      syngyne just the sound of the fuel igniting and spinning the fan over. The initial sound is the apu. The apu then spins the motor and once the fan speed reaches a certain speed the pilot advances the throttle to idle providing the ignition and sound you described

    • @hoaxial2090
      @hoaxial2090 5 лет назад +3

      The sound of those inlets basically. That squared front leads to a more rounded tube to the intake which makes it sounds like a hum/moo. If you hear a 737 start-up you can kind of hear it but since the inlet is very short, it’s more of a vibration than anything

      Those are the spoilers, meant to slow down the aircraft faster after it lands. after that, they put out the air refueling nozzle, which is used with fuel carrier planes so that the aircraft can refuel mid-air.

    Why did they fold the wings before taxiing? Seems rather redundant considering they'll be unfolding them again a few moments later.

    • @michaelloder5150
      @michaelloder5150 5 лет назад

      I may be wrong , but I think they do that for a few reasons, when taxing out depending upon crosswinds during taxing, it kind of stablizes the jet during taxing so the plane doesn't tip if there is a strong crosswind doesnt push down on the wing, at the wing tip but pushes the air over the wing.

    • @flyingfatcats517

      there are probably multiple reasons but one of them being: folding the wings allows the nose wheel steering to go into high gain mode which lets the plane turn tighter on the ground
