What happens if an Aircraft flies too FAST!!?
For 2 FREE moths of Premium Skillshare: skl.sh/mentour8
What speed restrictions does an Aircraft have and what happens if a Pilot flies beyond those speeds?
Can a Pilot get a speeding ticket?
These are some of the questions I will answer in this weeks episode. I will cover everything from Airspace restrictions to wingflutter so make sure you stay tuned and pay attention!

For anyone interested of a case where this was "tested" in an actual flight, have a look at Federal Express Flight 705 in 1994. There was an off-duty second officer (Auburn Calloway) who wanted to commit suicide so his family could get the life insurance payout. But the two pilots managed to stop him. As part of this, one of the pilots ended up putting the plane into a very steep dive. As far as I remember, they went over VD and started experiencing fluttering. Some parts of the wing also broke off. But they managed to keep flying and landed safely.
In an trilingual household like Mentour's, the dogs could also bark in three different languages. In 🇬🇧 bowwow, in 🇪🇸 ¡guau! ¡guau! and in 🇸🇪 vovve vovve! 🐶

"So before you do anything you have to chill, think and actually know what you are doing" Thats some solid peice of advise there ^^
Speaking as someone who can't land an aircraft in a video game I seriously doubt the future holds a career as a pilot. It always gets messy near the ground. I wonder how many pilots could explain these details so clearly. I mean I'm a pretty good driver but if I tried to explain driving it would soon become waffle.

Very true. That is why teaching is it's own job. Just being good at something doesn't always mean being good at explaining it. I have also noticed this with myself, even when I am good at something I still don't always know how to explain it properly so that others will understand it too. If I was required to teach something to someone and I wasn't able to let someone else handle that for me, I'd probably just let the other person watch me a couple times and then hope that they'd have seen enough to eventually figure it out on their own.

The other day I had to end my home sim session and sleep so i decided to put my 737 into a dive by pushing the yoke forward at FL360. It accelerated as expected until reaching the end of the speed tape, about 450 knots. A real aircraft would have pretty much disintegrated by now. At this point the aircraft pitched up extremely fast and pitch went from 80 degrees ND to about 20 degrees NU in about 1.2 seconds. The IAS reduced quite rapidly as well since AoA went from "not that much"to likely around 90 degrees. The aircraft then stuck in a pitch up attitude and plunged into the Tasman Sea tail first. Thank you for reading this little story haha.

I really like these somewhat-more-technical vids. Especially interesting to me is the intersection between the physics of flight and aircraft engineering constraints/considerations + the manufacturer testing regimes. One example in this vid would be the "whys" behind the maximum Mach speed -> airframe integrity and flight control considerations. Unrelated: your ads (in this case, Skillshare) are tasteful and unobtrusive and informative. I deeply dislike web/mobile advertising but your ads are interesting and I even appreciate the advertiser's support for your channel - it makes me think positively of them and I even clicked-through to see Skillshare's offer, something that happens approximately never ordinarily. Thanks for your work, each new vid is something that I look forward to watching.

Loved your coffin corner video. Text book explanation, understandable by everyone. In this video (What happens if an Aircraft flies too FAST!!?) you were slightly more technical than I've noticed previously, which I really liked. I'm not an Aeronautical Engineer, just a low end regular engineer. However I have taken some level of interest in Aircraft design my whole life, so I can agree with some limited certainty that what you say about aerodynamics is true. Myself personally, I would love to see more technical examination of topics. Also, when you speak of such technical topics, maybe some external links included in the video? I'm almost a Patreon supporter and will be downloading the app soon.
Good episode, save one small thing. The Lockheed Electras that crashed did not do so because of wing flutter. The root cause was engine mounts that were too flexible. At certain speeds and flight attitudes, P-factor would actually push the engine off-axis, which would change the location of the P-factor, which would push the engine off-axis in a different direction, which would change the location of the P-factor, etc.. The result would be P-factor "chasing" the engine axis in a circle and literally ripping the mount out of the main spar, like a dentist wobbling a tooth to loosen the "mount" before final removal. Perhaps the mount being ripped from the spar DID cause wing failures, but the root cause was the engine, or engines, violently leaving the airframe. The planes were all grounded and, once this was discovered, the engine mounts were stiffened. It was a little hard to get people to fly on them, though! The military uses them to this day as the P-3 sub hunter...and the Coast Guard/NOAA flies them into Hurricanes!
I tune in for the dog, what a cutie.

Interesting story my uncle who's an airline pilot in America told me. Southwest airlines is apparently known for buying pizza parties for ATC, especially the TRACON guys. The ATC then kinda "misses" seeing them exceed certain speeds by a few knots, radar isn't THAT accurate you know. Or maybe it was in need of calibration. (note:the pizza party thing is likely a pilot urban legend or joke. ATC controllers are of course, professionals) One time an American airlines pilot was flying into Chicago (which has two airports about 30-40 miles apart, one of which is one of the busiest in the world and the other of which is still busier than most places main airport so similar to new York, the TRACON guys have their work cut out for them.) anyway. The AA pilot was in a bad mood that day or just being a boy scout. He received a transmission from center very early in the approach process requesting he climb back up a few thousand to make way for faster traffic overtaking from behind him. He radioed back and said something along the lines of "Chicago center this is American123 what's our current speed restriction?" to which ATC replied "none other than 250 below 10k" AA pilot then radioed back and said "ok Center, were showing exactly 250kts right now so if someone is passing us from behind we're going to have to declare an emergency due to unreliable airspeed indication. What, are we showing for ground speed on your radar?" ATC replied after a few with "ok American123 disregard previous climb instructions"..... "southwest321, please reduce speed to 230 and remain at current altitude".... "American 123 were showing your speed as just fine here, minor mix up, continue approach".. "ok center, American123, no emergency needed then, we just became concerned when we heard someone was overtaking us while we had 250 indicated at this altitude"... Awkward silence... "Roger American123, problem was on our end, it's resolved now, I'll get back with you shortly".. Now I'm paraphrasing from memory, I know the terminology isn't all accurate etc. And this very well may have just been a "pilot joke" they liked to share, and never actually happened, but I thought it was amusing enough to share. Southwest does have a reputation for always being in a hurry and I thought I'd share based on being relevant to today's video
Dammit, I can't stop watching these videos. They're answering questions I've always had.. Thanks

I ain't a pilot, but my intuition says: "slow down = drag". So things like airbrakes, engines to idle, or something like that.

@@suddeneevee9441 engine to idle is going to not accelerate you further but it's not going to (significantly) slow you down. You can try to extend speed brakes at close to mach 1 but i have the feeling the only thing you would achieve is a sudden loss of hydraulic pressure and a lot of shrapnel falling somewhere at the ground. Comment above is probably right: you recover by relieving yourself (and all of your passengers) of the struggles of life (Not a pilot either)
This is fantastic information…as always! Thank you!
This is one of the most fascinating things I’ve ever heard.. I have been meaning to stop watching you for over an hour, after stumbling across you by mistake. Thank you for explaining it so well and letting us into your world 👍
