That was my first thought also....THAT takeoff was pilot fun, not passenger fun. Unless the passengers are all pilots.


No passengers on an airshow demo flight...

As said by Tex Johnston when asked what he thought he was doing after barrel rolling the 707..."I was selling airplanes".

For any of you who are regulars out of SNA or Orange County John Wayne airport this is the standard take off on the 7am departure when the airport opens!

Noise?

Light fuel load as well?

Yes - it's for noise...but having flown the Orange County noise abatement departure, I can tell you that the pitch attitude for a 757 is about 25 degrees, nearly double the normal departure pitch attitude...

This demo was at least 45 degrees from the look of it...from some angles, it looks like 60...at least double the Orange County pitch...unless you like amusement park rides...you would not like the demo takeoff...

Interestingly, some engineering analysis has shown that modern stage 3 engines don't need the crazy departure angle to stay within decibel limits on the ground, so you may still see this on some older airplanes, but you won't see it on A-320s or 757s from United any more...

I wished they filmed the 787 taking off and being parallel to the runway.

Crosswind....they should move the runway to be into the wind...

Bob Hoover used to do an airshow routine in a twin engine Shrike Commander in which he poured tea from a thermos into a cup while rolling the aircraft.

Here ya go.



I miss Bob. We watch the races from my ex-boss's back yard. It borders the course at pylon 7. Bob would almost always fly over and wag his wings or do a roll over our group. One year he buzzed us. Full throttle over the house. We never saw or heard him coming. Scared the pee out of every one of us. Go Bob!

Cool video.

Got it from the man himself...

I told Bob I simulated his one wheel landing Commander routine using a P51 with full
right rubber and opposite ailerons... he stopped me quick and said: "son, you never want
to use full rudder in a Mustang! Mercy Bob it was only on the computer... still he was
concerned for my safety... oh what a pudknocker was I...

That is amazing video. Could you imagine if the Wright bros could see the aircraft of today. They would be blown away. I have also wondered if they did not invent flight, how long it might have been until somebody else did.

Without the Wrights more than 10 years... with the Wrights it took 6 months...

The Wright Brothers are credited with the inventing 3 axis controlled
flight in 1903... between 1903 and 1908 they were the *only* humans on
this planet up in the air flying on a daily bases... they were up to
the duration of 1.2 hours and could fly figure 8s... the Wrights
wanted to sell airplanes over seas but when the French read their
claims they challenge those braggart Wrights to prove their claims...
because in 1908 the best French flyers were only hopping a couple of
hundred feet in a straight line... any attempt at a turn was met with
a crash... well the Wrights not only proved their claims they taught
the French all about 3 axis controlled flight... Bleriot bought into
the Wright Brothers wing warping patent and crossed the English
channel with in 6 months... the aileron ( French for little wing) was
invented to side set the Wrights wing warping patent... you could not
have 3 axis control flight without some form of lateral control be it
warp or aileron... it was all going to be settle in court in the
Wrights favor but with the advent of WW1 meant all patent rights were
pooled for National Security... the Wrights got nothing for their
discovery but the world learn to fly from their idea...


The day Wright Brothers teach the skeptical French about 3 axis control flight in 1908...



Santos Dumont the best of the French Flyers hopping along the ground 1906...


The same Santos Dumont airplane flying 100 years later in 2006...
again only straight flying and no turns...

Good info Larry, thanks.

Well the dipute was for POWERED FLIGHT (by that you understand by its own powerplant, not thrown by catapultas), not 3 axis flight. And 1903 isn't pretty clear, since there wasn't any videos neither a replication, in spite 2010 efforts. Not even a straight bump. Santos Dummont took off, unassisted, in 1906. by its own powerplant, not a catapult.
