Boeing 747-8F goes on roller coaster flight

[@drnerf193]

did anyone else see that levitating shark

[@tosha723]

Wow! I'm amazed at how any human being would do this voluntarily!! I swear I would either have a massive heart attack or just drop dead I'm terrified of roller coasters and only fly when absolutely necessary!

[@Boeing]

@HDaviator Good memory ... this is actually an update to a video we posted a couple months ago.

[@andreabraunger]

0:41 flying shark

[@carllyndonnepomuceno2768]

😁😁😀 LOL!

[@edmundweber4422]

It was a privilege and an honor to operate the hydraulic presses for my father Edmund Lewis Weber owner of Weber Metal who supplied Boeing with hand forged aluminum parts not final machined. During the 1960's and 1970's

[@ralphriden8387]

Edmund Weber i helped make the rivets for some people once tryed to explain way thiers left an right rivet guns to a back yard machanic ???? my children knew this type of stuff wallkng into grade school i could not comunicate it ????? butifull days to booeing crew

[@edmundweber4422]

My belief is the BOEING company is the best manufacturer of aerospace and aircraft. I think the Apollo / Saturn V made a mark for BOEING and Weber Metals. My father spoke highly of the personnel who worked at BOEING for many years purchasing aluminum hand forgings.

[@cvebeats]

Much Respect to Engineers!

[@VitricArt]

Ok... I just found another profession I will never consider. Amazingly beautiful plane though!

[@siphanayou1157]

khmer voa

[@BillClay88]

Jesus..I knew being a test pilot was one of most dangerous job and they got steel balls..but I forget abt engineers in seats taking notes..they dont get enough credit,their nuts too.. everyone risking there lives every time they go up..crazy, think their was a tragic accident that killed all on board on a test run..

[@stebianchivideo]

Now I understand why they always tell us to keep our belt on!

[@702dirtrider]

This video shows the plane taking off at the old Norton Air Force Base which is now San Bernardino International airport, I have seen this plane many times in the air around the area in which I live and it is HUGE.

[@hitssquad]

"What if the wings snapped off?" The wings are force-tested to destruction on the ground on other copies of the plane, so they know the wings can take many times more stress than they put on them in the air.

[@BrokebackBob]

Fantastically more powerful, quieter, and even more efficient GE, Rolls-Royce, you got rick-rolled. I would be seriously concerned if an A380 did any of these maneuvers at maximum weight, so concerned I wouldn't be there. Think how many times this airframe has bee certified since the first in 1971?

[@donjwhite1]

None are so old as those who have outlived enthusiasm.

[@airplanefreaks]

The wing flex is awesome!

[@liiallliall4030]

What's that thing trailing behind the vertical stabilizer ?

[@kalahiki808]

im sure after years of the 747 being in service, and definitely during initial development in the 60/70s, they had a specific range of Gs for the aircraft to be able to handle so they wouldnt overdo any type of G test on this flight

[@danellacullen4401]

What happens if the worst happens and these tests fail?!? what happens to the test passengers/pilots? How are they to survive?

[@KylerRosen]

I believe they have parachutes. However, I am not an expert, so I don't know.

[@danellacullen4401]

KyKatRo That was my go to assumption... but im not sure how they would "exit" lol (yeah I thought about it a little too much) The reason I say that is unless they were able to get the plane at a jumpable height and speed, opening an emergency door would just suck them all out and to my knowledge, there's no rear hatch door. Ahhhh I wanna know!! hahaha!

[@ApoHD10]

+Danella Cullen the simply jump out and let the plane rash like gta

[@ApoHD10]

+Ap0calypse HD they*

[@danellacullen4401]

Ap0calypse HD well hopefully they have the infinite life/invincibility cheat activated so they can just pop back up and be about their business!! LoL!

[@HalomasterA69]

Oh my god i love this plane! Someday I will be in the flight deck, then it will be my baby!:)

[@mrgmslt]

The Boeing 747-8I is not as big as the Airbus A-380, "The Spruce Goose", or the Antonow An-225. But it's still pretty impressive.

[@StellarBlue1]

The Boeing 747 has been, and still remains, the most beautiful Passenger aircraft in the world. Bar none. We have all seen the Airbus A380, inside and out. We have seen its capabilities and interiors and the whole deal. But is there really anyone out there that can say with a straight face that the A380 looks more beautiful than the Boeing 747? Okay, if you were a Limey or a Frog, from the EU, you might say the AirBus is #1. But, we know that would not be the reality. 747 Rules the skies!

