Dear friends and followers welcome back to my channel! Today's video is about a very interesting topic, "How does WIFI work on airplanes?" I´m pretty sure many of you have seen advertisement for this new kind of service on aeroplanes. And a lot of airlines are suiting up the older and newer planes with WIFI antennas which are primarily installed on the upper part of the fuselage. If you´ve ever wondered what is below that little hump at the rear upper part of the fuselage, that´s the satellite antenna tracking Ka- or Ku-band satellites to receive and transmit your e-mails and other messages. And as you might not have known but airplane WiFi has been around since the mid 2000´s. At the time the ATG-system was state of the art, where you had two antennas installed on the airplane receiving and transmitting signals to land-based cell towers, very similar to the cellular network towers providing 4G LTE connection for your phone.
Over time the system advanced as the ATG system only had a narrow bandwidth allowing only 3 MBit/s at the consumer, therefore the satellite-based technology came to play. The Ku-band was introduced which was formerly used by the military. A ground-based satellite dish/antenna, sends an uplink towards a satellite, which reflects the signal towards the aeroplane. On top of the plane sits the bulky rotary antenna, which is comparable to your TV satellite dish attached to your home. It picks up the signal which is transmitted in the 11-20 GHz range, decodes the signal via the onboard server and sends to the onboard WiFi router. The speed was a lot faster than the ATG system but top out at 40-50 MBit/s. Unfortunately the system has a few disadvantages, one of them to mention is that the speed got slower and slower the more airplanes were transmitting and receiving over the same satellite. And the other setback is the large antenna, increasing the airplane weight and aerodynamic drag, therefore resulting in a higher fuel consumption. And who has to pay for that? YOU, the passenger!
Finally, I´ll mention the Ka-Band technology and what more is to come in the future.
I hope you enjoy this video!
Thanks for watching, all the best your "Captain" Joe

Because the wire would get wet over the sea

That needs making hole into the fuselage to insert the wire, which might lead to problems during pressurisation and depressurisation of the cabin. But still a great idea, the wire can double up as hanging rope and airlines can rent grappling space on wire to carry more passengers

@Captain Joe, You mentioned Megabytes per second at 2:00 but the illustration show Mbit/s which meant that will be Megabit per second. Both terms has drastic difference. For example a 100 megabit per second connection is approx 12.5 MB/S (Megabytes per second). Would you be able to clarify please?

[@kevinhayes656]

Common mistake people make. He definitely meant Megabit. No way are we talking 40 Megabyte on an LTE connection yet\

[@phgoil]

Marcus [DaSquad] 100MBit is exactly equal to 12,5MByte

[@iamedbytes]

Marcus [DaSquad] : Exactly. 8 bits, small b, to a Byte, large B. 100 mbits divided by 8 = 12.5 mBytes.

[@xNYCMarc]

Marcus [DaSquad] I was going to make a similar comment. I'm certain that he meant mega bits as a mega byte is 8 times more data. 40 mega bytes per second would be 320 Mbps and LTE just isn't there yet.

[@realsstates1180]

I like how detailed your videos are. Sometimes I learn something even from the most simple questions. So questions: Airlines prefer 2 engine airliners more than 4 engined planes, is it a matter of cost and maintenance? Do pilot trainings around the world different? Are there certain airports that certain pilots are not allowed to land/take-off without more training? What do most airline pilots/flight attendants do if they quit the airline job? Are there differences between flying into a country where the ATC are private vs government controlled? What foods do the different international airlines serve in coach, in first class (must mention air France)? In flight, the pilots are in command, on the ground, do the pilots have any authority such as calls on when airplane is not safe to fly outside of the usual checks, can the captain reject certain copilots, flight attendants? What are some of the most corageous things pilots/flight attendants have ever done that aren’t so well known like landing in the Hudson.

Nice video. I am the guy who traveled over 200k miles in two years to deploy the ORIGINAL ATG cellular system that is known today as GoGo Inflight. It started as a company called "AirCell", as an idea on a napkin in north Texas with Jimmy Ray... It started out as analog since that was the only thing available. We overcame three major things - AT&T and their constant whining about ground interference that never existed, turning the aircraft would drop the call and Learjets were bad for data during the TDMA years... 500 knots tends to screw up thanks to Doppler. CDMA saved the day. Iridium came later to solve the "we can't turn" issue. Handoff to the sky, then hand back to the ground. Pain in the ass. You welcome.

