next time if your stressed a day before a long flight and the weather is windy.... make sure you stay in the plane lavatory just in case you need to... plop diahra......
Now this is really a video with severe turbulence. Look at that massive 747 wing flexing! I can tell you this much with that much flexing going on it was a really bumpy ride for sure! Just think that flexing is nothing compared to just how much positive and negative flex the wing can actually withstand. Awesome!
Turbulence is nothing to be afraid about. Just picture yourself in the cockpit during turbulence, it can't hurt you. It'll shake the plane around but it's not going to rip and engine off or anything. Modern safety standards on aircraft are strict.
This is NOT severe turbulence ! Scare mongering is not helpful. The wing is oscillating well within tolerances. They have been designed to do this. If the wings were 'rigid' per se; the aircraft would suffer catastrophic structural failure.
If you were experiencing severe turbulence, you can be assured that you wouldn't be holding your nice video camera in such a stable position. Indeed, you'd most likely be bouncing around in your seat - thankful for restraint from your seat belt !!
They're designed to bend, it increases resistance to breaking. Check out a video of Boeing testing a 777 wing, it gets to 60 degrees bend from memory before breaking.
@scorpgc trolls or self trained experts. the 9/11 videos lol. and these types of videos are full of them. i usually check their profiles and see what they havent uploaded.
this is NORMAL turbulence!!!...severe is when the plain drops and rocks from side to side...ive experienced that once and after that nothing can compare or even warrants me worrying...lol...and i fly alot!
A man and a woman are sitting on the same row. As they encounter turbulence like the video, the man looking out becomes more and more worried. The woman notices and says "sir no need to worry, I fly all the time, this is normal" the man looks back even more scared and says " Mam I work for Boeing and we did not design the wing to do what its doing right now " ;)
Why don't you study the internet for turbulence classification? I just wanna see screaming people and cracking bones, when I type word "heavy" to the search.;D Good video though.
(Severe: Occupants are forced violently against seat belts or shoulder straps.
Unsecured objects are tossed about. Food Service and walking are impossible)
While I agree that turbulence is unnerving to most fliers, it kinda peeves me when people say "severe turbulence" or "almost crashed" or "we dropped hundreds of feet" when it reality, it was moderate turbulence at best, no risk of crashing and during even bad turbulence, your altitude rarely flucuates more than 10-20 ft.

@Farmerpilot13 Microbursts and other vertical and horizontal shear events are, by definition, turbulence, Turbulence has been the cause or a contributing factor in many crashes. Most notably BOAC 911 which suffered an in flight breakup just after departing Tokyo.
@bassbonebobo however most pilots don't use turbulence to describe those events......... i should have been more specific and said that turbulence in cruse hasn't caused a crash. if you include vert and horz shear events into the turbulence arena then yes they have caused crashes.
@Farmerpilot13 You have to include them because they are, by definition, turbulence. A shear is any sudden change in the direction and/or velocity of a fluid. BOAC 911 disintegrated in cruise as a result of extreme mountain wave turbulence.
@bassbonebobo Yeah but it wasnt in normal cruising altitude, it was flying in 16 000 ft to show pax some nice views of mount fuji... It was 707 anyways, I think that modern jets can stand even extreme turbulence better.
@Farmerpilot13 i had a dwn draft last year on a 737-700w coming into billings while it was pitch black out ( cuz it was dark :p ) with a heavy snowstorm with 45+mph winds,... it was scary as hell!!! we fell fer like a whole second and if u think about that... that's a long time!!!!! i was glad everything worked out though
You know, turbelence at cruising attitude sucks. Just when your about to relax or read a book or what, that shitty turbelence begins, so annoying. Especially at 38.000 feet.
Those wings will deflect up to 25 feet vertically before failure, at least in structural testing. The wing is put in a huge jig which slowly pulls up on the outer portion of the wing until failure. Theres videos of it here.
Well, I also have seen worse turbulence when flying through a thunderstorm, but that is diffucult to judge just from one video and not feeling the ups and downs. If the pilot says so, I believe it ;)
Want to see severe turbulence? Dive straight into a Cumulonimbus cloud(thunderstorm cloud). Then you're going to see hail moving at about 400Km/h, and the plane being pushed up and down by the air currents at a rate of thousands of feet. Then you'll see anything that's not tied down bounce between the floor or the ceiling, that may include the flight attendants. And if you get out of it alive(which is pretty rare), you may say "boy, that was some severe turbulence right there!"
that's really not that rough of turbulence i have been through a lot worse. this is just another flight with a few bumps along the way to its destination

