  • Are these the GE 90 115B engines?

  • @Juliansworld no rolls royce trents, this is american airlines. no american airline uses the -115b only the -94b

  • 23 people asked about the song, ctrl f it

  • Who is the name this song???? Pleace Thanks so much.....Greta video congratulations

  • helloooo

  • So these are A&P's?

  • Best way to enjoy a cup of coffee! :)

  • I am still a fonder of RR Trent 500 used on Airbus A340-600/500 because that was the first big plane I ever took.

  • ahhh haa! this i did not know. i assumed all the maintenance was done at the hangers in DFW

  • I take it that not much is changed over to the new engine. It's takes us much longer to change RR AE 3007's but we're changing fire loops, epmd's, and all the bleed ducts over.

  • this at DFW?

  • @nastypop AFW Alliance Fort Worth headed up I-35 about 20 min north of FW

  • they need to replace their I tire fleet of planes. very outdated interior. I was so uncomfortable when I flew economy.

  • hmm anyone know why the changed it? was it simply too old? broken? anything? or this a regular procedure to replace 15 million dollar engines every hundred or so flight hours?

  • @houshidar558

    They swap them because of maintenance purposes so this engine will be in for maintenance and when that is finished it will be put back into service and replace another engine that needs maintenance done!

  • 777 <3

  • What

  • lol. my dad who works at MIA said that the engine is so big that they have to use the AN-225 to transport the engine to the airport.

  • @yoyoyoyoshua Yes, it's about the same diameter as a 737 fuselage.

  • @kinsley2108 yeah I saw the vid where they compared it to a 737.

  • Do we know why the engine was changed out? Was it scheduled or was there a problem?

  • Hey! My CPU fan makes 6000 turns a minute, faster then the RR engine or the GE90s

  • Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you for sharing that! Very cool!

  • youtube.com/watch?v=S8pNDK1pW2­­o look at our school.

  • was i the only one looking at the lightingin the back round at the start

  • If its not boeing I'm not going. Airbus is a Scare-bus.

  • @101HeyNow stop talking crap

  • epic rain

  • Ludovicio Einaudi - I Believe

  • Nice vid. Very professionally done.

    A six-hour engine -change is very impressive.

    Q.C must have been busting their balls ! LOL

    Kudos.

  • Airbus suck !! eewww french planes..

  • @FTLDL21 Thank you so much i agree 100% i love boeing forever

  • i love the lightning in the background, amazing

  • Why are the engine blades spinning on the spare engine before it is attached? Whats turning them?

  • @jaygibbs84 That's an effect called "windmilling", when just the wind turns the engine. A light to medium (I don't know exactly how fast) wind is enough to make this. Even when the engine is on the wing this may happen.

  • @cskoseki I believe it shows that the engines are perfectly balanced?

  • Boeing planes are true beauty expecially the 737 (to me) the a350 is the only plane i think is true beauty for airbus

  • coffee break at 3:18 :)

  • i wonder why a lot of Rolls-Royce engines like this Trent 800 make a nasty siren noise?

  • Does AA own these engines or is it a "power by the hour" kinda deal?

  • A lot of English airlines haven't declared bankrupcy. We also have a better service on most of our flights e.g Thomson is better than US airlines British airways is better than AA's service

    Another thing why dont people over there think airbusses are safe? They're made in Toullose they're perfectly safe i'd be worried if they were made in shoddy surroundings.

  • I want the old engine so I can attach it to my car.

  • i was wondering about the crappy music coming from bay 5, and bring our cart back!

  • So how much do each one of those cost?

  • Why are the fancowl doors not locked with the test run?

  • @rit130tc Not being an expert on the subject but I would imagine that following a run up it would be necessary to fully inspect the engine for any leaks etc, before calling the job complete.

  • @Darmain0001 2:17< run up.

  • @alex8277  4:17 *

  • whats the name of this song??????

  • nice to see safety and upkeep being a priority! Too many accidents out there could have been prevented by simple upkeep. Fly private jets!!!! LOL

  • It's unbelievable the Antonov 225 has a maximum takeoff weight double of the 777. That's crazy! Gotta love the 225

  • @mine1username and this has exactly what to do with an engine change video?

  • @SporkMan2000 Nothin Sporky!

  • A very professional video. Have AA good experience with the Trents? The Trent 800 is certainly smaller and lighter than the others - so must be easier to change.

