✈ Boeing 777 Wing Flex Inflight Turbulence@600MPH
Loading...
Uploaded by MoosemanSG on Apr 24, 2011
Watch from 2:30 for epic wing flex.
Turbulence encountered off the coast of Japan on a United Boeing 777-200.
And for those idiots out there, how does this look like a simulator? (it isn't)
Planned altitude: 38,000 feet.
Current altitude: 32,000 feet.
Some planes were flying at 42,000 feet! and it was still turbulent up there! (according to ATC)
I'm not sure why Mr. Pilot decided to descend to a "smoother altitude."
Only on United:
If theres turbulence, they don't give you a full announcement to fasten your seatbelt... they say only two words:
Seatbelt Fasten.
Only on United:
If turbulence lasts for 15 seconds, the fasten seatbelt light is on for only 15 seconds.
Watch this plane's takeoff: http://youtu.be/nfeHwE1FSeU
And landing: http://youtu.be/0I1s--eDS_w (weird link. idk why.)
Both have ATC!
United. Its time to fly.

Also, I respect your steadying technique!

Bah, all the detractors... This was very fun and instructive to watch. I enjoyed it a lot. Having flown on the 777 a few times, I experienced some similar chop at altitude and the inboards were working away furiously, just like here. Thanks for sharing this, it was definitely worthwhile!

Crazy dangerous takeoff 767 in severe storm!!by desiro111,008,842 views
Boring. When they do static testing on wings they can bend them , in the case of the new 787, by 25 feet. The *normal* arcing of the wing on a B-52 is 8 feet at the end and as much as 40 feet on takeoff fully loaded. A 747's wing will bend considerably on takeoff as well. The flexing in the video is miniscule.
