The old school planes had so much more character than the bland airliners of today , the sound they made was more interesting

My first commercial airplane ride was in 1970 on an Ozark Airlines F-27 from Kansas City, Missouri to Springfield, Missouri. Those RR engines are so identifiable.

I love how the Rolls Royce just reverberates through the airframe. Amazing sound. The F-27 was the best turboprop ever !!!!!!

Love this plane! Brings me back. When i was a kid, i always use my bike and go to the airport 1.2km away 5:30am in the morning just to see this beauty arriving and departing. Its the best screaming engines ive have ever heard in my life! Too bad those days are gone. 😢

Amennnn! We rode our bikes every Sunday) weather permitting) to see the West Coast airlines F-27's * United airlines DC- 6's fun!

I worked with the F-27 for several years for a regional airline in the 1980s. I'll never forget the sound of those RR Dart engines.

Air NZ had these, used to able to stand outside like this ( close enough to see the passengers faces and pick our family out), listen to the start up ( which was deafening, these things were old tech and very loud ) thanks for the memories

Flew the Fairchild F27 for many hours, it had some improvements over the Fokker version. I believe one of them was the availability of "speed brakes." The Speed Brake consisted on a console mounted switch that allowed the extension of the main landing gear. The Fairchild would lose 40 knots almost instantaneously. The whining noise was identical, though. Love that airplane!

So many beautiful childhood memories evoked by this screaming sound. I miss the F-27 so badly.

Brings back fond memories from 1968-72 when I was a kid and watched these operating with Air West (later Hughes Airwest) out of Monterey, California. They were the licensed built Fairchild FH-227 variants I believe. Great video!

One of the best sounding engines ever! And for me, one of the most amazing planes ever built! I still would like to fly one of these! Perfect video, perfect sound, thanks!!

The Rolls Royce Dart engines were the first turboprop engines. They have a very distinctive sound to them. Because they are apparently cruder than the modern Pratt & Whitney turboprop engines of the DeHaviland Dash-8, it seems that they produce a louder jet whine than the Pratt's. The Vickers Viscount was the world's first turboprop airliner, and it had the Darts. In this video of the F-27, the chef cutter or "box fan" sound of the props is somewhat more audible than in videos of watched of the Viscount. In the video's of the Viscount, the sound the props is virtually inaudible. The Viscount sounds much more like a regular jet aircraft.

That RR whistle is classic, but the larger Rda.10 engine took it to another level. Around September of 1965 I was standing on the observation platform at the Dallas Love Field Airport. I knew the first Dart-engined Convair 240 conversion was coming in that night, and it was on time. Not yet painted in the livery of the carrier that would operate it, Central Airlines, it was the second Dart conversion done and the first delivered to a customer. Registration number was N74858, if I remember correctly. We who worked at Love Field were accustomed to the RR whistle coming from Continental Airline's Viscounts, but the noise the Convair Dart made was distinctively louder as it taxied to the gate and shut down. After refueling and inspection by the Central employees present, it started back up to begin a pilot training flight. I watched the reaction of the people on the observation deck as the first engine came up to speed. They were looking around and trying to identify the source of that ungodly whistle that kept rising in pitch, never suspecting that it came from that rather unkempt Convair on Gate 9. When the pilot took the engines up to minimum governing speed to turn out of the gate, people began putting thier fingers in their ears. The Big Dart had arrived.

The Dart, the most musical of engines

One of my favourite aircraft from that era. Nothing quite like the beautiful sound of the Dart engines

Woo that airport is so close to residential buildings!!!!! I am sure that people in those building do not enjoy so much the Rolls Royce engines sound!!!

Flew these from Fairbanks to my camp in Toolik Alaska in 1974. Wein was the carrier great airplane.

What a beautiful sound! Great video! I love the F-27 !

I've flown on many FH-227B aircraft (Ozark Airlines) in years gone by! A wonderful aircraft!!

54 years ago I first flew on a TAA F27 Fokker Friendship from Buka to Lae and on to Moresby on my way to start boarding school in QLD in 1969. Beautiful plane the F27. Later on continued flying the F27 to and fro from school to Buka on school holidays then on to Uni in Lae on Air Niugini F27. While I was at uni the F27 was replaced with the F28 Fellowship in 1978.; I miss the F27 and the beautiful sound of its engines. Very nostalgic indeed.

Beautiful! Love the sound of the RR Darts!

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G video of my favorite plane. LOVE that rocket-like takeoff too !

ah this F27 and the Electra are my childhoo memories, got the pleasure to flight on those beautiful aircraft, and this sound of the engines starting up were the best part for me

Man, that brings back memories of Quebecair and flying in northern Quebec. I was 5 years old, and sick as the proverbial dog from the turbulence!!!! I LOVED every minuit of it!!!! Thanks for posting!

Ahhhh, memories of my childhood growing up on KLFT! Texas International flew the Convair CV-600's into there... what a screamer!

