      You backwards fools still using Metric. Should switch over to the true Imperial system. Metric is only used by 94.3%(This number made up but should be close) of the world and makes people lazy because it is so easy and logical. Plus with metric there are less chances for mistakes and less drama so you metric using fools have to suffer driving over bridges and using infrastructure that is probably fine. No adrenaline rushes or mars orbiter crashes for you. Fools one and all.

      @犬井いぬい 5 лет назад +15

      Mark Sandstrom GE9X is able to produce more thrust than GE90 when pushed to the limit. They just proved that during testing. The lower thrust rating is in place to prolong engine lifetime and save fuel since the lighter 777X doesn’t need that much power

    • @marksandstrom4248
      @marksandstrom4248 5 лет назад +1

      @@犬井いぬい are you sure that GE90-115B at triple redline makes less thrust than GE9X at triple redline? Neither would be a case that has anything to do with real operation in commercial service. And if the 9X's capability were that much, it would tend to indicate an over-designed engine that is either heavier and/or more expensive than it needs to be.

    I’m not sure if it’s entirely accurate to state a 747 needs all cf6’s to stay airborne. Sure it would struggle to take off on a normal runway with say 2 or 3 engines, but once at cruise it can cope.

    • @andys2831
      @andys2831 5 лет назад +10

      Hi....all multi-engine commercial a/c have to be able to perform with one engine in-operative. Hence on take-off the certificated performance includes assuming one engine fails (usually at V1 speed as most critical point).....so the 747 can take-off on three, the 777 on one engine etc. This is why with all engines operating (hopefully always) the twins typically climb faster than quads. Not everything about quads is bad, a twin with an engine failure HAS TO divert to the nearest airfield, whereas as legally a quad with one engine out can continue to destination or elsewhere

    • @marksandstrom4248
      @marksandstrom4248 4 года назад

      just as an intellectual exercise (it would be foolhardy plus illegal to actually do it) I'm curious about the case of 1-engine-out starting right at brake release at the beginning of the runway, at an offloaded gross weight and optimal center of gravity. but then you'd have to think about the case of unexpectedly losing one additional engine during that takeoff, and the exercise ends up being just chasing your tail... Possibly the true answer is, we cannot know.

    I went to Line Replaceable Unit (LRU) training at the Customer Technical Education Center (CTEC) in Cincinnati in 1997 for the CF6. I was working on the KC-10 at the time. We got side information on the GE90 while there. There was also an ex test engine for training available on-site too. Those four foot plus long blades weigh nothing, especially compared to any other metallic fan blade. One of the other things they told us at the time was, when the first it went to the take off power setting in the test cell. The expected thrusted was supposed to be around 90K plus. Instead it exceeded 100k and they were just getting started. Oh yeah, Go Duke!

It was on a big low boy trailer and took up almost two lanes. The thing looked as big as a house. You don’t really appreciate how big engines like that are until you’re driving by one in a little car.

    I've always wondered why boeing never considered doing a re engine of their 747-8i as a twin jet with 2 very large engines such as the GE90, it would require a new wing, but it would be so much more efficient. Maybe a new design based on one of these airframes would make more sense, but anyway, it would put these very large jets in a whole new category of efficiency.

    Wider engines introduce a variation within a turn of the engine [fan]...higher speed incoming in the fuselage proximate air stream, rather than the slower general air speed away from the plane's body. This may be causing some of the challenging 'fatigue' failures in the fan's blades.

    I don’t think the 777X is lighter - not sure about EOW, but I know it’s MTOW is actually the same as the 777-300ER. The original wing just really hindered the performance of the 777 by the time it grew to that size.

  • @MegaWingman7
    @MegaWingman7 4 года назад

    The 9X set the record for max thrust, its only rated at 105k lbs of thrust because that’s the max thrust chip installed. Just an FYI, the 115s are all down chipped to 105 now as well

    After thinking about thrust and jet engines, it seems as if the actual thrust comes from the intake fan from the front. The jet stream in the back is a by product of the thrust which is actually from pulling the plane forward through the air…IDK….any thoughts?

  • @TheComp_Troller
    @TheComp_Troller 5 лет назад +2

    3:36 - lies!! The 747 doesn’t “require” power from all 4 engines to stay airborne! It can do it with just 2, the others are for safety and redundancy!
    Also the GE9X is not as robust as the GE90... requriring a lot more maintenance and monitoring to make sure it’s running smoothly and more prone to engine failures (see 777X engine issues)!
