British Airways 777 - Awesome GE-90 power takeoff to Kingston Jamaica

[@gangster3591]

The climb rate! Those GE90 engines are unbelievably powerful

[@margaretroselle8610]

Jet engines are incredible.......they have always fascinated me.

[@rohanbhobe9562]

I think this is full power never heard this sound before

[@Tpr_1808]

​@@rohanbhobe9562It's also because older GE90s had the straight fanblades instead of the swept ones on the 777-300er

[@genuinebmwrepairs4286]

The power of the GE 90is frightening

[@aarnage2189]

I'd say Sexy and amazing

[@sol2wit781]

whats so frightening about it?

[@franzfonteine8395]

genuine bmw

[@davidca96]

You should look at the numbers of the amount of air those things suck in every second, its actually amazing.

[@metalfoot]

but BA opts for Rolls-Royce not GE...

[@NovaAviation]

Out of all the videos I’ve seen of the 777 taking off, this is my favorite one. The sound is so incredible!

[@Odontomango]

Holy cow, this video is 8 years old but this might be one of the clearest GE90 sound I've seen. Usually, when they go TO/GA, most people's camera mic would peaked and it'd just partially deafen the sound, making the sound very unclear. Only until they put in the climb power, that's when the sound is lowered enough for the camera mic to pick up properly and we can actually hear the sound clearly. But this video picked up the TO/GA sound beautifully. Very clear, from Take off to Climb.

[@Wherecharliegoes]

I actually cannot get over the sound this thing makes 😍🔥

[@jeffreymorris11]

The superlative GE90s, they just give the desired thrust so effortlessly. Awesome! Wow!!

[@BYRDE1917]

Nothing beats the GE-90 FULL power take-off sound

[@davidca96]

PW4000's sound fantastic at full throttle too.

[@davecrupel2817]

@Jeff C No. It is *full power.* In fact, "full power" is a step below "full takeoff power" What you see in this video is that mighty engine pushed to it's absolute design limit for about a minute. It's ill advised to run any turbine engine at "MAX T/O" for more than 1-5 minutes depending on the manufacturer. And if you manage to get it to spin faster, it has to be overhauled. And i don't want to imagine how much a ge90 overhaul costs.

[@davecrupel2817]

@Jeff C I'll elaborate. TL:DR the difference between max and max takeoff is the difference between a functioning engine and an exploding engine. Full contextual explanation below In the industry, "full power" is universally considered the highest setting you can run the engine at for an indefinite amount of time. Be it for high power cruising or running on 1 engine or whatever. Full takeoff power is designated for the highest power setting you can safely push the engine to without immediately tearing it apart from overpower. Engine manufacturers tend to seperate the allowed extra power settings by the amount of time you can safely sustain them. You can think of this like the speedometer on your car. 1-6000 rpm is an acceptable range. You can (theoretically) run your engine at any of those speeds indefinitely. "Max power" would be the same as the 6000 rpm. "Max takeoff power" is the red zone. You can get your engine up to those extreme RPMs for a very brief amount of time. The higher you go, the shorter amount of time. This may seem overly complicated. But its all made so for the pilots and for us maintenance guys. The pilots, with this knowledge, know the exact performance limits of their plane so they can effectively control it without risking it or any of it's occupants or cargo. I'll give you another set of categories to prove the insanity of it all. There's at least 6 different categories of airspeeds for an airplane. Stall speed empty, stall speed full, max maneuvering speed, max cruising speed, max speed, and overspeed. If it doesnt matter, why do the pilots bring down the ge90's power shortly after takeoff? Because if they kept it at that power setting, it would start to overheat and rip itself apart. And this is important for us in maintenance too. It helps us know what our airplane has been through, what it's been subjected to, and the appropriate kinds of work that may or may not be done on it. That's why there is a difference between "max power" and "max takeoff" Source: am aircraft mechanic. And if you ask any experienced pilot about this, they'll tell you the same thing. If they take their job seriously.

[@davecrupel2817]

@Jeff C And what makes you think so?

[@ag6371]

This is the GE90 from the 777-200ER not the 777-300ER

[@deroadrunnachanderbhan.8111]

That was a super fast roll!

[@antcraft3590]

Nice video! Fun fact: the plane next to you at the beginning, G-VIIR, was actually the exact plane I flew on when coming back from Cancún a few years ago.

[@rohanbhobe9562]

Man the takeoff...Best sound ever.

