Me too

Hit an airshow around your area friend. Best fun ever

Yep, me too!

Bro said aeroplanes

@@Newlolz989 I mean from the crew perspective

same thing happened to me on a dreamliner from tokyo to lax. The flight there took 12 hours and we went up towards the north pole. On the way back we had a 200+ knot tail wind so we cut straight across the pacific and got back in 8 hours.

794 MPH is supersonic...

@@RoosterFPV do you know what ta and ias is??? if not don't speak..

@@RoosterFPV well not, when the air is moving with you

@@RoosterFPV Speed of sound varies predominantly with temperature. On a day with ISA conditions (a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a pressure of 1013.2 HPa ), the speed of sound is roughly 750mph. As the temperature reduces (as it does with altitude until you reach the tropopause) so the speed of sound reduces markedly. Interestingly, the effect of reduced pressure at altitude, means that for a given IAS (Indicated Airspeed), one can get remarkably close to the speed of sound at height, compared to flying at the same speed at lower levels. Another interesting aside, one can get bits of the aircraft going supersonic, while the main airframe remains sub, or trans, sonic. When close to the speed of sound, some of the airflow may well be accelerated in excess of the speed of sound, particularly over the top of the wings, and just where the fuselage reaches its widest point, so some control surfaces may well experience supersonic airflow. One of our 787’s got caught in severe mountain wave crossing the Andes a few years back, and the highest recorded speed was Mach 0.96, the report stated that it was likely that some parts of the airframe experienced supersonic flight! The highest I’ve experienced in a civilian aircraft was 0.92, which was more than enough excitement for the night, as we were supposed to be at 0.85!

That’s typically when they are close enough to the ground to not have the shadow covered by clouds. Normally on approach before landing.

Even without any clouds, being close enough to see the shadow means you’re relatively low

If there is no shadow of the aircraft on the ground, ( which is most of time ) I’ll put my finger or better yet, a pencil or pen point, on the window on a road or highway, and see how fast it moves along the ground. (Anything to keep me entertained on a long, boring, cramped, uncomfortable flight😁

yes, it's true I've seen it before

@@Bigbuddyandblue thought I was the only one who does this exact same thing lol. It’s definitely a form of entertainment for anyone who’s fascinated by aviation.

If cars were as expensive as planes, they'd be driven much more carefully. If the average idiot could fly a plane, they'd be falling out the sky on a daily basis

@@michaelbarry755 good point

Not really. Requires strict licenses compared to most other transport

@@michaelbarry755 good point.

Safest transport per mile or km travelled. Per trip is not the safest.

It would be mind-blowing

There are better ways to demolish houses

one of the reasons the Concorde is not around is because of the sonic boom

@@tedmihalca I think more important factors were high operating costs combined with low number of passengers the plane could take, aging aircrafts + the fatal accident in Paris in 2001. Sonic boom was apparently OK for 30+ years of its operation.

@@pawelzielinski1398 it was OK but an ongoing issue!

Parallax is the root cause iirc

to be honest i expected it to look faster 😅

Why the planets look still even though they are moving around 50,000 miles per hour

also explains why when you watch footage of the space shuttle taking off with a camera mounted pointing downward, the ground falls away very quickly at first but then tapers off, even thought the rocket is accelerating at a huge rate

These tailwind speeds are pretty rare. I have had a 260 knots tailwind before, lasted for 10 minutes or so, I'm 99% sure I'll never experience that ever again. Glad I did though, we completed a good chunk of the flight in 15 minutes time

Your really an atc!? I've ALWAYS been in awe and never met one , so much respect 🙏. An ex firefighter.

@@bostavely204 likewise, thank you for your service. You had a very respectful job as well! I am very passionate about aviation. Always wanted to be a commercial pilot but it worked out well for me. I love what I do. Sometimes it’s a little stressful but most of the time it’s not bad at all. Adrenaline gets flowing and those of us who enjoy the job enjoy the challenges.

ok, now transalte knots into km/h

@@benjaminjo5430 I’ll help you out. I’ve always known 250kts is 288 mph. I’ll let you do the math from there…

Make it above New York and crash into the World Trade Center!

@@cocofellas too soon

@@cocofellas fly it over Moscow and crash it into McDonalds hahaha.... oh i forgot McDonalds are closed, they left lol

Lmao leave the city for once in your life

I think they did something like that once a couple of decades ago Idk when

Good thing planes are statistically safer than cars and they have to go that speed to stay in the air. Its how they get lift

In that case don't think about the forces at play just outside the window...

@@thedrumman2019 No, they do not have to go that speed to stay in the air. In fact, nowhere near that speed. Half it.