[@bagelboi66]

This is why Boeing is the best in the skies.

[@endlessglobal8140]

I love Boeing!!! I so want to be a pilot and fly a 777!!

[@KenanVideos]

0:53 can't get over him saying that with the background lol

[@ArnavDhamija]

Cool! But why are the flaps, spoliers, and landing gear all down in the animations showing the airframe performing maneuvers?

[@brendanstanton7079]

during test flights gear stays down, and they were probably testing the limits of the flaps and stalling with spoilers. I dunno, they are pushing the plane to its limit though

[@priyonjoni]

CEO of Airbus disliked this video.

[@Thewholebeing23]

747 all the way!!

[@blampa]

@MrCriticOfAll Qantas pilots don't call them Scarebuses. It's known as the A180. You bring it out of maintenance and then do a 180 degree turn to tow it back into maintenance. Dispatch reliability of the A180's is woeful at best, and after the engine malfunction last year it looks like Nancy Bird Walton may be written off as it's proving difficult to get a dispensation to allow it to fly to Toulouse where both wings need replacement.

[@barpaza]

They say it can fit the same amount of people but remember that the 380 has two floors and not one and 1/3 like the 747 so that would be VERY uncomfortable to seat 500+ in one 747... I bit of greed from airlines in order to maximize but I its not nearly as big as the 380 I flew in it last week and truly its HUGE. :)

[@marchesedesade89]

Can anyone explain me what's the reason to design that hedge of the engines in such a strange way? Reducing drag/noise?

[@MultiGrumman]

Тест Boeing 747-8F, по моему всем понравилось:)...

[@ALANSEDU1]

Fortunately I had the opportunity on July 25 to be in the plant of the Boeing Everett Tour the foundation of the future of the factory of Boeing, which saw the construction of the B787; B777 and B737 freighter, of which I am very proud because in calendas flew past the B720, B707 and Boeing 727-200 of this great American company for commercial aircraft. ASD

[@chicagoman58]

gorgeous airplane!

[@ivan_friends5953]

nice flight sim

[@oldaerospaceperson1102]

I have an idea for the design of the 747-9 already! Reply, and I'll tell you... Hint: it involves a feature the 777X will have!

[@dualinput601]

the airframe has probably been tested in computer modeling over and over + Maybe miniature wings or airframes in a high speed wind tunnel and sensor will of course register over loading of the wings before they will be damaged

[@ThinkingBetter]

How many Gs of lift will it take to break the wings on a 747 and is it even possible to reach such condition e.g. a dive with a sudden pull up.

[@dave4shmups]

Is there anything done like this for the passenger version??

[@mazhar1410]

How many feet is this???

[@c0r5e]

Any power difference between 747 8f and 747 8Continental with concern of power?

[@JulioGaldamez]

bonito e impresionante avion

[@zacharylegaspi7594]

Largest vomit comet

[@BoeingvsAirbus1578]

The A380 is bigger in terms of seating, it carries about 500 whereas the 747-8 carries about 450-467 passengers. However, the 747-8 is longer and more fuel efficient.

[@camerons97]

I wonder if they sell this Aircraft. Just interested to know what happens to it after all the tests have finished.

[@kylerider5519]

That wing flex tho

[@ralphriden8387]

Kyle Rider hi a riden here its got to be an expierience to o this typ of stuff in such a large craft i have lb piston popoer for this type of stuff can we go on the ride again willbur an orvill?? its called danceing with the anglles sine the first flight in france mid maybe lone way foo a silk balloon with a pot belly stove gracious flight

[@suzijarboe3534]

+Ralph Riden noted rather a Rollercoaster on the ground

[@jayyoutube8790]

They did a test on the ground where they snapped the wing off..... Sure you can find it on here

[@rjb073]

BOEING!!! Numero Uno in airplane building.

[@makes528]

| WRONG |

[@evenairlines]

how did they not get sick?

[@charliefoxtrotthe3rd335]

Why isn't this wonderful plane being sold? Boeing has an order for one on the books. That is it. One. Am I missing something here?

[@pahtar7189]

As of October 2014 there were 119 orders including 68 for the 747-8F shown in the video, and 78 have been delivered including 54 were 747-8Fs.

Awesome video! I luv the 747! Liked! :)

[@ichigouzumaki324]

that looks like fun....

[@DJalako]

I know they are trying to test the air frame, but what if one of those tests fail and the wing snaps off?

[@dubbedcrazy]

haha flying shark at 0:38

[@aarontull1907]

yeah what was that for???

[@likersgonnalike2167]

It looks really cool.