[@VoraciousAvgeek]

aaah, amazing sound. The best engines: GE90, RB211, and TF39!

[@VoraciousAvgeek]

[@sol2wit781]

that is why I love GE and PW and somtimes rolls royce like trent 900 and a330-300 and 200

[@dhtelevision]

[@rohanbhobe9562]

Need at least 4 GE90's

[@VoraciousAvgeek]

the 777, where all three engine options sound nice!!!

[@erichjeske]

Mich faszinieren diese GE-90 Triebwerke insofern, dass nur zwei von Ihnen ein so riesiges Flugzeug (das wohl Beste der Welt) mit Formel 1 Power in die Luft bringen. Die Boeing 777 ist ein super Flugzeug. Möchte gerne mal Fluggast sein.

[@jordan4541]

Bow down to the almighty GE90!! I could feel the power through my computer

[@ClearSkyProductions777]

This is fantastic! Great capture 👍

[@joshuahalla.k.a.controlla6333]

Great video.☺️ The British Airways Boeing 77-200ER with a set of two GE90-94B engines are my most favourite aircraft ever.☺️

[@billarmstrong8224]

What a great and powerful engine!GE90 were the best engines for a Boeing 777!

[@NVHSChadSheppard1]

Bill Armstrong GE90 is a beast

[@cstoreyqc]

Give me RR every time

[@sol2wit781]

cstoreyqc never!

[@ag6371]

It's exclusive to the 777-300ER and 777-200LR

[@spicytakis]

Fun fact: This is an older version of the GE90, it's the GE90-94B... The most recent version is the GE90-115B

Awwww, look at that, Virgin Atlantic cutting in line

[@dwightstewart7181]

LOL. The Virgin Atlantic plane was in the first staging line (closer to runway), while the British Airways plane traveled to the second. Apparently the Virgin Atlantic plane had been cleared to the runway first, while the British Airways plane had been told to wait for it.

[@TJWood]

12:20 is where you want to be

[@2pb]

*Shrug* What's the point in watching the build-up to a goal in football ? - surely all you need to see is the ball crossing the goal line.

[@TJWood]

To each their own I guess :) I'm happy to watch the wind up from that point as I'm sure other would too. Your video is great as it includes lots more for those that want it too :)

[@UAL917]

Has anyone noticed the 777-300 GE90-115b aircraft are a lot more insulated than the GE90-94b 777-200ER and LR aircraft

[@PlanesAndGames732]

???? The 777-200LR (why there is not a 777-300LR?) uses the GE90-115B.

[@VoraciousAvgeek]

UAL917 I noticed that too. The older GE90s actually have straight fan blades and thinner nacelles, which let out a loud growl. The newer GE90s (such as the -115b) have curved fan blades as well as a thick nacelle, cancelling out 40-50 percent of the growl noise.

[@DanielAtHome1]

Aviões e Jogos shorter the plane is longer the range

[@1GTASANANDREASCJ]

The American Airlines 777-300ER ist very loud when the engines are starting. everything vibrates and you have to scream to your seat neighbour.

[@Mike5890Aviation]

This Video Is amazing!.

[@gregorybrown7179]

im such a geek but that was sooo cool

[@smoshjkl]

Wow!!!! What a takeoff... absolutely epic sounds

[@2pb]

+smoshjkl Thanks for the feedback. With my current equipment the engine sounds - especially during the take-off roll - are very close to the orginal. There are still some nuances that lie beyond this microphone's capability. Unfortunately I'd need a professional microphone to capture those :(

[@smoshjkl]

+BArBAdos Fan It is honestly pleasurable when I see an upload from your account. I've literally watched every 777 GE90 takeoff on youtube and I can confidently assert the fact that the quality of footage/sounds in your videos is utterly unmatched. Keep 'em coming man, I'm addicted to the groan of those glorious GE90s. :D

[@sol2wit781]

This roar sounds old I mean this is an old engine and the old ge90 has loud roar and loud jet blast. But for the GE90 777-300ER the roar is quiet but the jet blast is loud.

[@SuperKingRiz]

Excellent video!

[@ells-aviation]

That sound when the fuel is introduced to the monster moooooo

[@mehujoelobonyoobonyo3858]

They came to see Virgin steal the show too :)

[@DomoniqueMusiclover]

[@SimHustler]

The virgin 747 was the best XD

[@coydog7902]

It had so much power and there was steam coming off the ground lol!

