747 The Jumbo Revolution - Airplane Documentary

[@prokastinatore]

R.I.P. Joe Sutter! You created the most awesome and beautiful aircraft ever!

[@mikes-b6009]

And an aircraft that has survived the tyranny of time with some brilliant upgrades.

[@GaryLaaks1]

Great documentary. To think this aircraft was designed without computers. Our fathers were brilliant.

[@FTube64]

Sturder

[@reubensher8144]

Bankruptcy laws protected Boeing...Bankruptcy laws in Europe & Asia.. 747 would have been dead in the water..

[@JV-nt9bp]

YES PLEASE. PERFECT AIRCRAFT.

[@filledwithvariousknowledge2747]

And all in record time for a whole new aircraft that has since not been beaten. Even the DC-10 which wasn’t developed as quickly and was troublesome and whilst some early 747’s had that cargo door issue the structure itself was sound and with the unparalleled safety Joe installed it was why UA 811 was able to reach its destination as had it been a DC-10 it would not have made it because of the cut costs with safety McDonald Douglas did

[@prokastinatore]

The queen of the skies and I won't miss just a single flight with the 747-400 or 747-800!

[@caribbeanaviator1964]

The Queen lives on. Today, I fly her on freight operations all over the world. I can tell you that the 747 has so many redundancies, that we can have multiple system failures and still continue to destination. She is a fantastic machine and I feel very fortunate to fly her, hopefully until my retirement.

2 Bad it's No Longer being produced I love the BOEING 747 and four engines makes it even better 2 me, however in the New Age saving fuel is more important than saving Lifes ?? Ow Boy how Sweet it was the 70,s when everything was Big Bad and the Best and ofcourse this 2 was my Era !! Thank you 747 4 many many Safe Flights !! Ur the First and the Best Jumbo Jet ever made !! ❤❤😊😊

[@user-pt1ow8hx5l]

It's the new age of cheap flights and - in Nortern Europe - the socalled 'EasyJetSets'! But, the 747 is braced for a comeback. With TWO engines.

Hey my brother, I just want to let you know you are not alone. My mom went Home To Glory too. It was in 2021, I am the one who agreed with the doctors to take her off of life support. Grief & Loss is a process. We are encouraged to take as long as we want to reach acceptance. My mom 20 year old woman when she got married and then gave me life. She was with me in life through my education, and my career in the US Marines. During your entire video I noticed a lot of clouds in the sky. I thought about your mom watching you from above. Keep on keeping on my brother because God and your mom got you. When I hit the road on my 2016 HD Ultra Limited I will include you in my traveling mercy prayers. Stay blessed. James

What a great documentary of the queen of the sky!❤🛫

A380 is bigger, but 747 is more beauty and iconic

[@KatK707]

Beg to differ

[@ArielCacha]

A380 is a commercial failure and it's almost retired from all airlines. While the 747 is still flying.

[@eliteiel9747]

@@ArielCacha It's coming back hard tho. Also doubt it was a failure, mightve cost them money, but won them a lot more. Trust and reputation and probably a lot of development that wont have to be done for other jets. In all the a380 surely played a role in growing airbus. They grew from 15 to 50% market share during the a380 era

[@ArielCacha]

@@eliteiel9747 You may be right about Airbus reputation, but I hardly doubt it was just due to the a380. If it wasn't a commercial failure they would still make them, and production stopped a while ago after just 12 years. The problem of this plane is, it's designed to work on big airport hubs, and neither the US (that never ordered a plane) or the EU uses that system anymore. Now it's all about direct flights with smaller planes. I read about some airlines bringing it back but it's because of the delays of new aircraft (b777x and a350). Once they are delivered I'm sure they will retire them again.

[@andrewviol]

That bird was an engineering marvel. I feel very sorry that nowadays greedy ppl for money destroyed the most beautiful airline.

[@chuckselvage3157]

My dad worked for QANTAS in the 60s,70s,and 80s i remember flying on these when i was young. I was in awe of the jumbo.

[@VideoHuman1]

My first flight in a Boeing 747 was a South African flight from Frankfurt, Germany to Johannesburg, South Africa in April 1985. For political reasons the airline, South African Airways, was not allowed to overfly Africa. Instead it circumvented the black continent to the west, stopping over for refuling in Ilhal Dol Sal on the Cap Verde Islands. The striking feature was the extra wide cabin. Twice as wide as before. Then the take-off run was extra long.

It’s not a piece of metal, it’s my life’s greatest emotion 😭

[@mikecrabbe5263]

Only 747 flew on was a Pan Am; was fun it was half empty (I'm Australian). Beautiful iconic plane; long may it's ilk reign.

[@gigihanmandarin]

Fabulous documentary! Good old days where Boeing was still caring about aircraft safety. Now it is haunting them for chasing profit over safety.

