Sadly no Vulcans can fly but a few are still able to do fast taxi runs like shown on this video which was recorded yesterday

I was at Ayr airshow years ago when the Vulcan did one of its final flights. The noise will stay with me forever. The howl was like nothing I've heard before or since. I think the airframe was deemed to expensive to keep airworthy so it's now restricted to fast taxi. One of the fast taxis the pilot made a mistake and it took off briefly. He got into a bit of bother iirc.

Noise abatement take off with no reheat, so a bit quiet. Have to keep the locals happy.

Sadly they didn’t deploy afterburners however being so close to the air field made it loud enough lol

Some longer shots would be nice, lingering for 5-10 seconds. Consecutive shots of the same vehicle, from different sides or angles or distances perhaps. Im jealous of your chance to visit!

Everyone watching this confused or wondering what was fully going on Vulcan XL426 is still taxi-able and this was just them showing the public a demo on some of the systems on the Vulcan if that helps

I remember 15 years ago, I saw this Vulcan flying at sea level past the Seven Sisters white cliffs while I was on the beach just cruising low and slow, so epic

btw awesome video, just got reccomended, so happy to see tje Vulcan still flying high

I'm comfused, it's making jet noises even though they are covered I'm a dumbass when it comes to jet engineering, an explination would be neat

To be fair you have a point we didn’t know either what was happening apart from the fact that they were gonna do a demonstration of something if that helps

Here we go! What you are watching is a demonstration of the aircraft’s control surfaces. Basically the bits that move to enable the aircraft to climb, descend, roll and turn. These are eight elevons, four each side on the wings (a combined elevator and aileron) and the rudder on the tail. Each elevon has its own hydraulic ram to move it - known as a PFCU (Powered Flying Control Unit) The rudder has two PFCUs - a main and reserve in case of failure. These hydraulic rams are pressurised by electric motors. The Vulcan B2 is completely dependent on electrical power for control in flight, so has plenty of electrical redundancy in systems to help keep it in the air. Each main engine has a large 200V, 40kVA alternator to provide electrical power - but these are not required for a simple ground demonstration. That’s why the four main engines still have their red covers in place. The cart under the left wing is a Ground Power Unit. This is a diesel electric generator providing 24V and 200V supplies to the aircraft to help during start up - hence two sets of cables on the floor. The aircraft has a small 5th jet engine known as an AAPU - Airborne Auxiliary Power Unit. This too has a 40kVA alternator and is hidden inside the aircraft body next to the right main undercarriage leg. It is started and run to provide additional electrical power during these demos. So, all the noise you can hear is a combination of diesel engine from the GPU cart, whine from the PFCU units moving the control surfaces and the roar from the AAPU jet engine. Wonderful stuff…

When was this filmed? Is the Vulcan still flying?
