Manila Folder 777 - GE90-115B Thrust Reverser Demo+Explanation

[@EATSLEEPJD]

Hey Luca, you did an amazing job with the engine. I work for a company that overhauls RR Trent 800 engines in TX (Goes on 777-200's depending on airline). If you would like, whenever you are in DFW area I could arrange a tour so you can see this engine in piece parts getting overhauled then put back together and tested.

[@lucaiaconistewart]

That's awesome! Thanks for the offer. I will definitely keep that in mind if and when I make it down there! :D

[@watcheroffools366]

We have Trent’s on our trips

[@kona702]

I don't comment on videos extremely often, but this I had to say something about. I had no idea that there were people out there making scale replicas like this. This is probably one of the most impressive things I have ever seen in my entire life, and you should be so proud of yourself. You certainly blew me away and I have mad jealousy for patience skills like yours!!! REALLY REALLY NICE work Cheers, Sean

[@lucaiaconistewart]

kona702 Hey, thanks so much!! That really means a lot! For what it's worth, I've taught myself the skills to do all this. Back when I started, I never could have imagined doing what I'm doing now (in terms of detail/accuracy). If you ever feel inclined to try modeling of any kind-or anything creative for that matter-I say go for it. You're likely to surprise yourself. Feels good to make stuff!

this is just... amazing. I work at Boeing and oversee the overall quality of the airplane. I have no words to describe what I am seeing here vs the real deal that I see everyday at work... speechless...

[@lucaiaconistewart]

That definitely means a lot-thank you so much!

[@aerlial360]

This is WAY beyond impressive. I've followed your progress for years and what is most impressive is your patience in trying to make it all work to the smallest detail.

[@attanakmar334]

Your thrust reversers, door locking mechanisms and control surfaces work just like in the full scale model. This is an amazing piece of work and the final result is worth the hours spent. Congratulations.

[@davidb5205]

I'm just speechless. The craftsmanship, the detail, the creativity... I'm really blown away.

[@fanofjets]

The detailing and the moving parts are astounding! This model is a true engineering marvel.

[@lucaiaconistewart]

Thank you! Glad you like.

[@garytan18]

You are already an engineer - this process puts you way ontop of others. Now learn to communicate your expertise - at your age, you are way above your peers and show amazing engineer talent. You have the gift - you just lack the experience in the realworld. Believe in yourself and never let anything or anyone tell you that whatever you did doesnt amount to anything at the end of the day - its finding the right opportunity.

[@halesworth01]

Can I say as an Mechanical Engineer. THAT IS ONE PIECE OF EXCELLENT PAPER ENGINEERING! Well done and thanks for sharing!

[@owenhoman-booth5224]

I just don't believe that anyone could put all that work into a model like this, it blows my mind. Well done!

[@acalthu]

You, sir, are a true craftsman. I've watched your other videos as well. Never mind the fact that this is all made from paper, the mere fact that you were able to hand build all this detail, is mind boggling. The amount of planning, checking, double checking, rework that must have gone into this project is something I can only imagine.

[@spock7945]

i cannot for the life of me fathom the extreme patience, motivation, grit and determination you must have.. to bring about to life such an exquisitely made functioning model. VERY very easier to understand (even for a young kid) when simplified such and the workings are shown from various angles. one of my younger nephews around was so excited to see this (he joined in mid-way, after curiosity got the better of him amidst his playing around) Please do keep spreading your knowledge and amazing craft. *Ought to consider taking this professionally and perhaps set-up Patreon/Spotify type funding too.*

[@AmoghNatu]

I have one thing to say to you man. You are the single most amazingly skilled crafts person I have every seen and probably will ever see in my life.!! I'm nothing short of blown away by your skills. I have made a paper replica of the space shuttle myself; but that can't even be compared to the piece of art you have made! Hats off man!! I bow down to you!!

[@aeromagnumtv1581]

Have had a deep passion for commercial and general aviation, since mid adolescence, and being a licensed Aviator myself, I am blown away by the patience, skill, talent, dedication and meticulous attention to detail, being presented in all of the videos I have come across thus far, featuring this project! It is literally mind blowing! Happy/Safe Flying!👍

[@jebova2301]

That is incredible. You should certainly be proud of yourself. Most people wouldn't even begin to know where to start on making something that detailed. The fact that you knew how to do it AND committed the time and effort to making it happen shows how much determination you have. Keep up the awesome work.

[@jbvap]

Can't get enough of your videos. Nothing I love more than someone being incredibly passionate about something. Your nuts dude, I'm amazed by some scale motorcycles guys who scratch build out of plasticard. This is on a whole new level.

[@lucaiaconistewart]

jbvap Thanks so much for all your comments! It means a lot to have people out there who understand my craziness... at least somewhat lol.

[@samworrall6887]

That's paper!!!! Omfg that's awesome , I wish I had the patience and skill to do that sort of modelling

[@lucaiaconistewart]

Sam Worrall Thanks!

[@88SC]

The "racking" that's evident when you deploy and retract, reflects the issues that engineers encountered and battled on the early cascade-style TRs. Those issues were pretty well resolved by the time the 115K entered testing. Getting the three mechanically - synchronized actuators installed and rigged in precisely located fittings, mounted on sufficiently rigid fixed structure, was one of the keys. I work in that field; no easy parts to design in a TR, but it's fun and challenging. Your project impresses me to no end!