[@TheSwanies]

Watching these 2000s style TV documentaries makes me realize how far some youtube documentary makers have come. This is still a great documentary, don't get me wrong. I didn't know we could improve. But damn, we did.

[@ybet1000]

I don't see why? Sure the video quality isn't as good but you can't expect it to be.. To me, the quality of the audio ( which is fine ) and video ( old but fine ) are not as important as the "story" ie..the staying on topic .. the lack of DEI infusions etc.. they create drama by outlining problems and how they solve them .. the constant risk overhanging the project ...it, to me, is suspenseful and exciting .. it seems superior to most modern youtude uploads ( to me ) . I am proud of what these dudes achieved.. aren't you? They changed air flight by putting everything they had at risk... from the head of boeing, the pilots etc etc ..This , imho is a great US success story...My question is why do you feel the modern ones are superior?

[@TheSwanies]

@@ybet1000 It's a great documentary which is doing a good job at making the audience feel the pressure Boeing was under, yes! I agree, this is a core aspect of a good documentary - sufficiently telling us what's as stake such that we sit glued to the TV wanting to know how it turned out. Not all KZbinr-made documentaries have this level, which is why i wrote "some". What you will see however, is that certain creators really outdo themselves with visuals and storytelling elements that you don't really see in the oldschool TV documentaries.

[@XanderHerman-y8j]

Honestly I think this doco stands up today. The use pf real footage and reproduction fits so seamlessly that at times I struggle to tell it apart. It’s amazing.

[@TheSwanies]

@@XanderHerman-y8j I agree, the editing is amazing

[@declanburke2703]

I’m 15 yrs travelling Ryanair Dublin to Chania Crete ( 4 to 4.5 hour flights ) and always book seat 1A at front . Never have had a problem , staff are excellent mostly , as you say - know the rules , book seat and baggage etc and flights are always about half the competition !! Well done Ryanair ! I certainly wouldn’t be travelling as much without them

[@adamjseymour74]

What a awesome airplane. A true testament to everyone that helped to design it . Still in use today, decades later.

[@anthonywilliams-vx4cm]

I like the Boeing 747 Jumbo Airplane

[@charliehorton5070]

Excellent documentary. It's a pity that Boeing now don't care about airline safety. The FAA have to be held accountable for allowing Boeing to certify the 747 Max. Bad mistake

[@FTube64]

What Sturter??

[@roinuj6691]

747 Max??? hehehe

[@tonnitoedwards]

747 max..?? Are yiu you nuts?

[@soldaat001]

@charliehorton5070, Boeing doesn't care? What's your source silly?

[@worldatpeace8979]

Says who ?

[@Adebayoonthegriotsmic]

An excellent documentary feature. Didactic, informative, fascinating and reasonably frank. The generation of engineers and marketers at Boeing loved their job and cared about passenger safety. These are attributes those who work for the company today must imbibe.

[@corrion1]

The good boeing days before the bean counters took over

[@Krysnha]

Before only count was money and was an engineer company

[@filledwithvariousknowledge2747]

Boeing has just has a CEO change and it’s been revealed he’s planning to bring the HQ back to Seattle which they should’ve never left

[@patrickwilliamcockayne5639]

I frequently took the SAA Jumbos from Johannesburg to and from London. As kids we would go to the then Jan Smuts Airport to see the jumbos arrive and depart. Spectacular. And when I first boarded one, wow. The future now! I remember a slight tension the first time taking off. It seemed impossible that such a giant could lift off. And of course it could, seemingly effortlessly. A particular favourite was a London-New York-London flight on Pan Am 747, in 1985. The two were made for each other. Now I see why.

[@gordonagent7037]

Awesome creation from the imagination and genius of some very talented engineers. I’ve always felt safe flying, never more than when it’s a 747

[@kasems1536]

I love Boeing 747,,,,,,,

[@Aussiematee]

Enjoy flying suicidal missions

[@prokastinatore]

I really hope that someday Boeing will work on a B 747 wich flies with a lower consumption less weight.l There are so many opportunities and choices if young people work on a new generation . So many passengers would appreciate it! The queen of the skies is always on demand and it's only the airline who does not want to order what all travelers appreciate.

[@MrSigmatico]

The 747 as it’s an amazing aircraft from conception right through the upgrades it’s had the over the years. I do hope that the 747 will continue to be produced and that it’s not affected by the recent breeches in quality and component failure of Boeing products in recent times.

🎉thankyou

[@ThorsteinKlingenberg]

Funny, a long documentary praising how awesome it is. But includes the crash where the faulty designed cargo door killed passengers. And adding the legendary quote "If it's not Boeing I'm not going". Oh how bad they've messed the company up... With the MAX8 with it's crashes and deaths, Dreamliner battery fires, a 777-X many many issues that seemingly never will get it certified, etc, etc.. If it's Boeing, I'm not going!