Why air planes do not have wheel spin-up system prior landing to save tyre resource? Vote up for question please!!!

[@macieksoft]

It would put on weight, draw current, take space and need servicing.

[@pepper669]

An idea almost everbody (including me) once had. Answer: Because it would add weight and more serviceable parts and the desirable braking effect makes up for the (small) amount of rubber left on the tarmac.

[@reinerzufall6829]

the added weight is not the factor. Due to gyroscopic forces of the spinning wheels, the handling of the aircraft would change dramatically in the most critical state of flight. Aircraft wheels are quite heavy, so the effect would be dramatic!

[@flywithcaptainjoe]

Great question and worth looking into!

[@pepper669]

I was thinking about some kind of hubcap that has hollow half-spheres around its center and works like an anemometer: The open sides of the (half-)spheres create much more air drag than the closed sides, so the wheel must spin in one direction when blown at.

Because of mistakes ;-) Speaking about Mode 3/A that transmits location which was incorrect because location is calculated by the radar antenna rotation as azimuth and signal delay as range which gives a kind of polar coordinates, saying that transponder code is decimal while it is octal in fact (decimal is 0-9 and octal is 0-7) and so on...

[@glengrayban3004]

Hi Captain Joe... GREAT video. So a Megabyte is 1024 Bytes and is abbreviated as MB. Notice the upper case B. To digress a little, a byte is made up of 8 bits. Think of 8 1s or 0s such as 11010100. A bit is either on (1) or off (0). In storage, we look at the complete 8 bits as a unit - 1 byte - which would represent one character - e.g. the letter ‘A’. 1024 letter ‘A’s would take up the space of 1MB. But where transmitting is concerned, we refer to each bit (1/8th of a byte) because a bit can only be transmitted as a one (positive signal) or 0 (negative signal). Therefor, we track how many bits can be transmitted in a certain timeframe - I.e. bandwidth. If 1024 bits (1 or 0) can be transmitted in one second, it is referred to as 1 Mb (lower case b). So 71,680 (1024 * 70) bits is 70 Megabits or 70 Mb. So your graphs are correct. Your vernacular should be megabits, not megabytes. I hope my attempt to clear this up was successful. Thanks again for your great videos.

+Captain Joe It's "Megabits/Sec" not "Megabytes/Sec". There's a big difference.

Captain Joe, can you make video how the luggage can follow passenger eventhough they have tight connection ? If the passenger fail to make the connection, the luggage doesn't make it as well. How that works in the last minutes ?

[@andis9076]

I agree the concept in general but how the cargo guy decide each luggage should board or get removed from the plane when connection is tight? I know in normal scenario, they scan our ticket before boarding the plane, so they know I made to the airplane so luggage should get onboard as well. If the connection is only 20 min, passenger run to next gate which could be from terminal A to terminal B, the luggage basically has to "run" as well then ? How they can separate that luggage from other luggage quickly ? Assume the luggage guy is faster, how the luggage guy can determine if they should load it? wait until ticket got scan ? How about if the passenger is faster, and luggage guys is slow, the plane must wait until the luggage loaded as well ?

[@SkyCharger001]

Most airports I've seen have cargo loading that is based on the boarded-passenger-count instead of the ticketed-passenger-count. This, among other things, reduces the risk of passengerless luggage-bombs. So, yes, even in those cases the plane will wait for your luggage, as it will be waiting for all the luggage it has to carry.

So you could watch that video for a few seconds before you've used up your data and cannot use any more. I expect there will be more data caps on more airlines so even if you're able to get enough speed to watch a video your allowance won't be big enough.

[@TypIch]

So, are you going to work for Lufthansa in the future?

[@flywithcaptainjoe]

Not that I know of

[@helpgone6573]

HELL NAH

[@kilosir]

Und hast du dich schon bei eurowings beworben oder wie sieht deine Zukunft aus ? Würde bestimmt viele interessieren. Super Video mal wieder :)

[@flywithcaptainjoe]

Danke, zu meiner Zukunft kommt in den nächsten Wochen ein Video !

