The most amazing thing that I find with modern jet turbine engines are the bearings that support all the weight of those many moving parts. Literally tonnes of metal being held in place vertically and yet still being fluid enough to turn radially. I've had the honour of working with these marvels of aerospace in the past, and let's just say that there's a reason that they have to use clamps and covers on the front LPC to stop them from moving in even the lightest of winds. I was stood in front of a fully assembled Trent 1000 an age ago before it left the overhaul facility, and I was told to simply place my pinky finger on one of the blades. It moved at the lightest touch. Now imagine that same engine being sat on a runway in high winds. Those things would spin like it was nobody's business. Modern bearings are an engineering achievement of themselves.
Great comment! The bearings are also bearing all that thrust and transferring it to the frame of the engine! Same with car wheel bearings, on a smaller scale. All the weight of the car is sitting on those 4 bearings and all acceleration and braking force is also going through them!
That's just making an analogy a layman who will never be with 5 meters of a jet engine will understand. Plus, those engineers would actually agree and find it funny because they know what they've made.

I was thinking the same thing. Twice the thrust and one engine is enough to fly the 400+ passenger Boeing 777, the third largest passenger airliner in the world.
True, in terms of thrust there's no comparison. However, a GE9X is wider than the fuselage of a 737, and weighs 40,00 pounds....so when we are talking about "making something bigger without making it bigger", that kinda doesn't work haha I don't have time to do the thrust-to-weight calculations, but suffice it to say that the GE9X makes 105,000 lbs of thrust and weighs 40,000 pounds, while a GE CF6-80C2 makes about 55,000 lbs of thrust but weighs less than 10,000 pounds. Impressive!
Funny thing. I was a ground mechanic (glorified gas station attendent) in the Air Force Res. back in the late 70s early 80s. And to keep the engines from rotating while they were on the ground they would put a 2 by 4 with rubber on it in the fan blades. Very high tech.
Without those engines world stop spinning and stug to wrong place at space. After centrifugal forces are gone, ball start to pancake.. Correct If I miss something. I'am so confused, so I start burn five g towers for some reason..
It really is. 100 year old structure still flying. I really wish they had kept a couple SR71's in service. We paid for them. I know they weren't cheap to fly but come on man. That's a national point of pride. Congress isn't cheap either and they are far more worthless and yet we still keep them around.
Dario Impini They don’t really have a use anymore though. At that point you would just be flying them around for the sake of flying them around. I think they’ve earned their retirement by now.

@@artysanmobile Well, that's true but it is not something like telephone or radio or engine...it was just development. So no one really had to claim invention of it. AVCO-Lycoming developed the first one and giving way the cost of such feat no individual could have done it. GE produced first one and that's somewhat more important. That's that settled.

@Dave Pawson - he is. He's totally lost the plot and is in the employ of the climate change cultists. He used to be a naturalist, a scientist - he KNOWS that the Earth has been in a constant state of change for its entire existence of 4.6 billion years and that the animals and ecosystems that currently exist are about 0.001% of the number that have ever existed but he wants to stop the climate changing and keep current ecosystems forever, effectively preventing future lifeforms from getting the chance to exist. He's a moron.
Mark Fox never heard so much bullshit than she one you’re talking The earth was in a constant change, up and down, that is correct. BUT no rise in temperature was as quick as the one that’s happening right now, which is the dangerous thing!
Back when I was in Air Force I stood watch on an engine test/tune on one of these, watch is me about 10’ in front of the plane on a headset to make sure nothing gets sucked in engine. They ran the engine full throttle, wholly crap it sucked up any moisture from the ground in the form of what looked like a tornado and it shook the earth. Rocking up and down watching pebbles bounce was a surreal feeling that I’ll never forget! These thing are no joke
The TF39 was also a hi- bypass engine, it had a thrust of aprox 43k lb of thrust vs the newer CF6 with aprox 50k + lb of thrust. I remember flying on the " A" versions and the engine whine of the TF39s but I admit the increase in (effeciency/ lbs of thrust ) is pretty astounding!
@@yusha27 the SR71 has a very unique engine, there are some videos about that. You could say that depending on the speed the engines switches the way it works.
When the C5a's used to fly into DAFB from the South, they were about 5 miles from my house at a low altitude, and watching them 'float' in the air is incredible.
