I think that with all my education and knowledge I've acquired over the years I think I could finally see myself working on this field, I'll be that dude always mixing the putty and filling up the holes in the models and parts all the time.

I also applaud the aircraft mechanics for keeping these aircraft safe once it's out of the engineers hands.

Tailstrikes do not only occur in the VMU test. They can also occur in the TOP test (take-off performance test, which determines the basic data for calculating the take-off performance of an aircraft). For this reason, devices such as those shown in the video at 2:46 are installedat the tail so that the fuselage is not damaged too much.

By "fitted with brakes that have been completely worn out", they mean brakes machined down to the expected maintenance wear limit. So still plenty of energy absorption left in them (or else the plane wouldn't stop).

Its not cruel testing. Its called stress, performance and safety. It how they establish the limitations of the aircraft for the pilots so they don't exceed them
Secondly, it establishes the maintenance requirements so the airlines know what how long parts will last
The USAF lost AC-130J brand new from because the aircraft went inverted during testing for a few seconds. It recovered and landed safety however per the maintenance manual had to be written off as it exceeded the safety thresholds
Hence why this testing is important

FYI Airbus is not a French aviation company, it is a coalition of several European countries and is head quartered in France

I Salute you people the Real Engineers

Torture testing is always a good idea, to push your product beyond what it was designed to withstand until it fails under controlled conditions.

yes, we all learned about the 73-MAX. Awesome video, so interesting. thank you.

Ma’am, if the planes wheels are on the ground, I would hardly call that flying over. Seriously

Tester dans les pires conditions. C est gage de qualité.

G’day that was interesting and it bought back memories, when I was in the Air Force Cades many moons ago we saw a mirage model go through a wind tunnels. We couldn’t believe how detailed the model was. Take care John

That was an antps-75 radar in the beginning notnised on flight line but for war and some training, I was a technician on one in the air force

Nothing about this is cruel. These are quality, stress and safety test.

With the rejected take off test the ARFF can approach the aircraft but can not apply any material for a period of time to account for real world response times. ARFF is usually on the airport grounds, especially for anywhere receiving a 747, but they are not usually sitting at the side of the runway unless an emergency is declared prior to arrival.
