  • was that taken from seat # 42K ?

  • nope that was seat 6A. in a 747-400, best seats are 6-8 in business class. first class can't see the wing/engines enough

  • BA, I guess?

  • United Airlines

  • Nice vid! I think you were in first class...

  • business class. business class seats 8-10 are the best for viewing the engines in a 747-400. First class is too far forward

  • I love it when they throttle the engines and it pins you back in the seat. The acceleration of such huge machines is amazing.

  • United Airlines use Pratt & Whitney 4062 Engines on the 747s! Great Video!

  • I love Shanghai.

  • Watch this, extremely short 747 takeoff in history

    watch?v=sQCZYKcN1k4

    :D

  • Very nice! I loves the 747!

  • nice... you can see the slats on the leading edge of the wing, this allows the wing to generate more lift at higher angles of attack, it also delays seperation of the airflow over the wing allowing a steeper angle of attack before the wing stalls.

  • I never knew United flew to Shanghai.

  • 5 Stars! Check out my videos!

  • biggest difference to tell is the sound.. the GE makes a very high pitch sound at about 70%N1 the PW has a ghostly low pitch idle sound.. and the cone of the GE is like an ice cream cone.. straight except wih an opening.. the PW's cone is wide then becomes narrow.. if that makes any sense lol

  • I heard that

  • hey i got a question: how i can diference the PW of the GE engines? i can´t find it

  • Also depends on the altitude at which the airport is situated.
