It’s amazing the tolerances involved in engineering something like that.

How many minutes in RPM's?

The cargo planes I flew in during the Viet Nam war had a monster turbine generator built right into the aircraft. They were C-97 four engine trans oceanic cargo planes, now very obsolete. The turbine was about the size of a VW bug. It SCREAMED from start to shut down at well over 150 decibels at around 15000 RPM. Sometimes it would be run for hours as us mechanics performed various work on the four engines. Each engine had a 28 volt starter that needed to be cranked and cranked. It was a form of torture. My ears rang for hours after the turbine was shut down.

Yes and no. It can also be the air cycle machines that are utilising the bleed air from the apu to provide air conditioning to the plane. If the noise is coming from the tail area, chances are it’s the apu. If the noise is coming from under the fuselage to wing area its probably the air con packs.

Those were used on military VC10s and in the beginning they had a habit of blowing up. Originally a Turbomeca Artouste then a Bristol Siddeley Artouste. I understand that ZD241 has acquired a refurbished Artouste.

I was in tears at the 00:25 burp, filling the liquid fuel tank, and the hand dryer comment. Thank You! ROFLMMFAO. ps: Good turbojet video.

We had a Rolls Royce Artouste APU engine on the Sultan's VC10 in the 70s - not that I ever worked on it. But years earlier I had worked on Alouette IIs with Turbomeca Artouste engines. I have only just realised the 'French Connection.'

Bloody brilliant!

Awesomeness! Our ranch’s backup generator is a micro turbine by Capstone. It also produces heat on top of the electricity. It’ll run on peanut oil, natural gas, kerosene. It’s pretty cool. Just changed the oil last month. It’s like $340 for a 5 gallon bucket so not too bad.

The lovely aroma of burning Jet A1 is pleasantly intoxicating. Aladdin Pink works just as well. Shame it can't be shared via you tube.

I was a ground equipment repairman in air force. Dash 60 apu were noisy but great piece of equipment.

The sound of a gas turbine spooling up or of an idling diesel-electric locomotive is like music to my ears.

Ahora estoy detras de un turbo, espero conseguir uno...No importa el tamaño.. Creo el ruido que produce, lo he tenido como cancion de cuna... en fin, cuidenlo.. gran ABRAZO

Know what series of Artouste this is? The engine was developed by Turbomeca and made by several manufacturers, the most notable being Blackburn.

Simply awesome 😄👍

Also, local power company in Indianapolis has converted some of their generation units to (natural) gas turbine, some combined cycle. Wonder if they sound like this if they're running them? I would assume so...

That funnel was kickin his ass...

This starts the big boys? Cool

I see you've gone for one of them super silent generators

Is that not one of the most gorgeous sounds you'll ever hear...? There they stand with their ear muffs, here i sit with headphones turning the volume up!

Nice little toy to have when the power goes out.

I hated working around these things. When I would pull into the parking lot and see the tail of the aircraft sticking outside of the hanger I knew that I was going to have to hear it all day long. It's a super high pitch, loud noise that consumes almost every bit of your mind, even with ear plugs in and ear muffs over the ears. I don't miss it.

What are the amps and volts produced by the APU? I know most aircraft operate at 400 Hz so as to keep filtering equipment as small as possible.
