft.

  • thanks

  • No problem! ......man i sound like such a nerd!

  • No you sound like a pilot ;).

  • There use to be motorcross track at the approach end of Ft. Lauderdale Int'l where people would have their pop-up canopies set up and when a big bird landed like a 7-6, 7-4 etc. those canopies would become airborne quickly. Talk about a BAD location. Quite hilarious until one actually flew into one of the riders. Needless to say the track was shut down promptly thereafter.

  • sweeeeeeet:D

  • the second one is the best for an example of it

  • I used to go to this exact spot when I lived in NJ about 20 years ago. I'm surprised they still let people hang out there. Brings back some good memories.

  • I fly to much to be watchin dis shit

  • I live under the 18L approach into Orlando Intl. (KMCO)... For 20 years, I always thought that noise was the engine sounds echoing off of other things... Now I know better!

  • haha i live in rancho cucamonga

  • Awesome sounds!

  • When I use to do Planespoting at CMH (Port Columbus, Columbus Ohio) I used to stand in front the west or east side of the main runway and see the Big Jets fly over on landing. I loved when the wake Turbulence is heard in felt after the Jet Flys over. Its awesome.

  • retard!

  • *plane gives wakup call to plane behind him*

    Vortex: WAKE UP IDIOT

  • watch?v=CCmcVFt8Y7c

  • looks like anonymity0 is the only guy who knows what he is talking about !

  • How fun! I do the same thing here at my hometown of ontario airport. Its fun to hear the vortecies fly overhead! Nice video

  • ..think of wake turbulence like the wake of a ship in the sea...

  • Wake turbulence is created by an aircraft travelling through the air, which churns the air behind it; hence, separation of aircraft during landing. Wing Vortex spirals from the wingtips the opposite direction of flight, ehich creates drag; hence, the use of winglets...

  • Its a like Sideways tornado....

  • hey if at 2:03 that would be the reverse thrust noise from the plane

  • thats the WAKES!

  • Vortex is so cool! At Gothenburg Landvetter airport [ESGG/GOT], you can see the vortex spinning around several minutes after the plane has landed!

  • have you ever seen a vagina

  • Nope.

  • ???? this film bored the hell out of me. I want my 2:12 minutes back

  • Think that's crazy, try the edge of the north runway at LAX or even better, the beach at St. Martin. Makes those regionals look and feel like model planes and at LAX, no time lapse needed.

  • I think he is outside.

  • how can you tell the difference between the vortex and the engine noise?

  • vortex sounds like wind whistling and some crackling way after the plane passed overhead...say about 30 seconds upto a min....however, this is not wake turbulence....wake turbulence is caused by Engine thrust and not wingtip vortex. Wing Tip vortices dont pose any threat and thats why a plane taking off and one landing need a certain amount of distance with ATC cautioning the arriving traffic to watch out for turbulence from departing jet ( the bigger the engines, the more the turbulence).

  • No, what you're referring to is jet blast. Wake turulence is caused by wingtip vorties which are created at each wing tip of the wing whenever the wing is producing lift.

    Wing tip vortices of large aircraft pose a signifcant threat to other aircraft because they are basically "hozitonal tornados".

    Wing tip vortices last much longer and extend much further back than jet blast can. They also tend to desend below the aircraft as well.

  • Sir I would have to admit you are totaly right... that other guy does not know squat.

  • Man you don't know anything...

  • yeah, coz i dont have a PHD like you

  • you dont need a PHD..im a 17 year old, getting his PPC and even I know it.

  • Im guessing you dont get out much

  • I guess its meant to be that sound thats like a cracking of a whip, many times over. Can't hear that here tho.

  • The cool thing is yesterday I went and I can hear them too

  • Hey, nice video

    characteristic CRJ-200

  • great video :]

  • i dont get it

  • me 2!

  • whoopy fuckin doooo!

  • Shit Video

  • ...atención señores pasajeros...abróchense bien los cinturones para que no se desparramen los cadáveres...gracias

  • now i know what i heard when my car broke down so i had to pull off the road right beside the airport. Every time a plane landed, i would hear that noise for another 10-15 seconds and i didnt know what it was

  • to bad there wasnt any trains.

