Dreadnaught Full Engine Failure 2023 Reno Air Races BEST SOUND
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- The Unlimited Sea Fury Dreadnaught suffered a mayday during Tuesday's Unlimited qualifying session. Pilots are briefed and practice intensely for these events and Race #8's Pilot handled the mayday masterfully. The airplane is safely on the ground and the Pilot is safe. Race Team #8 qualified at 441 mph.
UPDATE: Likely the master rod gave out.
Dreadnaught's race pilot credits hundreds of landings in a Luscombe for preparing him for this dead stick landing. That is something we can all take away from this.
Absolutely. Luscomes and 140’s will TEACH you how to fly an airplane. To really fly it. How to fly without a bunch of power to get you out of everything. But mostly, how to land straight. Neither airplane will tolerate any shenanigans while landing.
@@pwayne3580 It wouldn't be *_Luscombe_* ?
Did he not feather the prop?
@@pwayne3580The Luscombe is a far better airplane than the 120 and 140
Amen! I was fortunate enough to learn how to fly in a Luscombe in high school. My boys will both be learning in the Luscombe
Great job capturing the whole emergency landing too!
It is an honor to hear that from you sir! Joel credits the mighty Luscombe and all his hours of practice in it for keeping him safe. Steven Hinton had similar respect for the Luscome, his first tail wheel airplane. I thought you would appreciate that.
@@czoom51 Again: It wouldn't be *_Luscombe_* ?
It was your video about this being the final flag in Reno that finally pushed me too make the 3000 mile drive and be here.
Been promising myself this trip for 30 years. So glad to be here.
Great job Aviating Navigating and Communicating. #Nopanic #proffessional #stayalive
Juan-E-Juanito!
You're everywhere man!
Stay safe brother !
Its rare to see something like this filmed in landscape mode. Bravo
... yeah, what he said......
A case study on energy management and efficient use of what little glide ratio he had . That’s a pilot!
Absolutely perfect “power off landing” wow.
Joel passed the ultimate dead-stick landing exam. At least for piston engines. Dread went from powerful racer to a glider with a 1960s station wagon bolted to the firewall.😢
Engine still running at least at idle when landing?
just windmilling
@@amcam124
@@amcam124 maybe just windmilling?
Great skills, but wonder what is left of that Bristol Centaurus?
@@timdakeDreadnought doesn’t have a Centaurus she has had an P&W R-4360 28 cylinder “Corncob” engine for many years, so quite a few more horses under the cowling than standard…on a good day anyway!
That is the best dead-stick landing I have *ever* seen. I thought he was going to hit the runway hard but he pulled the stick back with inches to spare. What an awesome stick and rudder man. I am in complete shock.
Edit: Masterful energy management throughout that emergency.
I've had and seen worse commercial landings, coming into BWI.
Nice going!
That the only kind of landing I ever make - I fy gliders!
To jest po prostu prawdziwy pilot, pozostali którzy tak nie potrafią tylko maja złudzenie bycia pilotami.
Wow ...that pilot was calm and professional....me I still have goose bumps....
never seen a glider land?
Masterful handling of a catastrophic engine failure. Packed on the altitude, got his bearings, made an absolutely perfect dead-stick landing, and shut it down immediately, to preserve what was left of an enormously expensive engine. Training, ladies and gentlemen, training. Well done sir.
It was not a catastrophic engine failure, there was 1 valve that failed and that caused backfiring in the intake manifold which is what you heard. When they inspected the aircraft it was noticed that the air intake scoop was quit distorted, caused by the backfiring in the intake manifold.
Full race speed to a perfect roll out in one graceful arc .... that was an astonishing piece of flying .
He brought that baby in like a pro and a gentleman.
So glad to see a safe recovery.
Great camerawork and a fine display of airmanship in adversity! Very glad there was a happy outcome!
beautiful footage! Great flying!
Great job and everyone(thing) gets to fly again another day, thank God.
Best energy management ever.
like you know what that is
@@TheLukaszpg i do. Don't be a dick
Clearly he does. @@TheLukaszpg
Made it look like he does that every day. Beautiful job.
i remember seeing Dreadnaught at Reno many years ago. There was another Sea Fury, whose team was obviously less well funded. They called their plane Havenaught.