  • way aq.gavur icadı :D

  • @alper035 :D

  • why is the new engine spinning ?

  • @weetnietgeen

    They are very free running and well balanced. Any slight breeze will turn the fan.

  • Theres a joke I heard from a commercial Airline Pilot " Whats the fastest way to make a billionaire into a millionaire?- Start an Airline company.

  • @aky19832001 lol :-D

  • @aky19832001 Actually this is an advice issued by Sir Richard Branson himself ;-)

  • @TheAirproxx When this was told to me by the pilot, he said in a more factual mannor in Chicago red carpet lounge. My old man has been with united for nearly 20 years and travels almost every other month, so you can image the miles he has. But The captain was actually introduced to me by my father. I was hoping on getting the tour of the cockpit but the co pilot was in a pissy mood and things were tight.

  • Am i correct to assume that this is Miami, based on the impressive lightening storm?

  • 3300rpm is not the fast. our Mercedes redlines at 6000rpm

  • @bryanb16th yup and yet the jet engine is way more powerful i doubt 2 of your mecedes engines can produce 92,000 pounds of thrust and make a 400,000 pound jet with passangers and fuel take off and still take it to 89% of the speed of sound

  • how awesome. thanks for posting...

  • About 6 hours for an engine change? I thought it would take less time.

    Really nice to watch this. I really miss being an A&P mechanic.

  • Very easy like changing your car's battery eh!

  • Who is the music?

    Please teach.

  • @4471380

    I have also asked me more than a year ago and nobody has ever answered .... :-( this song is beautiful is not it?

  • Looking at those engines sitting there just spinning. it looks so peacefull! but in reality. they are going clack clack clack clack clack. driving u up the walls!

  • @gerry626 Tell me about it! I once worked at an MRO and there was a DA B733 parked outside the hangar. Whenever the breeze blew it would go CLACK-CLACK-CLACK clackety-clack. It was so annoying I finally got a spare electrical cable and tied it around one of the fan blades to stop the fan from spinning.

    Standard procedure calls for a big inlet plug, though.

  • Any airline pilot who is international or few domestic flights have 2 first class seats reserved automatically, but with the 777...they not only get the first class seats, but they get a bunk bed with a private tv..it's the best "seat" on the entire plane besides the left seat in the flight deck. The first class seats turn into beds and have personal DVD players/ tvs for each chair just like international 757s/767s have. The tripple 7 is huge and it really is the best plane in the fleet!

  • wow that is amazing with the lightning in the background at 1:02

  • Care to tell what music was this? impressive replacement, how often does this need to be done?

  • same time to change a car's engine. crazy shit. alot of guys working on it though. wish i could hear them talking... (wrench dropping) fuckin cock sucker can someone grab that for me lol

  • My dad flys these, this is the b777-200 which uses the Rolls Royce engines, but American just bought 2 b777-300 3Rs, which uses the GE engines and is 50 feet longer. In case you didn't know, the crew has their own bunk beds which is pretty sweet.

  • @brandons72vette Oh they do? My dad is just going to training to fly them next month for AA haha but i have heard on some websites that say the pilot just sleeps in a reserved 1st class seat?

  • @brandons72vette correction....its now 3 boeing 777-300er. wish they could get the 777-200LR

  • @brandons72vette correction....its now 3 boeing 777-300er. wish they could get the 777-200LR 

  • @manbal100 no roll royce

  • a yh u got the engine company wrong it is general electrics not rolls royce

  • @mrcable1996 no it is Rolls-Royce because the engine size is smaller than General Electric and the spool-up sound is different and if you look at the front cone the spiral is bigger than that of GE Boeing 77 engines

  • This was a Sorftware

  • what songs did u use?

  • wait dont airplanes have tv on long flights?

  • i have to say on all my flights it is only airbus i have seen people faint and temporarily lose conciousness. I was on a flight on an a330 and a guy temporarily passed out for a split second and couple of others felt funny but the other two were quite elderly. i was really knakcered on an a320 once and after two long flights and lack of sleep at hotel night before i was drifting into sleep on the a320 for short periods and had a large muscle spasm. i wonder about airbus really

  • I absolutely love the Boeing 777s. They are such technological marvels!

  • RR produce 92,000 lbs of thrust each - GE produce 115,000 lbs of thrust each (For the 777)

  • @hello1233280 so that obviously means GE is the better choice

  • @ghettoperson257 yuup.

