Flew the Fairchild F27 for many hours, it had some improvements over the Fokker version. I believe one of them was the availability of "speed brakes." The Speed Brake consisted on a console mounted switch that allowed the extension of the main landing gear. The Fairchild would lose 40 knots almost instantaneously. The whining noise was identical, though. Love that airplane!

That RR whistle is classic, but the larger Rda.10 engine took it to another level. Around September of 1965 I was standing on the observation platform at the Dallas Love Field Airport. I knew the first Dart-engined Convair 240 conversion was coming in that night, and it was on time. Not yet painted in the livery of the carrier that would operate it, Central Airlines, it was the second Dart conversion done and the first delivered to a customer. Registration number was N74858, if I remember correctly. We who worked at Love Field were accustomed to the RR whistle coming from Continental Airline's Viscounts, but the noise the Convair Dart made was distinctively louder as it taxied to the gate and shut down. After refueling and inspection by the Central employees present, it started back up to begin a pilot training flight. I watched the reaction of the people on the observation deck as the first engine came up to speed. They were looking around and trying to identify the source of that ungodly whistle that kept rising in pitch, never suspecting that it came from that rather unkempt Convair on Gate 9. When the pilot took the engines up to minimum governing speed to turn out of the gate, people began putting thier fingers in their ears. The Big Dart had arrived.

The Rolls Royce Dart engines were the first turboprop engines. They have a very distinctive sound to them. Because they are apparently cruder than the modern Pratt & Whitney turboprop engines of the DeHaviland Dash-8, it seems that they produce a louder jet whine than the Pratt's. The Vickers Viscount was the world's first turboprop airliner, and it had the Darts. In this video of the F-27, the chef cutter or "box fan" sound of the props is somewhat more audible than in videos of watched of the Viscount. In the video's of the Viscount, the sound the props is virtually inaudible. The Viscount sounds much more like a regular jet aircraft.

Having worked at Stansted in the 1990’s I’m certain they caused my hearing damage! Sends chills hearing them again. On a windy day the cockpit control column would jig around from the ailerons moving. On really windy day ATC allowed us to park into the wind. The inflight classical music on Air UK’s F 27 was on C-60 cassette tapes and described by the cabin crew as the inflight funeral music. Loved these planes, along with the HS748 and Viscount. They were like war relics!

Later on continued flying the F27 to and fro from school to Buka on school holidays then on to Uni in Lae on Air Niugini F27. While I was at uni the F27 was replaced with the F28 Fellowship in 1978.; I miss the F27 and the beautiful sound of its engines. Very nostalgic indeed.

With a twin engine turboprops, they always fire up the starboard engine first, and then the port engine. I think they should for one flight fire up port first and then starboard. Then for the next flight, vice versa, so that the engines wear evenly. Many love the distinctive sound of the "Rolls Royce Dart" engines. They seem to produce more of the jet sound than the Pratt & Whitney engines of the DeHaviland Dash-8, which is a modern turboprop that's very similar to the F-27. I myself enjoy the sound that the props themselves make, the "box fan" sound in high idle and taxiing, and the bumblebee sound in takeoff and inflight.
@MickB2352 жыл бұрын
They start the engines based on the start cycles that they have accumulated or have left on their maintenance/overhaul schedule , not on some whim of the flight crew
@richardkallio38682 жыл бұрын
I always thought they start the starboard engine(s) first because that is the side opposite the cabin door, and if someone has to deplane or emplane at the last minute, it is safer that way.

Flew it for 8 months in 1988, the whine from the reduction gearbox’s was so intrusive we had to wear tank headsets as the aviation variety’s were not up to the job, good aircraft if pretty basic, but we used it on short commuter hops so it didn’t really matter. In November of that year I converted onto the DC9, to say chalk and cheese doesn’t come close.

@neilanyon47922 жыл бұрын
The RR Dart is a very simple single spool turboprop. The propeller is geared directly to the compressor/turbine assembly. This means that the starter motor turns the prop as it is spinning the engine up to self sustaining rpm. Modern turboprops have a separate power turbine geared to the prop which is driven by the exhaust of the "gas generator" (which is basically equivalent to the Dart without its gearbox or prop). The prop does not turn with any great speed until the rpm of the gas generator has risen to almost idle speed and the power turbine begins to catch up.
