How to break a glider´s wing

[eatthapoupou]

CHUCK NORRIS IS MASTURBATING :D

[floridaskater07]

I take it thats why all aircraft have a VNE (never exceed speed) lol.

[SeimenOverlord]

guys that was a high professional test and the glider was not really constructed for aerobatic (sry for my english )

[farmer6987]

@TheJmwart Thats pretty much a stupid fucking comment

[ricochet188]

Stoopid glider, you're not a bird!

[teomeimf]

Its a flutterby

[badwolfshamma]

stupid novice fliers always pressing buttons, ''ooh bird mode, i wonder that that is?'' pressed ''hahaha 1/2 plane and 1/2 bird'' moments later, ''ohhhhh shiiiiitttt''

[bee4010]

It's a flapper not a glider

[deaftodd]

Instead of breaking, its more like flapping its wngs.

[abhiginimav]

so thats how gliders fly...they flap their wings! :P

[normgood11]

B B B Bird bird bird

IT´S A GERMAN VIDEO :)

[n1u2t3z4]

thats how my butt cheeks look like when i fart :)

[SirRobertDole2]

VTEC just kicked in

@SirRobertDole2 daamnn.. xD lol

hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­hhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaa

[xaminmo]

Just shaking off some ice... :)

[timmie245]

OMG It's a BIRD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MrVinney96]

nah, he's just waving at us

[azezrtyuuiopqsdfghjk]

It's turbo mode to get altude.

[Kevinski1997]

this shaking is nothing! glider wings can stand out extemer things like that, especially a german DG-100!

[Whiteshack01]

"I'm a real bird :D"

[MrNotch9]

guys come on, it was just trying to fly

[kurnellampdwarf]

H4H4HH4 MORE CHUCK NORRIS JOKES

O

seriously, fuck off. that shits starting to get old.

[erfanullahjan]

wow, those chuck norris comments are so funny.

[protector440]

@PootStip Lmao sound like something they would have on that old cartoon called Wacky Races

[helloo1979]

thats not why the plane fly?? like a bird?? 

[schuttz1]

A DUCK

[jkiang]

There's the big blue button in the dash it said "Bird Mode". The pre-flight checklist specifically called for it to be in the off position. I guess the pilot forgot to do it on this flight.

[PaulJR72]

Not designed for shagging on the back seat!

[ricardot82]

i cant stand this chuck norris bs any more

[BluTrollPro]

What causes that in a glider? Did he over speed or was it turbulent wind, or something else?

[FelchBelcher]

@BluTrollPro Yes, he's calling out the speeds in German and it gets stable again at 130 (probably km/h, knots would be bit too fast)

[oiseautempete]

@FelchBelcher

Not it's knots (top was 140 and at 130 (=240km/h) the flutter stops), and it's sligtly low for a glider: many glider (all aerobatics capable) can fly up to 300km/h, the fastest can fly 350 (VNE)

[Dominoes282]

Vne is for chumps... I fly at flutter speed

[jezz581]

@Dominoes282 yer ok then. Well then see what happens when that flutter rips your wing apart. It only take 20secs of flutter and that's it.

[Tutorial4Yours]

It doesnt break ?

[MrPyroflight]

That guy must have shat his pants I guess?

[hammerogod]

I guess that's why I was never interested in flying Gliders.

Oh, I tried it dual-tandem..and all I could think was "Where is the fucking engine?"

I know it's an art but the damned things look and feel like something Lego makes.

I suppose that it's OK if you like it.

But not everything is for everybody.

Give me at least 150hp and wings that don't flap like a freakin' duck. 

[mrturtlebobington]

@hammerogod The wings aren't meant to flap but you probably worked that out

[hammerogod]

@mrturtlebobington

Well..to a degree all wings do flap...or at least flex.

Ever sit over the wing of a 737 (or a DC3) in rough weather?

The wings move...I mean up and down...sometimes as much as a foot or more at the tips....but that is normal.

I was more or less making a joke about Gliders but wings oscillations are relatively common.

Check this out... I found it to be very interesting

/watch?v=pEOmCkZyXzk

[jezz581]

@hammerogod Wings are meant to bend up somewhat but not flutter in that way. Just watch a 744 (747-400) or an airline really (smaller GA aircraft is harder to notice) but when they are just about to touch down they bend up quite a lot then when they land they come straight down.

[DJRoksor]

@mrturtlebobington All wings flutter.. normally not to that the degree but then again gliders are designed more critical.

german voice and french discription?

stolen video???

no offence, just asking

@menglinhai ohhh k xD

[paintballhero1911]

bhahahahahahahahahhahahahahhah­ahahahahahhhahahahahahahah

[Fe3R100]

VNE and flutter test?

[sleedz1981]

pilot shud not jerk off during the fly :)

[SirrBrave]

too fast,, flatter

[fellydog]

natural frequency?

