  • A 747-400 has six million parts, half of which are fasteners. A 747-400 has 171 miles (274 km) of wiring and 5 miles (8 km) of tubing. A 747-400 consists of 147,000 pounds (66,150 kg) of high-strength aluminum. The 747-400 has 16 main landing gear tires and two nose landing gear tires. The 747-400 tail height is 63 feet 8 inches (19.4 m), equivalent to a six-story building...

  • Fuel The 747-400ER can carry more than 63,500 gallons of fuel (240,370 L), making it possible to fly extremely long routes, such as Los Angeles to Melbourne, Australia. A 747-400 that flies 3,500 statute miles (5,630 km) and carries 126,000 pounds (56,700 kg) of fuel will consume an average of five gallons (19 L) per mile. The 747-400 carries 3,300 gallons (12,490 L) of fuel in the horizontal (tail) stabilizer, allowing it to fly an additional 350 nautical miles.......

  • Favorite airplane :)

  • I really have to say that this is one of my favorite YouTube videos of a Boeing 747 taking off and flying above clouds. Wow @dgl1962 I think it is pretty interesting how one engine of an 747 burns 15 gallons of fuel per minute.

  • @MrZulu2065 ok

  • The guy filming the engine is thinking....."wow, that thing could surely make some monster margaritas!" The blonde stewardess walks by the engine thinking...."big deal, that engine's got nothing over ME!"

  • Very nice takeoff! Were you in business or economy?

  • The amount of fuel this thing uses when only by taking-off can last a 1300cc car a full year!

  • @CorrectFiqh

    I believe the fuel it uses for a whole flight (of 12 hours) is enough to power the average family car 12,000 miles per year; for 300 years! The amount of fuel burned just getting to takeoff position 1 from the gate (at Hong Kong for example) in a 777-300 LR is about 850 pounds of jet fuel without waiting! Thats enough to power a 1300cc car for much more than a year, and that is just taxiing.

  • What seat you were seating on?

  • That wing bounces like crazy.

  • Ahhh, I LOVE flying!!! This is the only way I can see it anymore! Views from the UK over the North Sea, Holland, Belgium and Germany were fantastic and over the Isle of Man over to Northern Ireland. I remember them now decades on. Fantastic!! Safer than riding a bus or train!! Definately than driving on motorways etc!

  • what an annoying engine sound:( nice vid though;)

  • good god look at the wing during take off, it looks like its gonna snap off

  • Is it Lufthansa?

  • I like how they throttle back at altitude and the turbines relax a little.

  • Where was the plane going?

  • اقلاع جميل جدا

  • God damn, I got a 17 hour flight coming soon. This video looks so scary.

  • @neverboardproduction The wings suppose to flex, if it does not flex, the wings will break apart, therefore as long the wings are flexing then that's a good sign the plane will not fall out of the sky.

  • 1:39 Its looks like a snow =]

  • how did you take this? dont they say to turn off electronics?

  • Datz koo did ur plane pass by hollister Ca

  • awesuUM

    

  • Each of those engines is burning about 15 gallons a minute

  • @dgl1962 which is far less than a car per passenger

  • @kirby4d I don't know what kind of car you drive, but I've never heard of one that burns 900 gallons per hour...

  • @dgl1962 A plane is 15 gal/min, but theres 400 passengers, so its .0375g/p/h. A car is like a gallon a minute on the highway, if not more. For 4 passengers, thats .25g/p/h. .25 > .0375

  • @kirby4d Wouldn't a gallon a minute in a car be 60 gallons in one hour of driving? I don't know of any car that gets that horrible of gas mileage.

  • @dgl1962 Yet the oil companies still bitch and moan about shallow profits

  • @lowball420 You've been watching too much leftwing TV, Exxon for example makes about 2 cents per gallon profit, but the average taxes on a gallon going to the government are 48 cents.

    Who's the greedy entity?

  • @dgl1962 On take off try 150 gallons a minute.... until cruiseing at higher altitude

  • The flexing wings and engines are amazing. The engines sometimes look there are not even attached to the wings as they move differenty.

  • those seats look like awesome seats for this video taping - i too, had similar seats in af 747-400, where the filming was awesome!! nice video, i love it!

  • and to think the 'bs' of those who say that "videotaping take off and landings of airplanes, make a higher risk of electronic failures on airplanes, thus, more likleyhood of accidents and or crashes" etc... is NOT true...... cause a videocam is 'taking in' 'action'- whereas, a mobile phone DOES GIVE OUT 'RAYS' {lack of better word, couldnt think of the best word etc...} all one has to do is, place yr mobile infront of your computer speaker... THATS why phones need 2 b off for take off et landi

  • at 2:42, you can see the curve of the earth, pretty neat

  • haha i like it

  • haha i like it

  • Wow! Fog in San Francisco, that sure is rare.