[@irkiIIer]

they have a fun job

[@LordFabs]

Any specific problems?

[@theartist124]

Now if only they can install parachutes on them! ;p

[@Juzi1980]

What if the plane breaks up in mid air isn't that kind of dangerous to put people in there while testing the aircraft?

[@Awesomeness6699]

Even though it says it not fun it looks like fun! Just look at their faces!!

[@Nefsen402]

Wrong. The A380 can carry more freight too if Airbus would make a freighter version. The A380 can hold 184 m3 of freight while the boeing can hold 161.5 m3.

[@ibbano1]

on 0.56 second there was an accident which been censored..watch carefully an object hit the head of one test engineers

[@bossmctroll5626]

Wait...did he say the wings are bending to a visible degree?? Count me out.

[@nickcrompton9384]

+boss mctroll A lot of planes do that on normal flights

[@porfirioflores89]

Excelentes e impresionantes. todos los modelos.

[@RyanCunningham12]

I saw my Dell Precision M2400 in there...

[@AvNfB]

What if the wings snapped off?

[@MaximGhost]

So, how many times did he say "the magic of flight" ?

[@tuttappanna1]

i want to go on one,,, can you drink coffee on the flight

[@andypandywalters]

Great stuff !

[@anniepearce1813]

No. The A380 is the biggest in passenger wise, and the Boeing 747 in size.

[@burhan999]

imagine the wing snaps.....

[@3TGV]

The A380 has more mass, making it be the biggest passenger airplane in the world. However, the Boeing 747-8 is the biggest airplane made in the U.S.A. (Airbus is a European company) Also something to know is that the 747-8 is a fair amount bigger in length than the A380. This all comes to the question- What is THE biggest airplane in the world, not just passenger airplane? The answer to that would be the Russian-Ukrainian Antonov AN-225 Freighter.

[@Jonathan.R.Pereira]

I guess they mean, It's the largest plane they have ever built ... :)

[@burhan999]

@HalomasterA69 ALL THE BEST IN YOUR FUTURE ENDEARVOUR, MAY U FULFILL YIUR WISHES

[@Fardun007]

What if something went wrong ?

[@flameout12345]

well its on them isn't it.

[@Fardun007]

Alexis Carrington-Colby State of the art modern aircrafts have time and again breached the 'failsafe' system and i do not know how you can say 'they are prepared for such a situation'. Need not look further than engineering errors and also airline policy. For example, some video in here shows how an airline would recommend not loading the fuel tank in full resulting in vapour emanating from shallow fuel inside the tank coupled with sparks from worn-out copper insulation in the wiring beneath the tank which resulted in a 747 blown to smithereens in mid-air. So if something does go wrong I hope aviation industry/engineers would come up with something which would meaningfully tackle the current threats and make air travel a lot safer than it is now.

[@Jayf1981]

Very impressive! Nice

[@a.v.s99]

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@MrBogusSmogus]

I'd have to insist on an ejection cabin or better.

[@SailingEderra666]

don't hold the wings the way you do with your offices

[@theevilmeister]

The airplane is nowhere close to breaking apart. They are operating well within it's operational capabilities.

[@323tiim]

Awesome!

[@AmericanPride1234]

Man that would be scary to know your the pilot and testing the planes limits. 5-12-13

Awesome!!

[@michal.gawron]

That's the exact reason I avoid Scarebuses.

[@aarontull1907]

the airbus a380 didn't have to do these tests?????? it would probably break anyway.

[@jsmith4538]

Nice!

[@ikolkyo967]

@Boeing I have a question to go against the A380 are you planning for a new aircraft .or you could have extended the upper deck of the 747 all the way down the plane

[@wandamccloud7630]

Airplane on a Roller Coaster Rides i hope they ate really lite or nothing at all with this experiments.

[@flameout12345]

They only test up to 2g i thought it can handle going through a storm

[@givmi_more_w9251]

+flameout12345 It can. When flying through heavy turbulence, pilots reduce the speed so when encountering a heavy updraft that increases the angle of attack (and thus lift) the wing stalls due to too low speed so the additional load doesn't rip it off. And a China Airlines Boeing 747SP once prooved that it can handle abuse up to 6Gs and stil land safely (look up China Airlines Flight 006).

[@acal1979]

so impressive

[@SlavenMansGym]

So...what happens if they push it a little too far? lol

[@5D3B1]

"Not for the faint of heart."

That is so cool lol.

Even the A380 isn't the biggest plane. There is 1 more plane that is even bigger.
