    I flew as a young man with my father on an Air Canada L1011 to Europe with those exact 3 engines. My dream is not a Porche. But rather one of those beautiful engines in my family room. Their power, their roar, their elegance……. Yep… it’s a man’s stupid world. Cheers from Montreal,Canada….

    Wow. This thing used to run at high power, hour after hour at minus 50 degrees in the stratosphere, day in, day out. I know enough about jet engines to know the fuel burn at sea level, even at idle, is insane... good on you for doing this.

    This is by far the most ridiculous (and most fantastic) thing I've seen on CZcams - you could only best it by firing a Saturn V rocket in that backyard. I was nearly without words until ...
    Question: what was the fuel cost of this "Spring Crank Up?" You folks have disposable income I'm quite jealous of.
    This video is by far a favourite, in no small part due to childhood nostalgia. In the late 70s - early 80s, I wandered the isles of the ElTenEleven during transatlantic flights - the parents traveled an awful lot.
    I still remember the terribly bad earphone audio of the in-flight videos, and the dual lead headphone jacks to watch the CRT RGB projection movies; I opted for the Casey Kasem narrated in-flight documentaries, using the analogue channel selector. All that to drown out the sweet music of these RR jet engines! How foolish.
    Good times.

    Great video! Love to see the old engines still running. I am not an engineer, but I was a ramp rat for many years. The guy with the camerahas a death wish or is completely oblivious to the power of an RB211 even at idle. Especially because the engine is mounted lower than when normally mounted on an L1011. @4:40 WTF!!
    Even a JT8D on a 737-200 can suck you in at idle. I'm the last person to talk safety but I had to add my 2 cents. Don't want to see such a cool project ruined by sucking in a guy and his camera equipment. However, that would make a viral video. :}

    • @cgsouthern
      @cgsouthern Před 6 lety +11

      So true, I work on 757's and would never dare get that close to the inlet at idle let alone at power. You need to come from the side just aft of the gear box and forward of the c duct.

      Isn't that the truth. I can't tell if he either has some brass cojones the size of watermelons, or is incredibly stupid. These guys and their equipment are way too close to the mouth of that turbofan, talk about reckless. I'm surprised dude didn't get turned into ground beef. That'd be like getting pulled into a wood chipper. When I saw that I thought holy hell, you did not just walk up to the mouth of a running turbofan. The close up video of that spinner isn't worth the risk of ingestion. Someone needs to show him the video of the aircraft carrier flight deck guy that approached an A-6 Intruder, that was on the catapult preparing for takeoff, and he was standing instead of stooping and got sucked into the intake. Lucky for him the airflow sensor caught his vest and only his helmet and goggles went through the engine causing it to spit blades and flames out the nozzle. The pilot shut it down and the guy was able to crawl back out. Said he could barely breath it was sucking so much air. His head was just inches from the intake stator vanes of that JT8A/J52-P8B turbojet.

    In another video you can see that they are using the main engine mounts to help support the engine in that trailer.
    I would still be leary of taking that much above idle, due to the chance of damaging the cases where the ground handling/trailer mounts attach.
    Not to mention it might end up in the next town sucking all that nice equipment in the intake as it heads off down the road.
    Love how the RB211-22 rumbles as it transitions to idle after it lights off, great sound.

      Joe's RC Planes Yeah, it wasn't a real startup... Just a fake video to show that they have the coolest toys... Why would anyone waste money on jet fuel to start up an engine in the middle of a fucking field???

      Joe's RC Planes A 10,000 pound running jet engine hanging on that flimsy steel stand?? No, BUSTED! Not buying it, never will.

    Next time my neighbour comes to complain about something I'm going to send him this clip and tell him to STFU.

    Very impressive! I wonder if the engine can be heard in nearby Cardiff when it's run up on test? It would be very interesting to see and hear some of the rest of your remarkable collection - especially the smaller jet engines - Many thanks from Rob G3XFD.