[@tomtke7351]

I hear noise of vibration. the vibration means movement. like flexing a paper clip that movement will result in fatigue...

[@thekentishtrainspotter3052]

An early rotation for Gatwick’s runway.

[@BenkertAviation]

Love the video!! Do you remember which seat this was taken from? Thanks!

[@albertogutierrez8653]

The 747! So majestic.

[@kittyNya38]

Alberto Gutierrez this is a 777

[@davebar2017]

If you.like the vibraty sound we can make any jet do that

[@christophersymons8534]

whatever happened at 14:28 was super scary

[@2pb]

+Christopher Symons Wow! Interesting spot! I never noticed this blip until you mentioned it. I thought at first it was a glitch in the recording but at the same time as the sound blip the wing flexes and there is a sudden vapour trail. Must have been a spot of turbulence. I honestly don't recall feeling/hearing anything out of the ordinary during the take off though.

[@christophersymons8534]

[@sol2wit781]

go GE

[@jamalhinkson8819]

I think those are Trent 800's engines... still a great video 👍

[@2pb]

Hi Jamal - these are definitely GE90 engines. You can lookup the aircraft ID on Google. Unfortunately from my seat I was unable to show the GE90 registration on the side. If you still are not convinced have a look at my video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bmmpn2Vnqah0pqM RR engines sound completely different to GE90s during the take off roll, GE90s are whiny while RRs are deep and grunty :)

[@jackstransport]

Roses are red GE 90’s are keen Full power, is at 12:18

[@futurepilot6749]

The sound look like trent800

[@DomoniqueMusiclover]

AMAZING

+The Aviator Don't they just? This about rounds out my trawl through the archives. Hope to put a few new ones up during the year when I try out the GoPro. I'm also toying with recording the complete 10 hour flight soundtrack to Jamaica on my next flight.- there are a few videos like this on KZbin but they are loops.

[@TheAviator121296]

I'm loving the back to back post, I'm yet to travel on the 777 but I'm hoping to, I'll be here waiting patiently for your next upload :D

[@ShaheenKhan-go6hm]

This engine definitely doesn't sound like a GE90 but sounds like a Rolls Royce.

[@websterfungirai2099]

true, sounds rolls royce. noisy

[@davidca96]

GE-90 = badass

[@MRPJC1994]

I know how it feels when a competing airline jumps the take off queue, that had happened to me before before taking off to Orlando, Virgin was airborne before us, it is so annoying. :/ Great engine view though :)

[@2pb]

+MRPJC1994 British Airways videos I was puzzled at the time at to why ATC allowed Virgin to take off first. However reviewing the video it is apparent the BA 777 was holding because the cabin crew had not yet indicated to the flightdeck that the cabins were secured for takeoff. In fact you can hear one of the cabin crew taking to one of the passengers. Once the aircraft starts to move you hear the bings meaning the flight crew are committed to takeoff.

[@CDB8939]

It may be that Virgin's ATC slot was earlier than BA's

[@stevenlarratt3638]

Or ATC will release plan3s as per their rules allow

[@dwightstewart7181]

LOL. The Virgin Atlantic plane was in the first staging line (closer to runway), while the British Airways plane traveled to the second. Apparently the Virgin Atlantic plane had been cleared to the runway first, while the British Airways plane had been told to wait for it.

[@sol2wit781]

Does anyone know what year when the 777x gets introduced with the airlines?

[@xsentinel3044]

2021-2022

[@chriskelly6285]

Aw there's one of the beautiful queens of the skies passing the window at 9min 30 that we won't see again. Coved-19 caused her to retire before her time. A total travesty

[@richard94511]

chris kelly....Excuse me, but the american commercial airlines along with some other foreign airlines ceased service of the 747 beginning in late 2017. However British Airways carried them on the latest until early 2020. The few 747's now used are primarily cargo. Reasons given were fuel costs and declined revenues. I WISH PEOPLE WOULD GET THEIR F@CKIN FACTS C O R R E C T BEFORE MAKING A DUMBASS FOOL OF THEMSELVES ON PUBLIC MEDIA!!!! KNOW WHAT YOU'RE SAYING!!!!