  • That sounds like the RR RB211's

  • @AV8R4HM

    I dunno, the Pratt and Whitney series has a pretty fair drone on it too.

  • @Hiei2k7 these are GE CF6-80C2B5F

  • @Hiei2k7 Oh that they do. You are right about that! =)

  • the 747-400, a beautiful piece of of engineering in my opinion,

  • i loved the that engine sound

  • At 0:03 the plane landing was like "HAHHAAH IM FASTER THAN YOU" then at 0:36 "Okay i loose"

  • what is that load sound in the background? is that from the engines or smth else?

  • I don't know, those engines wobbled quite a bit on takeoff .....Scares me!

  • The Roar of a 747 is Freakin AWESOME!

  • At what altitude does it commence its normal climb rate?

  • Don't be scared. Statistics show that you have more chances of dying driving to and from the airport. Not to scare you more. I love flying and I'm not scared.

  • Nothing to be scared of airplanes.

    One thing is certain about air travel: If the plane doesn't take you to your destined airport, it will definitely take you all the way to the crash site.

  • These 747's crusie at about 608 MPH.

  • when it takes off im so scaed, i feel very bad, i feel like dieing :( i dont like airplanes , next week i have a flight and im scare :'( its boeing 747 too, but it is 40 years old airplane :'( :'(

  • @shadmehr2008 Don't worry. Whenever I feel like that when I'm already in a plane, I think of the most dangerous thing there is about flying: The way to the airport. ;-)

  • @kai303 is it safe with a 40 years old one even if its well-maintained? :(

  • @kai303 yep true

  • @kai303 OMG well said well said! that is actually a fact!

  • @shadmehr2008 Get this through your head. 747's don't crash. Let me repeat that again. 747's don't crash. If you're shot down, like the other 747's, you'll never know what hit you. Enjoy the view out the window and enjoy the power of the takeoff and the view of the landing. And if you see an old man behind at the helm, just remember he had his ass shot at while flying in wars. So relax, have fun, enjoy the turbulence, and get back to us after you "survive!"

  • @shadmehr2008 if it means its 40 years old and it has never crashed? than it means it a good plane =)

    have a good flight,

    dave

  • @vuurwerkf4n Thanks dave, but my life is so shitty that it doesnt matter to me if it crashes, you know what i say,at least its not a suicide,thanks very much :)

  • @shadmehr2008 you now the engines are only heald on by carbon fiber and 3in of carbon fiber

  • @lookman3731 who told you that?? lol

  • @albboy96 no one i just watched air crash investigation a lot . it a good show but watch it after you get home form you your trip

    did i scary you?

  • @shadmehr2008 wuss.

  • @shadmehr2008 flying is safer than driving. Proven fact

  • @shadmehr2008 Man, when I watch this video, it makes me feel even more scared of flying and I have a long flight to Asia from Canada coming February 2012. I don't know if I can do it.

  • @megamunchit2008 dude cool down, boings are fine, i had my flight 2 weeks ago and it turns out to be just fine with a 40 years old plane!

  • @shadmehr2008 rhe chances of being in a plane crash are very rare. theres no need to worry

  • @shadmehr2008 The more you worry....the worse it is..

    Just get on and sit back and close your eyes put on ur Ipod or something to chill you out. *obviously listen to saftey instructions*

    nothing to worry about :)

  • @shadmehr2008 Boeings are the safest aircraft in the world.

  • @shadmehr2008 the cool thing about 747's , they have four engines.  so if one blows up, you still got three of them keeping you in the air.

  • @shadmehr2008 I was scared to fly with airplanes too. But believe it or not, after I heard a BA 777-236ER take off with Rolls Royce Trent 800 on full thrust, I began to wonder how can an engine using giant fan as thrust source fly a 600 tonnes aircraft and sounds so epic. I studied aviation afterwards, I'm now an aviation nerd and I'm risking anything so I can fly with airplanes on long holidays no matter what.

  • @shadmehr2008 dud briten up man airplanes are awsome i amin 9th grade and plan on being a pilot

  • This is an excellent video. Exactly how most of us passengers feel and see the flight. I so wish I had become a pilot in my life. What an exciting thing it must be to command a machine like this!

  • Guys, please do not feed the troll...

  • What does Lufthansa mean? I recognize the word Luft like from the name Luftwaffe. I like the German language. I want to learn to speak fluent German.