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Captain Joe 🙏🙏🙏

[@jagannathk3037]

Capt Joe pls explain about different ILS systems

[@asv301]

wow - you're video length in 7:37 :P

[@flywithcaptainjoe]

Haha, didn´t realize that until now :)

[@tt2362]

megabits...

[@ruwiki]

up to 70 Megabytes would be really great, though ;-)

[@LyricsFred]

cmon dude, he is a pilot not an IT Technician, anyone can make that little mistake

[@kevyelyod1211]

Captain Joe’s videos are very funky these days! I wonder does he have a small team of media developers making the vids? I can’t imagine a pilot having much free time and wanting to spend it in front of a screen full of video workflows.

[@mywindowseat]

Couldn't the satellite antenna be built directly in to the fuselage to prevent additional drag?

[@JakubH]

I do not THINK that the CAPS int the TITLE of the VIDEOS will get you MORE VIEWS. For me personally it is a factor that makes the video much less attractive, than with just a regular title.

[@flywithcaptainjoe]

Thanks, good to know!

[@Petra44YT]

Meh! The antenna is so ugly. Why do people have to be online when they're flying?

[@flywithcaptainjoe]

Totally agree with you!

[@stevehofmaster7489]

Thanks for explaining how the wi-fi works on aircraft.Happy flying Captain Joe !

[@nathaniellaid6557]

1:48 Correction: the speed isn't megabytes per second, it's megabits per second when converted to megabytes is 0.125 megabytes per second, it's sort of a scam because most people think 1 Mbps is fast but notice the small letter b in Mbps and Megabytes is MBps and Megabits is Mbps

[@jarrodestepp2070]

Can we get a video on why we have to turn our cell phones and other devices into "Airplane Mode"?

[@jarrodestepp2070]

Adam T I know that lolol. I just want Joe to do one. Any video he makes I watch.

[@flywithcaptainjoe]

Video topic next week!

[@GhostHostMemories]

nice Top gun clip!

[@antimonni]

GhostHostMemories I was just going through comments wondering why nobody noticed that 😂

[@Sebach82]

I feel the need...

[@flywithcaptainjoe]

Finally someone is commenting on that :)

[@GhostHostMemories]

The second best airplane movie to be shown. With Airplane being first (obviously).

[@MoeyAlz]

very humble guy ! god bless you

[@ernestocolchado1873]

Nice lesson Captain 🛫

[@delareyprinsloo4718]

Why must you turn on your airplane mode during the flight?

[@flywithcaptainjoe]

Video topic next week!

TMobile gives you wifi with gogo inflight

[@ReedHarston]

Willbear and I love it. ;)

[@Quasihamster]

An idea for future videos: Maybe a series like you had about the Concorde, but about more or less legendary airlines. You know, Pan Am, TWA, Braniff, or actually why not Air Berlin. Their history is certainly not as legendary as the others mentioned, but most definitely interesting as well.

[@freddiebowers1125]

Captain Joe ROCKS 👨‍✈️

[@LabFiona]

Not megabytes per second, but megabits per second.1Mbits/s=128 kBytes/s.

[@Xerkrosis]

*125kBytes/s Maybe even just "100kBytes/s", because of 8b10b coding.^^

[@JRX6YT]

I wish it was 50MBps in flights 😂

[@user-kn2qk8ly8c]

LabFiona dayum.

[@aimanrahman5768]

You are saying megabyte and the diagram shows megabit which one is it?

[@nsx276]

Could you show us how a full autoland approach and landing looks like? Is there such a thing as a fully autonomous take off? Love the channel! Wish you did more video :)

[@siansian6834]

Awesome explanation, thanks captain!

[@marczunkler5304]

Watch Linuses video :D

[@ZweiBein]

Mbit not Megabytes LOL

[@flywithcaptainjoe]

My mistake sorry!

[@Jinn99]

Love your videos, one of the best channels on KZbin. So informative. Thanks for breaking this down.

[@masonkatz3195]

You are probably my new favorite KZbin channel
