Awesome video. I live near Joint Base MDL and seeing one of these beauts is a rarity. The C-17 truly is a marvelous piece of machinery. It may be big, it may look like it was built wrong to some, it may be clunky and they may be quite old BUT they are the an integral part of the US Air Force. True die-hard workhorses! I'm just amazed that an aircraft of that magnitude literally slowed down to taxi speed in around 12 seconds once the wheels touched down. *MIND BLOWN*

Takeoff from John Wayne is more intense than this. War is hell, but soccer moms will write letters so angry no plane can survive.

Jace Henderson True. I’ve noticed that with some of the larger aircraft. 747s even A380s, I can often hear the actual buzz saw sound. I’m thinking that sound reverberates more with 4 engines going at once.

now who did you bribe to get a ride on one of those? did y'all see how quickly this plane slowed down after touchdown?

3:28 😂😂 the reverser opened when it wasn't needed at all!!!! And closed immediately🤣

Such a slow approach speed that even the reverse thrusters open and closed pointlessly. Very nice execution.

Tomyfamily 18 The aero dynamic capabilities of this plane are just insane. I believe since the flaps to all the way across, some of the engine exhaust is deflected across the flaps allowing for some pretty slow approach speeds. Maybe someone with more experience can jump in here and describe things better than I, but that’s the idea anyway.

LoveJT8D Actually you nailed it. The C-17 was designed to fly like an oversized fighter. Capable of doing 89°deg roll high G turns. The flaps shove so much air downwards, the plane can hold itself up at speeds near 100kts. I used to jump from them when I was in the Army. Truly amazing aircraft.

Jeff Martin I think it appears that way as I made an edit cut after rotation to get to the “nose up” part quicker. This video is an excerpt from a more in-depth aerial refueling video I made. In that video the loadmaster provides commentary and describes all of our moves. I can say on that takeoff, we hugged the runway a while then did a moderate nose up before turning left. You could definitely feel yourself planted in the seat. Granted the tactical aspect may have been slightly watered down. Thanks for stopping by and watching 👍

Wait- did they do that landing without thrust reverse?? I saw them open only _after_ the plane had slowed significantly, and even then for only a few seconds.

@LoveJT8D

7 жыл бұрын

The majority of the landing was with heavy brake application in the landing gear. You will notice, there is no break in the flaps around the engines, so the engine thrust hitting the deployed flaps allows for slower approaches.

@EVAUnit4A

Yeah, but isn't slowing with only wheel brakes dangerous to the health of the landing gear? I don't understand why they _didn't_ use thrust reverse here.

Reverse thrust not required for landings. The brakes can do all the work faster than the useful aircraft speed range that thrust reversers are effective at.

That was a max power takeoff. Each electronic engine computer will calculate from dozens of environmental variables what the maximum thrust available is when the takeoff data is crunched by the mission computer at that moment. All that has to be done then is push the throttles to the stops, and the EEC's do the rest to hold the motors at the redline. The other choice is a "derated thrust" option that calculates the minimum amount of thrust for takeoff factoring in weight, weather, and terrain. Saves gas, and saves wear and tear, but not used when we got to GTFO!
