Private Jet Without Engines! - Tech Tuesday

Here is a look at one of our Hawker Private Jets with no engines on it. The engines were removed for routine inspections, so we are about to install loaner engines to keep the airplane flying while our engines go through the inspection. I hope you enjoy!

Thank you! Always wondered what the engine mount looked like. In Aug 1988 a Botswanan Gov’t Hawker survived an air to air missile strike. Missile did not explode, but starboard engine was destroyed. Plane landed safely….talk about a positive example to the Hawker’s ruggedness. “ It may not fly as fast as a Gulfstream or carry as many passengers, but it can lose an engine and be able to land.” Patrick from Albuquerque

It would be great to see your aircraft without engines, cause you get to see what surrounds the magic. You see where the tech end of the aircraft and the $ is at. It's something alot of people take for granted but it's really just a magical piece that changes what your looking at to a flying beast!!

[@michaelthompson4269]

Those “ports” at the aft end of the pylon are the hydraulic connections for the thrust reverser.

[@kenbryant2570]

Good to see you again Shaun. Hope things are good in your world.

[@SmittySmithsonite]

I'd wager just ONE of those engines cost 3x what I paid for my house in MA on 2.5 acres! Wow, that main brace there looks small given the weight and thrust those engines put out! I trust aircraft engineers FAR more than automotive engineers, though - case in point, just look at the latest Ford truck recall, where you can completely lose ALL steering control!! Real nice, huh? They cut so many corners they've lost track! Great stuff as always, Shaun - seeing how engines mount to a Hawker is probably something I otherwise would have never seen in my life. Much appreciated! I always love these Tech Tuesday segments. Good to see ya!

[@kevinvt4174]

Hey Shawn glad to see you back...

[@nancyinlow4904]

That was interesting😯love hearing from u...miss the cockpit videos a lot..hope those will come back one day...fly safe

[@scotthodgen5647]

Very, I enjoy your content, as always. Keep it up! I do sometimes miss Presidential 69. I do understand the limitation on not having your November # on KZbin. ...still miss the full radio transmission. ❤️🤠

[@marktaylor8263]

Really enjoy tech day, pretty cool. Nice to see you Dave, looking forward to seeing you in the air.

Shaun, excellent FM prevention by your mechanics - using contrasting color tape to cover up all openings in the connections once they are disconnected.

[@Xpyburnt_ndz]

Great to see you Shaun!!!

[@chrisk2097]

Good to see you back on KZbin

[@johns4655]

Was thinking lately that I have not heard from your channel as it used to show up on my youtube when I selected that. Please make more if you can, they were always enjoyable to listen to. I hope all is going well Sean.

[@guillaumetardieux1674]

Very informative as always !!! 👍🏻👏🏻👌🏼

[@ivoryjohnson4662]

Thank you for including us on this operation

[@williegillie5712]

Thanks for the look around Shaun. It’s pretty amazing that engine is held on by two connection points. Can hardly wait to see the power plants.

[@falgul21]

Hey !! Captain thanks for sharing awesome to see all those components !!! Safe landings !!!

[@bruschi8148]

Great tech Tuesday!

[@johnb7490]

Big difference from the F-14 Tomcat that I worked on in the Navy. Keep the videos coming love them.

[@gregf438]

Sweet video man

[@justapaxuphere7985]

Luv tech Tuesday! Thank you. People may think the Hawker is "old school", but I had a relative that used to fly corporate in the Lockheed Jetstar. Now that's a weird tail/rudder/horizontal stabilizer set-up , but good history lesson about war to corporate flight. Thanks Sean.

[@hommie789]

Shaun, that might look scary but remember the shear strength of any one of those bolts is more than the weight and thrust of that engine. Combine that with the precision fit into the bracket and it is a tight sturdy package. I work on engines that weigh 40000 pounds in mining trucks and they have only 2 bolts in the front and 2 straps on the back but this is sufficient to hold something that hauls 400T.

[@WolfPilot]

Awesome informative video! Keep em coming!

[@chriholt]

Tech Tuesday - nice! That was very interesting to the the Hawker engine-less. Looking forward to seeing the loaner engines opened up.

[@gtr1952]

Thanks, that was interesting!!

[@FlyGuyToo]

Love your videos Shaun! Not only are those 4 engine mounts the only connection to the fuselage, but they are also transferring all of the engine thrust to the airframe, while at the same time accepting additional loads that can be caused by the centrifugal forces of the rotating core, that can change during maneuvers!