@@thedrumman2019 Apples and oranges.

@@generalyellor8188 at high altitudes jets really do have to go that fast because stall speed increases with altitude. They may only have a few dozen knots to play with. But yes at lower altitudes they can fly much slower especially with flaps extended

Stop the cap

@@maryagyemang9870 Wym? Everything he said is correct

Why are you talking about fireworks? Why not just talk about the sound of the engines?

Commercial jets do not travel faster that the speed of sound, they have top speeds…

Just blatantly false info lol. No plane breaks Mach 1 when still on the ground. It would cause a shockwave and damage the surrounding area.

Yes. I have been enjoying this for a few years now. It's kinda addictive too.😀

yep look at the distance scale, say 200m and you'll see the plane is covering that every second.

Seconded.

Yeah, but that 310mph gap is a big difference. Even if a 9mm was flying at just 310mph it would still cause heavy damage to whatever it hits.

@@danielplumley2649 Still, an aircraft travelling near(ish) the speed of a bullet is impressive!

@@Incommensurabilities true!

@@danielplumley2649 what lol, it's a 9mm bullet normally if you want to actually damage a passenger jet get a 30mm cannon

@@Tales41 Bruh what are you talking about 🤣 My point was that 310 mph gap between the speed of a plane and the speed of a 9mm is a big difference. I didn’t say anything about shooting a plane with a 9mm.

Also the air is less thick isn’t it? I’m don’t know what the right terminology for this

@@mctavishsoap3815 it is! It's less dense, there's less molecules of air per given volume compared to, say, at sea level. There's also far less pressure up there as well!

The wind is no were near 250knots up that high. You have indicated airspeed which is usually in between 200-300 knots on the airliners and then true airspeed. True airspeed is the indicated airspeed calibrated with the atmospheric pressure and temperature. Since the pressure and temperature are so low at such a high cruising altitude, the true airspeed is higher than the indicated airspeed would be. Now you can add the wind up at that altitude onto the true airspeed, which the wind is usually between 50-150knots in variable directions.

@@larryfatty5377 My friend I encourage you to look up how fast jet stream winds are.

It's because it's still a bit higher, you can see the trees. If you're gonna see that perspective while driving in a car, then it would look a lot faster.

Seeing the shadow is a rare treat. I don’t know why it feels exciting, but it does. If you’re ever on the ground and a shadow passes over you it evokes an ancient evolutionary shudder that many animals (including marine animals) feel when a predator swoops down.

@@albertbatfinder5240 You are correct. a planes shadow passing over you is so sudden it may take a moment to comprehend the cause but then you realize . it is a blessing from the the ultimate machine. the greatest of man's creation. a reminder of life , moving autonomously, merely passing thru yr personal world

I have flown real low in helicopters. Big problem is birds. They can take out a windshield or engine. Then there are wires. Very deadly. I hit a wire, I know.

@@oldmech619 are you dead?

@@resto-dw7gv Dead? Nope! I have come close far more than most. I hit a telephone wire of takeoff. Landed on a car driving down the road. Scared the hell out of the driver. I lived.

Take the new Darkstar on msfs 2020 up to Mach 10 and then x2 speed... Mach 10 = 12,340 kph, ISS travels Mach 25= 28,000 kph!

@@Ashvegas27 that’s a great idea. Sadly don’t have msfs. I was thinking of speeding up this video by a certain factor to get it up to 28000 kmph 😄

@@Ashvegas27 And the Earth goes around the sun about 4x faster than that. The Sun goes around the Milky Way 10x faster than the Earth goes around its orbit.

Thats impossible

@@nabilshaikh8134 no it’s not. If you’re traveling 500mph and you meet a plane that traveling same fast, opposite direction you would see it fly past for the same amount of time that you would from a static position and the aircraft traveling a 1000mph

@@21borders15 lol except in real life planes would never be allowed to get anywhere near each other mid-air to where you could meaningfully compare speeds visually

@@XxZeldaxXXxLinkxX I’ve seen something pretty close where it was a little to the left and quite a bit below our plane

@@XxZeldaxXXxLinkxX actually in RVSM airspace, on busy routes jets will often cross on direct opposite tracks with just 1,000ft vertical seperation, no lateral seperation. It looks spectacular from the front, and gives a great impression of what 1000+ knots looks like 🙂

Planes typically land at 140-180 mph (220-300 km/h), so that is quite fast. :)

@@thatguyalex2835 Basically, the fastest I've been on the ground, is when a lot of aircraft just get started. I want a F16 now 😄

@@thatguyalex2835 I was on a southwest flight once where the flaps got stuck and could not deploy. I think we landed at over 250mph 😱

i've seen that on a beach before, the sand stretched a good 10km into the distance and you could see the plane's shadow just rip over it at a fantastic rate.

bro that's even worse than not having your phone in aeroplane mode

​@@xanid Not really. A cell phone has way higher power than the WiFi and Bluetooth of a TomTom. Passengers only have to switch off devices during landing and take-off procedures.