[Animehem]

@fellydog no the pilot makes them do it

[ninjasailor1]

@fellydog Called 'Flutter' it's by design and alerts the pilot he's approaching Vne (never-exceed speed)...

[cpljoker]

[KarpatycGhost]

why does that happen ??

[basimpsn]

Need to rename HOW TO KILL YOUR SELF in a glider

[likevvii]

WTF FAKE SOUNDS

[kinsley2108]

VNE...

[TheArbiter6695]

IMA BURD!!!

[numeromanesc]

Muttley !!! DO SOMETHING !!!!!

[zPeeNuT]

is it just me or is that, SCARY ASS FUCK !!!!

[gillesquain]

That's what happens when you overspeed a glider ! :)

[glpxt]

This was a test flight to study flutter.,The overspeed was intentional and the wings have been reinforced for this test, otherwise they would have broken. And of course the test pilot wore a parachute.

[xmasterfunk]

@glpxt test pilots are so badass

[schillyschote85]

crazy german

[greebo68]

VNE

[Scumacher2008]

It's obviously some new Russian experiment to make a flappy fail thing.

[yooz111]

What caused this? overspeed?

[00LAH00]

@yooz111 yes, its overspeed, the effect is called flutter, its an aeroelastic concern. It happens because the wing is not "stiff enough" to resist aerodynamic forces in that speed, the wing tips twists (because the lifting line and CG is not on the same place on the wing cord) in a way that they start self feeding the vibrations as the twist changes angle of attack regionally on the tips.

[yooz111]

@00LAH00 I would imagine it to be something like that, thanks for the info. appreciated.

[crosaphiso1]

can anyone tell me the nose angle on a hang glider?

[lesztat18]

i know what the problem is. it lacks feathers

[baseballballs]

he says his actual speed: "Let's go. 150, 148,145-142, 140 135, 130"

[Fivinator]

Thats what the red mark on your ASI is for.. :L

[eeektavius]

[madme93]

Silly Germans

[Fourteen88SoCal]

why?....what happened if it DID break?!...pretty sure you would be fucked! lol

[bajesus666]

Vne?

[gliderpilot79]

@bajesus666 '

Velocity Never Exceed'

[bajesus666]

@gliderpilot79 i know that :P i was just wondering if that was the case, his pitch isnt too low from what i can see

[FalkoSensei]

Flutter is a pain in the *** , ever tried it with an speed stir II?

you'll pray

[gojewla]

it was just waving to the camera

[bigturk74]

That was so cute :) flap your wings lovely bird

[faramawy89]

Dont think its luck due to the fact the wings didnt break. its just amazing seeing aeronautical engineering so advanced that it calculated each displacement taken by the wings to ensure its stiffness and same time ductability

[loch70]

The plane thoughts........."I have no engine so i try to fly like a bird",

[TheAbsta123]

lol i have done this before in my uncles glider

[christoffNY]

its just aerodynamic flutter...

[limavadylad]

@christoffNY Just before you hit VNE.

[coopmuch56]

gliders are pretty stupid

[witmoreluke]

@coopmuch56

I would hope so, as they're inanimate objects.

[coopmuch56]

@witmoreluke haha ill replace stupid with pointless then.

[jetse1994]

@coopmuch56 they aren't! I bet you never flew one. If anything is stupid over here, it's you.

[coopmuch56]

@jetse1994 well why would you spend all that money, get all the licenses you need, so many things you need to do before you actually fly, when something like paragliding or paramotoring is so much quicker,cheaper easier and I personally think better. It would be fun to fly in, but with paramotors you can go in and out of canyon fly over waterfalls , anything and anywhere below 15,000 feet

[staslig]

@coopmuch56

how little you know. The license you need to start flying alone costs around 2k dollars. The license for paragliding is around 1,2k. This is the prices in Norway, maybe the most expencive cuntry in the world.

If you are a member for a sailplane club then renting the plane does not cost much, paragliders lasts about 2-3 years depending on use. then you need new gear, a sailplane you dont buy alone. I should know, im a paraglider, sailplane and comercial helicopter pilot.

[coopmuch56]

@staslig what are you talking about, you dont need a license for paragliding or paramotoring. Its way cheaper easier and funner to paramotor, my personal opinion.

[staslig]

@coopmuch56 guess you are from afghanistan or something, in most cuntries you need a license to paraglide, diffrent license to hangglide and you need a paramotor check to use that. This I know is true for most, if not all cuntries in Europe, and the US.

If you do this without a license, then I guess the insuranse company will love you when you get hurt.

[coopmuch56]

@staslig nope canada. you dont need paramotor licesne anywhere.

[staslig]

@coopmuch56

never said license for paramotoring. I said a check, this is true for norway and most of Europe, not sure about Canada since Ive never been there, but a cuntry without rules for this will have ALOT of accidents. To many idiots think they can fly without learning to. Guess you might be one of them.

