James May would have been drooling over the technical specs of that engine
If James may had to service that engine it would take 30 years. 10 years to organize the spanners and 8 years to read the manual and 12 years for the service.
James May would be talking about every part of the engine in so extreme detail that it would take 100 years for him to explain how it works.
May, would, might... whatever.
Clarkson would be hitting it with a hammer
Richard hammond walking on the wing of a cessna 172 at 0:06 is pretty cool
Lol nice
I think it’s closer to one of those ultralight trikes
That's actually just the wing of a spitfire.
Look even closer, it is a parachute
That’s not a cessna plane- cessnas are Wayyyy smaller 😭
@@greek9244 r/whooosh
1:17 You know, this kinda goes for every aircraft, regardless of it's size.
On tonight's episode of Top Gear,
Richard talks to a man,
Richard stands by a plane,
and Richard wears a hat
And hammond make a dent on a huge plane.
JSJSJSJS
I can just hear clarksons voice reading this
lol so true
They should have shown that the planes can carry tanks, two of them I believe and then some. I got a ride in a Galaxy during one of my tours over in Iraq. The inside of the plane is like walking into a High School basketball court. The space inside is incredible.
6:03 come on, we both know how this thing can get up the hill much faster... 😄
Go Gadget go!
Unfortunately, it's pointed the wrong way. But if you ever wanted to go 300 mph in reverse, there you go.
@@schwarzwolfram7925 Yeah or like.. turn it around? xD
Richard, you're a treasure. As is the rest of the original and best Top Gear crew. You may have replacements, but never successors.
This has the most asmr tapping of any episode
I love the sound of those engines I live next of a military base and every time I hear that sound I know for sure it’s the mighty C-5Galaxy…
Gee awesome development on those jet engines
Thank you for Sharing

