As a long time pilot, 40+ years as a private, military and commercial pilot, I found this video painful to watch. It seems almost as if they just made up answers rather than bothering to do some research. There was usually some bit of truth to the answers but the answers were extremely simplistic, incomplete and often contradictory. Just some examples: 1.why are wings on commercial aircraft on the bottom? Well some passenger airliners have the engines on the bottom, some have them on top. Some cargo aircraft have the wings on top, some have them on the bottom. Some fighters have the wings in the middle, some have the wings on the top, some have the wi gs on the bottom, for a variety of reasons. 2. Why do the pilots and flight attendants and most private planes have lap and shoulder harnesses but passengers on commercial flight usually do not (except often in first and business class) because the airlines want to spend the least amount possible and want the least weight possible on safety gear. So it's clearly better to have a 4 way harness, as the pilots of most airliners and military aircraft wear, but most of the passengers just get the bare minimum lap belt. 3. Engines on the wing has been a thing since the first 707 airliners in the late 50s, not a new development that followed tail mounted engines. And there was no sudden drop in air fares when the the 727s, with their rear mounted engines, went out of service. Most business jets still use tail mounted engines, because they are quieter, but so do many smaller airliners. I could go on and on but the bottom line, simplistic, untrue, incomplete, and just plain made up answers posing as the real deal.
#15 ignores that modern phones don't disturb the plane controls even without airplane mode and that the instruments are now less sensitive to interference too. #16 contradicts the fact that there had already been movies playing in planes for a long time, and that we've been able to get TV on individual seats in some planes for years too (with the only key difference being that they can interrupt their signal in an emergency). And when asking why some wings are lower, he shows us a picture of them basically in the middle height.
Some planes actually have seats with shoulder belts. Those are usually business and first class seats since they often are placed diagonally from the direction of travel.
4:47 i don't mean to criticize anybody but actually the the turbulence caused by the wing vortices of another plane is much harder than the exhaust stream
Jo Jo no way this video was only posted on the 31st of January and the chances of two people viewing this video, then going on the same flight to the same airport and actually listening to bright side’s tips are so low. I think he just said it to give us a laugh.
that would never happen in a real life scenario, most people will go to the lane that is shortest and fastest because they’re impatient and don’t want to wait. the didnt really research much for this video
The seatbelts are to keep passengers from falling out of their seats, not to safeguard passengers in a real accident. Notice the flight attendants have shoulder belts and the pilots have shoulder belts. On military aircraft, the crews wear shoulder belts. On civilian airliners, passengers would complain over comfort. If the belts were not properly adjusted, they would not be beneficial anyway.
5:35 on Cruise Ships, why couldn’t use any kinds of transmitters (including HAM RADIOS, BABY MONITORS, FM TRANSMITTERS, except for low powered walkie talkies ??
You've forgotten parts of it. You have nothing to do. I sometimes forget I've seen them till I look at a few. It s a fairly good show, and they'll have new stuff soon.
#16 contradicts the fact that there had already been movies playing in planes for a _long_ time, and that we've been able to get TV on individual seats in some planes for years too (with the only key difference being that they can interrupt their signal in an emergency).
For people that didn’t understand the flamethrower in a air balloon : When your near a heater or whatever your body is warm but you notice your feet are cold thats because cold air is heavy where it drops while hot air is lighter where it goes up if you look at water vapour that is hot air technically so you see that it goes up
#9 addendum: because that's where the center of gravity for the plane is so that flight attendants can seat passengers there if empty seats are available and reduce fuel costs.
It’s a lot harder to feel which direction and which way you are pointed towards in the air. You won’t notice. Believe it or not, if there is heavy clouds and you are pointed directly at the ground or inverted, you might not even notice until you leave the cloud layer.
Wing position doesn't really have too much of an affect on speed. High mounted wings are more stable which is why they are used on many lighter aircraft. Low mounted wings while less stable are better structurally for large wings. Many fighter aircraft have high or mid mounted wings to make up for the extremely unstable anhedral wings. It is not faster to have the wings in any specific position.
Great video, but: #16 "getting passengers' attention"? The last flight I was on had a screen where I could watch movies. #20 I'm always asked to keep my window shade shut because it's an attempt to help people to adjust to the time zone upon landing (when crossing the Pacific Ocean). #23 Dragon Air, Thai Airlines, and Cathay Pacific have given me great food (as far as airline food goes). I wasn't disappointed at all. Keep up the good videos, BRIGHT SIDE!!!!
For your info the static discharger wire is installed on the rear of the wing near wingtip of the acft left and righ wing for lightning strike protection..
To last question: Actually due to time dilatation caused by gravity the time in flying aircraft has different speed than time on ground. So the people traveling in the aircraft are a bit older.
Minute 7:20 The lights are turned off so that they can easily navigate while leaving ? But passengers dont usually leave their seats often to begin with.
The reason for airlines not allowing you to use your phone during flights isnt because it affects the planes equipment. It is because the radio waves from the phone interfere with the radios signals between air control and the plane and between other air craft. They need to comunicate to navigate the airways and cant if someones phone has an incoming call or message. You can still use your phone to play games or listen to pre instaled music but only on airplane mode which turns off your ability to make and receive calls and cuts off you wifi.
The small triangles on the wall are really a marking where pilots can view the wing to make sure they haven't collected ice over night. The landing gear indicators have been phased out and arent on any modern commercial aircraft anymore.
Guys, do you always wear your seatbelt?
BRIGHT SIDE yes-

