Giant RC 747 Crash

At the 2019 AvaFest in Brazil, a very large 747 made an appearance that was powered by four KingTech K140 turbines. Unfortunately, during it's Saturday demo flight, one of the wings suffered a failure which lead to the demise of this beast.

[@FlamingHotGamingYT]

After replaying the video a couple of times, my theory is that due to all the banking from side to side caused a lot of stress in the wing and therefore, caused it to rip apart. I may be wrong but that’s what I think happened.

[@jean-marcducommun8185]

Agree, but the plane should sustain such movements as they can happen any time due to wind turbulences or other maneuvers necessary to correct the flight path immediately. Good luck though that it didn't happen when the pilot needed to correct the path during the fly-by! There could be an aerodynamic issue causing banking and/or the main part of the aileron not having the necessary strength for the size/weight of the plane.

[@FlamingHotGamingYT]

@@jean-marcducommun8185 yeah, it could also be that the material on the rc version could be different to the real version which could impact the aerodynamics.

[@cessnacitation-x]

It looked unstable the entire flight, it was probably on its way to coming off, and the parasite drag from the damaged wing was causing the banking, before eventually a gust of wind or something got under the separating fuselage and ripped it right off.

[@MattExzy]

Probably a combination of a weak airframe and flying it like a cowboy. That low fly-by was very telling, it looked to be flying way too fast for what it is. Overspeed, oversized, overflown.

[@PHDarren]

Identical to the American Airlines Flight 587 crash in New York, aggressive rudder movement caused a separation. With the model add wind and higher than real life speed.

[@gamaxgbg]

@@Beaver-b1v No, the day before one of the turbines in that wing burned. Then they swapped with a new one the day of the flight, but at that point the flames from the burnt turbine probably had weakened the wing's structure and caused the crash.

That was dangerously close. Also i had the impression that in the left turn before the low flyby, the right wing was bent more than the left one. Also visible when he leveled off for the flyby. It looked slightly bend in the area where it broke later. I assume after that the wing was on its last leg.

The 747-400 is a stable aircraft, but this flight was suffering from instability issues from the start. Sadly, it appears to be a catastrophic structural failure due to wing/aileron flutter. What a shame...

[@Chananda]

Such a good model that excessive control inputs caused bits to fall off. Amazingly accurate!

[@m_swizzy22]

2 seconds before wing cutting loose, “over G, over G” You can literally see the movement that caused this... rudder, or some other potentially wind element.. coming in as he is about to bank at that speed... Newton’s Laws of motion came in hard and, luckily no animals were hurt I rewatched at 0.25 speed to see if that one poor thing didn’t get hit

[@gimmeabreak4435]

I think it would’ve been “Overspeed” instead, knowing that this was a commercial airliner

[@jonp341]

I'm not a RC model pro at all, but my initial thought after take off was the airplane had excessive thrust and it was flying at high speeds for a model jumbo jet. I didn't feel like it cruised at a comfortable speed. Perhaps the wing gave out due to structural stress as a result. Beautiful model btw.