That would be 1983, the year both made their debut. That was the only time Lloyd Hamilton called his race 15 “Havenaught”. Very tongue in cheek, of course; the next year it showed up in a slick red/gold livery, wearing the name “Furias”. That was a hard luck ship.
Awesome display of pilotage
Yep, went for altitude the first instance!
Is that a word? I think you mean piloting or flying.
@@redriverraider Yep, he traded his massive airspeed for altitude and then flew his "glider" down for a safe landing. That was a textbook example of what to do, when the engine fails at a very low altitude. 👍👍
Good question, I thought it was but I could defiantly be wrong@@andrewwaller5913
"Pilotage" is actually a word, but it doesn't mean how it was used here. It is related to navigation.@@andrewwaller5913
Like a Space Shuttle landing but without the chute! Good Job!
I wish I could fly an approach as good on a normal day! Cheers from Texas! KADS
In the mid 80s when I was around 20 I was with my dad at his job on Ratliff Lane and at that time you could see part of the runway from there. I was just barely realizing a plane's engine was sounding odd but Dad had noticed something sooner and was watching the little bit of the runway that was visible. A couple seconds later a plane appeared as it hit the edge of the runway and Dad instantly took off running towards the plane and I followed, but as we got near the end of Ratliff we could see a fence blocked the way, and the aircraft had slid out of view, so we turned back. As near as I remember it sounded like the plane slid to a stop and no more engine sounds. I vaguely remember a couple sirens coming from that direction but no fireballs or anything.
Holy Cow! Poor dude. Excellent landing. Thanks for sharing.
Malice in the combustion palace. Very smooth and skillful return.👍🏼
How cool would it be to see a teardown of the engine like Eric at I Do Cars does with car engines every week? Pretty sure some piston rods installed inspection ports in the block as they self-yeeted.
@@GeekBoyMN that would be a 20 part video.
Great filming and job well done by the pilot! Would you be okay with me featuring this in my series Weekly Dose of Aviation? Of course you will be credited both in the video and in the description.
Yes that is fine thank you for asking.
The legend himself!
I watch that every week!
Looks like he toasted the engine nice recovery will live to fly another day!
Landing this dead stick monster is like doing an auto-rotation in a chopper. You only get one chance to do it right. It's either perfect or a it's lot of work putting all the pieces back together. Nice work for everybody involved and Dreadnaught gets to fly again.
Had a dead-stick of my own many years ago, in a Bonanza. Was at about 4,000 ft above Keesler AFB in Biloxi when engine went out. Declared mayday, told Keesler I was coming down, and they said okay. They cleared the airspace and sent out 2 crash trucks to meet me, which I didn't need 'cause I had flown hundreds of 'engine outs' in Navy flight training only a few months before. Took me at least 5-7 minutes to glide down for perfect setup to runway. That's one especially great thing about military flight training: always being ready for any type of emergency. My uncle who was Air Police at Keesler was with me. Event gave him a great story to tell at work a while later.
That pilot did a masterful job of bringing Dreadnaught in in one piece after his total engine failure. Also, the camera man did a great job of following him through to the final touch down. Congratulations to both for their superlative skills.🤩💯👍👍
Thank you so much!
I was watching a stunt pilot practice aerobatics (he did this often by my home growing up) and he did a vertical induced stall, let the engine stall... then he went to fire it up and there was a rough sound followed by a bang....then, the sound of silence. Engine totally failed.
He had tons of altitude, plenty of places to land and plenty of time, on the case I witnessed.
Still, seeing that happen is heart stopping! You feel helpless and just hoping "Please, channel Chuck Yeager's soul or something! Just, please....make it down safely!", regardless if you know the pilot or not. It's not like Watchung a car crash on slow motion... it's like watching a potentially fatal crash at various speeds, with the altitude acting like a ticking clock. Will there be an accident or not? 😮
Maybe it's just me, but I don't watch NASCAR for the crashes and I don't go to airshow or watch aerobatics hoping to see the pilot crash! It's horrific watching and hoping the pilot is OK! There is no "hope I don't watch someone die" feeling...its a "please let them be ok!? please?" kind of thing
That pilot did an excellent job keeping his speed up to get to the runway then bleeding off the energy
GREAT JOB!!!!!!! .....you could almost HEAR the SIGH OF RELIEF when those mains touched down!!!
