**Please Read: The #2 engine is indeed operating. The visible "blades" are stationary vanes that help guide the air into the engine**
I was reluctant to post this footage for quite some time as there was someone near me talking very loudly. I thought the footage was pretty much toast however, decided to revisit the footage. After a few hours of work, I was able to remove most of the talking without compromising the video itself. Hope you enjoy the flight on this soon-to-be-retired classic. Flight details are as follows:
Airline: American
Aircraft: MD-83 N437AA
Flight#: 2347
Route: CMH-DFW
Seat: 29F
Date 1/1/2016

@@markziegler5115 Yeah they're also to blame why new A320's won't produce that beautiful twin howling noise that came from the fuel over pressure holes underneath the wings. I guess engineers figured out how to minimize the noise by fitting a little a tab in front of the hole so air doesn't resonate over the holes.

@claritywithkj2509 6 жыл бұрын

Thanks. Was there a reason why they designed the engine so that the blades are not moving on the exterior part of the intake?

@LoveJT8D 6 жыл бұрын

KJ Free The MD-80 engine is a low bypass turbofan, so the size of the fans and different compressor stages is different than modern engines. The big fans you’re used to seeing today are mostly associated with high bypass turbofan engines. The MD-80 engine uses stators “vanes” that help guide the air into the engine. That’s what you’re seeing.

@LoveJT8D 6 жыл бұрын

General Obi Wan Kenobi Yeah those takeoff angles are unmistakable. Was there a particular reason for that, or was the requirement to get the best performance to fuel ratio?

@GeneralKenobiSIYE 6 жыл бұрын

In my city I think because so much city has grown around the airport, which was in the middle of no where when it was first built, they need to get above a certain height within a certain amount of airspace. The planes take off right over a major loop freeway over a heavily developed area and they need to get over a certain height before they pass over the RICH part of town to the north if they are flying to DFW, so they either haul ass to over several thousand feet or they pass over the more ghetto part of town to the east depending on weather patterns.

@LoveJT8D 6 жыл бұрын

General Obi Wan Kenobi That makes sense. It seems in general these planes have a steeper angle of attack, even when I flew the DC-9s out of MSP and DTW. But to your point, most cities having lots of growth through the 90’s probably require a certain noise level within a handful of miles to the airport.

I remember flying on MD-80s from DFW to Phoenix. I'm going to miss the sounds of the JT8Ds and the bare metal livery.

Aleks Facco I hear you. Aircraft engines really had personalities back then. Now they all seem to sound the same and you can't really even hear them.

Yeah, you could really say that about commercial aircraft in general. With the exceptions of the 747, A340, A380, and some RJs (maybe IL-96 too?), all the aircraft being made today are twin-jets with the engines under the wings, all looking the same for the most part. It's just kind of boring.

Aleks Facco Agree with you there. For that reason, I've been spending more time spotting business jets. More variety.

David Pacholski Absolutely! The engineering and sounds of the JT8D family are brilliant.

The McDonnell-Douglas DC-9 is one of the best short-range airliners ever built.

I lost my mother a few years ago, however she and I went on vacation in one of these on a route that had always used a 737 in the past. I found this plane to be less powerful that the 737 but whisper quiet and smooth.

The md 80 is a much better aircraft than the dc9 the dc9 was very loud next to the engine it put out a pounding droning noise which was very bad the md80 however is very quiet sitting next to the engine you almost forget it’s there the md80 was a wonderful aircraft it suck’s they are all retired here in America they were so good

I love the fact that it doesn't move the whole time

Thanks for watching! What you're seeing are fixed vanes that help guide the air inside the engine.

I always thought the MD80 was an interesting airliner. But every flight attendant that I knew said they were cheap and they didn't like working on them.

Doug N I can say that compared to newer aircraft today, the MD-80 isn’t flashy inside and some maybe becoming a little tattered. But, McDonnell Douglas built these planes like tanks. The DC-9 family has been able to log really high cycle counts. Quite impressive to see them still flying. Miss those mainline T-tails.

Those flight attendants are cheap themselves if they think that. Get real: it is just a waitress in the air.

I work on 5th right next to CMH. If I'm outside and one of these comes out it stops me in my tracks. Love the "almost-after-burner" sound of the big MD.

aronph1 Oh cool! Marysville is my home town and know CMH very well. That crackle behind the engines is amazing.
