This fucking jet was sadly scraped as of 2008. Its no more. I think every plane ever made should be able to fly at airshows at least! Now we have boring wisper quiet boeing 787's with absolutley no character to them about to fly the skys. Fuck high bypass turbofans. LOW PITCH LOUD SCREAMING TURBOJETS FOR LIFE!
Tremendous sight and sound! I never got to ride on a 720, but this brings back great memories of my one flight on its bigger brother, the 707: Guyana Airways JFK- Georgetown-MIA. The crew let me sit in the cockpit for landing at MIA at 1AM- FANTASTIC! It turned out to be the last passenger-carrying 707 flying to the US.
In my opinion, those clasical airplanes should not fly like a today's typical airplane... every day. those airplanes should be used like old cars, just for weekend, fly them for fun, but not everyday
I wouldnt really say all planes today are super quiet, but that seems to be where they are headed. Remember, they are basically big busses in the sky hauling around families with babies.
Amazing sound, unlike today's aircraft and their quiet engines. Those were the days of 707, DC-8, DC-10 and the early 747's (100 and 200), 727 and 737 (100 and 200).
@houshidar558 i wouldnt like to do a 9hr 30mins flight from the uk to usa on a noisy jet, the 787 and a380 you can barley here and there modern, im a boeing fan and even the 747-443 i went to orlando on was reletively quiet an the new 747-8 intercontinental with GE GEnX-2B engines is a lot more quieter and more fuel efficient and 787 wings and interior. but dont get me wrong there's nothing wrong with liking classical planes, like vintage cars they wasnt half as quiet and comfy as todays cars
@landman1973 those type of jets are now banned from the air unfortunately, i like the sound of todays engines like the genx-1 and 2b, ge90, and various todays engines, but i remember flying on a 737-200 when i was a little lad in the mid 90's i think it was, when i was about 5. am now like 20 years old.
@landman1973 oh mate and concorde to, she had the old ultra loud saound barrier breaking turbojets to. gone of the days of them now though, its all about clean green quiet fuel efficient long range airlplanes today.
Oh man that were great times when smoking was common and engines were allowed even to smoke and scream.... I´ve never been on board a 720. I was on a 1968 build 747 from British Airways back in the nineties. That was also a very cool experience. I love that sound. But I fear all the enthusiasts have to become accustomed to the new world without smoking, engines screaming and the good old odor of bad burned Jet A-1 fuel. Sad but true. Thank´s for the video !!
@pianomanmaestro This was Honeywell"s Engine Flight Test Aircraft. It has since been scrapped. It was literally torn apart and sold for scrap! What a shame...
@seaboo143 i last rode in one in 82 out of ohare to KTYS. #3 engine fails,/flameout whatever its called. we return to ohare, wait for repairs, and then leave for ktys. was worth it. cause after that, never rode on a 707 again. i miss the old bird. plus back in those days you as a kid could go into the cockpit, and sit there and talk. ( during preflight. which kicked ass.. nowadays no.
WHAT A SOUND!!! This is a perfect jet sound to me not the new ones with big fans that have this buzzsaw sound. Like them too but these old ones are the best. Go look for a TU-154 takeoff, they sound awsome too.
in the early 1960s I spent many hours flying across the Atlantic from the USA to the UK in an American Airlines Boeing 707. This video brings back memories of when flying was a true adventure!
@CoolePascal So was the 720, the HS trident , VC-10 the Avro Vulcan and the DC8 I believe, all normally subsonic :) . All these including the TU154 were in a shallow dive, an a/c is only classified as supersonic if it can attain it straight and level.
The VC-10 is also very fast, its published max cruse is mach .925
Assuming this 720 was indeed retired in 2007, what has become of it? Was it parked in an Arizona airliner "boneyard," cut up, or, it is to be hoped, donated to some aviation museum? In short, nobody seems to know!!
1. Customer pays for engineer to take 1st class, round trip flight to Belgium. Pays for 1st class hotel and meals. Honeywell books engineer on coach, registers him/her on roach motel and pockets the difference! Way to go!
@dan39888 Yes, flying in the 70's and 80's was a very loud experience. Much more noisy than today's transports. I remember as a child having my ears hurt from the level of engine noise.
Yes...They were turbofan engines. Those Boeing 707's are LOUD planes. Back in 1978, I remember being on the observation deck at Detroit Metropolitan Airport (DTW) watching planes take off. The fourth or fifth plane I observed taking of was a Sabena World Airways Boeing 707. That plane was FAR LOUDER than the DC-9's Boeing 727 and the Boeing 747-200 that took off just prior to the 707.
@p1harw66 Some 707s had turbojets, some had turbofans. Didn't much matter though, the turbofans had such a low bypass ratio that they may as well have been jets.
@applesweeter IDIOT, Sorry, Im An Angry Dude. At AppleSweeter, They Bought The Boeing 707 From Boeing And Use It For Electronics Testing Like Screens In The Cockpit That Was Developed From Them Ok You Dildo!
I would guess to say that it is pretty high. AirBUST doesnt build them like Boeing - especially this old gem! Needless to say that Pan Am dema nded a lot from Boeing with the 707 - it almost bankrupted Boeing. Pan Am saved Boeing with the 747 though in 1969. Both can take a high crosswind and crab like a ballerina.
O, the glory of sound pollution! I hope somebody somewhere has an archive of the way these beauties (707 but also 727, and especially L-1011!) sounded on takeoff...
I have to say that I'm surprised that these old birds were still operating in 2007, although it is sad to see them go. Hopefully this one will get a nice place in a museum somewhere so that more people can enjoy it.
@eltfell - That's not good :(. It seems like such a waste just to chop this bird up for scrap. Even if the plane itself doesn't bother you, there is so much to learn from seeing the evolution of aircraft design from older birds like this. Oh well. Still a great aircraft for it's time.
With all respect. Saying that the PW 2000, 2035 or 2040 mounted in old B 757 aircraft are fuel efficient is a bit dangerous since all mayor airlines are getting rid of this kind of aircraft because of that, is a leap forward but not enough. Talking about fuel efficiency you may want to consider the IAE V2500 or the Rolls Royce Trents, even the SNECMA CFM 56 however this engine has a very high oil consumption.
Bypass ratio. Refers to all the air that is suck in by a jet engine but doesn´t goes inside the compressor and mix with fuel, Instead it circles the engine around. This engines are call TURBOFAN and because of this feature they are very fuel efficient.
these engines were built in the 60's far from fuel efficient as far as im concerned. A fuel efficient engine would be like a pw on a 757. the only function of these doors is to prevent stalls when the engine is spooling up like you said, not to make them fuel efficient. fuel efficiency was the last thing on there mind in building this plane. You can think of these doors like a blow off valve on a turbo

