The original 737-100 was even shorter. Only 85 seats in a 2 class setup.

As a trainer I would expect it to have fairly mild handling characteristics. Is it something like the airplane is so neutral that any mistakes are 100% your fault and not the plane?

david_a posted:I can’t believe I’ve flown one of those Based on his other T-6 videos, and zero experience, I think it's that it's very docile when everything is right, but lets you know very early when things aren't quite right. The gear/flap mechanism is a bit complex and it will float or bounce quite badly if you don't nail the landing speed. But perhaps things happen quite a bit slower than fighter speed, so you get a taste of how bad things can be without your head just being instantly bitten off.

But perhaps things happen quite a bit slower than fighter speed, so you get a taste of how bad things can be without your head just being instantly bitten off. Yeah, my understanding is that it's this. While you want your early-stage trainers (J-3 Cub for primary, Stearman/Valiant for basic) to be rock steady, docile and almost self-rescuing so that kack-handed flying by inexperienced students won't crash the plane and kill the cadet and instructor, by the time you get to advanced training you need something that actually shows up errors and needs correct technique and flying by the book. You also need to start introducing students to the ways that a 1000+hp fighter can bite. So the T-6 falls into the 'easy to fly, difficult to fly well' category. The control response/weights were deliberately designed to mimic fighter aircraft, apart from the elevator power which was kept fairly low so cadets wouldn't pull the tail off by over-controlling during high-G aerobatics. Start getting a T-6 outside of its zone, or using the wrong techniques and procedures, and it will be very obvious to both the student and the instructor that you're messing up, but you won't endanger the aircraft.

747-8F is scary quiet on takeoff roll. Ditto the 737MAX. Bombardier Global Jets, on the other hand, are chest-punch level of bassy.

I never flew or worked on them so that probably had a lot to do with it. I think only a few were ever painted in the full Air Canada livery; most of those -200s were in the hybrid Canadian/Air Canada paint, until they all went to Zip and were painted bright pretty colours in 2002.

Jealous Cow posted:I disagree on the 7max if you’re seated in the back few rows. You feel that poo poo in your chest. The max with the Leap engines is notably quieter than the 800/900 with the old CFM56. The last few rows in the 800/900 are next level loud.

If you have your back turned and earmuffs on, a 747-8F can literally sneak up on you.

On the other hand the last time I flew in a 737-800 I was forward of the intake and the loudest sound was buzzsaw fan noise. Not sure how it compares to other airliners but it was noticeably louder than the 757 I was on same trip.

I’m guessing the engine controller probably shut it down very fast once air flow was slowed and it’s a long inlet.

I think his helmet for pulled into the compressor, and that's what helped shut the engine down.

IIRC in that case his cranial (helmet, earpro and goggles combo) got sucked off and went through the engine, which destroyed the engine and made it shut down real quicklike.

The J52 turbojet fortunately has stationary inlet guide vanes that kept the dude from hitting the bass o matic. After walking around an A-6 Intruder up close you couldn't pay me enough to hook the front gear up to the cat. That intake is realllly really close and supposedly it had a bit of a habit of grabbing you if you weren't careful. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OswpNAH9nrk Hats off to those guys. The A-7 had a similar reputation with no IGVs.

That's steam engine technology, at best. I guarantee that the engines shutdown was a combination of poo poo from that dude on deck. (Helmet, goggles, pen, gloves, likely actual poop..) hurting the engine, and the sudden vacuum causing a compressor stall, and that engine making some really seriously upset motions. ... *waits for someone to tell him he's wrong..*