Great flying! That was an impressive landing.
Impressive pilot skills and impressive camera skills! Thanks for posting
Nothing a former Chino Dairy Boy couldn’t handle.
Great Job Joel. 👍👍
Where skill and experience come in to play 👍
Awesome catch! May I feature engine failure and dead stick landing in one of my next episodes? Of course with a link back to your original video. Keep up the great work!
Yes you may, thank you for asking.
WOW... blades were going flat REAL fast!
That's my cousin! Excellent bit of flying!
It is a pleasure to know him. His flying skill is outstanding!
Extraordinary skill landing that heavy airplane with power. That comes from knowing your aircraft like the back of your hand and being able to maintain flight in an emergency. I hope they can make repairs and be back in the air since they have been expected to be the Gold Race winner. But, being a winner only happens when everything works according to plan.
Bob Hoover would have rolled all the way to his parking spot on the ramp.
And then drank his glass of iced tea that was sitting atop the instrument panel.
...without taking his straw hat off!
Beautiful job, mate. Best dead stick landing I’ve ever seen.
Great airmanship Joel !
Grease job landing. Awesome!
Great footage. Thankfully, he was able to land it safely.
beautiful job bringing her back in safely. see you all on Sunday.
Great work getting it back down safely! Good capture man!
Ah man, I always liked Dreadnought. I'm glad to see a safe landing and hope that the damage isn't too great.
It will fly again which will be a pleasure to see. The Sea Fury was built to handle emergencies well.
I can't imagine how much drag than engine was producing... perfect outcome though. Practice practice practice.
Puff of smoke at 0:07 looks like when the engine let go. Right after that you can hear the engine note change drastically.
Yep, when it starts sounding like two garbage cans fighting for a lid ain't much to do but head for the sky to get room to get it on the ground safely.
Master crank breakage means some of the pistons are left behind. Part of the motor still turning.
I'd love to hear a play by play of exactly where the engine failed, how fast he was going, how high he climbed, and how long it took to dissipate the speed to get ready to land. Great landing, and great video.
The pilot was thinking and flawlessly reacting so quickly, the narration would sound like jibberish!
Perhaps at some point I'll get to share that with everyone. He did a great job and has a very thorough retelling of it.
Brilliant, Absolutely brilliant!!! 🙏🤷🏼♂️
This might be a weird thing to say, but the engine failure itself sounded really cool. Glad both the aircraft and its pilot made it back on the ground safely.
It was a wicked sound, some of the most experienced warbird operators in the pits said they had never heard a response from the engine quite like that. The prop gets me every time.
Impressive, on how fast he got it down and on the ground.. Nice job. It was a rough ending for the Reno-Stead air races.
pretty sure that sound was a rod banging out a new inspection port into the side of the crankcase. glad to see a safe situational recovery, conversion of airspeed to altitude, and landing.
Wow, that was nicely done!
Sorry, I had to mute the volume; the idling Cessna was getting to me. But great video!
On the audio: I kept remembering the video here of the Luscombe trying to land at Riverside and the background audio that was with it: "Apple! Aaaaw!...Apple Paltrow!...knock-knock...apple...knock-knock...apple...knock-knock...orange". Thumb-up if ya know the video.
Aside from that, love Sea Furys. Ya gave 'em hell!
Looks like the corncob shed a few kernels...Great deadstick!
Amazing recovery from that engine failure, traded his speed for altitude efficiently, and made a textbook landing that some pilots don't even manage with a fully working engine. Respect to the pilot.
Apparently the engine sputtering that we hear is not coming from the disabled aircraft.
Yes I thought that as well, but then I noticed that the prop wasn't turning.🤔
It absolute came from the disabled aircraft.
@@rarebear7788 Hi, there appears to be some confusion here. When the plane lands is the engine still running ? is the prop freewheeling?. You can here a plane engine idling in the background and that sound is heard when the prop is turning and also when it stops. You hear a noise when the engine fails in flight, but then you also hear this engine idling noise. I'm confused.🤔
No, I think that must be something near to the camera
Give that man a cigar! Well done Sir.