[@brandonmoseley7791]

You forgot a 777 engine make, which was P&W (Pratt & Whitney)

[@AndyAviation]

Brandon Moseley BA doesn't have PW

[@brandonmoseley7791]

I know that but he was asking which 777 engine we like better and PW wasn't an option, personally I prefer GE-90 but PW engines on a 777 does sound awesome

[@AndyAviation]

i think they all sound equally good lol

[@ShaheenKhan-go6hm]

Brandon Moseley, this engine is definitely not a GE90 but sounds like a Rolls Royce.

[@NVHSChadSheppard1]

The ERS only option is the GE90

[@justincui]

Is this a 777-236 or 777-236ER?

[@2pb]

Hi - G-VIIP is a 777-236ER as per the opening screen. See: thebasource.com/aircraft/b777-200er/g-viip/ LGW to KIN is one of the longest routes flown from Gatwick - typically 10 hours or longer and there are 3 pilots along.

[@kenw.1112]

The greatest thing I would want to do is pilot one of these baby's !!! There's something very special about jet powered aircraft over prop jobs. I could ride in a commercial airliner 24 hrs a day and that would be the greatest thing over anything. The TAKE-OFFS. ARE ABSOLUTELY AWESOME BEYOND ANYTHING I EVER FELT. BETTER THAN DRUGS BUT NOT QUITE AS GOOD AS SEX.

[@artcore9886]

Sure it's GE? I thought BA used RR on their 777-200's and it sounds like one too.

[@2pb]

Completely sure. BA fly both GE and RR powered 777s out of Gatwick. The GE engine sounds completely different to the RR engine during the take-off roll - contract this video with my RR video at: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bmmpn2Vnqah0pqM The GE engines have a high pitched whine - the RRs are lower pitched and "gruntier". Others more knowledgeable than I in these matters have pointed out that the RR engines have a distinctive spool-up.

[@ramonareyes9050]

Waoo good bay NYC

[@ShaheenKhan-go6hm]

This engine is a Rolls Royce and not a GE90.

[@2pb]

HI Sahaheen, Thank you for your feedback. However the engine in question is definitely a GE90. The GE90 has a distinctive whine while the RRs are "gruntier". Have a look at my video kzbin.info/www/bejne/bmmpn2Vnqah0pqM which covers an RR takeoff. The sound of the RR is quite distinctive compared to the GE90.

[@ShaheenKhan-go6hm]

BArBAdos Fan. Thanks for the correction. Regards.

[@grahamj9101]

No, it is a GE90, not a Trent. The fan has composite blades with a metallic insert at the leading edge and, equally obviously, the fan rotates in a clockwise direction, viewed from the rear. R-R fans rotate ant-clockwise.

[@larrycobb5798]

Damn looked like it was quite bumpy!

[@erichodges861]

Wow

[@Delsey0211]

17 minutes of taxiing?!?! Why on earth?!?

[@2pb]

Thank you for taking the time to comment. All comments appreciated. Taxi segment commences at 03:29 and take-roll at 12:23 so I make that 8 minutes 54 seconds of taxiing rather than 17? That having been said I prefer to offer viewers freedom of choice. You can watch the full push back , taxi and takeoff or watch only the takeoff if you prefer. There is a hotspot at 02:56 offering viewers the chance to skip ahead to takeoff if they wish - though this may not be available on a mobile device. Can't please everyone :)

I didn't know BA used GE90s on their 777s. I thought all their widebody planes used RR Trents. I guess even the Brits appreciate the distinguished roar of those yankee built turbofans LOL.

[@Bennewman11]

BA originally used the GE 90 for the Boeing 777 but now after experience they use the Rolls Royce Trent Turbofan engine.

[@ag6371]

And for their 787s they chose the Trent 1000 instead of the GEnx

[@coydog7902]

GE90 be like bruh???

[@rickybrown5817]

ge90 better not trent sound like boeing 767 or boeing 747 rb211 sound

[@american0153]

ricky Brown Trent’s aren’t used on the 767. GE-CF6-80C2B6s are used on the 767. The 747 uses GE-CF6-80C2 / GE-CF6-80C2-B1Fs / B5Fs

[@royshashibrock3990]

Was the plane really shaking that hard during and after takeoff? At first, I thought it was a rough runway, but shaky video continues after liftoff. This makes it difficult to watch. Assuming you have no ailment such as Parkinson's, you should do better in making stable video. Here's a helpful tip: rest the corner of your phone on a finger, with that finger resting against the window (out of camera view obviously). As they used to say in photography class - "good content, but lousy execution and capture, the result of poor technique."