    Gutenflug

  • @Juliansworld "Luft" means "air", like "Luft Post" means air mail for Germany. But the hansa of Lusthansa, part I don't know.

  • But to everyone else, I will tell what is quiet is the new 7478i I had one come in for a landing right over my head about 100 feet at KBFI and its amazingly quiet. And it was a amazing thing to see.

  • @timothyj67 ..Note to self, drink some coffee before typing so I can spell correctly.

  • @matthmatthmatth What an angry man, calm down please. Having sat on the seat right on the wing of the A380 a few months back coming to South Korea, I can most definitely say it is considerably quieter than a 747 which I have also traveled on many times.

  • It maybe the sacond bigget, but it is the greatest ;)

  • is this the biggest passenger airbus????

  • @AMARILLO08 it's an American-made Boeing 747-400 operated by the German airline Lufthansa. It's the second biggest passenger airplane in the world. You're thinking of the European made Airbus A380.

  • @AMARILLO08 No the biggest is the Airbus A380, This is the second largest

  • @AMARILLO08 The Biggest is an  an-225

  • Was it really this loud?

  • Very louder than normal IMO!

  • beutifal

  • Too bad it was foggy. You could have seen San Francisco Golden Gate bridge when it u-turned.

  • How many hours is the flight from S.F to Frankfurt ?

  • @Juliansworld It is about almost 11 hours to fly from S.F. to Frankfurt.

  • I've watched a few airplane takeoffs now from youtube, and i feel pretty sick... Been in airplanes many times, but always felt sick, and scared because i couldn't hear very well inside an airplane.

  • At 0:06-0:14 its Star Alliance buddy United Airlines A319 or A320 is landing on Runway 28L. Great video nice sound of the engines.

  • beautiful music

  • LOOK HOW FLOPPY THE WINGS ARE..

  • so the only way to film is with a gas powerd camera?

  • you can think of flying above the arctic...

    

  • every time i fly the engines put me to sleep lol lula by from a plane lol o ps can you really record a take off and or landing on a plane witha digital camera?????????

  • looks like the wing is going to fall off. i always get nervous in airplanes.

  • @sean808808

    Yeah, but the most annoying thing about flying are those hairy gremlins on the wing that keep messing with the engines. :(

  • @ballebanan yeah I also remember that, what was the movie?

  • You're not allowed to film during takeoff noob.

  • @idontfkinknow1234 As long as it's with a normal camera and not with a phone, you are.

  • @idontfkinknow1234 do you know how many gazillion take-off and landing video's there are on the internet? I don't think it affects anything once your seatbelt is on.

  • @idontfkinknow1234

    I had a small video camera, flat, size of a digital photo camera. I never had a problem in filming, just put the camera at the window and close the window curtain/drawer. Experiment a little bit with distance objects you put in the bottom front of the camera otherwise it will film the sky...

  • Ha Ha!!  Funny how the landing United A319 surpassed the full throttle Lufthansa 747-400 down the runway saying " Eat This ", THEN, 20 seconds later the 747 is like " Oh Yeah, Who's Your Daddy "

  • @Darkton80 What nonsense !

  • Man oh man I love the HUM those babies crank out, imagine the suction at the front, even at the great speed. Of course we are hearing 4 engines, not just the two we can see.

  • Too much zooming. Should be used sparingly. Keep it on wide angle. I've got a GoPro. Now that would be the camera to have in the cockpit with about 180 degree coverage.

  • imagine you chillin on the clouds smokin some pot, and then OMFG A FOKING PLANE COMES THROUGH !

  • Love The Engine Sound

  • Superb video!

  • From 3:00 , the plane make a right turn, while turning ,the camera view doesn't change,and the scratches in the windows are the same too.Then, 2 white orbs upper right view follow the plane ,then at 3:10 ,object going vertically very fast ,and right after,left to right 2 objects passing by very fast . UFO my friends ? : )

  • At 3:07 , upper right view, 2 white orbs stand still, and around 3:10 white thing going vertically very fast ,and right after ,left to right ,white orbs passing by very fast ...UFO ? : )

  • At 3:12 , upper view , white object passing very very fast ... UFO ?

  • I have a video of a LUFTHANSA 747 takeoff at New York city

  • these are general electric sounds

  • I'm addicted to this video-it's just like being on board!!

  • sweet takeoff not too much noise either

  • sweet takeoff not too much noise either

  • @scottkan357975343 the engines are fine, and the sound u hear from inside is different from the sound u hear from outside the plane.

  • those engines really don't sound good. is it supposed to be like that

  • 0:06 lets RACE! 0:38 hahah I WIN!

  • Great video! I especially like the climb out thru the clouds.

