definitely 154

One of the best planes ever built apart from Concorde B747 and the Airbus A380

Tu 154

never say 154 on a 777 🎅🎅🎅🐡🐡

Me: (Buys a candy bar from the store) how much will that cost? Clerk: 154. (candy bar explodes)

🗣️🗣️"ONE-FIFTY-FOUR"🗣️🗣️

That's the same sound they hear when a Boeing whistleblower comes forward.

I’m at a McDonalds right now waiting for my food. The announcer going ‘one fifty four’ rang in my head as soon as I saw my pickup receipt came out as 154.

1 54- 💥

Russian Tupolev created a strong plane, Tupolev 154. Boeing : Hold my beer

154 YEP

There's only one way to know for certain. Destructive testing was the standard for many years. It is expensive but reliable.

My father worked with Boeing in the 60's-70's. He would tell me, while waiting for a plane trip, that plane wings were only strong in one direction. He said, you stand out on the end and jump, it will break clean off. Bastard never told me he was joking and I believed that from 5 to 15 years old. Miss you ya old bastard.

I have the same warning system when a new girlfriend walks over the scale embedded in my washroom floor. 154!!!

The most impressive thing for me was both wings failed at exactly the same time. These are independent structures in terms of where they failed (mid wing), so this speaks volumes to quality of design and construction. I was actually expecting some lag between failures, in a structure like that there are literally thousands of opportunities for perturbation in either direction from the norm. So either they have reduced the perturbations into the noise, cancelled or at least RSSed them (i.e. one weak point either counters or is orthogonal to another, so the net effect is reduced... weakness A cuts strength in half, and weakness B cuts strength in half, but combined they reduce strength by just over a half ), for the result blew my mind. That is great engineering.

I'm a recent grad. In 10 years this video will give me nostalgia I'm sure of it.

Do they only pull at the tip or do they pull at calculated lift vector points along the wing? And just to be sure: 150 is 50% over the max possible load?

It’s so old, but yet so modern. I love that drumming style.

When engineers ran Boeing instead of stupid suits who know nothing about planes.

one fifty four [vine boom sound effect]

That was before money became more important.

all that technology and the best they can offer is a 480p quality video? Can barely see wtf is going on....

154!

Just less than 2 days before having to fly in one of these metal things, I had to watch this video lol I never liked flying.

154💥

At least they tested something

Boeing was such a great company before people started listening to the salesmen.

Ahhh…back when Boeing engineered instead of focusing on wokeness.

*154* is now etched in my memory for a lifetime...

From the brilliance that was the 777 to the mess they are doday: who could have guessed?

Try bending it the other way. Lol

So when you fly just tell the pilot, “keep those wing loads at or below 153% design load, please”.

Is that a rubber duck on the trailing edge of the wing at 0:39?

New fart sound effect

OKAY WE GET IT!!! 154!!! Jesus.....wonderful editing. 🙄🙄

Just got thinking how far they have come now on the 787

One of my fav songs

Unbelievable.

What would the G load be at 154?

Did I hear that right....154?

Airbus >Boeing

I missed it… what was it like one fifty something or other

Someone should make a techno song from this! I feel it's got potential!

Thread is as interesting as the video. You engineers are, like, jeopardy smart 🙃 A joke for engineers ( told to me by my engineer brother ) Q. How do you know if an engineer is an extrovert ? A. He’s looking at your shoes instead of his own ✊ To read this whole post back - you’d think I just like saying engineer.
