BAC One Eleven 400 Engine Start & Taxi

[@martinsteiner8287]

Best Plane ever!! Hurrrah for the Rolls Royce Spey Engines!! I flew as achild often from Hamburg with BEA to Berlin. Great Memorys of a little boy who felt that the Lineris so big! Thank you very much!!

[@pvillafania76]

I love the engine start sound. It brings back memories. Great plane

[@richardschindler8822]

I was a pilot as well as A and P mech on corporate 1-11 aircraft. I loved flying that plane. But with the noise levels of those Speys, I now say huh, and what all the time. It was worth it. How I miss those days.

[@Delta2D2]

Best sounding aircraft startup ever!

[@Viewcroft]

That's the sound of the air-driven engine starter motor. Love it!

[@GeorgeMCMLIX]

As an aircraft engineer in the UK I worked on several BAC 1-11s during my early career. I can say, with hand on heart that the engine starter motor on the 1-11 was one of the most complex units ever! Called the Constant Speed Drive Starter (CSDS) it was a large, heavy unit attached to the engine gearbox. Not only did it provide drive to start the engine but also regulated the speed of the electrical generator. A marvel of design and engineering, and unique in sound 👍🏻

[@mytmousemalibu]

I don't think the 1-11's had air starters, I believe they are hydraulic which is why they sound the way they do. Air starters don't sound like that, they aren't that loud and usually a loud woosh of air at initial start. Most everything is air start except for the smaller biz jets. Those are usually electric. I know for sure that some industrial Speys are hydraulic start.

[@MattsAviationChannel]

Freaking awesome engine sound! WOW!!!

[@dstruckmeyer]

Used to work on these. Sounds even more amazing in person

[@darrylmarsh6847]

What a sound, beautiful looking aircraft too.

[@darrylmarsh6847]

Sounded even better inside

[@johnblunt1834]

I love the Spey spooling up too. Funny enough, the BAC111 was made two miles down the road.

[@JamieDownes11]

No it wasn't?

[@osprey60]

That is a SPEY symphony in wonderful Stereo....it reminds me of my ride in HZ-BL1 to JFK from LHR in the 1980s...a trip never to eb forgotton with three engine starts at LHR, SNN and BGR...

[@darrylmarsh6847]

That aircraft looks do beautiful.

[@marcopiscina8420]

Music to my ears!

[@marcop6713]

Non-reved many times PIT-GSO on USAir in the mid 80's. Absolutely fell in love with this aircraft.✈️

[@nicelemans]

So did I. USAIR had a Saturday flight sale for over two years from Toledo through Pittsburgh to any destination. $49 round trip if you left on a Saturday and came back on Tuesday and you got free miles. Flew to a lot of places, just because I could. Most flights were on these wonderful British jets.

[@schnellguy]

I love Bac-111s,used to go to Costa Rica on Lacsa Airlines,They had Bac-111s,pleanty of nose and smoke the way jets should be.

[@sooners2037]

That engine start up always my favorite sound

[@F3HDemonDriver1]

I wish my RC Model BAC 1-11 Sounded that good!

[@UraFlight]

Lovely vintage aircraft with the small engines

[@flymajj]

Small but deafening!

[@All_Noing]

Ian M - flymajj You should have heard them before the noise suppressors were installed.

[@UraFlight]

Thank you!

[@flymajj]

@@All_NoingI did!

[@river_dance_500]

They use to fly these in to Longisland MacArthur Airport in the 80s. Love watching them back then.

[@JayDavisPhotography]

This was so awesome !! Loved getting hit by that jet blast at the end. Ah, the smell of burnt kerosene. :)

[@tomb4568]

Rode on USAir, Florida Express, and Braniff2 BAC111's. COOL airplane!!!

[@chubbsaw]

Makes me proud to be British....

[@schnellguy]

That 111 would really sound good without the hush kit.

[@BRABAZON49]

What was the building under which the One Eleven was parked?

[@JayDavisPhotography]

It is the Business Jet Center FBO at Dallas Love Field. The BEST FBO !!

[@dave4shmups]

@flymajj Are those hush kits fitted on the back of the engines?? Great video!!

[@Schmalfonzo]

Beautiful Aircaft.

[@MegaADZZY]

How old is this particular aircraft??

[@straxwb]

55 yo as of this year

[@shikat2371]

But then you're gonna be bombarded with dozens of lawsuits. LOL Yes, I've encountered a non-hushkit 1-11 taking off dozens of times. It could wake up the dead for miles around with that extreme ly deafening engine roar.

