  • Can someone explain 2 me why it looks like its moving so so slow ? 

  • @Ryanair112 optical illusion.

  • GE90-115B, rated at 115,000 pounds of thrust, designed specifically for B777-300ER. The most powerful aircraft engine ever built. Magnificent piece of engineering

  • The Monster Wakes Up!

  • Starts and runs as clean as a whistle, who can remember a Pratt & Whitney JT3D from a 707 starting and running!!

  • is that engine capable of making justin bieber smoothie? =D

  • @SoulThrive Yes, but no one will do us the favor and throw him in....

  • @JonaLB752fan damn!

  • ME GUSTA

  • im waiting for the camera person to get sucked into the engine...still waiting..

  • LOOK AT THE BLADES ON THAT BITCH

  • LOL@FrancisGage29

    

  • badest engine period.. and the nicest airliner period...airbus what!!!!!!

  • Eargasm.

  • I wish i can jump in there @ 0:49....... :)

  • id like to strap that to my bicycle

  • I like how the blades look like they stop LOL

  • put ur hand in

  • Why the fuck are you hanging out of the plane?

  • It's fun to read how stupid some people are :D:D:D

  • Ww.. this engine plays the beauty.

  • if its not GE i aint going

  • Pure Genius whoever invented the GE90

  • anyone notice that the blades look straight when start up

  • its funny its starting up but stalling at the same time...

  • trippy

  • why do we see the engine like going backward and forward? it also happens with cars rims...just curiousity,if anyone knows...

  • @zougla06 It has to do with the shutter of the camera.

  • @zougla06 Also, even with the naked eye, we only can see things in motion at split seconds, so, the brain takes many still images per second and puts it together...for example, when you blink as you pass a fence you can see a "still image" of the fence. Same with car rims; the human eye cannot keep up with such fast moving objects...helicopter blades, fans, etc... :)

  • @peelout40 That's just plain wrong, this is not how human vision works at all.

    Fast rotating objects just become blurred to the naked eye and result in a transparent disc-like appearance. Apparently static/slow moving patterns from fast rotating objects in videos are caused by the interference between the rotation frequency and the shutter frequency of the filming medium.

    If you want to test this, don't use a light source with an inert frequency, daylight works without problems though.

  • why do i love this shit

  • These engines are so loud when starting, it's like an earthquake ^^ !!!

  • chuck norris hairdryer

  • you're getting sleepy.....very sleepy...

  • GE produces the engine and mounts as well as provides the engine controls.

    Boeing provides replacement parts for the service life of the aircraft.

  • Is this one of those high by-pass turbo fan type engines?

  • I wonder if the boeing makes and designs the engine cowlings/compartment of if the engine manufacture is responsible for that entire peice?

  • Is looking at this engine the first time you ever noticed a spinning object appear to change direction?

  • It sometimes looks like the blades are spinning backwards.... Is that just an optical illusion?? Anybody?

  • @jkr2680 Yes, it's called the wagon-wheel effect. Think about how a video camera works or google wagon-wheel effect to find out how it happens. Tip, it works really well with jet engines because they have so many blades.

  • @jkr2680

    Its not an optical illusion, the fan blades do spin both ways....believe me, i work with aircraft

  • @TheAnsarias Haha, you obviously don't know how an airplane engine works. At least you're funny!

  • Comment removed

  • @FrancisGage29

    k, whatever. Read the comment I wrote to the other dude. :D

  • @FrancisGage29

    btw I have never worked with aircraft in my life..but still know it doesnt spin both ways...you can tell by looking at the centercone ;)

    I just love pissing people off :)

  • @TheAnsarias My bad, I thought you were stupid, but actually you're just a troll !

  • @FrancisGage29

    LOL...Exactly....

  • @TheAnsarias Sorry but you are wrong. The fan is driven by the LPT and turns in ONE direction.

  • @PilatusPorterPC6

    read all the rest of my comments and replies..... i know it doesnt spin in 2 directions.....i was bored so i wanted to see how many people i could annoy

  • @TheAnsarias Oh ok Sorry..............

  • On my working place on Frankfurt Airport =)

  • dare you to put your hand in it lol

  • Listen to the beauty of GE90 with 127,950 pounds of thrust per. Now I have to say, that's pretty powerful for an engine to be mounted only on one aircraft though

  • @ArtStudio101 The A380 engines is less powerful than the 777

  • @ArtStudio1 The engines of the 777 are more powerful than the A380

  • @Aviation2001 The GE engines have to be more powerful, they have a lower bypass with a lower compressor PR and blunt LE's on the fan blades. The A380 engines are built for efficiency not power.

