That f18 pilot was dumb then. He didnt pay attention to climb computer right in front of him

Mate, I am definitely up for an entire series on these impressive aircraft! I am neither a pilot, nor an engineer, but I am a 'fan' of Turboprops, and I really do like the Dash 8 family of aircraft-and would truly relish any information that you care to throw my way about them!🙏 I only just found your channel-(this post)-today-(the date of this comment)-but I have subscribed and am looking forward to seeing furher content like this!👍

Im distracted by how he says human

Huge. Not yuge. Sorry, I can't get past it

Do a series!

It should also be mentioned that the Q400 was likely designed around airline scope clauses - having enough capacity for exactly 76 seats is right up against the maximum for regional airliners allowed by the pilot unions. Additional edit: Horizontal stabilizers generally produce downforce on aircraft. The distance of the horizontal stabilizer from CG determines the effectiveness of the elevators, so having the horizontal stabilizer as far back as possible can save on material and weight costs. However, there is a lifting force produced by the main wing, and the overall aircraft center of lift must be positioned behind CG to ensure stability. As such, the main wing is generally positioned a little behind aircraft CG, which causes the lifting force generated by the main wing to create a moment on the entire aircraft, causing the aircraft to pitch down in neutral flight. The horizontal stabilizer, while being much smaller than the main wing, utilizes its increased distance from the CG to counter this moment by creating an equal moment in the opposite direction. In order to create an opposite moment, however, either the direction of the force or position of the force relative to CG must be reversed. As the horizontal stabilizer is on the same side of CG as the main wing, aircraft designers are forced to have the horizontal stabilizer create downforce (negative lift) to produce that equivalent moment. On larger aircraft, the downforce created by the horizontal stabilizer can be greater than the entire MTOW's of lighter aircraft.

Please make a video explaining why it has such silly skinny wings! I see these places fly over head ever day and I've always wondered. Thank you.

Nice explanation, what a great aircraft capable of many things !

Good video thanks for your effort.

Yes, please make a series. When the video was over I felt like I had watched the intro to a video and now the main content would begin. Please continue, this is so interesting :-)

The kind of video I didn't knew I needed until it started... Thank you!

"We all know how to operate the FMC on a 737"... Yeah of course we all do, that was the first thing I learnt in pre-school 🤣🤣

Excellent stuff….thank you

How about a video as an introduction to DeHavilland Canada ( DHC)? You could introduce each of their models, i.e.,DHC-1, DHC-2, etc. Most of DHC’s line-up are focused on short field/utility/“bush” operations. They are a real Canadian success story! By the way, great video on the Q 400. Apparently the Q-400 is being used in air-tanker roles (water bombers) here in Northern Alberta, Canada. I haven’t looked into it’s capabilities in this role (another idea for a video!)

man the Q400 is so sexy

I love dcs, I love microsoft flight simulator, and I LOVE physics. This is the video for me hahaha.

How about Deep Stall Characteristics of the T-Tail?

I learned a lot, thank you

I want more plz 😊

Well done Max!

Another good perk of the T tail is when i was towing them into the hanger it made it very easy to stack more planes over eachother. The anvs system gave this plane a lot of issues though as if you lost 4 or more attenuators from thd anvs system the system would become in-op. The problem with that is the propeller balancing system drew its data from the anvs system. There was 42 throughout the cabin and you would lose about one a day so it was a constant battle that inflated the maintenance cost. Another daily issue was the integrated blade cuff suffered wuite a lot off differential shrinkage at temps below 40F which lead to a large number of trailing edge cracks which either needed to be patched of replaced nightly. These blades also suttered from water ingress quite badly from those cracks which would lead to bubbles of water near the tip that would freeze and delaminate, this was also fixable but it was a very time consuming repair. The last issue with the blades was that was a phenolic liner under the blade pitch bering race in the hub side, which would rip often and sling grease all over the place. The greases would also cause the rubber for tge deice boots to soften so they would fatigue faster. The landing gear was all right but you had to be strong enough to climb upleg to gain access to all the hydraulic equipment above usually laying on top of the down-lock. Interrogating the EMU was interesting as it was bassed on the analogue interface from the origonal -8 to communicate faults. Bassically you would maintnance discrete switch on the engineers panel and the torque and rpm gauges would move to a position which corresponded to a fault and you as a mechanic had to know what guage fault was what.

