It looks a lot like the GE90 from the front because of the chevrons and I actually thought it was a GE90 at first but when I looked at the landing gear it wasn't the 777's so I looked at the title.
I've always been curious, when your standing that distance from a jet engine, can you like feel it sucking in air like a vacuum around you? or do you have to be really close for that.
I have seen safety sheets for much less powerful engines than this one advising people to stay at least 20 feet away from the intake. I bet this engine could suck you in from 30 feet easily.
As an aviation student I had the chance to be on a pushback of an A321 NEO. I was right next to the landing gear during startup and I couldn't feel the air sucking. I just heard the awesome sound of the ENG start.
Well to teach you a bit of science "technically you don't get Sucket into an engine" you get Pushed in by the High Pressure Zone you are standing in. The engine creates a Low Pressure zone in front of the engine by (yes) sucking in air. The size of that zone depends on the size and force of the engine. High Pressure air wants to expand (as we all know), the Low Pressure zone is ideal to "expand to" and it goes very fast. See it as shaking a Coca-Cola bottle, when opening you don't say it is sucked out of the bottle do you? So standing on the border between them the two pressure zones will result in get pushed in by the expanding high Pressure air! I know everyone calls it Sucked cause it seems so, but scientifically its not correct🙂The Suction of the engine can only create a Low Pressure zone, it cannot suck you in. That is also how wind is created, High Pressure air flows in to Low Pressure air bc it wants to expand.
@@spooky3669 Famous line from Star Trek TNG early in the first series when Data’s character was still being formed. He was envisioned as the ultimate android pedant, so he corrected Riker on this. One question though: you acknowledge air is sucked in, but a person is pushed in. Where is the cutoff? Is dust sucked in?
Its not like s rocket where you see the big plume of fire as the engine explodes into life. All that fire is contained well within the engine. You MIGHT catch a glimpse of it if you're looking straight in from the back of it. But good luck surviving that. With most jet engines, there's a distinct change in sound between the starters revving the engine up, and ignition of the fuel. For this video, that sound change happens at 0:46. I'll see if i can find something a bit more pronnounced and link it here.
Most turbine engines have a sound change when fuel is introduced. Kind of a low humming sound. But it is probably more noticeable from the rear of the engine as the exhaust temperature and pressure are changing. And are directed rearward. From the front all you hear is the fan and the compressor.
The swirling pattern in the middle has a couple of benefits: 1) keeps those on the ground from walking in to the intake area and 2) keeps birds from intentionally flying into the intake--sometimes it works well, and others (US1549) it doesn't, just depends on which direction the birds are flying in relation to the aircraft.
Annoyingly you set up on engine 2 so we heard all the sounds of engine 1 starting whilst looking at engine 2 that was windmilling a lot ? A non av enthusiast would not understand what’s happening & what the noises are.
As far as I remember, the APU was not operational that day so engine 2 was started on the stand, hence the two extra GPUs under the fuselage. Engine 1 was then started once engine 2 was running as it could provide the required electrical power to the starters.

I worked at GE Aircraft Engines in the early 90’s. Amazing something so large can be so precisely engineered.
It is 2022 - the human population should be able to make something that is highly crafted!
Most people have no idea how awesome these engines are
That’s because most people don’t work on planes
@@philiposejoby and even fewer on plane engines
truly a shame
Most people don’t know anything. Just regurgin stuff they heard.
@@undertow2142 And you know what you're talking about? I presume you have a PhD in aerospace engineering. 🤡
Still has that iconic humming low bass during start up. But it doesn't sounds like its predecessor, the GE90.
It's a great sound, especially being that close. You can feel it in your chest.
GenX replaced the cf6

it sounds
amazing
Comments: sounds so good

Music to my ears.
Just beautiful :D
Until I worked for UPS air I never realized what amazing engines these are. Now I'm obsessed.
Love ❤️ the sound
At 1:08 the rpm became divisible by the frame rate of the camera so it just looks stationary
Not sure of the diameter, but looks close to the size of a MD-80 or 737 fuselage! Huge!
The fan diameter is 282cm
These are the babies, the new GE 9x is the width of an A320 fuselage.
It's funny to see fan blades rolling left and right 😄
Cool 😎 Thanks for sharing 👍
Dude this is great
That would make a great alarm to wake up to.

Time stamp for where the vortex is pls I can’t find it
Can't help but wonder: how come the plane doesn't look it's going to start rolling? The engine looks like it's producing thrust after all
Ever heard of Parking Brakes???
Plus, the engine is not pushed hard enough at that stage to combat friction and get the aircraft moving. It will take more revs than that to move it.
Do you know how much force it takes to get half a million pounds to move from standing still?
@@Alexius1Komnenos No, but I have a feeling I'm about to find out)
Like when does it actually fire up? It's not like you see flames co ing out the back or a big puff of smoke
Not unless it's a fresh rebuild or full of preservation oil. You don't want flames or high EGTs in a turbine.
Its not like s rocket where you see the big plume of fire as the engine explodes into life.
All that fire is contained well within the engine.

At what point is fuel started and the engine starter motor dis-engaged? Does the audio signature tell us?

Where’s the vortex?
I can smell this video
I didn’t see a vortex
vortex was very small, right at 1:59
Yeah it's quite faint, just at the bottom left of the cowling
Wowee is that WHAT i Think it is?!
No vortex!
I think evil knievil could fit thru that bypass omg
I don't think it's GEnx,as far as I know the GEnx is the next generation 777x's choice~
GE9X is for the 777x
@@maximilianreid8015 correct~
GEnX and GE9X are not the same things
The GENX are the engines used on the 747-8i/f and 787 family
What is the swirling pattern in the middle
It's to add some visual movement so people don't walk into it. ...in case they are deaf. ...and stupid.

We have thrust!
Who sings Sister Christian when “Motoring” displays during engine start? 🙋🏻♂️
Where was this filmed?
EIDW
0:45 fuel ignites
GENx = CF6 + GE90
On one hand it sucks, and on the other it blows.
Funny how two words meaning the opposite can actually mean the same!
@@passenger6735 Kinda like driving on a parkway and parking in a driveway?
Like watching paint dry.
For a real thrill turn the volume down.
Perhaps you should write to GE and let them know that their engine start-up procedure is too boring. 🤡

It is the 777 I think

Nope, 787. Look at the landing gear. They’re double trucks, not triple.

A non av enthusiast would not understand what’s happening & what the noises are.

B787 doesn't requiere pneumatic air starter 😁
It relies on 2 extra Ground Power Units to start an engine, that's the coolest part of the Dreamliner.