[@debbyconnor9498]

Good video

[@jameskaufmann4260]

Really like watching the tech stuff. What is happening with the vette? Need update on that as well!

[@jeffreybleyer3844]

[@Ron-py7rt]

Very interesting!

[@robertmaza4272]

Agreeing with James Kaufmann! Where you been???? Missing all the videos!!!! Flying and the vette. Hope you start showing back up!!! Missed ya dude!!!!!

[@rbnhood39]

Pretty cool Sean.

[@harrythomas8868]

Shawn...thanks for this video. I of the most interesting Tech Tuesday videos you have made. Just 4 engine mounts and relatively few connections. Would have loved to see the engine remounted and re-reconnected to the plane.

[@mshafer2006]

As a Diesel Technician you would be surprised on what actually holds a engine in place. My regular work involves a engine that is bolted in by four bolts and the transmission hangs off the engine entirely there is no cross member to hold the rear of the transmission. Combined weight “Dry” is almost 2000 lbs.

[@projekt6_official]

It's amazing how little material holds parts of aircraft together, yet how strong they are.

[@HamBown]

Super cool, I love seeing "under the hood" so to speak. Thanks for sharing with us :)

Slap em back on man, I need to be flying! 😉

[@videopokernetwork6824]

Well now, that got my motor runnin'.

[@seagullsbtn]

Simplest part of the aircraft. Almost!

[@Excitable67]

That is rather scary to see how the engines are attached! :-O You'd think it would be a bit more robust than that!

[@chriscusick6890]

This is just great info. Very well presented. I wish someone could show a jet engine( cj610) rebuild process sometime.

Great vlog as always! As far as I know, they are a Great thing to have, you do not fly gliders. Lol!

[@Klaatu-ij9uz]

Always thought the engine mounts were a little more robust! You meant it when you said, "the scary part". The replacement engine crates were worth a good $900,000 a pop.

[@dougf94912]

Very cool! Can you tell us what the turnaround time is for an engine inspection? I guess it's significant so makes it worthwhile to have loaner engines to keep the aircraft flying / earning...

[@jaynichols7932]

thank you for posting. how do you like the Hawker compared to the GIV?

[@Big.Ron1]

Did they pull the huffer too? (APU). Those small engines don't weight that much, or put out that much thrust or torque to require anything stronger. You would be surprised just how strong those mounts are. Thank you and be safe.

[@kevtheis]

Only thing weirder than seeing a Hawker with no engines is seeing a 747 with 5 engines.

[@Saabjock]

Another job I've done a bunch. Are you guys running the TFE731-5R-1H engines? What are you running for the APU Sundstrand T40?

[@vetterfellow]

Thanks Shaun; 2:12 that thin cable connects up Front in the Cock Pit to the Gas Peddle?. LOL ..🤣 Stay safe. Hope the Wife and Kids are doing fine. Cheers !!***..

[@TEAM6USA]

Man that's very scary. Hope no screws left over in the end.

[@neilmekolichick6582]

Interesting

[@thunderbolt513]

Hi Sean. Long time no see. "Stumbled" one of these days on an old vídeo from the times with John. Any knews from him or you guys lost contact with each other?? Any way.... happy landings from Portugal. The engines are roughly 2.250 pounds. Just multiply kg x 2.204=lbs.

[@rikspector]

Shaun, That reminds me of a Model T Ford..... NOT:) WE miss you ,guy, but ya gotta do what you gotta do:) Cheers, Rik

How much are Hawker replacement engines for this 🛩 jet. If an owner needs to replace them.

I'd be willing to bet they are titanium

Hey Sean, awesome video as usual Captain. I do however have a question… actually two…. The tail one (apu?) section was also removed, was that out for service as well and the second question is … How is John from Presidential 69? I miss the videos y’all did. I absolutely loved your flow checks and the way y’all commented on just about everything. Is there a way to find out how he is doing?

[@kevincollins8014]

I can answer one of those questions for you. Shaun doesn't work for the same company as John anymore but John does have his own KZbin channel though. His channel is called Gulfstream Crew Vlog. Hope this helps have a wonderful day 😁

[@LifeStartCPR64669]

@@kevincollins8014 I know Sean doesn’t work there anymore. I was more inquiring as to info on where to find John. He’s funny as all hell and very professional. Same with Sean. If you find out any way I would appreciate it.
