Just the classic.I miss those Tri-Jets.DC-10 and MD-11 flights are among my most loved.So much space and comfy seats and the power of those engines on take off...truly unforgettable
That unmistakable engine roar. I love the DC-10/MD-11, their shape was awesome. I miss flying in those fatboys, my favorite airliners. Great memories, thanks for the video.
This does not look like 80s footage. This looks like high quality 2000-2003 footages huge difference between 80’s or even 90s. I take it you are a child maybe.
That's probably because home video quality didn't improve much from the 80s to the 00's. Wasn't until digital cameras and later cellphones that we saw a huge improvement.
I sure do miss the 90s and early 2000’s. My favorite is the Northwest DC-10 I’ve flown so many and worked so many while I worked for Northwest. I miss flying on them you don’t get much widebody service to the West Coast any longer. The red eyes to Minneapolis in Detroit from LA were especially nice.
William Aguiar Aviation didn't change forever since 2001. Airport security was stepped up and planespotting became suddenly difficult in the United States. That's about it if you ask me. Today more and more people fly and continue to fly.
TANAY.NICE GLAD TO SEE SOME MEMORABLE DC10 .MD 11 BOTH THIS PLANES DEZINE ARE SAME BUT LITTLE SIZE DEFFRENCE BACK WHEN AIRPORT LIKE FULL NOISE WITH PLANES 2001 MY CHILDHOOD.
2:53 - What is going on here.. aircraft going around, because another plane is landing on the intersecting runway.. was that how it was back then? Just open up every single runway!?!?! Woah!!
2:08 I had a heart attack cause I thought that plane was a delta plane but I actually had to pause it and play it frame by frame before I realized it was an Air Canada DC-9 😂
40 years ago, 25/5/79 American Flight 191 took off from Chicago O'Hare bound for LAX. It never made it. On takeoff one of the engines of the DC-10 detached and sent the aircraft into a 90 degree bank. Poor maintenance was to blame for the 273 fatalities.
@1LuckyGuy 40Ladies reminds me of United Flight 232 on July 19 1989. Here again a DC-10 crash-landed at Sioux City, Iowa, after suffering a catastrophic failure of its #2engine, which led to the loss of the hydraulic system.
@@vieuxbal1253 Thank heavens they don't put large engines on the tail of commercial jets these days! An uncontained fan blade ejection would rip the horizontal and vertical stabilizer to shreds resulting in inevitable loss of control. Remember Turkish 981? Cargo door blew open and put the DC-10 in a nosedive. 346 fatalities. RIP
Of all all the plane crashes I've studied, Flight 191 (1979) is by far the worst one of the lot. The worst part was that the takeoff was shown to the passenger cabin on screens. They watched their own deaths.
Bring back the tri-jet. With engine efficiency now, imagine what a beast of an aircraft you could get in airborne with, for example, 3x GE9X. Make it about 1.7 times the length of an A380, but shorten the rear, top floor a couple meters to make room for a giant, fuselage shaped, S-duct to get enough air to the rear engine. The top of the duct would be flush with the fuselage width and go half way around the top, making it sleek and with the most efficient utilization of shape and weight. Bring the wings back to keep the AOA proper and make them folding like the 777X. The result could be the most efficient, longest range commercial aircraft... ever.
@@vieuxbal1253 Thanks, and I wish I could draw, but imagine a totally flush, fuselage shape until the last 2 or 3 meters of the back, top half, drop off with about a 2' clearance, exactly half way around the fuselage. My theory is, that shape would accomplish saving weight, allowing enough air for a GE9X to reach the rear engine, and keep the sleek look of the plane whole, but having the top of the duct the exact same shape as the fuselage. Then calculate the total thrust of 3 of those bad-boys and figure the wing loading and MTOW capability, and build a HUGE aircraft accordingly, with one shortened version for an "LR" type. 500+ people, SYD to JFK with added space for commercial cargo, conservatively.
At least the passenger ones they're Intercontinental flights for sure, so they are bound to have high take off weights. In fact the DC-10 had more pounds of thrust per pound of weight than the 747.
@@mirrormirroronthewall1905 There is nothing to look at if you don't know what the take off weight is at any given time. Simple math will give you the answer. Add the maximum thrust of the engines, and divide typical MTOW by that figure. For a typical DC-10-30, it would be 570000 lbs TOW divided by 150000 lbs of thrust; for a 747-200, with the same GE engines, it would be 810000 lbs TOW divided by 200000 lbs of thrust. That will give you the ratio of power vs. weight. Then get familiar with the TO Flex feature of the DC-10; you enter weight, temperature, wind and runway length in the computer, and it will give you the thrust that you need for a successful take off. Taking off at 97% N1 instead of 100 or 105% will save tons of money in engine wear and tear and maintenance expenses.
I meant their performance at near MTOW like using most of 11000 ft runways but thanks for the lecture anyway, and your absolutely right about considering their TOW and thrust.
Compare the Sabena MD-11 with any of the Continental DC-10s. The MD-11 has a longer fuselage, the tail end has the shape of a slot screwdriver (like the B777), the stabilizers are smaller and most visible, it has winglets that the DC-10 does not have.
I watched the tv series Mayday and I saw an episode about the Concorde crash where a Continental Airlines DC-10's debris was a contributing factor to the engine explosion
@@tymgames8307 Its sad that a DC-10 unintentionally cast a stain on the Concorde, because before this accident, the Concorde had a stellar safety history with absolutely no serious accidents
That whole thing was negligence from the start. Continental maintenance used an improper part to repair an engine nacelle on the DC-10. Air France maintenance forgot to replace an axle spacer on the starboard landing gear leaving the wheels wobbling. Witnesses saw flames from that landing gear long before it hit the metal strip. And the plane was veering left and unable to gain speed... almost hit a 747 waiting to take off! I find it difficult to find fault with the DC-10 or Concorde for that terrible tragedy. The combination of a couple of apparently small maintenance errors proved deadly.
The DC-10 story reminds me of that of the 737 MAX. Both had MAJOR teething problems to say the least. I just can't get over the fact the DC-10 outsold the L1011 TriStar a far superior aircraft. 🤔
@@dave_riots The DC-10 suffered three major accidents when it began to fly. American Airlines 96 with no fatalities, Turklish Airlines 981 with 346 fatalities and American Airlines 191 with 273 fatalities , making it the worst air disaster in US history
Once they fixed the cargo door issue and got airlines to stop cutting corners on maintenance, the DC-10 went on to be one of the safest planes ever built. The DC 10-40 has a perfect safety record!
@@Dana_Danarosana That is true, ever since there have been no more accidents that have cast a stain on the DC-10's reputation, except the crash of United Airlines 232