  • actually, parasite drag = form drag + skin friction drag... then associated with parasite drag is interference drag, which is drag caused from an object being adjacent to another object in a streamline flow. induced drag is a bi-product of lift. the more lift the more drag, and is most noticable when at high angles of attack and slower airspeeds. (which is why wing tip vortices are strongest on landings and takeoffs)

  • just wanted to reduce the stuff to an easyer level so that everybody can understand it ^^

  • sorry thats not right!

    wingtips are reducing the induced drag by increasing the aspect ratio of the wing .. in fact they are even increasing the parasite drag by giving the plane a bigger surface ..

    dont mix up parasite and induced drag!

    and the turbine of the crj is shielded it is the most quiet aircraft in its class.

    but that shiel is included in the engine so you cant really see it from the outside

  • It's amazing how uneducated some of you people are. Winglets reduce parasitic drag by calming the vortexes on the wingtips. The reason the CRJ's motors seem louder in this video is because the turbine is not shielded.

    If you look at the wing-mounted engine airplane, there is a shield around the core section and the turbines, eliminating a lot of the screech it produces. It's not the wing noise you're hearing as much as the engines...

  • Winglets reduce form drag, pasasite drag is form + induced drag.

  • Winglets reduce induced drag by limiting the realative high pressure air under the wing from swinging around the wingtip to the low pressure air on the top of the wing (like a block so to speak). The air rushing from the bottom to the top create wingtip vortices (like horizontal twisters) You don't want to be anywhere near them in a small plane - they can have their way with you and put you into the ground when taking off. We need to wait at least 2 minutes after a large plane takes off.

  • What about cross span vortices?!

  • yes alphakazi, what about cross span vortices!?

  • Your video proves a point I've been trying to make

    to planespotters here in Montreal for a long time:....

    the small Bombardier CRJs seem to make the most wake noise.

    Somehow, the 747s, 777s, 767s, 340s, 330s and MD11s

    that fly right over our heads at the threshhold of runway 24R

    can't match the vortex sucking sounds of the CRJ.

    Of course, since the Canadair Regional Jets are manufactured

    here in Montreal, we see more than our fair share of them.

  • Remember the CRJ has a shorter wing compared to boeing/ airbus aircraft. A larger wing span reduces induced drag, hence why gliders have long wing spans.

  • wow, you're smart. i used to want to be a pilot.

  • the winglets on the wings are meant to reduce that

  • I used to believe in wake turbulence, but now I only believe in things I can see.

  • oh the wake turbulence, I've been in a 182 and gotten it from a crj and it sucks, kewl vid man

  • I've tried wake turbulence from an ATR-72 in a C-152, and it's not very comfortable I can tell you...

  • i dont get it.

  • Audible Wake Vortex off of jet

    Watch that and you will understand. It's much more closer and you will be able to hear it better.

  • During training at Fort Dix one of our play areas was about 300 meters from the threshold of McGuire AFB RWY 6. The wake noise from C-17's and KC-10's were amazing. At first we thought the Army's mortar firing was off course.

  • We get the wake turbilence noises at birmingham international UK, when runay 15 is in use. the aircraft fly on the approach directly over us at like 100 ft, the noises are amazing, and when its a wet day, the vortex which are visable are just amazing.

  • Nice examples. Thanks for the vid. All of the factors that come together to create wing-tip vortices are fascinating. 4 stars.

  • i love this spot at PHL...i go all the time and you can sometimes see the vortices on cloudy days

  • you can clearly hear them thru 1.58 to 2.10 it sounds like jet fighters flying by far way like whooooosh....

  • These planes are a bit small for wake turbulence noise. It is a real phenomenon and has been documented very well. You should consider looking up some scientific journals on Google Scholar.

    As for the red shirt, probably has to do with security.

  • its wake turbulence man, hes just trying to show what it doesn its not a complaint or anything, hes makina video thats all

  • sorry mate, i LOVE the discovery channel, but I sure hope the guy who did this video doesn't get a job for them...

    This video was pointless and completely uninformative... and yes, hes just makin a video...