A kid I know you are though, no true pg pilot would be talking down to other pilots, no matter what they fly. Its like me saying you're an idiot cause you dont fly helicopters.

[cwazny1]

@coopmuch56 Easier? Flying is a skill that most pilots are proud of. They constantly work to improve their flying skills. If they wanted easy, you're absolutely right; they would strap an oversized kite to their ass, and tool around a hillside.

[teedot]

@coopmuch56 Such disrespect for other pilots. Shame on you.

[coopmuch56]

@teedot I cant give an opinion why I think a paramotor would be better than a glider? Fuck outta here

[teedot]

@coopmuch56 Wow, there's no helping you!

[sa227fly]

@coopmuch56 Really? How much time do have in gliders? Of my 3000 comemrcial and non-commercial hours, my glider time has been the most fun...and challenging. I defy you to stay in the air for +5 hrs, or climb to +30,000', with your average light plane (@ $30/hr rental rate). Let's make it fair: you get to use your engine to get you to 3,000' agl, the altitude of a decent aero tow. You haven't flown until you have sustained flight without an engine, kid.

[jetse1994]

@sa227fly You're so right! staying in the air for hours without an engine is just amazing. I hate it when paramotors fly over my house @sunset... Just a noisy lawn-mawer under a parachute :p

[bajesus666]

@sa227fly that s soooo true. you really need to have a 6th sense for gliding

[Rick1885]

Rubber wings!!!

[JohnBigmon]

I wonder what the average age of the Norris and Bieber commenter are. 13? 12? I hope not older than that. The shit's old.

[mega20092010]

He was to low. He must be over the other plane. He comes into the wind of the other plane.

[BigNose144]

@mega20092010 Bullshit...

His real airspeed (not indicated airspeed) was just getting too high. The wings begin flattering because the airflow matches the resonance of the wings, it's typical for gliders.

[umbc91]

@BigNose144 true airspeed*....no such thing as real airspeed



[PootStip]

WACKY WAVING INFLATABLE WING FLAILING GLIDER!

[thewolfmaster4]

@PootStip BAHAHAHAAHAHHAAHHAAH! I just loled at that, Well played.

[azizbhai]

@PootStip omg dude i got stomach cramps from laughing!

[MultiHobbyman]

chuck norris was masturbaiting in that plane

[ChrisCarter1983]

@MultiHobbyman Hahahahahaha!!!!

[Thekaiserwill]

@MultiHobbyman your wrong he was masturbating on the ground

[jsDX11]

@MultiHobbyman *glider

[innersilencedotcom]

that's called flutter. and it's a pretty bad deal. luckily the glider is made of very though composites and can withstand the huge forces.

[innersilencedotcom]

@BliebandRHYNO - no shit? who told you that?

[globalmilind]

Justin Bieber was test flying!

[jeepinbanditrider]

I'm kinda curious as to how fast he was going also. That was some serious flutter. Of course it could have been a test pilot and they were testing the design limits of the glider. In which case he would have had a parachute and what not. There are other videos of flutter on youtube for multi engine aircraft and single engine.

[jwm239]

...the plane is waving to the awed and adoring gallery.

[n7275]

flutter 

[P4RK0URR]

Was it going overspeed or was it doing to much of a decline?

[Angry8bitChicken]

@P4RK0URR chuck norris was masturbating

[ebutemetube]

ornithopterrific!

[MrSupersam14]

Holy Shit!

[JustPlaneNuts]

Overspeed?

[silentbobextreme]

I was expecting the gliders wing to break off... oh well

[hughgareth]

Who is Chuck norris?

[cantroos]

really I don't think there was any danger there, if anyone could find any report of a glider of even reasonably decent condition having it's wings break off in heavy turbulence or extreme manoeuvers, I'd be very interested, I don't think it happens period.

[IAMOldNick]

Ohhh de widdle guy's twying to fly

Nah that must be scary stuff if you are in the plane

[huracan200173]

That is called... FLUTTER!

[Tecnobingo]

The best video I saw about flutter.

Very... explicit.

[kyvegas00]

why I will not fly in a glider.

[WotNoEngine]

@kyvegas00

And just why do you think flutter above Vne is exclusive to gliders? (Hint: all aircraft have a Vne)

[adam3916grant]

Soooooooooo how do you break a gliders wing??

[blazuk1]

nich gut was macht ihr mit den schönen flugzeugen!!!!!!!!!!

[MrRoflbladez]

uhh i think you need to turn bird mode off lol

[SalafiJustice]

@MrRoflbladez loool

[TreyOConner]

a glider is like birds... it need to flap its wings to gain more lift lol

[Danucart]

@TreyOConner

lool!

[1995azertyuiop]

flutter!!

