  • Good old days at SIUC ATEC. The 737 in this film is 737-222 with JT8D low-bypass TF. We ran the engines & taxied the plane around.

    A320 is a wide-body aircraft; two isles.

    787 is a revolutionary airplane with primary structure made with composite so the cabin can be humidified. The window shade is electronically controlled....

    ...only if it actually comes out. The launch customer, ANA, is quite upset with delayed delivery.

  • @JPN850R --- A320 is not a widebody aircraft with 2 aisles... It seems like you know quite a bit, so I am going to guess this was a typo, yes?

  • @JMG717

    You're right, I must have confused it with A330, haha.

    I was one of the best students at SIUC Avtech (Class of 2005), but I've been stuck as a line tech in Japan and I now know a lot less about airplanes than I used to. I wanted to work in a hangar but in Japan it is not possible due to discrimination.

    Thanks for the correction.

  • que bien suena cuando le inyectan combustible!!!

  • A320 i better it has fly by wire technology. 737 is an old rusted aircraft of late 60s and 70s.

  • The Next Gen 737's aren't even 5 years old;)

  • 747-8 is a cheap and boring replacement of the for the classic 747-400 series in my mind's eye. Boeing did not want to invest in an all new 747 replacement as it was seen as too risky a buisness venture. I applaud Airbus once again for taking the risk and pushing the envelope in terms of innovation and design technologies. I think Airbus have pushed aviation 20 years into the future whereas Boeing is still tinkering with a 1960s 747 design.

  • Also 737 is nothing but rusted aircraft once again of the 60s.American junk. Look at the British as well who made the Concorde world's fastest passenger plane on earth. British rules. Uptill now Boeing hasn't made fastes passenger plane as yet. Still making remixes of the junky 60s and 70s. People want to see something new which they haven't seen.

  • No because they are more interested in what airlines want;) they don't want to fly faster than sound just because it is possible, they want to fly consuming as little fuel as possible, getting past the sound barrier and maintain a speed at that mach number requires an awful lot of fuel, ticket prices would skyrocket. The 787 is innovative enough and it is fuel efficient

  • A380 will make air tarvel much better than it is currently because a full A380 makes more mony than any other airliner that is currently in service. An A380 series starts making profit at 65% full capacity.

  • yes but airliners are more interested in getting people to their destination without to much stops, an A380 isn't able to land everywhere so the passengers need to get transfered to their destination, an 787 get's people where they want to go without transfers and is much more efficient than an a380

  • there is a big difference from efficiency and consumption

  • the -100/-200 is. ur wrong though. the 737 is most commonly used. it changed aviation. it a medium capacity narrow body medium range aircraft. the A320 is not a narrow body, its quite large. and nobody say anything bout fuel efficiency! the FF on the A320 and 737 is the same!

  • the a320 is a narrow body

  • GO SALUKIS !!!

  • Ya know, you could ditch the first 1:10 of this video, and I don't think anyone would be offended. I've heard wind blowing in microphones plenty of times...

    Cool once it gets going though; I love the sound of a jet engine. Of course, it'll never sound as good as a Merlin V-12 or radial, but that doesn't matter; I'm not picky about these things.

  • 737-200 with p&w jt8s

  • Is than an old 737??

  • Ya really old

  • yeah, 737-200 the first ones in the 737 family

  • Apart from the 737-100

  • I grew up working on these motors at Scott AFB, the C-9A's (DC-9 30 series) had JT8D-9A engines on them. I miss that sound...

  • @incognitowun I know what you mean I miss this work a lot, I was a A&P for six years miss the smell of skydrol and the sheetmetal work.

  • 737-200

  • Excellent. Nothing better.

  • 7's sound awesome!!

  • That is out of this world fantastic.

  • Beautiful sound...the JT8D was a work of art :D

  • Good to see N9009U. I've spent a lot of time on this a\c. I regret not having a collection of videos from A&P school to share with youtube.

  • Would be thrilled to see more videos like this of the JT8D - especially like this without hush kits. Video tip - stay focused on the engine and you will want to use a good video camera. Distortion gets poor due to sound frequency. Would be nice to hear start, like you did, but also shut down. The JT8D-7 is a wonderful engine - noisy - but wonderful. The jet age.

  • really, that's an early version of the aircraft's engines? I was about to say that wasn't a 737 at all.

  • I grew up listening to those engines. RAM jet unlike modern turbo fan engines.

  • its a turbojet. Not a RAM jet. wikipedia the terms. Modern engines tend to be turbo fans which is a turbo jet with an additional larger fan up front. Some of the cold air pushed by said fan bypasses the main turbojet while some is sucked through

  • the JT8 series of engines have a by-pass duct just the same as modern engines. it is however much smaller than the newer generation of engines. i think, from memory the bypass ratio of a JT8D is bout 4 or 5 to 1 where as say newer engines like PW4000, CF-6, CFM-56, GE-90 or RR trent series are more like 8 or 9 to 1. it makes them much more fuel efficient and actually produces much more thrust (its a bit more complicated than that) if im wrong, please let me know, dont wanna spread false info

  • Nice sound! I sure hope this aicraft will be looked after and preserved, being one of the very early 'basic' 737-200s, (24th one ever built, in May 1968) with early P&W JT8D-7 engines complete with inlet air intakes. Possibly the only one still about fully intact. Too many seem to go to institutes, only to be scrapped later or just the nose preserved.

  • thanks crod