  • this engine has so much power that the airframe probably couldn't take max power. it could carry many many many people he he ;). we should put these on the C-5 lol that would be very beneficial...GE makes good engines all I hear is good things.

  • How poorly crying.

  • "Captain, keep your hands on the control column. We're paying you to fly the plane, not stick it out the window holding a camera!"

  • got me dizzy

    

  • Anthony's Weiner.

    Barney's Frank.

    Felix's Frankfurter.

    .

  • I feel sorry for the pavement behind this engine.

  • the purpose of that cone is to let people the jet is operating so you wont get trick by the blade that looks like it is stop moving.

  • Amazing :)))) it should be longer.

  • Cool strobe effect with the fan blades. 

  • thats fucking trippy

  • made the vid for insurance lol

  • my dad repairs them !!

  • So if u r standing in front or behind this running engine, will u get sucked in ?

  • @smartdon007 infront you will be sucked in very quickly, behind..you will be bblow a few kms away :D

  • @smartdon007 Well if you stand in front of it, yes indeed you will get sucked up, and get chopped up by the turbo fan. But if you stand behind it you will get blown away, like you will be blown away in 200 mph or more winds.

  • @Mr08ShelbyGt500 So the safest place is perpendicular to the engine, standing at its side, next to it.

  • @durtyd00d Sorry for not replying back fast. Yes one the side of the engine would be the safe place

  • @durtyd00d Sorry for the late response. Yes you would be probaly safe standing perpindicular. Although i would not try it

  • @yaseen257 Id disagree to that all the boeing 777s have those engines even the passenger ones and regardless of size and thrust most cruising speeds at their cruising altitiude are very similar, and the a good reason that the 747 doesnt have those engines is because it really dosnt fit the design (they would have to redisign the enitre wing which is expensive) and id probably say that at crusing alt the ge90 engines eat more fuel. now all of that is my opinon.

  • watching this with my little bro, and he asks "why do the blades keep changing directions? Are they having trouble starting it?" ahaha

  • that sounds nice, like the sound of that

  • @pablof59 The stroboscopic effect is actually just camera glitch that can sometimes even happen with the human eye. The blades are moving so fast that the camera can no longer distinguish each blade as it rotates, but from the center cone on the engine, clearly it is moving. What happens is that a blade, travels so quickly that it passes it's point where the camera saw it at it's start, and then moves forward somewhere, which makes it look like it is traveling backwards.

  • @pyropuck Can be seen on fast travelling cars aswell.

  • acuchemkid2007: 100% true and thats called a GO STY

  • who wanna go enter that engine...

  • @Chok1407 LOL ME DADY ME I WANT MY BODY TO GET SHRADED IN PEACE'S AT 8 000 (ithink*) REVOLUTIONS A SEC LOL

  • fastest hairdryer ever.

  • are u on top of the plane?

  • @jro9001

    Cabin door most likely, or tunnel.

  • Great stroboscopic effect of the blades !

  • That's an amazing engine, it can go backward and forward LOL

  • @stikmunkey Let's not mention upwards and downwards, !!!

  • @stikmunkey LOL

  • @stikmunkey hahaha indeed, the ultimate reversed thrust!!! :P

  • @stikmunkey LOL

    

  • @stikmunkey LOL! Too much alcohol and that engine = deadly

  • @stikmunkey thats called stroboscopic effect. it happens then the camera shutter speed cant keep up with the thing thats happening

  • @onsyod

    Actually the fan bladess on a jet engine do spin both ways.

  • really and when does this happen. When the engine is not running and the wind is blowing thorugh it???

    

  • @gordjess

    No on engine start as seen above....

  • @TheAnsarias no they don't

  • @gcoochy

    *sigh*

    im not gonna bloody argue with twats who think they know it all.

  • @TheAnsarias Sigh! me neither ballsack

  • @gcoochy

    Excellent!! but let me ask you a question...have you ever worked with an airplane engine...specifically the GE90's?

  • This may be a stupid question and may not be the spot for it. I LOVE PLANES and can and do watch videos on youtube for hours. One thing I do not know is why do they put the design on the center cone? Is that just so it is easier to see it is running so somebody does not walk in front of it? I assume it has something to do with running indication. I just don't know exactly why. Thanks

  • @brizzledizzle1 The spiral design on the spinner cone is there for 2 main purposes. One as you said is the indication of engine movement, the other is for bird avoidance. The spiral looks like a eye from a bird of prey when it rotates and keeps them away from accidental ingestion.

  • @frannymarch87 no, the Ram Air Turbine requires the air to flow over it in order for it to provide any sort of power. if the aircraft is stationary, it would not be turning....