That was truly a fascinating and remarkable video. I can’t even believe I made it all the way to the end all while understanding everything. Learned a lot. I didn’t know that without visual cues gravity (from going up in a plane during takeoff) could feel like level acceleration (say in a rimac nevera)

I’m curious to know why no US based carrier has these in their fleet. Their regional market is huge, you’d think some would have taken it up ?

Dash 8-Q400 and the Airbus A220 (previously called C-series) were both created by Bombardier located in Montreal, Canada. They were then both individualy sold to two different companies. Q400 was acquired by De Havilland yet another Canadian company, and the C-series now known as the A220 was aquired by Airbus. Bombardier now only sell private corporate jets and they are the best at it.

Because of a couple of crashes on landing in Copenhagen, the plane is sometimes called the Crash-8 here in Denmark 🇩🇰

An absolutely superb explanatory video. Clear, concise and highly professional. I would be delighted if you would continue to expand and develop the series. Top marks !

25 years ago, almost half the flights at Seatac Airport were turboprops, typically Dash series. Their landing appearance was like bugs with dangling legs. Those days are long gone. 😊

Until it has to land

Literally nothing. Terrible sound. Terrible vibrations. Tossed like a leaf in the wind. No thanks.

Dash-8 is 1 beautiful aircraft, with a high wing and high tail it is easily recognizable

The first link in the description gives an error.

Very interesting details... I've been thining of getting this regional airliner, since I have no turboprop aircrafts. This coould be truly a game changer for me... Thanks for the info. 🙂

Meh…….. I much prefer the ATR-42 better.

Spatial disorientation, always trust your instruments pilots.

I like your analysis but i just want to correct one thing. The horizontal stab provides lift but in the opposite direction. The lift vector is downward rather than upward.

It's a fucking terrible airplane

Dash 7 & 8 would be awesome…air Tindi is the largest single operator of the rare type now. I was fortunate to ride in one back in the mid 80s on a flight to Penticton from YVR. Certainly the aircraft wasn’t breaking a sweat on that flight, but I am glad to say I have been on it. The Quad Otter.

Please make another part this was amazing

somatogravic illusion

Fantastic explanation. Thank you for the video. All questions and assumptions I had about advanced full motion simulators were answered.

this was very interesting, thank you very much

The de haviland that gave us the Mosquito. The greatest aircraft of all.

This is interesting, I'd like to see more!

Do the 6DoF platforms for PC gaming take under consideration that? Do these have washout filters? Thanks for the video.

this honestly explains why some racing sims with motion feel so unrealistic

Thanks max, I enjoyed your way of presenting and explaining 👍

🙄 Nice click bait

If I were Air Canada, I would want the airplane to land and take off late, be as slow and be as uncomfortable as possible for the passengers, with the centre aisle as narrow as possible to make it impossible for the whales we hire as stewardesses to navigate.

I worked with both the -7 and 8. I always found the 7 the more fascinating. Seeing it's STOL capabilities was really pretty spectacular! Alas it was slow and more expensive to run.

Very interesting video But why are you making such a huge effort to separate gravity and acceleration? Physically, gravity IS acceleration, both are measured in m/s^2 and a human can't distinguish between the two. The only thing a human can sense is the change acceleration. We have a tiny suspended bone in our ears that has inertia and wants to keep going in the direction it is already headed. When that direction changes, the tiny bone pulls little hairs, and that tells our brain: Aha, we just experienced a change of acceleration. We probably are falling from a tree because gravity seems to be coming from a different direction than normal. A human has no way of knowing if they are traveling in a rocket that is accelerating at 9,81 m/s^2, or just sitting the same rocket, standing completely still on earth. Gravity and acceleration are the same for us