[@lucaiaconistewart]

+88SC Thanks for the info! :)

[@davidgriffiths4844]

I cannot believe 27 people gave you a 👎!!! 😡 The absolute skill in you show is stunning, nay mind blowing! A complete labour of love! Fasntastic!!! Please ignore the armchair critics who can barely make it to the toilet, let alone attempt anything more complex! You truly rock! Not just the quality of the model and the intricate CAD design, but also the attention to detail with the videos - love the side bar stats! Keep up the good work!

[@lucaiaconistewart]

Why thank you! :D

[@steelers4life1976]

Your a freaking madman. That is so badass how the engine flaps move , and the door locks, and the detail is to cool. Awesome job.

[@lucaiaconistewart]

+MrIfixplanes Thanks! I made this long before posting it to youtube, and probably should've asked you about using your video before posting publicly... anyway. Glad you like! Your video really helped me out. I pointed people to you in the description and in the annotations. And if you want me to take your clip out, just let me know.

I find this excellent, I also build model planes from paper too (scratch), however school has left me no time to be as timely with it as I expected! This summer I have plans to build the 787, from soda cans this time. Your model is truly motivating me to construct it even more detailed than I planned to, Thank you, I hope you get a big break for this! These things only come from rare minds in this world with skill and patience. Much Support from Trinidad and Tobago! Will be sharing this with all my aviation buddies! :)

[@Parawingdelta2]

Not sure if I've commented before on this one, but brilliant is the only word I can think of. Not humanly possible, but I see it.

[@cljohnston108]

Okay, this is just an inhuman level of skill! I thought I'd seen the best in modelmaking over at the Internet Craftsmanship Museum website, but this surpasses ALL of that! Tell me, Luca: Did you, at any point, just stop and go "What the hell was I thinking? I can't make stuff THIS detailed - out of THESE materials! Nobody can!" My Dad was a set designer for TV, and he always had this to say about big, complex projects: "About the time you get finished, you'll have figured out how to get started."

[@lucaiaconistewart]

I think that all the time. I am often genuinely surprised when things work the way I intended. There are also plenty of moments where I have to go back to the drawing board because something is too fine or hasn't panned out quite right. I have no idea how I've gotten this far, honestly. Practice, I guess. Anyway, thanks :)

[@TheZender74]

this is so amazing i can't belive anyone has the patience to do some thing like this great work

[@johnkaimins9998]

It is obvious that you are very very clever and highly skilled, working with your hands - VERY impressive!

[@hotelgulf]

Unbelievable that you have replicated the GE90 in such detail....in paper !

[@effiescarol9407]

Thanks to you I know how reverse thrust works. That was incredible and the design was spot on.

[@youbecha64]

Very nice job on the overall model! I just want to clarify the operation of the thrust reversers. There are levers attached to the front of the throttle levers in the cockpit. In normal operation upon landing, after the pilot brings the throttles to idle power, (full aft setting) he reaches forward and grabs the thrust reverser levers. The first bit of pull on the levers unlocks and opens all the reverser doors etc, after they are unlocked, the pilot can continue to pull aft on the levers. As he pulls back on the thrust reverser levers the engine power is increased, the higher the power, the more thrust being pushed out the reverser doors to slow the forward thrust. So on a long runway with a lightweight engine, the pilot may use idle reverse (simply the doors unlocked). On a short slippery runway (like LaGuardia in NY) he may use full reverse thrust.

[@lucaiaconistewart]

Thanks for the clarification! Good info to know.

[@adriankline1351]

Hello Luca wonderful work man, you should contact Air India to show them this, im sure they would be very appreciated of your work and the advertisement you given them.

[@joe6714]

Luca, with all respect to the great work you have done, I have to say that this work is impossible without the footprint from Boeing. For some reason you are hiding the fact, and are trying to fool everyone here, You did not design this model.

[@Oppathicc]

Joe he is just replicating an engine model from either Royce or GE (engine companies), he is not trying to 'fool' anyone, its just modeling. In fact in the description he says he replicated an engine. Also Boeing isn't the only aircraft company, however I do support them, a lot. ( I hope this isn't rude) Great work Luca! You better get hired for some kind of engine or aircraft company.

[@panterajet]

WHAT A WONDERFUL AMAZING WORK :-) I JUST CANT BELIEVE IT!!

[@Vorschit]

[@LordSirGinger]

This is quite a lot better than the sort of paper planes I used to throw.

[@deniaL202]

For anyone who wants to know 80% of the air that enters the engine goes into that outer casing. The center part of the engine does not get reversed because the outer casing supplies a little more thrust than the small inner part of the engine. The small inner part of the engine does supply more thrust when the engine speeds up (More than the outer casing's thrust when the engine speeds up.)because the turbines in the engine must gain speed to match the thrust given by the engine.

[@rapskallion]

I hope you hsve a good way to preserve your work when it's done. People 500 yesrs from now want to enjoy this. They'll have robots (3D Printers) that will make better ones, but to see what the artist could create like this will be interesting for them. When you have machines to do this It may end up being a lost art. Most people 100 years ago knew a lot about, say farming, Nowadays not so many people know what's involved. You plane will be a human marvel for, quite possibly, eons!

[@lucaiaconistewart]

+rapskallion Thanks so much! Totally agree-I always laugh when people ask why I didn't just use a 3D printer or laser cutter... I guess some people don't understand the satisfaction in making something by hand.
