DC-10 was first to Market and tad bit more affordable. Thats it… thats the only good thing about that passenger killing POS. Lockheed Martin’s L-10-11 was superior in everything else. Better more reliable engines( TY rolls-Royce)..better passenger experience. Loved by the pilots. Even aesthetically looked better than the DC 10.

A splendid video. The little-mentioned SA227-CC often forgotten - only 5 were built, originally constructed at SA277-DC Metro 23's but modified (in reverse!) to be fitted with the slightly worse -11 engines of the Metro III. This due to either having trouble sourcing enough -12 engines as fitted to 23's or having leftover -11's still on hand.

Besides it's fantastic engines, the plane itself are a piece of sh....The wings cracked right under the landing gears, the avionics and electric systems were a nightmare to work, there was some places where only a pigmeo could fit to do maintenance...to mention a few things...

I am from Uruguay, 85. I flew in HS 748 in the sixties. They were used by Argentine Airlines (AR) on the "air bridge" MVD/ BUE/ MVD. Good aircraft indeed. I also flew in the Japanese NAMCO YS-11 (Austral Airlines-AU), same route. A solid, dependable airliner.

What about the Japanese YS-11? Very similar?
@Tinoaviation5 ай бұрын
It is not mentioned due to it having nothing to do with the 748. Tho they do look similar, they dint take anything from the 748 - thanks for watching!

Yep, they're very similar in the looks, sort of a bigger version of the Avro and a fantastic airplane, a little bit underpowered for it's weight and size nonetheless...

You left out Mt Cook Airlines in NZ who operated these for 28 years & loved this aircraft. No other 50 seat plane of the 748 era was as rugged or do the job as well as this aircraft. You say little known-- any plane buff knows the 748, my bro...

C'mon! Saying, that Il-62 and VC-10 are copies is like saying that 737 and A320 are. In both cases it is just a matter od external design. Aeroflot, Cubana, Interflug and OK-Jet airlines also had fatal accidents of IL-62 in this plane hey-days. So not just our Polish LOT.

Don't forget this: The F-27 Friendship was developed by Fokker in the Netherlands and built under licence by Fairchild. I should know, my uncle flew the plane on its maiden flight and took it all around the world for promotional purposes.
@pascalcoole27255 ай бұрын
I wonder why this was not really mentioned, there where way more Fokker F27 than Fairchild build. Beside, I might be wrong but i think the Fairchild was called F-227

If you're going to make a video at least be accurate with the visuals. You showed an L1049G Super Constellation throughout. Not once did you show an actual L1649 Starliner. The narrative was accurate however

I'm a bit confused at the numbers mentioned at 3:08 - as far as I can find Airbus did not produce 18,000 320 Neos, but only ~3100 and the 737 Max is only ~1400.

He kept saying turboprop, but those looked like radials?
@robertl6066 ай бұрын
He is right. There was a plan to build them with turboprops. They even flew one. There are pictures of it out there. It's a shame they did not go with the turboprop engines. There would have been amazing aircraft that would have been in service much longer.
@WAL_DC-6B6 ай бұрын
@@robertl606 At about 1:20 the narrator says, "Wright R-3350 turbo-prop engines" (perhaps he meant to say turbo-compound engines). The 3350 was an 18-cylinder, radial piston engine that used three power recover turbines which used exhaust gases to provide extra power to the engine's crankshaft via hydraulic couplings from the turbines. There indeed was a model of the Super Constellation that was powered by Pratt & Whitney T-34 turbo-prop engines. This was the Lockheed model 1249. Four were built for the U.S. Navy as the R7V-2 (two were later allocated to the USAF as the YC-121F). Curiously, the T-34 powered "Connies" didn't have the turbo-prop engines installed to improve the performance of the aircraft but just to merely test the engines themselves.