But the Russians only have 1 of them. Was built to carry the Russian Space Shuttle Buran, but when they discontinued it they turned the plane into a cargo aircraft.
well this is hamsters own show with him being the only host so James or Jeremy wouldn't be on the sow but i think an episode featuring James may would have been interesting
On the road it's a GE9X. On the test stand it's a GE90-100 series. When they are in the control room it's a GE9X again, after they advance the throttles it's a GEnx, then a GE9X again. Then it's back to the CF6-80
They used to back the C-5s up along the flight line at Clark AB, Philippines and when they ran up the engines to taxi, the thrust blew through the barracks which only had slats for walls. It would only last about 10 minutes, so you learned to just get out of the way until it moved. I'd say they were pretty powerful.
@Mahesh M V U it's not a scramjet, it's a turbo ramjet. It's only a scramjet if the air passing through the combustion chamber is supersonic, it's subsonic in the SR71 J58

They ran the engine full throttle, wholly crap it sucked up any moisture from the ground in the form of what looked like a tornado and it shook the earth. Rocking up and down watching pebbles bounce was a surreal feeling that I’ll never forget! These thing are no joke
3:38 it's no more specialised than my toilet. Just a different speciality 😂
10 years later, he will be kidnapped and invent Ironman in the cave.
But he’s not......... don’t worry!
I swear it doesn't take much to amaze the small hamster.
The TF39 was also a hi- bypass engine, it had a thrust of aprox 43k lb of thrust vs the newer CF6 with aprox 50k + lb of thrust. I remember flying on the " A" versions and the engine whine of the TF39s but I admit the increase in (effeciency/ lbs of thrust ) is pretty astounding!
I really thought the thumbnail was Tony Stark and his proton cannon.
How to get a million views on youtube right?! Take a homeless downey jr. and throw some light at the waterjet on a turbine test
Luckily it wasn’t on the back of his car, he has bad memories about them
Ayy lmao.
I don't recall him having any memory of the crash he just remembered waking up in the hospital
ive worked on the GE CF& in highscool, an amazing engine. the only thing you see on the outside is pretty much bleed air valves for the most.
Good video thanks Richard
It's crazy how planes haven't really changed since the 1960s
unless, of course.....you ask the military about the technology (planes) they keep secret, from the tax payers.....
@@Rockin_Roll ha, yeah who knows
Ummmmm bypass engines have been around for a while, it’s kinda like saying we have a new , more efficient way of heating food. A microwave.
H L Yep. They have been around a long time. Did SR 71 also have bypass engines? I
@@yusha27 the SR71 has a very unique engine, there are some videos about that. You could say that depending on the speed the engines switches the way it works.
@@yusha27 nno
Waiting for this
@@yusha27 It's hard to classify the SR71 engine. It might be a bypass engine or it might be a ramjet. It's weird.
When the C5a's used to fly into DAFB from the South, they were about 5 miles from my house at a low altitude, and watching them 'float' in the air is incredible.
there are no C5a's in service
@@captaincrunch72 might not be the "a" version but they definitely have a few C5's there.
Awesome series
If the test chamber is down they attach it to the back of a flatbed and test it on winding uphill road. 3:27
Some guy in the distance: "why is there a truck flying through the sky?"
Thank God it's not called "Jeremy Clarkson's Big" .
Beautiful plane
OMG HE HAS CHANGED SO MUCH FROM WHAT I REMEMBER WATCHING AS A KID!!!!!!
The old TF39 engines sounded so much better than the replacement CF6's...
At least it came back again in GE9X
@@bocahdongo7769 GE9X can never be as good as the TF39 in terms of sound.
...unless you were trying to watch TV :(
@@shahimagesyt But far closer than everyone else just doing whistling sound
I understand the Russians have larger aircraft,,,but this thing is BIG
But the Russians only have 1 of them. Was built to carry the Russian Space Shuttle Buran, but when they discontinued it they turned the plane into a cargo aircraft.
@@nvstewart 2 Actually, they've got the Antonov 225 and 125
@@nvstewart Both are massive, but the 125 is smaller than the 225 and has 2 less engines than the 225 (making it four 😅)
@@PStahn Then I stand corrected, the 124 is just slightly larger than the C5.
