Multi-Wheeled Monsters: C-5M 747 & A380

[@SewerRatID]

That C5 landing is about as close to perfect as it gets. Absolute butter! That nosegear sets down like a baby in a cradle, soft and gentle. 👍

[@curtekstrom6600]

The Wing Over the Fuselage design enables the C-5M as well as all other military aircraft to approach at lower air speeds. As well as quicker Lift off during Take Off

[@griffinfaulkner3514]

@@curtekstrom6600 not to mention keeps the wing spars out of the cargo area, increasing available space and decreasing loading and unloading times.

[@AdamSeeker-k5u]

That landing was pure grease. Fantastic.

[@scifiartman8370]

I came here to see the Airbus A380 and Lockeed C5 compared, but soon realized my dad worked as a design engineer on both the C5 and a little later, on the 747. He had been working on the General Dynamics F-111 in Ft. Worth, TX then we moved to Kennesaw, GA (as Marietta and Atlanta areas were full with an influx of new people). After the C5 project, we moved to Los Angeles, CA for dad to work on the original Boeing 747 (what culture shock for the family, as Kennesaw was super rural!). How wonderful to see these great giants all landing in the same place! Amazing video, with such great memories! Thanks!

[@DjsAviation]

MONSTER LIKE!! A fantastic video buddy, keep up the good work

[@gautamsinha878]

Truly spectacular marvels of modern science which makes these MASSIVE Aircraft look weightless....as my Dad (who was a 747 pilot in India) used to describe the perfect landings...."it must be smooth as a baby's bum".

[@RM-el3gw]

Beautiful footage. It's great that you additionally added those shots at the end focusing just on the touchdown, the most critical moment.

[@stanleydsantti8352]

C-5M is beautiful !! It resembles the An 124 a lot. But my greatest passion after the An 225, is the A 380; the most beautiful among all !!

[@Terrywhitney8192]

It's just so sad that these passenger giants (not talking about the C-5 ofc) aren't being made anymore...

[@kimc3024]

Love our C5 and the Antonov 225 Mriya

[@MrCapi55]

Awesome flugsnug! That repetition of the three landings in close up, is really superb. Thank you.

[@johnshackleton323]

The Military Pilots made the sweetest landing out of the 3 aircraft. The BA 747 was all over the place, which I found interesting, especially in view of the fact that there was zero wind. Zero wind confirmation at 2:46.

[@erichjeske]

Bei dem Jumbo 747 muss unbedingt die rechte Landeklappe erneuert werden. Die C-5M zeigt eine solide und starke Flügelform. Perfekt!

[@georgemallory797]

Military teaches to keep full elevator deflection on the rollout for maximum aerodynamic braking while keeping heaviest possible normal force on the mains. That 747 let the nose slam down compared to the C-5. Passengers get uncomfortable doing a wheelie down the runway, which is why the airlines let the nose down quicker.

[@NeeChee100]

thanks for putting in the aircraft type. it's annoying when aircraft you tubers don't do this.

[@pilotbroF22]

Not gonna lie, even though each landing was beautiful, the 747 absolutely buttered that one, nice smooth flair.

[@adonislimes6156]

It's crazy to think how large a 747 is in real life, yet the C-5 & A380 make it look boarder line petite

[@bigchungus1848]

The 747-8 is now the same size as a c5.

[@canadianplanespotter]

Stellar production!!! The 747 is the least monstrous of these multi-wheelers, just because of its elegance in my opinion :)

Got to agree - from some angles at least, the other two look a bit ungainly.

[@desmondc.2351]

I just love when the Airbus aircraft touch down. No matter what calibrate of size or gear - when it touches down on the rear gear (giggity) the aircraft shifts itself down onto another level. It just looks so satisfying.

[@desmondc.2351]

5:04-5:07

[@desmondc.2351]

It just stays up for a bit then goes down. Boeing is just simple, it goes straight down. Airbus have Style.

[@andrewanane9715]

Desmond C. I know right!!!!! And when the little gears next to the main gear SHAKES! SO SATISFYING....

[@pegleg1992]

Nothing to do with the design of the plane mate it's all in the landing. The A380 had very slight bounce which gave the effect you mention

[@METX210]

When you consider the size of these planes, you've just got to wonder how can they do all that they can do, same with huge boats such as container and cruise ships. That's just the beauty and the power of machinery and engineering.

[@bigchungus1848]

Engines that generate over 50,000 lbs of thrust each, Massive flight control surfaces that generate unprecedented amounts of lift, and advanced fly by wire controls do wonders.

[@hooperjaee]

Boeing 747 is currently 50 years old

[@DanielSander]

Nice Catches bud. I got the C5 departing Prestwick the day after as it flew up from BHX during the night.

C-5M can do rear wheel steering?

[@cerberus1981]

coughargh Yes: a bit of steering to aid cross-wind landings, and a wider range at low speeds to aid ground handling. Boeing B-52 aircraft have a similar system.

[@igamealot2097]

It’s most visible at around 1:10

[@justplanecrazy5575]

the 747 looks the best

[@andrewanane9715]

just plane crazy 747 is the ugliest and most boring

[@BayAreaTraveler]

agree! A380 has be to the ugliest IMO

[@andrewanane9715]

Al's Aviation Adventures 747 big headed is the most ugliest duh

[@BayAreaTraveler]

That's your opinion. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. How silly is it to argue something that is subjective to each one of us. I think the 747 looks great.

[@andrewanane9715]

Al's Aviation Adventures A380 looks elegant and all that, 747 has this big head and a big nose lmao

[@andrewanane9715]

A380's front gear didn't bounce like 747's

[@wingmainful]

Why are the rudders active after landing?

[@verticalgyno]

to control the direction the pilot use the pedals, on ground the pedals act on the rudder (as in flight) and to steer the nose wheel. With the pedals the wheel steering have a little angle range (5-9 degrre L/R) so when the land phase end (roll out) to maneuvering the aircraft the pilot use a separate command in the cockpit (called handwheel or tiller) this command never act on the rudder. At high speed (on ground)the best effect to control the direction come from the rudder (aerodinamic effect), more the speed decrease more the nose wheel steering will have effect on the direction. Hope you understand what i mean, sorry for my not good english.

[@parkalrohit6364]

Awesome

[@marxmann3564]

they forgot to add the antonov air crafts

[@thorthegodofthunder9150]

Where is Antonov AN-225? B747 is my favorite tho.

[@edwardzen7340]

The C-5M may sound like a 747, but they're not as powerful nor performance-savvy as a 747, let alone a 777. The A380's bypass ratio is similar to that of the older C-5's, yet they (GP7200) may not be as eye-catching as the TF39.

[@alexandrosandreou8585]

Are you sure cuz the a380 engines are way bigger at 116 inches
