The JAL did not have an engine failure. The engine cowling came unlocked. Completely different. The A321 was doing a test flight. Minimum unstick. It’s part of the certification process (see the orange lump at the tail to protect airframe from damage !

[@javiTests]

I was going to comment that about the A321. It's a certification test... I guess they don't check the sources of the videos or what they were doing 😅

[@b1lleman]

Yeah, although I usually like these videos , for this one the information presented is just faulty so I gave it a thumbs down. There's no need to mispresent the facts it would have been interesting without that. shame.

[@b1lleman]

I'm pretty sure the maker of this video was well aware what was happening here. Really unnecessary to pretend it was an accident and not a planned test 😞

[@fabiobertelli]

Thank you very much for clarifying the events shown in the videos.

[@MikeC2K10]

@@b1lleman But the certification test consists of rotating at low speed and struggling to lift off, which is what the description said.

[@jeanaprewitt9658]

It was a minimum un-stick test. There's a red skid under the tail, used in testing to prevent tail-drags.

[@TexJester-no8th]

That was my first thought!!

[@Twobarpsi]

Hahaaaa!! Love those AeroSucre guys!

[@BangaloreAviation]

Looks like the Airbus A321 was performing a Vmu test. The tail skid is footed in place and the tailed is deliberately dragged to see a what velocity will the plane “unstick” off the runway. Hence Velocity minimum unstick Vmu.

[@Jeeve_Stobs]

True, but he won't update the title or description.

[@Twobarpsi]

Exactly!

[@Zerobob26]

The wing flaps are also in a downward position, the opposite position required for take off.

[@Twobarpsi]

@@Zerobob26 what? Flaps are always down for take off.

[@Zerobob26]

@@Twobarpsi Ah my mistake. I assumed the flaps would need to be up for take off, so when air hits them it tilts the nose up. Apparently flaps need to be partially down during takeoff to increase the wing's curve, important for lift at low take off speeds.

[@ECTproCycling]

Was the 321 XLR take off from TLS not a test flight? THey had the orange box on the tail whitch I believe is a sign of tail strike & take-off pitch testing?

[@louisjd3056]

probably a VMU test or Tailstrike avoidance system test

[@riaanlouw1874]

It's in an airbus site (Toulouse in France I guess) there's AIRBUS written on a building.

[@TexJester-no8th]

It was an Aerosucre test flight, to see if it could be overloaded like their 727s.....

[@CarlBrainerd]

Was obviously doing a Vmu (minimum unstick) test. Reference the tailskid installed. It was NOT "struggling to take off..." They did it on purpose to document the minimum speed at which liftoff could occur. Get your facts straight, guys.... I usually enjoy these videos, but this one was off.

it definitely exploded, a fan blade fractured and a uncontained engine failure occurred. " A JAL Japan Airlines Boeing 777-200, registration JA8978 performing flight JL-904 from Okinawa to Tokyo Haneda (Japan) with 178 passengers and 11 crew, was climbing out of Okinawa when the left hand engine (PW4084) failed and its access doors ripped off with huge noises prompting the crew to stop the climb at FL190 and return to Okinawa for a safe landing about 35 minutes after departure. The aircraft stopped on the runway and was subsequently towed to the apron.

[@princesslithium]

***DISCLAIMER*** F.Y.I. The video at 00:43 the aircraft is NOT struggling to climb. Is is called at "Drag Test" is designed to measure the impact on take off performance in the event of an over-rotation by the pilots a.k.a. "tail strike". You can see the bright orange tool attached to the tail cone to protect the airframe during the test.

That JAL is very lucky; if the cowling had smacked the elevators, things would have gone badly very fast

[@ScottPankhurst]

the B1-B did a 4-point ailerol roll, not a barrel roll. and being inverted is by necessity a phase in any roll maneuver. and the Chinook did not drop anything - the boat was slid off the ramp (drop implied being carried by sling) and the divers jumped.

[@44R0Ndin]

In that Cessna Caravan clip, the clicking you hear is almost certainly the pitch trim motor control relays, being actuated by the pilot who has the switch for control of that right on the control yoke.