  • Is that the RAT deployed there at the start?

  • FEAR THE MOO!

  • I wonder if you can push start it if you leave it in third gear.......

  • that center cone is mezmerising,makes me..wanna...go...inside...

  • @mrtoby1010 No, don't do it! You've got a whole life ahead of you... ((=:

  • @mrtoby1010 thats why birds fly in : D

  • @mrtoby1010 b my guest lol

  • @mrtoby1010 & tell me hw it was

  • @mrtoby1010 no, don't do it!

  • General Electric put this engine on a 747 and with this engine alone can fly a 747 will minimal payload and fuel so this engine is very powerful

  • it seems look to the spiral in the engine

  • why is the turbine blade seem to be moving clockwise then anti clockwise???

  • @CaptainFelixTan1

    Look up "wagon wheel effect" or stroboscopic effect for fast-moving objects and how they relate to camera frame rates. Digital cameras can create stranger effects with propellers appearing to bend in strange directions.

  • @FiveCentsPlease thanks!

  • a little different than starting up the car! lol

  • Yup, that's a high bypass axial compressor turbofan. With a through flow anular combustor. The fan section creates 90 percent of the engines thrust! Now that's impressive.

  • Sometime I get scared while going on B777-300ER...It feels like that engine is about to fall anytime...it look so massive on such tiny support it's hanging on.

  • @camerongoll how is this comment spam?

  • Gotta listen to her purring ;)

  • its so weid to see the not moving but the swirly thing in the middle spinning like crazy!

  • Nice engine, but I don't understand why the first part of the compressor rotates in another direction than the motor shaft or sometimes stops? Is it illusion caused by fast rotation?

  • @piotrjankowski19 its just your eyes, technically. Watch outside the window, how when you are in a car, look at the wheels at another car, the faster you go it will seem like the rotation of the wheel slows down and continues in the opposite. Sorry, don't have the technical name for this, but you get the idea.

  • Comment removed

  • @riDDDiculous

    Thanks, that's how I thought. After watching this video I tried to compare the effect in the screen to the wheels at car and after a moment's reflection it makes sence. That's what you said. Thanks again ;)

  • The Ultimate Inequality

    GE > RR

  • With GE90-115B, you can inflate up full sized 300 feet long blimp in 6 seconds. Millions cubic feet of air in only few seconds being sucked in with those bad-ass jet engine

  • very very nice!! this is a GE90-94B! excellent!

  • I'm hypnosed.

  • thumbs up if you was a bit skeptical if it was not for the white paint thing

  • A CRJ 700 was the most noiseless jet ive been on when sitting in the middle just in front of the main emergency exits. Otherwise quieter at the front.

  • @JetFlyyer that's because the engines are mounted on the tail

  • @ZA1Nable exactly

  • @JetFlyyer For me, it was on the 717. I was just behind business class and I couldn't hear a thing from the engines! Until I went to the bathroom at the back of the plane... Had to almost block my ears!!!

  • @JetFlyyer

    So true! I've been on a CRJ-700 Lufthansa Regional flight to Dusseldorff and it was the quietest ever!

  • Why in the world do people love so much Boeing than Airbus ?

  • @smartdon007: cause it's American XD

  • @MrRubendeRuiter well u r telling tht cause may b u r an American ! Let's ask people in France and see wht they say !

  • @smartdon007: not at all, i'm Dutch. But I really like America though!

  • @humbertsin1994 it depends on what you mean by 'takeoff'. Any modern airliner is capable of takeoff on one engine after V1, but I doubt any of them (777 excluded according to you) could do it ENTIRELY on one engine, if that's what you mean.

  • @ghettoperson257 do you know how powerful the ge90 115b is? GE found that it can fly a 747 with that alone. With that engine, the 777 is able to take off with one engine; no other aircraft can do that. The thrust produced by two of those strapped onto a 777 is enough to power 4 Titanics. Does that help give some visualization?

  • @humbertsin1994 I assume that 757-200 with is power to weight ratio could take off with only one engine working.

  • @humbertsin1994 seriously it could take off with just one engine alone, i thought the Bombardier Dash 8 could only fly on one engine, yeah ur description helps

  • imagine putting your hand into that!

    OUCH!

  • why do some engines have the spinning white design and some dont?

  • @777fsx200 they have it so the pilots know if the fans are spinning

  • @777fsx200 all engines have it actually, on some its just a bit darker. beleive it or not the effect it makes is meant to scare away any birds near in front of the engine during start up

  • @777fsx200 As what was said earlier, they're indicators that the engine is in operation. Wouldn't wanna make a mistake of getting sucked in there because you didn't know it was running.