I'm pretty sure the Mriya is actually Ukrainian owned as well, not Russian. Not sure about the 124s, of which like 50 or so were built.
I well remember the original engine noise of these going overhead back in the 1980s before the newly upgraded engines.
1:11 I love how they left the clap of the handshake in lmfao
Who else remembers Richards long hair ?
Yes, him with no gotee and a necklass, he looked like a surfer
Have you seen him walking?
He walks like he's been in 3 roll overs...
Oh wait.
Now put hammond beside a GE90 or a GE9X xD
Oh wait... didnt watch the video when i wrote this comment bur still...
4:25 I have that exact same 74-8 poster over my desk
Ayeee I was there when you guys visited. Super cool to see you guys outside of the TV 😂
Why would they send the Hamster to a plane factory, should’ve send May I think
well this is hamsters own show with him being the only host so James or Jeremy wouldn't be on the sow but i think an episode featuring James may would have been interesting
I think Hammond is by far the most interesting of the bunch.
@@MrQwerty2524 I must agree.
Homeless Robert Downey Jr
Love you hammond 👊❤
the only word i can think of for this massive plane and its engines : "Awesome"
They needed to make those engines bigger without making them any bigger😂
He means more power obviously.. Moron..
Your mama
" They need to make them bigger without making them bigger" hmm.
Yes ...it means they need to increase their power without increasing its size . Wasn't that easy ?
@@georgeisaak5321 So it should be "we need to make it more powerful without making it bigger" Wouldn't you say?
@@georgeisaak5321 Or we could say "we need to make it more powerful with out making it more powerful" either way it makes no sense I'm afraid.
Great video
This place was at Oshkosh airshow 2019. if it ever goes again you have to see it. its absolutely monstrous.
J.Jarvis I love that three week period, EAA, Milwaukee air show, Elkhart Lake Road America, and the Northwoods.
Why is he making it sound like GE invented the turbofan engine?
Because they allowed them to film there lol
@Benjamin C. "GE came up with a radical modification" Quite specific phrasing and quite specifically wrong.
Yeah, some sloppy research/presentation there.
That is not even the right engine in the testing room. This is a GE90 or a GENX in there.
Yes it the ge9x
@@ioandavies2292 Okay thanks.
On the road it's a GE9X. On the test stand it's a GE90-100 series. When they are in the control room it's a GE9X again, after they advance the throttles it's a GEnx, then a GE9X again. Then it's back to the CF6-80
They used to back the C-5s up along the flight line at Clark AB, Philippines and when they ran up the engines to taxi, the thrust blew through the barracks which only had slats for walls. It would only last about 10 minutes, so you learned to just get out of the way until it moved. I'd say they were pretty powerful.
Put the boys back together. Richard / captain slow and the main man Jeremy !!! Let’s go
Pretty sure rolls Royce came up with the first Turbofan engine... but okay.
Every about engines and planes, aircraft carries, subs, tanks missiles all came from British teckys
Ge has uk involvement in it search it
General Electric but not Electric
GE is the child of Edison's light bulb company. An old company with an old name. It's been around since the late 1800s
I felt that handshake
*_HAMMOND YOU BLITHERING GENIUS_*
Turbine is a engine part, Engine is the name of the whole thing.
Would you call a car engine "piston" 🗿 would you?
This guy looks like a phony version of Tony Stark
I am Iron Ham.
I'd love to work there wow them stars are crazy blows my mind
recently watched a doc on the SR-71, they also used a bypass system while using ram jet tech. amazing stuff.
@Mahesh M V U yes, thank you
@Mahesh M V U it's not a scramjet, it's a turbo ramjet. It's only a scramjet if the air passing through the combustion chamber is supersonic, it's subsonic in the SR71 J58
My Girlfriend Makes louder Noise than these QUIET Engines ...
Many thanks to CORONAVIRUS For keeping her at safe distance ...
1:58 "But General Electric came up with a radical modification: They added a huge turbofan at the front...."
That was radical decades ago. Just speak to the design without embellishing it. This is one reason why I don't watch Discovery Channel anymore.
That's what he's talking about at the start of the C5s life. He's not saying they did it now. He's saying they did that in the 60s
"it's awesome"
That word, in it's proper definition, *absolutely* applies here, Richard. Make no mistake
👍
Bro the GE-9X is so awesome, I love the 777-X