The dirtiest place is actually the headrest
Check out the pen holes on the inside of the windows of an air plane, it is there to equalize the air pressure between the double panes of glass.
Thank you for this information because I am going on a plane next year
Bright side: Are you interested in Aeronautics🤔?
Me:🤣 Yeah me too.
For people that didn’t understand the flamethrower in a air balloon :
When your near a heater or whatever your body is warm but you notice your feet are cold thats because cold air is heavy where it drops while hot air is lighter where it goes up if you look at water vapour that is hot air technically so you see that it goes up

4:50 this is called wake turbulence
Love this channel
My dad is a pilot in south Africa I live here to my dad is now 6 months in Nigeria
Bright side: yah a plane can fly with one engine and it'll leen slight aside.... But passengers won't notice
Me: wait..... What!!!
Shajina Prasanth you most likely won't notice because the pilot has moved the rudder trim accordingly
source - xplane pilot
Boi trust me you will feel it when it explodes or starts to shake (which makes the entire plane shake a LOT and make the plane lose energy)
Why
It’s a lot harder to feel which direction and which way you are pointed towards in the air. You won’t notice. Believe it or not, if there is heavy clouds and you are pointed directly at the ground or inverted, you might not even notice until you leave the cloud layer.
AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH
6:09 but some planes have TVs built into the seat
Yes, but the video will pause whenever they make an announcement, so you are forced to listen to it. That won't happen on your cell phone.
Thanks a lot. Awesome knowledge shared.
am I the only one blown away by 05:00?

3:48 he actually said that a car impact is much greater than an airplane crash; thus don’t have shoulder straps
0:40 you can make bombs with just only 0,5liters of water
I need to know how
@@esalvador4197 i dont know how but thats why thy do IT
Pause and go to 1:56 the plane on the right is an x- 29 and that plane is not in service with the military
12:17 u forgot if we apply any colour it will weigh more thus more danger.
Your videos are great cep the hard work you are the best
wow i learned so much already as an aspiring pilot.

I like your video s u most like a scientist
7:46 why is he happy? the guy on the right looks died!
Idk.
For your info the static discharger wire is installed on the rear of the wing near wingtip of the acft left and righ wing for lightning strike protection..
very interesting, thank you

I've learnt a lot and I've liked and subscribed all ur videos. Thx bright side
There are facts [in this video] that are wrong
Why do the lights get dimmer
Me : darkness is my spirit
1:20 747-400F, 747-8F, 777F, 767F, MD-11F and so on, they all have low wings.
5:13
engine 1 dose not work work
Oh yea
Airplanes are really an example of Extreme Modern Engineering and Physics.....
1:30 did he just say hull it’s called a fuselage
Some planes don’t have fuselages
To last question: Actually due to time dilatation caused by gravity the time in flying aircraft has different speed than time on ground. So the people traveling in the aircraft are a bit older.
Why does this give me a watch mojo vibe
Minute 7:20 The lights are turned off so that they can easily navigate while leaving ?
But passengers dont usually leave their seats often to begin with.
“Can a plane fly with 1 engine?”
“Yes”
Me: A380?! WITH 1 ENGINE?!
@oyeahyeahairlisnes boeing can to
Great work, Bright Side
Who did this voice over?
What's his name?
👏👏👏
So when you fall hundreds of feet in an air plane the impact is less strong than when two cars hit each other?
love your channel bright side you teach me more then my teacher
AND ANOTHER FUN FACT : The oxygen masks drop automatically once the cabin altitude reahes 14.000 ft
It's amazing! Tqu so much for ur inspiration 😊
There was one time I was seating in a plane, I farted and.... the oxygen mask dropped
Thats alot of damage
Hahahaha😂😂
LOL, that’s probably one of the funniest jokes I have heard online 🤣
😂😂
Damage 100

That rule no longer really applies anymore due to technological advances, but to rewrite that rule is too much of a hassle so they keep it that way.
The small triangles on the wall are really a marking where pilots can view the wing to make sure they haven't collected ice over night. The landing gear indicators have been phased out and arent on any modern commercial aircraft anymore.
Y3eww
3:01
That is also indicating where the wing’s rear- and front attachments are located. That’s why there are two triangles on each wall.

Nice, when asking why some wings are lower, he shows us a picture of them basically in the middle height.
The planes with engines on the tail, had more castestrophic accidents, that the real reason they were abandoned.