@88jadu Air France. It's a regular direct flight going from Montreal (YUL) to Paris (CDG). The same airplane makes the reverse trip as AF344. Just one detail: Maybe it was different in 2008 but now AF345 is a Boeing 777-300ER. There are 3 Air France planes making the direct trip between these 2 cities: AF344-AF345, AF346-AF347 (Airbus 380-800) and AF348-AF349 (B747-400). I took AF349 and AF344 last week (may 20th to may 28th) for a week in Paris and both flights were very pleasant.
read latest news on air france atlantic crash,...airplane crashed stalled after encountering turb,airspeed variations from 275 to 60 knots!!!....at aviation herald site, technical terms language....
The turbulence looked somewhat severe at the beginning of the film, but calmed down towards the middle and end. To my understanding, turbulence doesn't last that long and generally feels worse than it actually is.
An aircraft entering cold air that has no vertical motion will climb due to the increased density of the air. We pilots like cool, dry air because it's dense and provides more lift. Entering warm air that has no vertical motion means less dense air, and the plane will descend. Air does not always have vertical motion, even if there are two air masses next to each other if the masses are not moving.
@earth40000 yes there are. Rarefied air isn't the same temperature and density all over. There are "pockets" of differing density and temperature. Especially over very hot or very cold areas. So the plane may be able stay aloft in one section. But, when they fly from that area to another area where the air is colder the plane will drop a little. if it's hotter air the plane will rise Why do people on youtube like to make assumptions when they have no idea what they are talking about?

@TheVideoMaker2011 you're full of shit. If the wings were built to not flex then they'd snap off. They are designed to flex about 6' in each direction.
Ummm... that is standard wing flex and not even close to a mild turbulence. I was on a flight where we hit an air pocket and dropped over 200+ feet and all of us came up out of our seats... hit our heads on the over head compartments and then were tossed back into our seats like rag dolls... and it wasn't even classified as Severe Turbulence.
"I was on a flight where we hit an air pocket and dropped over 200+ feet and all of us came up out of our seats.."
And I was on a flight that dropped 12,000 ft almost instantaneously. One moment we are climbing through the clouds when turbulence hits, the next the plane is going east on I-90.
I flew from UK to US in 1987 through the most turbulant flight even the air crew had encountered - on my return to the UK it transpired that the storm we flew through was the one that caused the hurricaine in the UK. I've had no fear of turbulance since - nothing has ever come close to that experience!
@TheVidsbids2012 No, not really. There is a possibility, but not during flight. The engine are installed with fusible bolts that are designed to break if the aircraft lands on it's belly, so the engines come loose instead of the entire aircraft breaking apart. In other words, that is a safety feature. Engines coming of in flight is very very rare ( can only recall one event), and doesen't necessarily proposa a threat to the aircraft.
@gpzb2 lolol this is not severe turb, maybe for a cessna, im a weather forecaster and day in and day out forecast briefings for pilots, severe turb would rip that damn wings off an aircraft not to mention this is probably a cat III aircraft which means it cant handle more so this is probably lgt ocnl mod or just straight mod, soo maybe you should check yourself before you wreck yourself lolol
@pandemicgamer severe turbulence would not rip the a/c apart, if you had a modicum of common sense, you would actually realise that the wings of a b744 can flex up to around 16ft before they damage, fair enough you may over-stress some parts but it wouldnt exactly rip the a/c apart!!
@gpzb2 Blah Blah I fly one or two times in a year and still ive exprienced worse than this 2 times during last 5 years. One was when flying back from Thailand to Finland, some moderate turbulence over India that really felt worse than this. This year during domestic flight with small ATR-42 I exprienced much worse right before landing, was really pretty shaky, hard to tell how much as it was night.