[@Henrique-sk1qg]

English jet classic ! Pretty Bird in my opinion...

[@alantew]

Oh Believe me it did - Absolute "Crackling" thunder - Louder than John Bonhams Drum kit

[@toonmag508]

Nice livery .

[@maskedavenger2578]

Proper jet engines 👍

[@qtythandle]

Missed the sound of this plane.. soo annoyiiiinnngg🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 The jalousies of our house vibrates a lot during take off and landing🤣🤣🤣

[@allyp73]

Ah, aircraft from an ear before environmentalists tried to make everything quiet. You can't beat the sound of an old jet.

[@PeterNGloor]

If you have to live near a busy airport you will learn to appreciate quiet (and efficient) modern engines.

[@Helicopterpilot16]

@dave4shmups Yes thats a hush kit! If I owned that aircraft, I would remove them!

[@cpunut]

Yes it was a great plane after they solved the super stall issue that killed key company personnel on a test flight. It pancaked on the ground with almost no forward speed. It's a high flying tail masking issue that I think was solved by putting stall strips on the wings but I might be wrong on that.

[@1bobhodgson]

The prototype elevators only had manual servo tabs, changed to hydraulically powered elevators after the deep-stall accident. Also the inner portion of the wing had its aerofoil changed to give inverse camber to promote root stall and pitch-down. You can see the change in the root leading edge in the clip. All the new info passed freely to Douglas and others to prevent further accidents.

[@SkuIIKicker]

Not exactly, but both aircrafts use Rolls-Royce Spey engines.

[@JuanGarcia-cy8wy]

Have you encountered a 1-11 taking off up close?? I have and I don't know your definition of "good". The noise of the non-hushkit BAC 1-11 taking off is extremely deafening. You have to cover your ears to avoid your eardrums getting damaged.

[@N145PM]

.. and why would you be standing up close to ANY plane taking off? Not real smart.

[@j.o.1516]

The Trident was even louder!

[@dfolt]

Will, just remember that the User to fly in and out of Berlin-Tempelhof.

[@richardkallio3868]

Classic airliner. They don’t make ‘em that way anymore - same as cars, modern birds don’t have character anymore.

[@flymajj]

The One Eleven was special. One of my favourite aircraft.

[@richardkallio3868]

@@flymajj these used to serve my hometown airport of Rouyn-Noranda, Canada in the late 70s - early 80s. The carrier was Québecair.

[@flymajj]

@@richardkallio3868 They certainly looked good in Québecair livery. I actually flew to Rouyn-Noranda on a Nolinor Convair 580 a few years ago.

[@aviationin4k258]

Old SPEY engines

[@DT-ge8gd]

How did that thing ever fly !!?? I mean seriously... that plane has engines the same size as your average small learjet, and the same number, and we're not talking a Gulfstream jet engine size here, and yet it is at least twice the size and weight !!

[@maskedavenger2578]

Not only did they fly ,they thundered off up into the clouds with a deafening roar ,not limp like the modern jet hairdryer sounding engines .

[@ravipateluk]

In comparison to aircraft size those engines are tiny, hard to believe it will fly...

[@dumitru-christinelstefan789]

The only romanian aiplane ever built

[@747heavyboeing3]

😂

[@flymajj]

That was the license-built ROMBAC One Eleven.

[@darrylmarsh6847]

Fucking hellfiire.

[@Altenholz]

Guess, you must be really really rich to operate a jet like this!

[@tyreburster]

Apron safety doesn't appear to be a priority in this sequence.

[@747heavyboeing3]

Hushkitted and still noisy!

[@LeonelEBD]

the bac 1-11 came first but soon after the niner came and destroyed the 1-11 :S

[@lt1caprice57l]

Easy; they came first.

[@Dum.-.]

Not even that loud. It sucks

[@flymajj]

If you'd ever heard one taking off, you'd disagree!

[@Dum.-.]

@@flymajjyou ever be to a terminal with 10 b-717s those are loud

[@flymajj]

@@Dum.-. Type 'trident 1c g-arpc' into KZbin, put your headphones on and crank up the volume. Okay, the Trident was a BAC One Eleven on steroids, but you'll get the general idea of what Rolls Royce Spey engines sounded like.

[@Dum.-.]

If I have to crank up my volume with headphones on for the 1-c and the 1-11 is only a fraction then is it not the loudest thing out there? Also I was referring to the video itself and how it doesn’t do justice to the real BAC one eleven irl

[@flymajj]

@@Dum.-. I just wanted you to get deafened.... in the nicest possible way!