Hammond bringing back the og content
Come on guys we all know that is just a toy plane he is just small
Best comment
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Harks back to the Airbus A380 on Engineering Connections in his Discovery Channel days.
This guy is the epitome of a Narrator
When I was younger my dad took my to a Tennessee Titans football game. The flyover was a galaxy and it was one of the coolest things I've ever seen. These things are HUGE.
The bypass air creates a tube of air that directs thrust. He forgot to mention that.
12 years had the engine been on the plane 😳 12 years with landings, take-off, any type of weather, and we just jump into them and fly on holiday.... That's pretty amazing 👏
Love all of the vids 🙏🙏
❤️❤️❤️ beautiful video ❤️❤️❤️
How can find full series of this doc
vpn to Australia and watch on Discovery.
Or be a pirate.
Your choice.
Hammond make a SR-22 looks like a C-5. Imagine what it would look like if he's on an actual C-5
Funny how every time they made a video and Hammond goes inside a room or any place, he looks really really tinny 😅🤷♂️
So.. no one is going to tell him his hard hat is backwards? Lol
I must admit I was impressed the first time I saw the honeycomb aluminium and carbon fibre being cut with a water jet!
Great content 😃
Brit, on Aus TV, filming US Military planes.
Nice
The C-5 was a horrible boondoggle of a project, over budget, behind schedule, and under performing. (Part of this was on congress and DOD, not just Lockheed) The C-5 max normal-service load was reduced by a third in the late 70s because of major fatigue issue in the primary frame. (they can still use original design load for emergency service but then need more inspecting and have reductions in service life)
The c-17 is a much better plane, the C-5 is retained only as a reserve for use with over-sized cargo, if they can use two C-17s instead of one C-5 they will just to keep the hours low on the remaining C-5 fleet.
I can remember when the first two centre fuselages for F/A18 production arrived at Avalon in a C5 back in the 1980'3. It is an imposing beasty of an aircraft. i remember the loadmaster asking how high we wanted the aircraft to enable unloading. We said said leave it where it is as our unloader was adjustable for height. It was the first one the loadmaster had seen and we had borrowed it off Qantas.
Entire engine following Bernoulli's principal
In the wind tunnel
Steve looking like the guy from dodgeball
Broooo😂🤣
The engine looks like an engine on a Podracer from Star Wars
6:49 Dyno tuning
the next revolution (he) being geared turbo fans, where the core can run at higher rpms than the fan in front.
Fritz I work for the company that makes the only geared turbo fan engine. I asked if we were going to venture into the heavy aircraft game and the answer was no. There are far more single aisle planes sold and is more profitable.
Hope that changes.
Just thinking how out of date this would be if they reverse engineer anti gravity
Sabulba is not gonna appreciate his pod racer being out of commission for 90 days
It think the bypass will create cooling and more coling from the frezzeing in the cruing alt
Why is discovery Australia doing a piece on us military equipment? Is it like how discovery in the us focuses on other places in the world
Because it's interesting?
I think it was just aired and/or uploaded by them but probably made in Britain or the U S
Richard Hammond, with the Air Force of his adopted country.
6:09 that whirlpool or winds logo? They the ones pulling the strings?!?
the logos on the buildings?
@@gnranger yes
@@Jamikeus that would be the General Electric Logo
6:09 what logo is that on the building? plz help
General Electric
@@a1bc095 ty kind sir, I thought it was kellogg's
Why's Hammond wearing safety goggles in the GE jet engine computer control room!?
😄 Safety firtst! 😊
@@TRiX_ONE His Choice
Its called a turbo fan engine jet engines have afterburners
First cuz the first guy said firat
c-130 hercules super galaxy is what i'm going to name my cane corso.
I loved him in The Hobbit.
Imagine an "Ambitious but Rubbish" project, where Clarkson, Hammond and May attempt to design and build their own version of a high thrust turbo fan jet engine 😐
they did make a rocket
Called sheet metal engineers lol
Me too
“Americans just know big heavy and muscle”
Pretty sire that high bypass engines was a result of nasa jpl research, not ge
Hexagon is bestagon
SOMEBODY MAKE HIM STAND INSIDE THE GE9x PLLLEEEASE.....
Amening
Man James mat and Hammond made a series, what happened to Jeremy
Becoma a farmer?
@@sputnikfreshie3601 but did he make a series about it, thats the question
Is it just me or does the host kind of look like an English Al Pacino
I really loved this subject in Engineering, but I did bad due to circumstances 😒 I wonder if i can get back to the field again?
Hamster ape and captain slow
They should’ve shown the strike testing with frozen turkeys lol search it..
that's not a plane that's a planet.
Ha, they show the new 9X engine being tested. That project is my day job.
Can you tell me more?
I know for gods sake scaffolding can be cheaper than 9 mil.
BTW, the turbofan concept was invented by a Russian engineer in 1949.
A cars Catalytic converter is a honeycomb a foot long but has the surface area of a football field
"42 tons of Air ", How can air be weighed or measured ? Pls don't crucify me ,I'm not a science guy.
The easiest way to weigh air is really simple.
You take a gas bottle (like the ones for a camping cooker) fill it with air (just let the valve open), close the valve and then weigh the gas bottle.
Then you pump out the air, close the valve and weigh it again.
The difference is the air that you have pumped out. You can measure the volume of the gas bottle and there you have the weight of air per liter.
Under normal pressure and temperatures air weighs around 1.2g.
First measurements with that methods are from ~1650
What kind of Samsung product is this
didnt rolls royce first develope the bypass engine?
RR = Rotating Rubbish
Can one buy these honey comb aluminum sheets? Guess not..
Hardware Stores
All day long, check amazon. Nothing special about it today.
Why does it look like stewie in the corner on the thumbnail
If they paid that much for that tiny amount of scaffolding?
Someone got their pockets lined. I’ve seen skyscrapers done for that much.
Effin government.
this is actually just a toy model plane being tested in a small shed.
i realized this when i saw hammond next to it for scale
Fith
Is he hosting the show because he is famous or because he has engineering knowledge?
Because he knows how to present .

Its funny how he crashges a car in top gear and ground tour but not in this

The tan millimeter rarely arrange because debtor morphometrically scold over a dapper play. tame, ordinary warm
True, so true....
The painful mercury aerobically scrub because hygienic complimentarily encourage with a soggy drill. truthful, entertaining cost
hmm, yes, I see what you mean....
The unsuitable minibus originally saw because cover perceptually announce given a rhetorical ostrich. quarrelsome, erratic record
er, sure - I go along with that...
The gabby court pathophysiologically crush because vermicelli unprecedentedly squeeze over a overrated cyclone. lamentable, mindless hot