  • 747 miles better than a320, I fly both quite frequently.. for some reason turbulence is never an issue for the 747, the a320 shakes like a rollercoaster

  • Where's the buzzing sound coming from?

  • @neruni Yes I was wondering that too... it sounds like an old motorbike!!! :-)

  • @craig3008

    Lol. I was imagining that plane running on a couple of old motorbike engines. I'm curious to know if that buzzing sound was coming from the plane's engines.

  • @neruni The buzzing sound you're hearing is due to the nature of the fan loading for high bypass turbofan engines, which these engines are. The blades, imparting a huge momentum change per unit area to the surrounding air, exhibit a pressure difference that's nontrivial. The pressure at the front of the blades is much lower than at the back, so this difference must resolve itself at the trailing edge. It's that pressure difference, repeated for each blade, that causes that buzzing sound.

  • @TheFerruccio Is that the same for a Helicopter?

  • @my235 I think so. Helicopter blades experience similar loading. Except, with helicopters, you don't have the rotors passing stators.

  • @TheFerruccio Excellent explanation.

  • Ah they beautiful machines we can't live without them!

  • @filmdirectorlord we "could" it would just suck.

  • In a way they did Orville Wright lived to see Hiroshima get bombed even, though I'm sure he would have tripped out on how many jets we're flying all commercially today

  • Do the flaps on the 747 retract automatically when the plane reaches a certain air speed?

  • @PlanTonto

    Mobile Phones/ radio EQ must be switched off, cameras are allowed ;) So you can play with you DS while landing if you want and hear music with your ipod.

    @n310ea

    I think they do not, but the instruments show you the level of flaps at a certain speed (e.g. 200 knts) and the pilots retract them manually.

  • What a noisy piece of shit! A380 i the way forward

  • Hey don't you know to turn off all electronic equipment during take-off and landing..? ;) Thanx for the upload! I have always thought 747's were the best of the best!

  • which airline is this?

  • @TheMistMountain The best airline in the world! LUFTHANSA!

  • LH455?

  • nice view of the 747 and airbus landing too..

  • sounds like rb??

  • great great vid.

    thank you for the ride!

  • Could you imagine what the wright brothers would think if they could see how far air travel has come since kitty hawk....

  • @Dreama40 I think that quite often :)

  • @Dreama40 yes they would think air travel has come pretty far

  • @Dreama40 Wilbur died of typhus in 1912; Orville lived to see his work used in two world wars and lamented it, but he was alive long enough to see the brith of jet-powered flight. 45 years, from ragwings to jet-powered aluminum. At least he got to see that. We'd be nothing without flight, screw TV and game consoles.

  • @Dreama40 Orville Wright actually lived long enough to see the early jet planes (Wilbur died about 35 years earlier) and he was involved in aviation all his life, so he thought about it a lot lol

  • @Dreama40 It always amazes me how something so big and heavy can get up in the air at that speed.

  • @Dreama40 One of the Wright brothers, and I can't remember which, got to pilot a 707. I thought that was pretty nice.

  • @Dreama40 I agree completely, but considering that a similar view could be seen 40 years ago on a Lufthansa 747-100, in the early days of widebodies, it's even more remarkable!

  • @Dreama40 god......i would sure love to know.......

  • @Dreama40 Same for Henry Ford.

  • @Dreama40 The Wright Brothers first flight was the same length as the Boeing 747's wingspan.

  • @Dreama40

    im sure they would be shocked. very

  • @Dreama40 they would think....oh wow, still not interplanetary travel????

  • @Dreama40

    Oh man. They would think it was magic

  • @Dreama40 Their first flight can be done in fuselage of Boeing 747! :))))

  • i'll always be impressed by the felxibility of these birds' wings...

  • nice sound to the engine!

  • having been on board a 747---its quite something on take-off. Nice plane to ride in(No thanks Airbus- been on yours and this is better). Now imagine (oh do I wish there was videon then!) what it was like on a Boeing 377 Stratocruiser. I travelled some 20,000 miles in Stratocruisers and those big old piston engines on take-off...!!! oh what everyone's missing nowadays!

  • what a noise, man! GO AIRBUS!!

  • @clustergarde it is a 747-400

  • @bordercollie1975 no shit?

  • @Myggomag Fuck up you Scandanavian faggot. I wasn't talking to you, clustergarde typed "what a noise, man! GO AIRBUS!!"

  • @clustergarde it's Boeing, actually. There are some neat airbus videos here on YT. : )

  • on the takeoff, did it feel heavy on your legs? and your brain felt like its going to throw up for 1 sec?

  • how high did the plane go ? and nice vid

  • Planes are the shit
