@@m93sekthe fact that twin engine jets are now certified to fly 5.5 hours away from a diversion field is simply amazing, and gives them access to something like 95% of potential routes. Really the only issue with ETOPS these days is the increased fuel burn on a single engine - one can count on everything else working just fine even if the failure was an un contained explosive engine failure. People love to rag on Boeing these days but commercial aviation has reached a level of safety not even dreamed of just 20 years ago. Every year experienced multiple catostrophic crashes whereas now the last crash most people can probably mention is the 737 max, and that was over 5 years ago now. It’s really a marvel of engineering. Commercial aviation has stalled in terms of speed and size advances but it sure had excelled with safety, fuel burn, and range.

The equipment isn't cheap, the raw material inputs aren't cheap, the inspection is extensive. But it's such an important supply chain you need to have extreme confidence in the quality. This is why counterfeit parts are such an issue.

Maybe they should offer their services to other Airlines and make money from that advantage. Be it in wet leases as long as other companies wait for a slot or even offering overhauls to other carriers. Although as Delta I'd be more inclined to offer the wet leases on the other hand when the shortgage is finally over now they have overstock planes. On the other hand they could purchase old Lufthansa A321s. Yes some of them are over 30 years old but I bet United wouldn't mind using them as long as the Max10 isn't delivered if it will be ever.

Gas turbine blades are not made out of Titanium except in some compressor blades. All blades in the turbine are cast out of nickel based alloys including single crystal blades. The weak point in a casting is at the grain boundry, so by controlling the cooling process and growing the blade out of a single crystal, you can create a single crystal cast nickel blade without any grain boundries that maintains its strength a higher temperatures. The higher the turbine inlet temperature, the better the overall performance of the engine, so the single crystal blade gives you better performance and a longer turbine life.

Actually, the airlines sign two contracts. One with the airframe maker the other with an engine maker. Most planes have two engine options. When the sign the engine contract they get to pick from several types. They can buy the engines outright and are then responsible for maintenance, or they can pay „by the hour“ or sign a „fixed price agreement „. Big airlines like United or Lufthansa buy their engines and then repair them in house. . Smaller airlines either pay the engine maker for maintenance or go to a shop like United’s for work.

Good video. One thing to keep in mind. Yes, to overhaul an engine is $5 to $10+ million. That in itself is a big amount, but considering these engines fly for years on these airplanes, think about the amount of revenue they generate for an airline. From that perspective, is not that expensive. Just take an airplane, use the average fare reported on an airline’s financial statement, multiply that times the reported load factor, and just figure out 270 days a year of the airplane flying, and see how much revenue one airplane with two engines generate. On the low end, one airplane has the potential to generate $30+ million a year. Is pretty interesting.

Perhaps the most extraordinary part of these engines’ stories is that today, when they are in flight they’re sending back constantly data to the companies that manufactured them. This is looked after by computer systems and any issues are passed up to human engineers to check out. This enables them to even contact pilots to tell them off issues with an engine during the flight. It enables them too to spot problems that need early preventative maintenance and parts replacements.

If one part fails the engine and perhaps the aircraft may be destroyed. Engines are interesting fun to work on because they're so demanding. Study how cooling air protects internal engine parts from heat which would otherwise melt them to slag. Jet fuel doesn't just "melt steel beams", it melts superalloys unless they're protected by an invisible and complex cooling air system which uses the (many, man tons) of air flowing through the engine.

You guys didn't mention the latest game changer in jet engines: the GE9X, the largest and most powerful commercial aircraft engine. Since GE's first announcement, all major jet engine manufacturers have been in an intense race to lead in this type of engine. I won’t dive into the tedious engineering details, but it’s important to note that jet engines are not only the most expensive part of an airplane-they're also a game changer for both manufacturers and operators. A new jet engine can transform a less attractive airplane into a long-range one, which is the extra mile all manufacturers are fighting for. For airplane operators, reducing jet fuel consumption-the most expensive component of a flight ticket-opens up new marketing niches. After all, an unoptimized set of jet engines can easily turn an entire flight unprofitable.