To ease anyones mind, "Open Air Pockets" don't exist, it's a myth. That would be like saying the sea has a hole in it. Severe turbulence can make an aircraft lose/gain altitude rapidly which can feel like you've fallen down a hole, which I guess is where the myth came from. As uncomfortable as it is, you are perfectly safe as long as you're strapped in.
@nickhornell thats nothing!! I remember when i was on a plane in severe turbulance when both wings snapped off and all the windows blew out, the pilots blacked out so i ran up to the cockpit and took over, needless to say i managed to bring it down with a textbook landing!!! Hahaha
I often fly through these high zones (30000ft), When it is around sunset or sunrise, the atmosphere over this area is getting wet and turbulent : nice sensations! However, the wings can bend over to 45 degrees, so don't be afraid and just enjoy the sensations on board!
Ehm, "GREAT" video. :) I HATE turbolences (is it the correct definition?)...but who loves them? I'm scared - yes, scared is the right term - when I see the wings flaping and bending: I'm a fan of airplanes and technology but this effect scares me to death. A question: how much a wing can bend in degrees? I read it can bend up to 60°, is this correct?
Light: slight changes to attitude and/or altitude
Moderate: variations in speed, attitude and altitude occur but the aircraft is remains in control
Severe: large changes and variation of speed, attitude and altitude. There may be period where control of the aircraft is impossible. Damage of aircraft structure may occur.
Extreme: prolonged expose can lead to loss of control and is capable of damaging the aircraft.
Severe turbulence: I have experienced severe turbulence only once. The conditions were such that even though the crew (no passengers) were TIGHTLY belted in, our heads hit and were cut and bruised by the overhead aircraft structure and that was a good 18-20 centimetres above us. In addition, the airframe flexed to the point that one of the baggage doors opened and was destroyed. Any turbulence that you can aim and operate a camera through is hardly more than light chop.
The flexing actually lets the structure handle alot more stress than if it were rigid. For example the wingtips on a b52 can travel plus minus 15 feet in a normal flight.
I'm really afraid to fly because of turbulence. My mother, who's flown and isn't afraid of much of ANYthing, told me "It's okay, it's like a roller coaster." "I HATE ROLLER COASTERS!!!" was my reply. D:
Pilot says "PNC assis, attachés ; turbulences". Which means "flight attendants must seat and fasten seat belts". They only say that when turbulences are severe.
Not severe turbulence?? To the average flier, looking out their window and seeing the wing flucuate up and down a few degrees is enough to start thinking about shitting their pants! haha.
Most passengers report turbulence higher than what it really is. Light becomes moderate, moderate becomes severe. The airframe can take much more than the passenger. A good way of looking at it is if you still care about your safety, the airframe is in no danger. i.e. by the time the airframe is in danger, you will have stopped caring.
AFA the 90 degree bank, with proper coordination, a pilot can roll through 360 deg. with 1g loading. Search "Tex Johnston"
Moderate turbulence is similar to light turbulence, but of greater intensity - variations in speed as well as altitude and attitude may occur but the aircraft remains in control all the time.
Severe turbulence is characterised by large, abrupt changes in attitude and altitude with large variations in airspeed. There may be brief periods where effective control of the aircraft is impossible. Loose objects may move around the cabin and damage to aircraft structures may occur.
oh wow iv was a flight attendant an once the plane was flipped 180 degrees and people were sat on the ceiling by time pilot got it back under his drivability one of the windows smashed cos of the gravity forces stressed the plane nearly snapped the wing off every one was lucky lol
@1967beatlesfan trainee pilot ? can you tell me how to connect autopilot navi and the instrumental landing system ? with kind regards , waiting for your message !
@1967beatlesfan That is completely incorrect. That sentence tells many that you are definitely not any kind of an experienced pilot. What you described is categorized as "Extreme" Turbulence.
@hifijohn yea it is. for some reason some people want to believe that there is this mythical "air pocket" where air doesnt exist or some shit like that so the aircraft drops. i really dont know what the hell people think an air pocket is but its not real. turbulence is caused by rapidly changing weather.
the only thing scary about a airpane is the turbulence AND during turbulence when the wing starts going up and down i freakin shit my pants when that happens!
Oh please... this is mild Turbulence. I've been a flight attendant for 12 years...... If you hit an open air pocket, drop 20 feet, where everything hits the ceiling, people, food carts, etc.. thats only classed as moderate turbulence. I was on a flight over the strait of India where the aircraft was thrown into a 90 degree bank,, 14 passengers had severe injuries, and I broke my collarbone... even that was only classed as moderate turbulence.
@nickhornell Please remind me to never fly over the strait of India...haha. I just flew from Rome two days ago and we had some pretty bad turbulence, bad enough that the pilots had the flight attendants sit down and whatnot. We weren't thrown into a bank, but we did have some scary drops.
That's nothing... Try a cross-wind landing with 35 to 45 mph gusts.

Air does not always have vertical motion, even if there are two air masses next to each other if the masses are not moving.

@earth40000 yes there are. Rarefied air isn't the same temperature and density all over. There are "pockets" of differing density and temperature. Especially over very hot or very cold areas. So the plane may be able stay aloft in one section. But, when they fly from that area to another area where the air is colder the plane will drop a little. if it's hotter air the plane will rise Why do people on youtube like to make assumptions when they have no idea what they are talking about?

A man and a woman are sitting next to each other on a trans-atlantic flight in a Boeing 747-400. The aircraft encounters severe turbulence and the man, looking out the window at the wing bouncing around, gradually looks more and more worried.
The woman, noticing, says "Don't worry, I'm a flight attendant and this is perfectly normal."
He replies "Miss, I'm a Boeing engineer and we didn't design the wing to do what it's doing right now."

@TheVideoMaker2011 you're full of shit. If the wings were built to not flex then they'd snap off. They are designed to flex about 6' in each direction.
Nice try for a scary story though.

Ummm... that is standard wing flex and not even close to a mild turbulence. I was on a flight where we hit an air pocket and dropped over 200+ feet and all of us came up out of our seats... hit our heads on the over head compartments and then were tossed back into our seats like rag dolls... and it wasn't even classified as Severe Turbulence.

