Flying Heavy Metal Episode Two: Jet Set-Part 2 High Quality

but the Boeing had balls! haha

[targatop1]

To answer PanAm Patrick's question - why didn't promising British aircraft achieve more success in the long run - The British aircraft industry had no way of competing with Boeing in terms of manufacturing volume / price per a/c etc, also the Pound / Dollar exchange rate was not in Britains favour in the 1960s. Boeing produce 46 aircraft per week - we produce aircraft in ones and twos - even our really successful Viscount was still low production numbers per month.

the former trident pilot said the trident had poor stall characteristics. ALL T-tail aircraft have poor stall characteristics

[PanAmPatrick]

It does sort of confuse me why did such planes with promising futures like the Vickers VC-10 or the De Havilland Comet or the Hawker Siddeley Trident failed in the long run? They're all quite handsome looking and all (Comet so-so) sucessful with BOAC and other airlines in British territories (Ghana, South Africa, ... the list goes on) but why not in the international markets?

[beeblebroxthe2nd]

Great guy, great program, great band, but why did he waste all that breath on the trident? and not the Wonderfull Super VC-10 next to it.. which was also capable of short runway operation, carried more passnegers, had no power issues, and was and possibly still is the loudest civillain aircraft ever! and the only aircraft to have crossed the atlantic faster than a VC-10 to this day are concordes

whats the music at 5:23?

[ze142]

song from 0:00 to 0:05 anyone now ?

[Narutofan9993]

@ze142 Sounds more like something Psycho Motel or his solo work would produce. I am also curious about what song that is though.

[Tamaslammer]

BEA shot the Trident in the foot. Otherwise an amazing aircraft. It was the first plane that could CAT II autoland and had an analog map displayed inertial navigation system similar to a GPS map, which was accurate to within 50 meters. : )

[dergrossen]

@Tamaslammer wow

[fyldths]

bruce would be great on top gear

[Thorpe741]

Love Maiden, love Bruce. So why is it always like a football match betwixt the USA and Britain.

[123Productionstreet]

@Thorpe741 american football or european football?

[warminator]

The 727 was far more sexier than the Trident.

[MrCoward24]

6:07 but the boeing had BALLS XD lol

[abedkh]

all the fuss was about building planes that could land on shorter runaways, i don't get why they just don't make longer runaways, is it really that expensive? if i sound like a dweeb and don't know what i'm saying then please advise

[ThunderAppeal]

That Trident is a perfect example when government dictates how business should work.  Socialism at its best and it that never gets any better.

[ChocolateyChocobo13]

If i saw bruce while driving down the road, I'd freak, and probably crash. or follow him.

[lorusik1982]

3 hairdryers flying in close formation :D

[dave4shmups]

I LOVE this series! But you can't order it in NTSC! So thanks for putting up this video!

[jetfire5091]

that british plane looks like th 727

[TheMightyHartley]

@jetfire5091 You mean the 727 looks like the Trident. The Trident flew first.

[maiden685]

bruce everywhere

[FernandoEstebanEsteb]

Yeah "Boeing had balls" XD

[blingwatch]

interesting aviation history lesson

thanks bruce for the memories

still love the classic boeing 707

my first ever jet to travel in

[The007bdawg1]

haha 6:07 "but the boeing had balls" UP THE IRONS!!!!

[SimonDolan]

Massive respect for Bruce Dickinson

[arlemberg]

@SimonDolan Dude knows his shit

[baracoc1]

dc-4

[haffutin]

Looks like Douglas DC-6

[DeltaEagle7700]

Quite a slick wing slat that the Boeing 727had. That explained why it was so deep angle!

[CornyFfm]

Comapring the Trident to three hairdryers flying in close formation... this guy is cool.

[sasukesama14142]

Dude he is Bruce Dickinson! How can't he be cool! He rocks! Up the Irons, and Bruce!

[tednugent13]

it wasnt really idiotic. the needed to get what was safest and what worked best.

[simon199418]

the Boeing had balls loooooooooooooooooooooool

[applesweeter]

Dear All,

I have some questions about psychology on aviation:

*Why do we love flying?

*Why do we relate flying with our full potentials and with our successes?

*Why do we use the phases "take off" and "fly high" as a kind of adjectives to describe our success of our hard working?

*Why do we used the word "runway" as a expression of optimistic future of a person/ a team?

*Why do we relate aviation with freedom?

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

[littlebitch231]

the mighty 727....need the 727-300!

[JETZcorp]

Yes! A stretched 727 with new turbofan engines (perhaps CFM56's) and a glass cockpit like the 737NG would be brilliant. As much as I do like the 757, I think that such a 727-300 would be very formidable in that "gigantic narrowbody" niche.

[FrontSideBus]

She was fast too. Cruise speed of around 600mph.

[macsm]

The Trident in retrospect would have been the better choice I believe. Not focusing on short field performance only, market driven results provided a worst solution in the long run (a dirtier airplane). The Trident had the option of being more fuel efficient if it wanted to than the 727, by using te extra engine only when needed....

[CaptBubble]

Good videos, ,ta. My fave airliner is still VC10, power and beauty, lovely to fly and lovely to fly in. Bettered only by Concorde

[NZtegmen]

didnt say, that it also was designed to operate in foggy european conditions, that other aircarft couldn;t operate in.

[westindude]

@ 6:10 ...The Boeing had balls!!!...lol

[Ryanair553]

thank you 4 posting =D