Great job, pilot
Handled exceptionally well!... Hope it gets rebuilt in time...
Well done
Nice climbed right where the engine blow.
Heading there Friday can't wait to see the races my first time there likely my last unless they find another airport to race at.
Beautiful job!
Joel really got Her down Quick,bled off speed beauty inches off the runway.
Well done !!
Beautiful job of the pilot, who safely landed this crippled-beautiful plane... Bob Hoover would have liked this....
I think he would, thank you for the comment.
One fine example of converting altitude to airspeed !
Sounds like the 4360 swallowed some valves.
Lol, sounds like some kind of Greek seafood...😁
@@stevee7774 damn these tiny keypads.
@@patrickradcliffe3837 😅
the sound. damn
I may not be able to hold a camera steady, but if there's one thing I'll be sure not to miss...
smooth flying and a cool head saved the day. Tragedy about the engine, but you have to live to rebuild it.
Amazing pilot!
The Buick!! I can't believe she won't be part of the final go 'round now.
Awesome capture! May I feature this in one of my videos? Of course with a link back to your original video. Cheers!
Stuck intake valve/s leading to induction fire or (staccato of) backfires. A lack of oil stains suggests no catastrophic mechanical failures. Definitely upstream of the cylinders problem. The smoke at the pylon was merely the engine eating its vomit.
My thoughts exactly.. Could also be a cam gear/s failing on one row and the result is constant intake charge ignition.. When the prop is turning that blower is pumping.
That is more likely the case as I have just seen a video updated comment stating the engine screens have produced metal, so game over I guess. I assume they mean oil screens @@leeudraak
Looks like it's all up to Steve Hinton now. He's a hundred miles a hour faster than his closet competitor.
Good job with the recording.
Awesome ,professional ,Aviating !!! I love this. Hawked Sea fury !!! I've heard talk this is the last Reno Air Race !? Please someone clarify say not true !?
Masterclass in airmanship.
First rate job, well done that man. Not much consolation but I guess that the 4360 will be easier to repair/ replace than a Centaurus .
I do understand why racers engine swap this bird but it reminds me of all the e type jaguar's that got Chevy swaped back in the day now the owners are try to find the original engine as those cars are now making $200k or more in original condition .centaurus in good shape do sound glorious though 👍
The Sanders do keep one Centaurus powered, so the sound of one isn’t extinct in the States. Dreadnought has has been racing with the 4360 for forty years now, and the notion of a 4360 powered Sea Fury existed long before that. I love a Centaurus, but the 4360 is (was) an excellent match for the airframe.
That was a very good audition for landing a Space-shuttle. Test passed.
Good job landing, glad pilot is safe
What was the diagnosis of the engine failure?
Very nice camera work. Real shame for the team but at least everyone is safe.
I enjoy doing dead stickers at our little grass strip.
Hi AOA to get the prop to stop, drop the nose immediately to the recommended glide speed and finess the greatest little flying educator in for a smoothie of a ldg.
The good ones make it look easy.
They really do...
Damn, That dude knows what's up!😲
Thank goodness he was able to gain a bit of altitude. Low to ground that could have been game over. Great dead stick landing!
Fortunately they carry a lot of smash at race speeds they can convert into altitude. Thanks for kind comment!
NICE LANDING 🙂!! Sounds like there's another plane somewhere that could use a Hy-Grade rebuild kit.
Any landing you walk away from....
Well done!
He did what every pilot should do in an emergency- The most critical step is flying the airplane, regardless of the situation. This involves controlling the altitude, attitude, and airspeed of the aircraft. Pilots should always ensure the aircraft is in a safe flight condition first.
An incredible dead stick landing, Congress on a job well done.
Damn but these guys know how fly an airplane
Wygląda na to, że to jest pilot potrafiący kołami swojego samolotu otwierać kapsle butelek z piwem!...
I’m surprised emergency equipment was not summoned.
They arrived as this video ended. I have them arriving on my video.
Great to have energy to use, maybe can't 'bang out ', but can bail out or force land.
And what would have happened if a FW 190 was behind him with 20 mm cannons blazing?
WOW...how to deadstick a rock!
I had a car that sounded like that. 🙂🇦🇺
No ARFF got rolled?
