BIg power engine!

[323tiim]

Hiding behind the front landing wheel? Haha xD

[TNSAOD]

@323tiim Oh haha sure you could say that, I was actually on the head set talking to the engineers in the cockpit.

[323tiim]

@TNSAOD Oh, cool.. But ive got a question. How close can you go to the engine without getting sucked into it?

[AceDoubleG]

Love The Fan Blades!

[doubleshot82]

does both engine rotate in the same direction? it seems like it

[TNSAOD]

@doubleshot82 They most definitaly do, there is no right and left engine they are both identical apart from a few things. may seem like they are rotating the wrong way around to start with but that is only because the wind is blowing the blades, until the engines light off.

[superskullmaster]

@TNSAOD What are you talking about? they are spinning the right way the entire time. At least it looks like that in the video. Look at the spinner, not the blades.

[TNSAOD]

@superskullmaster Sorry man your actually right there, I just took it for granted because the way the wind usually blows at the Air NZ hanger the engines usually spin the wrong way until the starter is engaged, I should have looked at the vid before commenting haha.

[superskullmaster]

@doubleshot82 Look at the spinner, not the blades. They are spinning the correct way the entire time.

[DiamondPilotDan]

sexy

[WolfenGeist]

music for my ears!! thanks for sharing!

[CoolasIce2]

How do these engines start spinning? Is there a hi speed electric starter motor?

[truckinjeff]

@CoolasIce2 They use bleed air from the APU to start the engines.

[CoolasIce2]

@truckinjeff OK Thanks, but then how does the APU (turbine) engine start?

[ShalemariTV]

@CoolasIce2 electric start

[CoolasIce2]

@ShalemariTV OK Thanks, but how does the electricity....just kidding.

[1956MercM260]

Nice sound capture! (Reminds me of Ross Perot's "giant sucking sound". :))

[TheSSMusicChannel]

and if it aint an Airbus - there'll be a fuss! - A380 4eva.......

[airplanes1000]

Dang I love the GE 90 sounds and my favorite prt is when they make the really deep sound! Thank you very much for uploading! :)

[TA1FL]

if you want to hear close to the real sound , i advice you to adjust bass level high

[ramprashad29]

the sound of that engine makes me super horny..............

[TNSAOD]

@JackieeXP + @211Ferdi I-phone 4 32g

[TNSAOD]

@magnus1270 its a beautiful thing isn't it?

[magnus1270]

@TNSAOD yeah, I love when a 777 starts up her engines :)

[nielscarp]

@magnus1270 Well the BEST engine sound ever is from the Lancaster bomber!

[HaukeDerwisch]

optik

[TNSAOD]

@HaukeDerwisch ???

[marlo1204]

@TNSAOD he probably means optical illusion because of the spiral in the center.

[witolek1]

@HaukeDerwisch You thinking about aliasing, right ?

[jason11582623]

good stuff man

[Svendogga]

If it aint Boeing, I am not going XD

[alexgets98]

@Svendogga what nonsense. what if the only plane available was an airbus, or fokker, would you cancel your flight and waste your hard-earned cash?

[Svendogga]

@alexgets98 Generally if someone puts a smile or a happy face at the end it means it is just a joke!

[alexgets98]

@Svendogga oh sorry, but it is a silly remark if it is made serious.
