Planes Can Fly Without Their Engines, Here's How

Показать описание
Here’s a pop quiz! Name three differences between an airplane and your car. If one of your answers was "I don't fall ten thousand feet when I run out of gas," you and I clearly think alike. But really, planes are pretty good at staying up in the air when an engine goes down.

That might seem strange at first; you wouldn't turn off your car while driving, after all, but there are a lot of reasons pilots might need to shut the engines down while still in the air. One of the most common causes is that something got into the engine’s air intake.

SUMMARY:
-There are a lot of reasons pilots might need to shut the engines down while still in the air. One of the most common causes is that something got into the engine’s air intake.
-In an airplane, birds, hail stones and ash from volcanic eruptions and large forest fires are among the most significant hazard when it comes to plugging up the intake.
-Due do a design oversight, the US Air Force's A-10 Warthog aircraft’s large, fuselage mounted engines had the habit of ingesting the smoke produced by its own firepower. This would result in a flameout and a very unhappy pilot.
-Flameouts can also be caused by an equipment failure on the plane itself, typically in the fuel pump or other engine components.
-The Federal Aviation Administration requires commercial planes to be able to fly and land safely with only one engine operational.
-It’s so easy to land a plane on one engine that many autopilot systems can manage it without assistance from the humans in the cockpit.
-This kind of total failure is extremely unlikely, but there have been isolated incidents of that very thing happening to aircraft in flight. For example, Air Canada Flight 143 suffered a double engine flameout in 1983.
-A lot of different things need to go wrong before a complete engine failure, so it's really unlikely.
-"Miracle on the Hudson" in January 2009 occurred after an Airbus A320 collided with a flock of geese shortly after taking off from New York City's LaGuardia Airport. The accident resulted in the loss of both engines and forced the pilot, Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger, to make a risky water landing in the nearby Hudson river.
-Helicopters have an even easier time landing without power than planes do. A helicopter's rotors act like a combination propeller and wing, providing both lift and forward momentum.

My wife and I experienced an emergency landing in Orlando, Fl on Halloween a few days ago. We were in the air at about 25k ft and the engine failed and the plane tilted. It was a very traumatic experience. We had to hover over the airport waiting for permission to land. We were doing figure 8's in the sky about 2k ft. Nobody ever wants to go through this.

There needs to be a whole seperate video on auto rotation as it is much more complicated than mentioned in here.

“According to all known laws of aviation, the plane should not be able to fly. It’s big metal body is just too heavy for it to be able to fly. The plane, of course, flies anyway. Because the plane doesn’t care what humans think is impossible”

I saw a Reeves Airline C-46 land with one engine back in '72. It was landing at Elmendorf AFB in Alaska. Also one engine out of 4 on a C-124 Globemaster. The one that I've seen more than any other run on one engine is the Cessna 150.

That happened to us one time... they told us all suddenly prepare to embrace. And the plane was descending really rough we panic and started to pray. We emergency landed in the middle of nowhere and gave us all of the snacks in the plane. They fixed the plane after couple of hours, the bad thing at the time was night and we didn’t know where we was. Later on they told us that they lost power and since planes are computer generated, they couldn’t fly us to our destination. 😩 I thought that was my last day in earth.

A BA 747 was flying over Indonesia when a volcano was active and the engines ingested volcanic the ash this caused ALL 4 engines to flame out.
To cut a long story the pilots eventually got the engines restarted and they landed ok but it was only down to pilot skill that they got back on the ground. 🇬🇧🇬🇧✌✌
