Rolls Royce RB211 Spring Crank Up Tristar L1011

[@martincawley4031]

Been watching this clip for about 3 years and never get bored. Imagine having a RB 211 in your back yard

[@cccc9911]

Me too....its one of the best videos on KZbin.

Her: "what are you listening to rn?" Me: "Spring Crank Up by Rolls Royce RB211"

[@rosevan5485]

I flew as a young man with my father on an Air Canada L1011 to Europe with those exact 3 engines. My dream is not a Porche. But rather one of those beautiful engines in my family room. Their power, their roar, their elegance……. Yep… it’s a man’s stupid world. Cheers from Montreal,Canada….

[@mollyhatchet7075]

ENJOY YOUR PORSCHE ...PORSCHE NOT PORCHE BTW ...cheers mate .

[@davidca96]

you guys are nuts getting that close hahaha RB211 is definitely one of the best engines ever made. So reliable and powerful, as well as sounding amazing.

[@N330AA]

The greatest sounding engine ever made. I lament that the latest Trents on the A350 and so on have lost their buzzsaw noise.

[@adersonabreu1951]

Pois é bem arriscado nessa parte da frente então.

[@ridefast0]

In case nobody else said it, thank you guys for doing the work to get this gem working, and thank you for sharing with us. As for the tee-shirt, your wish may come true!

[@hogey74]

Wow. This thing used to run at high power, hour after hour at minus 50 degrees in the stratosphere, day in, day out. I know enough about jet engines to know the fuel burn at sea level, even at idle, is insane... good on you for doing this.

I think the RB-211 had the best startup sound of any jet engine. Cold day starts were the best with some fogging action to go with the startup.

[@jimdep333]

I remember the sound well as I gazed at the engine out the window of the Eastern L1011 i was on sometime in the early 70s as a kid while landing in heavy turbulence. The enginewand wing were fluctuating quite vigorously. As an eight or nine year old I was loving it

[@vishnusanthosh9578]

"Breaking news, earth's rotation suddenly sped up due to a homeowner's GE90 running in his back yard."

[@Toolsinaction]

Great video! Love to see the old engines still running. I am not an engineer, but I was a ramp rat for many years. The guy with the camerahas a death wish or is completely oblivious to the power of an RB211 even at idle. Especially because the engine is mounted lower than when normally mounted on an L1011. @4:40 WTF!! Even a JT8D on a 737-200 can suck you in at idle. I'm the last person to talk safety but I had to add my 2 cents. Don't want to see such a cool project ruined by sucking in a guy and his camera equipment. However, that would make a viral video. :}

[@cgsouthern]

So true, I work on 757's and would never dare get that close to the inlet at idle let alone at power. You need to come from the side just aft of the gear box and forward of the c duct.

[@mechanicalking]

Imagine if the other camera guy stood directly behind the engine for just a couple seconds, imagine what his skin would look like😲

[@jbm2002]

i thought the same thing!

[@FredtheDorfDorfman1985]

Isn't that the truth. I can't tell if he either has some brass cojones the size of watermelons, or is incredibly stupid. These guys and their equipment are way too close to the mouth of that turbofan, talk about reckless. I'm surprised dude didn't get turned into ground beef. That'd be like getting pulled into a wood chipper. When I saw that I thought holy hell, you did not just walk up to the mouth of a running turbofan. The close up video of that spinner isn't worth the risk of ingestion. Someone needs to show him the video of the aircraft carrier flight deck guy that approached an A-6 Intruder, that was on the catapult preparing for takeoff, and he was standing instead of stooping and got sucked into the intake. Lucky for him the airflow sensor caught his vest and only his helmet and goggles went through the engine causing it to spit blades and flames out the nozzle. The pilot shut it down and the guy was able to crawl back out. Said he could barely breath it was sucking so much air. His head was just inches from the intake stator vanes of that JT8A/J52-P8B turbojet.