  • OMG!! My Uncle is in this video? I can't believe it! I'm really proud of you Uncle! We love you!

  • @mariereyes28 who??

    

  • @CaptainFelixTan1 Mr. Angelito Reyes is included in this video. The man with white hair.

  • @mariereyes28 btw whats the name of the music!!

  • Tis is biggest engines ever!

  • @PrinceBV i dont think these are the ge-90's, i think american airlines uses rr's,could be wrong tho

  • @qfour20 trent 800's

  • I don't understand why the engines are turning. They're cut off.

    Can anybody help ?

    Great Video I love the 777-200 most -200LR

  • @Sony1995forever the blades aren't geared to the crankshaft. so when the winds blows it spins the blades. you can even move them by hand if you wanted to !!!

  • @Sony1995forever there windmilled

  • Do AA operate out of Dallas Ft. Worth and United Airlines operate from JFK?

  • AA has their major hubs at DFW/JFK/LAX/MIA/ORD with focus cities at SJU/BOS/LGA. UA's hubs are at DEN/SFO/ORD/LAX/NRT/IAD. Of course, this is about to change with the merge with CO. Note that hub airports are not always indicative of major maintenance bases as with UA at IAD. AA completes much of its 767 and 777 maintenace at Ft. Worth's Alliance Airport (not served by the airlines). AA closed in September 2010 its once famous mx base at MCI acquired when it acquired TWA's assets.

  • and the lightning makes it a very cool setting to change an engine. All I can say is aviation porn!

  • the music makes it so Epic.

  • Comment removed

  • Pretty good vid but some of the stats are wrong. Most aircraft burn a quarter of their fuel on take off and all the way up to cruise altitude. Also the price of the engines is more or less 25 million. To change only one fan blade would cost $250,000.

  • This is speechless! Real turn-on!

  • Yuck. American Airlines. They might as well replace the whole plane lol. I like Boeing, but AA is awful.

  • @formber get out of here AA hater... if AA was awful they wouldn't be one of the most successful airlines out here right now and they wouldn't be one of the only airlines that avoided Bankruptcy while everyone else had to declare it.

  • @igneousrocklad I was not saying they weren't successful, I just have to say, personally, any AA plane I've ridden on has been a rickety old P.O.S. Whereas on other airlines I get more legroom and a plane I feel safe riding in.

  • @formber You think AA has old planes.... the oldest planes they have are the MD-80's and the 762's... other than that there fleet isn't that old and besides that AA has some of the most well maintained plane fleets in the world... Other airlines get AA to do maintanence for their planes... that says alot about them.... regardless everyone is entitled to their opinion.... my whole thing is just let your opinion be an educated one... lol

  • @igneousrocklad They avoided it because of their pilots who was willing to take shit contracts to keep the company alive. I know a FO who has been with AA and is still a Junior MD-80 FO. Just sayin... I have nothing against them though. I heard they are currently recalling their Furloughs.

  • @igneousrocklad maybe, but because of AA avoiding bankruptcy, they also doomed themselves to failure. They don't make money off of their flights, and are in a very bad economic situation right now. AA needs to shape up soon, or else they'll be gone

  • @mantodowhattodo I recently flew the most tired, dirty AA 757 with video screens that looked like big TVs. Interior was like an old, musty hotel. Must have been one of theirs from 1989 still in service. It was horrible.

  • @bagrat22 Yeah, they don't even own the majority of their fleet right now. Their only real money maker, which SHOULD be the MD's, aren't making money because they are on lease! They are in so much debt that they can't replace the product that they put on the planes years ago, so people are reluctant to fly with them. I truly hope that AA doesn't go under, they're one of the last great American airlines... but the execs REALLY need to shape up their business strategy.

  • @mantodowhattodo well said. it's why i fly continental, but the merge with united scares me. i was so turned off by the condition of AA's plane.

  • @bagrat22 agreed. The main airlines I used to fly were Continental, Delta, and Southwest but I doubt I'll be giving any business to United even after their merge with CO

  • @igneousrocklad no airline is doing good!!!! Its the worst sector to be in right now!

  • @igneousrocklad Financially, they aren't doing very well right now.

  • @maxudaskin and is any other airline in the best position possible right now either. No. Every airline has its ups and downs, and i admit AA would be alot better off without Arpey and his brand of cost saving tips.