Amazing reminds of my childhood when I use to travel with my dad on F27 superb sond thanks for sharing.

Beautiful bird & dart engines sound!

Having worked at Stansted in the 1990’s I’m certain they caused my hearing damage! Sends chills hearing them again. On a windy day the cockpit control column would jig around from the ailerons moving. On really windy day ATC allowed us to park into the wind. The inflight classical music on Air UK’s F 27 was on C-60 cassette tapes and described by the cabin crew as the inflight funeral music. Loved these planes, along with the HS748 and Viscount. They were like war relics!

What a good looking plane! Youve taken me back to my childhood thankyou. We were naughty and at night would sneak off to the far side of the plane in the dark and watch the flames in the exhaust of the rr dart engine as it caught on startup.

Many hours in F27s in the 80s and 90s working for Mesaba and Scenic Airlines. Great flying plane and I miss the sound of those Darts.

Till early 1990's I traveled in F-27 friendship,for small airports of Balochistan

classic rolls royce dart turbo prop engines

Excellent. 1970’s East-West Airlines Armidale and Port Macquarie to/from Sydney. Loved it.

The sound of the dart droning and whining. Music to my ears. And shot in beautiful Panavision.

wat a sound... maaaaaannnnn i love it..... i travelled by it alot

Great camera work.

Works fine now......probably had alot of traffic since its a great video!!!!!!

incredible sound

👏Fantastic 👏

SOUND ♥

Nice video...nice airplane...nice turbo prop sound...

Memories fr me...♥F27..

Ahhhh That sweet shrill sound again.

The sight of F-27 and YS11 lined up side by side is imprinted on my mind. And then Vis828 spots in!

Brilliant

RR darts just sound so cool :)

What a clean machine

I flew on Mohawk Airlines' F27s as a kid in the early 70s. Memories!

Gary, you're so right -- they might share the same basic hul, but they're a league apart! The F27 is still king!

Super

I like very much to those propeller sound.

Saudades dessa linda aeronave.

Hermoso avion,

Fairchild built them under agreement in the US too. Great commuter airplane.

Note the seagull walking away @ 4:20, it's so funny! Great plane!

@neilanyon4792

The RR Dart is a very simple single spool turboprop. The propeller is geared directly to the compressor/turbine assembly. This means that the starter motor turns the prop as it is spinning the engine up to self sustaining rpm. Modern turboprops have a separate power turbine geared to the prop which is driven by the exhaust of the "gas generator" (which is basically equivalent to the Dart without its gearbox or prop). The prop does not turn with any great speed until the rpm of the gas generator has risen to almost idle speed and the power turbine begins to catch up.

Can be none other than a couple of Darts!

This was the sound of Norwich Airport UK in the 1970s 80s and 90s.

Music from the 70s

OMG RR DART!!!!! COOL

I'm loving it fokker f-27 it's my dreams.

flight 571 comes into my mind everytime i see an f27,

Music to ears

Love of my life

With a twin engine turboprops, they always fire up the starboard engine first, and then the port engine. I think they should for one flight fire up port first and then starboard. Then for the next flight, vice versa, so that the engines wear evenly. Many love the distinctive sound of the "Rolls Royce Dart" engines. They seem to produce more of the jet sound than the Pratt & Whitney engines of the DeHaviland Dash-8, which is a modern turboprop that's very similar to the F-27. I myself enjoy the sound that the props themselves make, the "box fan" sound in high idle and taxiing, and the bumblebee sound in takeoff and inflight.

They start the engines based on the start cycles that they have accumulated or have left on their maintenance/overhaul schedule , not on some whim of the flight crew

@richardkallio3868

Жыл бұрын

I always thought they start the starboard engine(s) first because that is the side opposite the cabin door, and if someone has to deplane or emplane at the last minute, it is safer that way.

and by the way,their fuel consisted of aviation kerosene or( jet fuel).

Ingat masa kecil, waktu dibandara Kemayoran, Jakarta Indonesia.

Q bello sonido

Nobody mentions the smell of burnt Kero it left behind l loved watching the main wheels in a crosswind skipping across the runway

Música para mis oídos.

yes - when runway length is critical. Unusual but true.

Flew it for 8 months in 1988, the whine from the reduction gearbox’s was so intrusive we had to wear tank headsets as the aviation variety’s were not up to the job, good aircraft if pretty basic, but we used it on short commuter hops so it didn’t really matter. In November of that year I converted onto the DC9, to say chalk and cheese doesn’t come close.

Adore the RR Dart whine

Música boa para meus ouvidos.👍

Beautiful Dutch 🇳🇱 aircraft! 😁

Fokker needs to make one bigger with 4 engines. The F-54, same style, just a bit bigger but with 4 turboprops. The F-27s are cool but the 54 would be nicer.

Hi ! I just watched it again twice, and didn't encountered any problems on my side here - everthing went fine before and after the point at 05:25. My best guess is that there may have been a lot of traffic on the line?
