[@stevenflier3301]

Speaking of landings... (sorry, but this might be a bit off-topic, but I was hoping you might be able to steer me in the right direction nonetheless...) I was a passenger on a plane in May of 1998 that had a near-miss with another airliner, at LaGuardia. I am talking about a big airliner, landing on runway 22, coming within 20 feet or so of another that was departing on runway 31. We went over the departing plane, as our pilot abruptly pulled up and gunned the engines, calmly announcing that we were going to go around to take a little sight-seeing tour of downtown Manhattan, which we did do (aside: our view of the WTC led me to imagine what a terrorist might be able to do to the WTC if he had a plane this close -- as close as we were -- to it). I realize this was some time ago, but it was such a significant event that I cannot get it off my mind. Since I did find a very similar (but not exactly the same) occurrence that also happened at LaGuardia, within the same timeframe (Friday, April 3rd), I thought that this might have been it, but it isn't happen at the right time (it was at least four weeks, and perhaps as much as six weeks earlier). I know the date of the near-miss that FAA has on its website (Friday, April 3rd, 1998) and I know the date of the event that I was attending, the '98 SAME Conference (Society of American Military Engineers) in midtown Manhattan (19th-20th May). From memory, I believe that I took the flight from St. Louis Lambert to LaGuardia I have found another event that was very similar in the FAA logs, but it just was different in a few specifics, and possibly off on the date by several weeks... I have reason to doubt this was the one, but still think it probably was just yet another near-miss at LaGuardia. Apparently, this incident was never reported or recorded. I didn't report it. That's what's interesting to me, there were so many people involved, pilots, tower controllers, passengers, and the incident so potentially horrific, it surprises me that there is no documentation of it. Any way to remedy this, at this late date? Or, specifically, to find out if there might not be some record of it, after all, in FAA ledgers? Thanks.

After looking at those photos of the Fearing gear assembly I forgot how much safety wiring we had to do on Jet aircraft engines and any other moving parts on the aircraft. Every nut and bolt and fitting were safety wired to each other to prevent the nuts, bolts and fittings from coming loose in flight. The real fun was safety wiring the engines combustion cans at the center of the engine. There were always a few combustion cans that were hard to get at and you had to use a mirror to see what you were doin. Thus you were observing a reverse image in the mirror while wiring the combustion can bolts. It was a challenge and took a little practice.

In 1971 the track roller bearings on the 737 wing were causing problems. They would lock up, shear the cotter pin holding the retaining nut, unscrew the nut and leave the bearing lying in the nacelle you see on the cover picture. There was a bulletin on the 737 to re lubricate the track roller bearings every 50 hours. I was a Sales Engineer working for McGill Bearings who manufactured aircraft bearings. Boeing was my customer. Larry Blakley, structural engineer assigned to the 737 wing asked me to become involved in the problem. The application and problems were similar to fish cleaning machines in Alaska (manufactured in Seattle by one of my customers) which had been solved by my efforts With support from McGill engineering dept, I proposed a solution. Last I heard, the test aircraft at United had flown 7 years without lubrication or failure. I believe my effort contributed to the success or the 737 aircraft. This scenario would not happen today because the mechanism has been replaced by computer software. Did I get rich, no, I was doing my job. McGill Bearing made a bunch of money! Iguana

To complete what you said: these trailing edge pods also reduce the wave drag which appears at high speeds. This is why they are so bulky (they could be slimmer if their role was only to cover the flaps mechanism). When this aerodynamic effect was discovered, a few aircraft like the Convair 990 were designed with dedicated "anti-shock bodies" on the trailing edges. Aircraft manufacturers later found it much more efficient to combine them with the flaps fairings.

[@Helicopterpilot16]

Shocks begin to form on the upper surface before the bottom. Obviously because the upper surface is where the air accelerates. The lower surface on modern aircraft such as A320 family and forward use the super critical airfoil that incorporates a trailing edge cusp to also mitigate the formation of shock waves. I would be cool if the fairings stayed on the upper surface like the 990. My intuition says that took up wing area on the lifting surface.

[@My-Pal-Hal]

Antoine Bonnet Except,.. That doesn't come in to play here. Good Explanation of why it would at mach-+. But these, as in most Boeing "Commercial" Aircraft. Is for ease of removal and maintenance.

Which in itself shows they don't normally experience much turbulence,.. normally. And why they were a bit larger than they technically had to be. Again, for ease of maintenance too. They are there to protect the flap tracks system from dirt and debris. And keep crap out of the gobs of butter lube within. And those are Technically Called "Torque TUBES",.. not torque rods. You have to be Good at Safety Wiring those, especially on the 747. A torque tube nightmare.