  • @igneousrocklad

    I'm not an AA hater....but AA is badly managed and is in too serious debt to stay afloat... even worse yet by their EXTANT placement of new jet orders from Boeing and Airbus...which they cant afford to pay for. The airlines' exectutives can't blame high fuel prices for their dire situation. I avoid United, AirFrance, and AA mainly because their planes are always dirty and the service is so seeming perfunctory when Union dogma takes precedence over just service.

  • Pretty quick motor change for AFW. Not GE's ...Rolls Royce Trent 800

  • @manbal100

    Look again........

  • Comment removed

  • @manbal100 no.

  • Love the Texas T storm in the background. Hats off to my fellow AAers. This is a part of the company I seldom get to see. These guys are true professionals.

  • This beautiful video but the song in the background as it called?

  • Do they get rebulit after there replaced and put back on another 777

  • @iloveunitedairliness Could be or done for and used for scrap!

  • I used to be the kind of guy who liked to think you could build things without the use of technology and electrical machinery but now i realize it's essential for high tech stuff like aircraft and mass production. THe chances of building a jet engine without modern technology machinery would be near impossible even with combined man power to haul the huge weight

  • Free energy has been here all along ,But there are very powerfull forces that want to supress the technology,Find a motor that needs no fuel or input at LT-MAGNET-MOTORdotCOM ,Start the revolution!

  • 15,000 lbs each! I wonder how they don't fall off the wings...must be really STRONG wings

  • @WanderingProphet you dont even know....

  • FIX THE BLOODY ASPECT RATIO YOU WENK!

  • i've seen same vis on HAWK-EYE MEDIA.I cant believe, what music can do with the same vid !!

    Man, difference is great.You have talent. Nice video and you just drain brilliant piece of music there.

    Thanks

  • one thing sucks is that AA cant afford GE90 i love ge90's they might be powerful engines to 777!

  • What is the title of this music?

  • @Eric36h yeah that beat is very nice.

  • very much.... Good

  • Awesome video, thank you for posting this! ...And check out that thunderstorm at the beginning of the video!

  • This was just an awesome vid! Good job, mate!

  • Really great video!!! What's the composer's name  of the soundtrack?

  • wow in sofia (bulgaria) last week 777 El Al land emergency with the same broken engine (right). Good video, what is the second song? :?

  • 3:44 Tow truck comes in 'dammit im late'

  • Are the rates per engine or per plane?

  • I like it...

  • Nice

  • amazing mate.

    Great great vid, thank you for shareing!

    cheers, dom

  • wow! this a really cool. i love planes so much and its cool to see what they do when they change engines and also they had some extra light from the lightning!

  • What MRO is this?

  • 6 Hours? does that include paperwork?

  • Sweet Video!

    I must say, I download your video, as mp3, just to get the music, lol....

    But really, cool video, I wonder, do you work as a mechanic? Cause no one has accent to get there, unless u work there, cause my father in law is a mechanic too.

    I ask him if they let me to see you guys, and he said: "They dont allow anybody to be here, period".

  • Awesome video. The 777 is one of my fave planes.

  • why were they changing the engine in the first place??.. I heard they had some problems with this engine at first

  • excellent ! thanks for posting

  • the plane taxied with only one engine on

  • EpiDemic117 IS A NARK!!!

  • Thanks for posting.

  • Ha ha Tulsa no this is at AFW were they are the 777 wizards.

  • I love the lighting in the background.

  • what is the name of this music at 0:50 ?

  • This is a question for you math wizzes or engineers.

    If one engine produces 92,000 lbs of thrust that means that both engines are producing 184,000 lbs of thrust at take off. What would that be in horsepower?

  • If you want a job being a jet engine machanic some of the best training you can get is in the Navy. You spend 20 years in the Navy, retire, and then come out and go to work for the airlines and make a bundle.

  • @IngloriusBastard11 ....Horsepower it a function of speed. (ie: RPM times torque) Thrust is merely a force. Without speed (motion) there is no horsepower. A large boulder resting on the ground mitght exert 1-Million pounds of force (thrust) against the ground....but it is producing ZERO horsepower.

    There is ZERO horsepower produced untill the airplane moves. Then, the faster it goes, the more horsepower is actually produced.

  • Is that $15-Million for just one engine??

  • @JGMagoo Correct, the GE90 however is $21 Million US Dollars.
