The effect we’re seeing in this video, seen as a dark area on the wing in the lower part of the frame, and defined by a sharp, clean line that traverses the width of the wing, is a phenomenon called a “shadow”.
You can see the shockwave as a really thin line on the leading edge of the wing and just above the shadow. Make sure the video is on high quality or it will be too thin to see
Those of you who say "shadow" clearly don't know what you're looking for. It's a curved line visible from the shadow line (horizontal) convex and emerging up and to the right towards where the engine cowling intersects the wing. It's like a fuzzy hair on the screen. Difficult to see, but it is there. You can see other videos on youtube of it to know what to look for.
I know what you mean. It Beginns at something like 00.06 and it is at the place you describe it to be. But isn't that just a mistake in the footage? Just something random made up by the camera through some bad light?
@@rmstitanic4068 no, it’s really a shockwave. The plane itself is traveling around 85% the speed of sound, but the air over the top of the wings is even faster because it has a longer distance to travel (you can look up how airfoils work). So the air over top can be transonic and create the waves you see here.
for people thinking it is not A 747, it is. The aircraft is a rare 747-200. you can tell by the pat connecting the engine to the wind and the short winglet. if you google a 747-200 view out of window, you can see.
The wings are swept backwards in most airliners, so the leading edge of the wing comes out at a backwards angle. Since the engines are positioned to face directly forward into the wind, they are not perpendicular to the wing as the wing isn't perpendicular to the plane.

All I can see is the reflection of the passing flight attendant's dark uniform in the window.
Wow, do you have a degree in aviation? 🤣
😂😂😂

This is a phenomenon called ``mirroring of clouds higher in the sky reflecting off the wing skin.''
thats nearly a minute of my life i’ll never get back
I watched in slow motion 😢
I’m actually shocked that the wave never came 🤷🏼♂️
😅
😄😄😄😄
Nice shadow watching, time I’ll never get back.
Nothing to see here
Must read comments before wasting time.
My kids watched this 4 times over, gave it away when I had tears in my eyes and laughing my ass off.
"Pretty lame, Milhouse" came into my mind.
It’s like watching paint dry.
I've watched paint dry, something actually happens by then end.
Yes, nice shock wave, and nice roll, and split S too ! The climb a 9g was pretty cool !
im assuming it was easier to see irl and this person expected it to be visible on film
Dave Fedors: Behold Shockwave, in all its Glory !
Me: Pretty lame, Milhouse.
I thought there would be Iron Man passing by.
That could have been a water wake, did not even notice that in this video though. But they are fascinating.

Its a 747-8i, not a 747-200
ok that was a waste of 46 seconds
I guess you had to be there?
If there was AI commentating it would've at least send shockwaves through the community.
i love the part when he shows the shockwave
You mean the reflection of the passing flight attendant's dark uniform in the window ?
🙈
Sorry, i dont see any shockwave.
So where is the much touted shockwave? All I see is an aircraft in normal stable flight…🤷🏼♂️
More like a zapwave
Mcrit baby!
747? really?
yes. 747-200. rare catch
This is obviously how you avoid getting many subscribers... ----------- By wasting their time.
Stress is a real thing
I missed it. Fives times 😐
I really can't see it tbh
its literally just a video of a wing smh
It is just barely visible at 0:13
and what am I looking for ? ? ?
Never mind the shockwave or lack thereof, why is the engine not perpendicular to the wing?
The wings are swept backwards in most airliners, so the leading edge of the wing comes out at a backwards angle. Since the engines are positioned to face directly forward into the wind, they are not perpendicular to the wing as the wing isn't perpendicular to the plane.
Noice
Man, how old is that 747??
Seriously- no winglets? Was this 1975?
@@jameshash4142 its an old one. 747-200
Awesome
Awesome. NOT.
Lol