Those doors are called Ram air doors is a bit difficult to explain their function but here we go, they are use to create a stream of cold air to reduce the noise due to the thermal shock and also they are use to dump the excess air going into the compressor to prevent a stall, because the old jet engines has very low bypass ratios specially this one the PW JT3 engine.
@blackhoumor Modern airliners can achieve equal speeds, but are designed with lower cruise speeds to increase fuel economy and environmental impact. Most modern airliners are capable of achieving supersonic speeds in a dive or in forward flight with poor handling characteristics and horrible efficiency.
That looks scary, like its falling apart

Saying that the PW 2000, 2035 or 2040 mounted in old B 757 aircraft are fuel efficient is a bit dangerous since all mayor airlines are getting rid of this kind of aircraft because of that, is a leap forward but not enough. Talking about fuel efficiency you may want to consider the IAE V2500 or the Rolls Royce Trents, even the SNECMA CFM 56 however this engine has a very high oil consumption.

the 75's are still one of the most fuel efficient airliners today, and the quietest :o

Bypass ratio. Refers to all the air that is suck in by a jet engine but doesn´t goes inside the compressor and mix with fuel, Instead it circles the engine around. This engines are call TURBOFAN and because of this feature they are very fuel efficient.

these engines were built in the 60's far from fuel efficient as far as im concerned. A fuel efficient engine would be like a pw on a 757. the only function of these doors is to prevent stalls when the engine is spooling up like you said, not to make them fuel efficient. fuel efficiency was the last thing on there mind in building this plane. You can think of these doors like a blow off valve on a turbo

Those doors are called Ram air doors is a bit difficult to explain their function but here we go, they are use to create a stream of cold air to reduce the noise due to the thermal shock and also they are use to dump the excess air going into the compressor to prevent a stall, because the old jet engines has very low bypass ratios specially this one the PW JT3 engine.

Bypass ratios?

It's to increase the air flow rate.

Don't frown,
Those familiar old aircraft live on as military aircraft like the E3 Sentry, E8 J-Stars, and the KC135. Even John Travolta has one.

Half century old design and she's still the fastest subsonic airliner ever built...

I think the Convair 990 may have been a little faster.

I have always heard the Convair 990A with Swissair's own modifications was.

Is it faster than the IL 62? I've read that the IL62 has a cruising speed of 1050km/h...is this one faster? damn!!!

@Prometheus203 nowadays we could build faster subsonic jets, or even supersonic jets. but not speed, but the environment is important^^
blackhoumor 1 year ago
@blackhoumor Modern airliners can achieve equal speeds, but are designed with lower cruise speeds to increase fuel economy and environmental impact. Most modern airliners are capable of achieving supersonic speeds in a dive or in forward flight with poor handling characteristics and horrible efficiency.

@blackhoumor we have built faster subsonic planes like the Vickers VC-10 it is subsonic but i can takeoff on shorter runways