  • @777fsx200 Its to tell if the fans are moving... as you see near the end of the video the fans seem to stop moving.... they're moving really fast ... so the human eye is tricked.

  • All i know is that sitting in the second to last row at the rear of the aircraft sucks!! It's so far from the vertical axis that any amount of yaw is greatly exacerbated resulting in a wild ride

  • Where was your destination?

  • interesting to see that the core and the fan run at different speeds

  • its a nice way to check if the engine is really running xD

  • @Sauron767 if it were that easy, it would've already been done. But they don't since the 747 is made to fly trans-Atlantic which generally means that it would need more engines (even though most t-a flights do have only 2 engines). It is also extremely expensive to make a new variant for a jet. You have a great idea, but you need to put that in your mind first.

  • What if two of these were put on a 747 and any 47 owner threw there older engines away? wouldn't that punch airbus in the throat as far as competition? and isnt the 47 the original massive airliner? it could save Boeing corp billions in funding and research saving themselves a massive aircraft just by cutting off four engines for only two big ones

  • @Sauron767 one ge90-115b could fly the entire 747 as shown by a ge test. however, an engine change on the 747 isnt as simple as changing a structure. downsizing from 4 engines to two is an entire structural change. wings would need redesigning, and the controls and lines would all have to change. cockpit systems and computers need to be changed. as a result of all that, it becomes as expensive as designing a new plane.

    which they are doing. the next boeing jumbo will most likely have 2 engines.

  • @humbertsin1994 if Boeing's next jumbo has 2 engines those engines would have to be super powerful just to get the thing in the air like the Airbus A300 Beluga

  • @Sauron767 Considering that the 747 was designed in the 70s, (excluding the 737) the trend at that time was either trijets or 4-engined planes. Boeing even considered a trijet variant of the 747, but doing so required a massive redesign, as mentioned by another comment, so Boeing scrapped the idea. Wing integrity, fuel/hydraulic line mapping, center of gravity, etc... they all have to be taken in consideration.

  • @Sauron767 It's a nice idea, however, the Boeing 747 wings are too low to carry the engines :)

  • @Sauron767 It could be done. But you would have to modify the landing gear to make the plane sit higher from the ground as they would sit too close to the ground. If you want to see a funny video there was a old video here on youtube of a B-52 bomber with a 747 engine on it. They was running tests on it in the 1960's.

  • @Sauron767 I'm no aircraft engineer, but two of these on a 47 wouldn't quite cut it. If you take the total pounds of thrust from both the 47 and triple 7 the 47 still has a little bit more total thrust over the 777.

  • @Sauron767 777 engines are wider than the 747's. Putting those engines under a 747 wing requires extra clearing. Extra clearing requires a new landing gear. A new landing gear requires a redesign of the wingbox. too much hassle for a rather old design (if we except the 747-8, that's it).

  • @artieroo

    See? the series 8 just put two of them on then thats it

  • @Sauron767 Well your thinking what Boeing is thinking. Boeing is putting the successor to this engine the GEnx-2B67 on the new 747-8s.

  • @Sauron767 no i dont think safe because if 1 or 2 engines with a plane with full capacity i dont think it will go very well

  • @Sauron767 GE has already been running tests on fitting these onto a 747

    they actually found that 1 GE90 could power a 747 in it's entirety. but I think because of the size of the engine and how much thrust 2 of them provide there is too much stress on the engine pillars and wings so most probably a new wing or re-enforced wing design would be required to fit these onto a 747

  • @rexius13 A GE 90 could probably power a 747 in flight, but there is not way it can take off with only one of these. Two GE 90-115s provide roughly the same amount of thrust the 4 engines on the 747-400 do, but it would never be certified due to engine out performance...if you lost one of your two engines shortly after V1 you are in a bad situation.

  • @Sauron767 if you wanted to put 2 engines on an airplane instead of 4, you would have to design new wings, you would need a new APU with special specifications and some other parts a 747 doesn't have. you would start at the point where the 747-8 designers started. until now the 747-8i brought boeing 2 billion US$ of red ink and only 33 orders. now think again about how profit-making a 2 eingine 747 would be.

  • @Sauron767 its not just the engines, the plane is old and they would have to upgrade more than the engines. Everything would have to be upgraded. It would be too expensive. Because you would have to add the cost of the airplane on top of what you upgrade.

  • @Sauron767 dude, It would cost a shit ton of money to replace every 747's engines. Plus "throwing away" jet engines isn't exactly efficient either.

  • @Sauron767 That will cause a problem with ETOPS ratings. Also, it depends about fuel consumption and other stuff I don't feel like writing about :)