  • Hey SemperApollo ( or anyone else for that matter ) . If you want to see what a wing tip vortex looks like , watch the end bit of Die Hard 2 when all the planes are landing great one as a plane comes through smoke :D .

  • ugh...i dont understand all this pilot talk wtf?!

  • you are all dumb ( last comments)

  • It is a massive problem at large airports these days, and think of the vortices created by the likes of the A380, although the new winglet designs greatly reduce this.

  • There was also a case in which a wake from the aircraft ahead played a major part in a crash. An Airbus, one of the 300 family had hit the turbulence, the pilot struggled with it and ultimately the vert stab pins sheared causing the vert stab to completely fail. This was largely due to other factors such as, pilot error, airline training and design, but the wake was the catalyst.

  • Yes, the wake caused the pilot to react as he did, but had he not used such FORCEFUL and repeated inputs on the rudder, he would have made it just fine. Sunsequent sim tests showed that the plane could have handled stronger wake forces.

  • True, the pilot was to blame, but apparently they were trained to use the rudder in that way, which was wrong. I am sure the plane could have handled much stronger forces. Was the ultimate failure of the bolts due to fatigue anyway, the pilot just finished them off? I can't remember if the bolts may have been composite...

  • The pilot of this AA flight also thought that the wake turbulence was worsening as the plane started to really violently shift from left to right, not realising that this was actually being caued by his excessive use of the rudder. Airbus actually gave a demonstration of how to correct being caught in wake turbulence on the A300-600R and as far as I remember, only the yoke was used, not the rudder.

  • Thanks, so it was the pilots fault? Funnily enough I have just got off a plane on which we hit some heavy wake turbulence of a 747 10 miles ahead, people were screaming as we dropped but the pilot calmed them all down!

  • i love you !!

  • When conditions are right, (cool temp close to due point, little wind) you can actually see the vortex create a visible "tornado" trailing the wing tips. The first time I saw this, I sat through several landings on the side of the road. They are beautiful and very persistent (some lasting more than a minute).

  • no point

  • tHIS IS STUPID oO

  • you ere stupid ok

  • i cant tell anythin

  • I don't think that's boring, it's very interesting. I've heard that sound from a low-flying plane taking off and I wondered what it was - it's a strange noise if you don't know what it is. Well now I know :)

  • too bad you guys couldn't catch a 747.

  • maybe watching one plane land and experiencing wake turbulence is ok but to stand there and video several then post it on youtube is very boring! check out my flying vid which im sure is more interesting.

  • Wake turbulence is caused by the vortices being shed by an aircraft's wingtips, where the increased air pressure underneath the wing meets the reduced pressure on top. For a large jet these can be powerful enough to turn a following light aircraft completely upside down, and can persist for up to 5 minutes in the right atmospheric conditions!

  • goodd

  • That sounds pretty cool. I bet it's really eerie.

  • nice planes. but what's the point

  • How do I get my 2:11 seconds of wasted life back?

  • Shut the fuck up.

  • Okay people do yourself a favor and READ the description of what the video is about. If your cup of tea isn't aerodynamics, you'll know within 10 seconds.

    And seriously...who would burn a porn mag?

  • and the point was ???

  • Good video.

  • Seems boring to stand there all day and watch planes land.. but that's just me thinking loud :)

  • lol

  • awesome spot for looking at planes good job

  • and your purpose on earth is to post shit videos i guess

  • well that was fun.

  • what is this?

  • weewam1 is a close-minded fool!

  • why?

  • 250100, shut up about this wasting your time. the only thing that is wasting your time is you, watching videos and say that they wasted your time. dont down the guy who made this, it was your decision to watch this video.

    this was a pretty interesting video, i never knew that airplanes can create such things

  • wow, i didn't know what that was thank you....for wasting two minutes and eleven seconds of my time that i'll never get back....

  • It sounded alot like a plane coming in to land tbh

  • ???

  • so? wtf was the point of this? you fag, i bet you are the kinda guy who would burn a hardcore porn mag, and beat off to recordings of plane engines, while having a fan blow full speed in your face huh?

  • lol