I had a dream of an airliner stuck on the ground due to a lack of fuel, on it were a physicist and his young daughter, they began writing an equation on the inside of the fuselage to try and remedy the lack of fuel, it then proceeded down the runway and did a massive u-turn at the end, bypassing a fuel tanker that was parked there. I think the meaning of this dream is that there are other forms of powering aircraft (and maybe just power generally) that are yet to be discovered (1), and hopefully people are *supporting* the research of such technologies, beginning with the theory behind it (2). Perhaps there is an element of "family aptitude" when it comes to such matters as well, with child being liable to contribute by following in their learned parent's footsteps. I think an element of "desperate need" like being stranded in the dream may help *accelerate* the process by a stimulating a sense of urgency about the whole endeavour (3). Until then I think refurbishing present technology is important, including from an environmental point of view. 1. It might help to *articulate* things clearly, I think this is all ultimately energy but it manifests in various "forms of power", internal combustion is one form of power, thrust from a jet engine is another one, there are probably many others out there which are yet to be discovered. 2. I've had other dreams that may be relevant, such as Professor Einstein explaining the difference between classical mechanics which requires contact between physical points of matter to achieve motion (such as a wheel pushing against the ground), and his pure energy theory which doesn't. I saw a vehicle being at two different locations in "space-time" and the only difference seemed to be the "co-ordinates" at which it existed. I can't make sense of it all but I'm sure someone learned in that field can do so, maybe the energy is directly related to the co-ordinates, or maybe energy itself *has* co-ordinates, and you need to *factor* that in to move the vehicle using some form of power that doesn't burn anything. 3. I think this includes the fact that the planet is becoming increasingly toxic and very much dying from burning fossil fuels, important as that may have been to reach the present state of economic development. I think the *purpose* behind all of this is critical and if it is as benevolent as can be it might help to stimulate Scientific Wisdom. It should also help to hold scientific practitioners in high esteem, including by giving them *public acclaim* for their achievements. 100 years ago the most famous person on Earth was Professor Einstein, today it “isn’t that type of person of at all”.

Fun Fact: one of the main reasons Southwest Airlines was so successful was due to the fact the only flew one plane type w the same engine type on every single plane. So mechanics only needed to train on one engine and can easily be transferred to assist in new location hitting the ground running. Parts were plentiful and easy to come by too. Not to mention their regional mindset w flights. But then again, in early 2000s SWA hedged their fuel prices successfully and paid about 50% less than their competitors, which lasted for about a decade.

I also love how you have a story on airliner engines, mention Boeing and Airubs, take not one but two swipes at Boeing, then don't even mention the fact that Airbus A320neos and the A220's using the Pratt and Whitney Geared Turbofan engines are being routinely grounded for maintenance issues due to the engine's design. Every time you take a swipe at Boeing, I am going to bring that up. That being said, yeah, I used to fly these things and I worked closely with out maintenance staff, this is one hell of an industry, and its really the FAA's fault for it being so hard to get new parts (partially, by the thing with the British company plus the Chinese component issue proving why they are so hyper, I didn't say the FAA's reasons weren't justified). There are easier ways to get these parts, but until you get through the miles of red tape to get the certifications, its will be hard to do it. That being said...how many planes are up in the air per day and how many have engine problems? Clearly, something is working.

The hotter the more frequent overhauling required. "In any system of energy, Control is what consumes energy the most. No energy store holds enough energy to extract an amount of energy equal to the total energy it stores. No system of energy can deliver sum useful energy in excess of the total energy put into constructing it. This universal truth applies to all systems. Energy, like time, flows from past to future" (2017).

No one is mentioning that the exotic alloys these engine parts are made of come from the Ukrainian and Russia. That’s why parts are unavailable.

What’s the actual story about why they’re so far behind? Did they just stop all work during the pandemic until demand surged? Cause that would make sense given how stupid corporations are.
@John-bi1lv2 ай бұрын
It's a complicated story. Certainly part of it is pandemic related in that work certainly slowed during the period. Restrictions on in person work during lock downs etc. Also just so much less flying during the period that impacted engine maker revenue since most engines are now sold on a power by the hour maintenance contract with the OEM. However, the biggest longer term issue (which was covered in the story at a high level), is the new generation engines are requiring a lot more maintenance and part replacements. PW and RR both have had major issues with their latest generation of engines. Demand is exceeding supply.

Airlines and engine companies cannot find decent workers with experience as the aviation world has such a bad reputation of low pay and layoffs so they hire inexperienced workers which causes a lot of damage to the airplanes and components as pre Covid massive layoffs and older experienced mechanics left for other professions bottom line Bad management decisions as usual 😢

Everyone in the repair facility looked to be over 40. This speaks volumes about the younger generations and their lack of focus and lack of attention to detail.

Or the fact many manufacturing skills have been farmed out overseas so younger people don't want to enter an industry where they don't see a future, led by accountants who put profit over safety or quality

Also corrosive to the workforce is a mindset carry-over from exposure to the computer/consumer electronics industry that some failure is ok, expected, or can be tolerated to some extent. In aeronautics , failure is simply NOT an option….for any working part, person, or organization. Very high stakes enterprise.

@@T.S.-eo7my Yes, very high stakes. Many catastrophic accidents were caused by improper maintenance work performed in the interests of time savings or convenience.

If the newer engines are costing more to maintain, are the fuel savings that much more? No point in saving $1M/yr in fuel, but you have to spend $6M to overhaul it every 5yrs?

The problem is that the more efficient you try to make an engine, you are also equally more likely to have a catastrophic failure. The bigger the stakes, the bigger the loss