These pods under the wing are the trailing edge anti-shock bodies used on the Handley Page Victor bomber, commonly referred to as "Küchemann carrots" invented by Dietrich Küchemann, who worked for the Royal Aircraft Establishment. They greatly reduce drag. Kuchemann is also credited with the Coke-Bottle 'area rule'.

[@davidmuewie2]

You're 100% right. This isn't really covered in the video, but the reason the pods are where they are, and they are the shape they are, is due to the Transonic Area rule (as the Coke-Bottle rule is properly called). Most 3rd year Engineering students learn how to derive this rule when studying supersonic flow. Basically, supersonic flow can "choke" when "turned" too much by a rapid change in body geometry. From this concept, the ideal "cigar" body can be derived. This is more obvious in some planes like the DH Comet, where some of these concepts were implemented for the first time.

[@camillejohnson7035]

Yes, the technical aspects of aircrafts is gaining information that I refer to as a puzzle to be filled in with each piece of the puzzle. In this video in addition to seeing what these pods do, and the approach used to solve problems that can happen. I also realized why some fans addressed the question if the aircraft could be armed? It does have that appearance if one knows they are there. Continue doing what you do you do it very well as your fans have so often written. You do space the technical with incidents that happen that is also a source of knowledge that blends our learning and interest.

But the flying bug has never left me. Your videos are so detailed and informative.. and explain all possible doubts about the technicalities in commercial aviation. Thank you once again. Keep doing your Great work.

Lol not so much when you realize how many moving parts are on a jet airliner and statistically the more moving parts you have the higher risk of failure you have.

[@thewhiteeazye2728]

@@tonyjlorns1727 ? I'm not sure what exactly you're saying here? I worked on powerplants of jet aircraft for a long time I know how the religious safety checks as you call then go.

[@thewhiteeazye2728]

@- haha gosh dam I guess I have to prove I've worked on jet power plants to some nobody grammar Nazi on KZbin. FYI I was an aviation machinist mate that worked on legacy, super hornet, and growler fuel cell and powerplants at both I level and O level. I've literally rebuilt jet engines from the ground up and tested them on test stands and in aircraft.. I've done everything from full breakdowns and rebuilds to routine maintenance on every single type of F18 ever made from A to G. I'm very well acquainted to how maintenance is performed in the aviation industry.

[@terryschooling411]

I just wanted to say, Petter, that the Mentour Pilot videos are so much better than their competitors. I used to fly frequently as part of my work, flying transatlantic and within Europe, so I learned a reasonable amount about aviation matters. Your videos, however, show me that I knew very little in reality and understood even less. Please keep up the good work!

Wow, I’ve always wanted to know this myself, as I fly frequently. Passenger jets are a wonder of technology, but I’ve always been fascinated by just the design, thought, and engineering that goes to just the wings structure alone.

Very good simplification of different systems of an aircraft.

Thank you! My goal is for everybody to understand my explanations.

[@dianealenedorsey6018]

It’s impressive to me how effective you are at explaining complex topics in simple terms - especially when I consider that you are not a native English speaker. More information on the various systems of the B-737 and the military version of the aircraft would be most welcome. Thank you for the significant effort and care that is so evident in your videos.

The C 141 is the military version of a cargo 737. I had to do them in 1980s. Things are changing now 2023.

[@onevisualeye_]

They should have video of all repairs done on each plane so a pilot 🧑‍✈️ can keep the mechanics in check before flight , making sure any written down repairs need to be made where made correctly with no shortcuts . This would create more work loads but would be a piece of mind to every pilot and they would be more comfortable in ever unit they fly!!! 📝⚙️🧰👩‍✈️👨‍🔧🛩️

[@haippics]

I was a passanger once when flaps malfunctioned and we landed with a bit more speed. You have great videos on tech that has always interested me but the stuff I never botherd to look for and understand better. :) Getting just enough deeper into the rabbit hole from my current base knowledge. Thanks yt for offering these after searching basic stuff on airplane and helicopter flying :)

Absolutely amazing content Petter! This channel has improved over the last couple of years, which I love!

[@abdulasiskalid2357]

Im not a pilot or a student on aviation, but i find your explanation good, very straight to the point

[@Superutubeking]

So basically helps the air craft with drag and lift on landing. The pods are quite big as they have to be strong and sturdy to hold mechanisms. That’s the 10 second summary

[@vikinggates1723]

Great thanks from morocco....i always travel and i really appreciate all the usefull details given.

[@maxk4324]

2:07 I thought the flaps, in addition to those things, were also supposed to increase the stall AOA by allowing a small amount of the higher pressure air underneath the wing to blead through the gaps between the flap and the main wing in order to prevent flow separation during landing, when a higher AOA is needed due to the lower airspeed?