And I was on a flight that dropped 12,000 ft almost instantaneously. One moment we are climbing through the clouds when turbulence hits, the next the plane is going east on I-90.

I flew from UK to US in 1987 through the most turbulant flight even the air crew had encountered - on my return to the UK it transpired that the storm we flew through was the one that caused the hurricaine in the UK. I've had no fear of turbulance since - nothing has ever come close to that experience!

@TheVidsbids2012 not very likely
MrNevanpaul 8 months ago
@TheVidsbids2012 No, not really. There is a possibility, but not during flight. The engine are installed with fusible bolts that are designed to break if the aircraft lands on it's belly, so the engines come loose instead of the entire aircraft breaking apart. In other words, that is a safety feature. Engines coming of in flight is very very rare ( can only recall one event), and doesen't necessarily proposa a threat to the aircraft.

@pandemicgamer severe turbulence would not rip the a/c apart, if you had a modicum of common sense, you would actually realise that the wings of a b744 can flex up to around 16ft before they damage, fair enough you may over-stress some parts but it wouldnt exactly rip the a/c apart!!

To ease anyones mind, "Open Air Pockets" don't exist, it's a myth. That would be like saying the sea has a hole in it. Severe turbulence can make an aircraft lose/gain altitude rapidly which can feel like you've fallen down a hole, which I guess is where the myth came from. As uncomfortable as it is, you are perfectly safe as long as you're strapped in.

I often fly through these high zones (30000ft), When it is around sunset or sunrise, the atmosphere over this area is getting wet and turbulent : nice sensations! However, the wings can bend over to 45 degrees, so don't be afraid and just enjoy the sensations on board!
Fly in peace.
Kidkillman 10 months ago
Ehm, "GREAT" video. :) I HATE turbolences (is it the correct definition?)...but who loves them? I'm scared - yes, scared is the right term - when I see the wings flaping and bending: I'm a fan of airplanes and technology but this effect scares me to death. A question: how much a wing can bend in degrees? I read it can bend up to 60°, is this correct?
m0ralizzatore 10 months ago
FYI;
Light: slight changes to attitude and/or altitude
Moderate: variations in speed, attitude and altitude occur but the aircraft is remains in control
Severe: large changes and variation of speed, attitude and altitude. There may be period where control of the aircraft is impossible. Damage of aircraft structure may occur.
Extreme: prolonged expose can lead to loss of control and is capable of damaging the aircraft.
schlusselmensch 10 months ago
Severe turbulence: I have experienced severe turbulence only once. The conditions were such that even though the crew (no passengers) were TIGHTLY belted in, our heads hit and were cut and bruised by the overhead aircraft structure and that was a good 18-20 centimetres above us. In addition, the airframe flexed to the point that one of the baggage doors opened and was destroyed. Any turbulence that you can aim and operate a camera through is hardly more than light chop.
schlusselmensch 10 months ago
The flexing actually lets the structure handle alot more stress than if it were rigid. For example the wingtips on a b52 can travel plus minus 15 feet in a normal flight.

Pilot says "PNC assis, attachés ; turbulences". Which means "flight attendants must seat and fasten seat belts". They only say that when turbulences are severe.

Not severe turbulence?? To the average flier, looking out their window and seeing the wing flucuate up and down a few degrees is enough to start thinking about shitting their pants! haha.
6heartbreakkid9 10 months ago
Most passengers report turbulence higher than what it really is. Light becomes moderate, moderate becomes severe. The airframe can take much more than the passenger. A good way of looking at it is if you still care about your safety, the airframe is in no danger. i.e. by the time the airframe is in danger, you will have stopped caring.
AFA the 90 degree bank, with proper coordination, a pilot can roll through 360 deg. with 1g loading. Search "Tex Johnston"
johnnyspin 10 months ago
Moderate turbulence is similar to light turbulence, but of greater intensity - variations in speed as well as altitude and attitude may occur but the aircraft remains in control all the time.
Severe turbulence is characterised by large, abrupt changes in attitude and altitude with large variations in airspeed. There may be brief periods where effective control of the aircraft is impossible. Loose objects may move around the cabin and damage to aircraft structures may occur.

Oh please... this is mild Turbulence. I've been a flight attendant for 12 years...... If you hit an open air pocket, drop 20 feet, where everything hits the ceiling, people, food carts, etc.. thats only classed as moderate turbulence. I was on a flight over the strait of India where the aircraft was thrown into a 90 degree bank,, 14 passengers had severe injuries, and I broke my collarbone... even that was only classed as moderate turbulence.

@nickhornell Please remind me to never fly over the strait of India...haha. I just flew from Rome two days ago and we had some pretty bad turbulence, bad enough that the pilots had the flight attendants sit down and whatnot. We weren't thrown into a bank, but we did have some scary drops.
