Virgin Atlantic's Boeing 747-400 christened English Rose is seen departing Manchester Airport from Runway 23L. You'll note that the plane takes off relatively quickly given it's size - this is because it isn't fully loaded.

We hope you enjoy it!

  • how slow do you wantr to take off at! why is it so slow???

  • During this take off I believe the plane was only a fraction of its normal take off weight. It was heading down to London Heathrow Airport on a Transit flight to collect more passengers. It would have had less baggage and possibly even less fuel so didn't need full speed to take off. It also needed much less runway to take off too.

  • @schumann193

    Its not a rocket :p

  • Its a positioning flight to another UK hub, So there will only be Flight crew onboard and no PAX luggage therefore resulting in slower VR speed and from the video it looks like they have a strong headwind which already gives them TAS before the roll off the runway

  • LOW AND SLOW :p

  • Awesome video! I love the VS 747s, beautiful!