@@xanid the only reason you can't use phones is because when the plane is far away from a cell tower the phone has to use more power to get to it and that messes up the radio. gps doesn't do that.

why tf would someone bring a tomtom on a plane?...

@@x4r For example, TomTom showed we were approaching Paris, so I started a competition with the kids: "Who sees the Eifel tower first?" We clearly saw it! Same with the street of Gibraltar and other locations.

But the plane would break into 4 pieces

You would be unlikely to see such a speed that close to the ground as you won't get the same tailwind component speed that low, meaning you won't go as fast. Which is a shame because it really would be a perfect way to visualise it!

@@justbob588 ^ yeah its a shame :/

What if someone mods the game to make ALL of the airspace have the same physics/mechanics as being 38,000 feet high? I imagine it would be hard to take off

@@GlitchMan1011 It would be hard but not impossible. But you would certainly need a much LONGER runway. You would basically need top air speed going over the wings to get enough lift to take off. More lenient on sea level with 1000 Mbars of air pressure

Ha, I do this but put a finger against the window and pretend my giant finger is dragging across the earth at 900kph. What a nerd.

@@Magooch86 you into giantess pron, my man?

@@Magooch86 BROOO SAME lmaoo

What has size of our planet got to do with this? 🤔 it's the distance of the plane from the ground that's causing it to appear to move slowly.

@@ryuzaki6865 you answered ur own question. its because of earth being so big, the plane is able to fly higher and seeing them move slowly?

@@MrxAskar not necessarily, not every plane flies at that height to perceive everything at ground level slowly.

@@MrxAskar and if your concern is "to be able to fly higher" to perceive everything at ground level slowly, you can always aboard manned satellites to do so, once again size of the planet is not a factor.

Wrong, Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut, Bugatti Chiron Supersport

@@leonrydell2064 so u telling me bugati supersport is faster than mach 6 acheived by x-15 which is 6 times the speed of sound

@@evonneong9930 taken slightly out of context there, the reference was clearly to the video specifically and nothing to do with official aircraft speed records...

@@leonrydell2064 nah those cars ain't as fast. The only car is the Thrust SSC

@@leonrydell2064 even if they could go that fast, it would only be for a few seconds at a time before having to come to a stop

We frown on Pedos where i live.

And the 250kts here is IAS, not TAS

@@wiktoreriksson4566 ah yes thanks for adding that up! I forgot to mention IAS and TAS. 👍

Does GS take account of the longer distance travelled at altitude due to curvature of the Earth? I've no feel for how significant that might be though . .

@@geoffplywood6112 No, that would be the great circle distance. Groundspeed (GS) like the name suggests, only measures your speed relative to the ground in which it's essentially the "real" speed that you're traveling.

@@SuperPhunThyme9 Not a pilot but I believe you are correct. Same goes for if you have a strong tailwind, your airspeed will drop while your ground speed will increase

This is true

250 kts was the indicated airspeed at altitude. The plane probably had a ground speed of over 400 kts though

I doubled the video play speed by x2 and it made a lot more sense.

True speed is double not ground speed

But the camera is directly under the plane going the same speed as it.. So whatever the difference is from air/ground speed should be irrelevant..

yep same here, i was on a plane from perth to sydney and i had a look at the airspeed, 1150km/h, almost the speed of sound 😜

just turn on 2x playback

@@mumin84 that's awesome 😍😍

Somebody has no clue what he/she's talking about and has no clue what parallax is. Your comment is BS.

@@flybeep1661 "the effect whereby the position or direction of an object appears to differ when viewed from different positions, e.g. through the viewfinder and the lens of a camera"...I believe that I specifically said to keep one's head still. If you move your head you will get Parallax, unless you do not know what Parallax actually is.

Indicated airspeed is 250 but true airspeed is about 450 yeah

The indicated airspeed at 38,000 ft is much lower than the true airspeed because the air is much thinner there than at ground level.

Yep that's what i thought

It would take a car minutes to pass the same fields, what were you expecting warp speed? Lol

@@kiely4561 no, it wouldn't on a highway. It would take a car about 30 seconds max to cross one of those fields

Minutes 😂