[B0rnToRoll]

Glider was scared so it started flapping

[mozzmann]

There are many posting comments here with absolutely no idea of what they are seeing not what they are saying.

Mass balance weights have been used but in some cases don't work sufficiently well enough to warrant their use.

Flutter is a problem but not insurmountable, as for structural damage yes it can happen but only after a prolonged flutter indecent.

Testing like seen here is all designed to make adjustments in the prototype before production and to set speed values for the POH.

[sarabitches5chloe]

does any one else notice the airplane is doing the wave? wait a minute... HOLY CRAP NEXT THING WE KNOW THOMAS THE TRAIN WILL BE RUNNING OUR TRAIN STATIONS!! RUN FOR UR LIVED!

[jsokayama]

What does Chuck Norris have to do with anything? Is he your hero or your lover.

[danusia115]

yeah, keep doing that. one day youll find out.lmfao

[hristijank2]

just grab an axe and hit the wing... ull be allive and ull have a broken wing... xD its easy

[kondadotm]

And what would they do if it DIDN'T pass the test?? (Means... broken wing) Jump out of the plane??

[uberteknik]

@kondadotm

Yes. The pilot wears a parachute and the canopy is designed to be released by a single lever pull.

The manoeuvres are executed at a safe altitude giving plenty of time for the pilot to bail-out.

[kondadotm]

@uberteknik Thanks for answering. So he's a experienced pilot plus parachutist ... so that in fact *is* quite close to Chuck Norris. ;-)

[tadanorm]

fake ya idots :p

[sailesh2001]

well in a wind tunnel with a model they could send it mach 1. but they cant send an actual full sized 747 over mach 1. that would be all bad.

[SS3kakarot1]

@sailesh2001 yup

[RonaiHenrik]

No, it was not funny. actually if it becomes harder, that shaking, it's very very dangerous. But not funny... -.-

[joshs088008]

Gliders wings can bend a long LONG way before breaking.

[fatony26]

no shortage of YOUTBE physicists on this video I see...

[cantroos]

You see some videos of heavy turbulence and the wings flexing on a big commercial jet, but apparantly the wings on most jets can bend like 20 feet either way without it being a big deal.

[Gam3rTagger]

its not a glider its a giant bird

[aaronzack14]

fly birdy fly

[mathilde83]

this is not overspeed... it´s about 150 km/h or 80 knots. the Glider is a DG 300 with a 17 meter WIngs with to much water in it.

so its flutter!

[beotch22utube]

what the hell

[necedm]

Its called flutter... its a phenomenon that can happen in every airplane..

Basically when you hit a certain speed oscillations (no matter how small) wont die out, and so you get this constant "fluttering" effect... He did a good job getting the plane out of it

[D0NGI0VANNl]

@necedm

Pilot actually forced the flutter and the plane stopped by itself.. You can't compensate at this frequency :)

[necedm]

@D0NGI0VANNl yea .. i know.. I didnt say compensate.. its a flutter test... the pilot does have some control tho.. they do these tests all the time

[ecam90]

IT'S A BIRDPLANE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Corvette35000]

WTF

[lisilix]

actually, mates, it's just a malfunction called flutter, in other words: ailerons that are not perfectly balanced can cause the wings to wiggle as they do here

[KAPITAN14EPLL]

No mate..the wings would of fallen off..you dont even knwo what is overspeed...

[sheldonholy]

@KAPITAN14EPLL You don't know what overspeed is. Just cos your over red line doesnt mean that at that very second the plane is going to desintigrate in that same instant.

[LisaM4612]

@sheldonholy agreed, most aircraft, gliders, B747, A380 are all tested to cruising speed + 50% and should be able to withstand the strain.

As far as i am aware the B747-400 is tested to Mach 1.47 in flight (not wind tunnels)

But the cruising is something like Mach0.85

So if wings come off at Mach 0.99 then someone on maintance has some explaining to do.

[sheldonholy]

@LisaM4612 A B747-400 is tested to OVER mach one?

How can it possible fly at mach one? It doesn't have full flying tailplane etc...

[sailesh2001]

@LisaM4612 oviously youre retarted if they tested a 747 to mach 1.5 u clearly have not done any research. fastest they've ever flown a a380 was mach.96 or a bit more. no fucking way they can send that above mach 1 without it breaking apart. let alone any commercial jet thats not supposed to fly above mach 1. so unless you can prove ur mach1.5 load of shit you might wanna have evidence or check what you've written to see its made sense....

[105Raptor]

@sailesh2001, people who work for boeing say in testing where they had to dice it has broke the sound barrier. by how much i dont know, probably not 1.5 but im sure it has

[quakermaas]

clean underpants and cockpit seat needed after that

[korrighann]

" Shit, I'm late for dinner, my wife is gonna kill me.... HURRY BOY !!! " XD
