747 Tire Explosion And Bird Strike On The Same Takeoff

​@@fluchterschoenat the distance the sound would've taken longer to reach the Camera but instead it was exact same timing as "impact"

[@panda4247]

It was more likely the noise of the blown tire, or a completely coincidental random noise. If you are 3+km from the air plane (reasonable guess, what's the runway length + you are farther from it), then the aound travels some 9+ seconds to you

[@mkvv5687]

[@IAmNotARobotPinkySwear]

1:04 - I think most pilots have had a landing like this at one point in their career, my old air force flight instructor summed it up the best: Sometimes you just gotta impose your will and scold that plane "NO. BAD BOY! DOWN BOY, DOWN!" Been there, done that lol 😂 The very last one I did like this, I was on go pills and had been operating for almost 8 hours (not including all the fun stuff that goes w/ preflights and debrief, etc). There was no fucking way I was going to do a go around, its either I get down or I die (that was literally my brain on finals)

[@TexJester-no8th]

Question - I hear a lot about compressor stalls, and the videos are usually dramatic. What causes these?? How detrimental to the engine are they? (I'm thinking something akin to detonation in a gas car engine..?)

[@CerberusTenshi]

Quick and easy explanation: Compressor stalls occur, when the air flow inside the compressor is disrupted. There are multiple reasons that could happen. They are damaging to the engine to various degrees. Sometimes you're lucky and not much needs to be replaced, sometimes your unlucky and the whole engine needs an overhaul. It is somewhat similar to engine knock in a car engine, but also not really. Think more like the exhaust valve are stuck open and somehow the exhaust gases from a different cylinder are pushed into the one with the stuck valves.

[@evaluateanalysis7974]

Amateur explanation: Something happens to disrupt the airflow through the compressor. It stalls - like an aeroplane wing can stall, because it is made of many little aerofoils. That allows the higher pressure closer to the combustion chamber to escape out of the front completely screwing up the airflow through the engine and destroying the thrust. *I think*.

[@Michelle_Schu-blacka]

How does an entire bird make it through all the sets of blades in the engine and get spat out the back in less than a second? It has to traverse through a lot small sets of blades to get to the back and that's barely enough time for the brain to cease all functions. I wonder if the engine actually uses some of the bird as fuel for a microsecond.

[@pomerau]

No one seemed to opine that the 747 bird dived a) to avoid the approaching plane, and b) wake turbulence / jet thrust behind the plane afterward. I would like to be corrected as I'm not certain about this. BTW: that bird is giving press conferences as we speak. Also that was at least two tyres letting go one after the other, surely, as they were brobably on the same axle or bogey. That Delta pilot though, nose down with no slats - absolutely brilliant surely. The front wheels on the main bogeys touched first. 767's are not FBW, yes? Seat of the pants stuff.

0:58 What a crappy weather, no wonder the aircraft refused to land

[@fluchterschoen]

That bird strike (if it was a bird) was extraordinary. It seemed to be in a near-vertical dive, which isn't something many birds do (except falcons). And the noise of it hitting the plane was audible from quite far away over the noise of a 747 taking off? *I wonder* if this could be a trained falcon used for bird control, that's gone a little bit rogue or takes (took) its job a bit too seriously?? "Must....protect....747" kind of superhero thing going on?? It doesn't seem to have been ingested by the engine, it looks like it just hit a glancing blow. Very odd.

[@HiddenWindshield]

Actually, almost all birds will dive if they're startled. It's a reflexive move to gain speed to avoid a predator bird. It's why new pilots are told never to fly under a bird if you can help it, you never know when they're going to take evasive action.

[@StuartVonTRT]

the noise was probably coincidence. The plane was far away (consider perhaps 10 000 feet long runway and zoom lens) so even if the noise was louder it will be audible few seconds after hit (sound travels at speed around 340 m/s - 1120 feet per second ).

[@mikeknowles8017]

I've seen them using Falconrey to control birds around DFW.

[@othmanem3331]

​@@StuartVonTRT you're right and maybe the sound is the tire explosion one arriving at the very exact time of bird strike!!! Another weird coincidence on this flight :)

[@thibault9741]

Can someone tell me if a 4 engine plane like the 747 ou a380 has to go back to the airport if they loose an engine because of a bird strike ? Or can they continue to their destination with only 3 ?

[@loganlwps]

Depends on the airline and destination, but they should as it would effect the control surfaces

[@RoyalMela]

If they lose (not loose) one engine, they might fly to their destination. All depends on the details. British Airways Flight 268 did that after they suffered an engine failure at LAX, but decided to continue to London. However they lost a lot of fuel and had to land at Manchester due to fuel shortage. Pilots have to adjust the thrust so the thrust is not too uneven. And that one engine which does not work acts like a huge airbreak too.

[@panda4247]

With all that being said, this was not a bird strike, the bird was doing its own thing and it just looks like it went near the engine (and the sound is coincidental... it would take several seconds to hear the sound from that afar (runway length + camera is farther back... some 3km = some 9 seconds. Definitely not an instant thud)

[@EdOeuna]

@@RoyalMelaand the FAA went mental with BA for continuing across the Atlantic as they considered it to be dangerous.

[@verifiedtoxicangel2411]

You can't reach destination if you lose the engine or have a loose engine.

that wasnt a bird strike. it fell behind the plane and then got pushed to the left because of the thrust of the engines. if it was a strike the bird would've experienced what it's like to be in a blender already.