I just love this I am an Ex RAF aircraft engineer I worked on the VC10 flying test bed that developed the RB211! I love your set up - the old RAF Palouste starter trolley to start thew APU then the APU to start the RB211 superb work guys! The engine saved ROlls Royce and was the foreruner of the BEST engines in thw world - THE MIGHT TRENT series! Do you ever run her up to FULL TO/GA power?

[@rudedog302]

In another video you can see that they are using the main engine mounts to help support the engine in that trailer. I would still be leary of taking that much above idle, due to the chance of damaging the cases where the ground handling/trailer mounts attach. Not to mention it might end up in the next town sucking all that nice equipment in the intake as it heads off down the road. Love how the RB211-22 rumbles as it transitions to idle after it lights off, great sound.

[@dtsdigitalden5023]

This is by far the most ridiculous (and most fantastic) thing I've seen on KZbin - you could only best it by firing a Saturn V rocket in that backyard. I was nearly without words until ... Question: what was the fuel cost of this "Spring Crank Up?" You folks have disposable income I'm quite jealous of. This video is by far a favourite, in no small part due to childhood nostalgia. In the late 70s - early 80s, I wandered the isles of the ElTenEleven during transatlantic flights - the parents traveled an awful lot. I still remember the terribly bad earphone audio of the in-flight videos, and the dual lead headphone jacks to watch the CRT RGB projection movies; I opted for the Casey Kasem narrated in-flight documentaries, using the analogue channel selector. All that to drown out the sweet music of these RR jet engines! How foolish. Good times.

[@chuckkirkpatrick6712]

I understand that the turbine blades in all jet engines are not rigid in their mounts, but allowed to 'wiggle' just a little to prevent some kind of oscillation. Would that be the rattling noise we hear on shut-down?

[@lijoima]

Well yes and no. The rattling you hear are the fan blades’ mid-span shrouds’ that are little bumper like objects that protrude from each fan blade that begin to contact each other as the centrifugal force reduces as the engine rotation slows.

[@docolds5017]

L1011 with the RB211 engines met Chapter 3 noise regs out of the box. Contemporary jets only met Chapter 2 regs.

[@lukedavis436]

It's all fun and games until somebody gets too close

[@mikep.5517]

Why does the RB211 seem to require both a GSE air source and the APU air for start? The GTCP85 was used on some big aircraft; shouldn't it have been able to start the RB on its own?

[@magnetstoo]

You are so lucky being in Europe / U.K.,that you can do this ! Even Canadians can do this!

[@dash8465]

That clattering noise at the end.. few would ever guess that all those fan blades wiggle around a little in their "fir tree" slots, so when they're pointed up they're positioned a little different than when they're hanging down, and so each of them sequentially transitioning between the various contact points in the fir tree results in that consistent clatter noise.

Keep it in mind, this engine was only at idle 10% throttle the entire video.

[@aaronhilsz-lothian4637]

[@bobbypaluga4346]

Craig Arndt I think it’s time to try out a new and very quick way to remove the wool, produce a hide/sheepskin in recordime as well as butchering a fine stack of lamb chops even la few broken legs of lamb, using this most excellent RR Engine. I don’t think the farmer (owner of the sheep) would mind, how can anyone oppose the advancement in the food sciences/animal husbandry area. I think I’d feed the engine using a 40-50 foot conveyer belt assembly, the away end would be set 5 feet above the engine end allowing for a smooth gravity driven slope into the engine. I know this works, I saw it being done in a Roadrunner cartoon. The coyote set up a jet engine at the end of a long tunnel, the roadrunner is being chased by the coyote driving a corvette. There is a secret exit half way through the tunnel hidden by fake rocks, the coyote pushes a button the exit opens up he gets to the main highway while the roadrunner’s momentum and the engines vacuum carries him into the blades. Somehow things got messed up and the coyote runs into the engine while the roadrunner drives off in the corvette out the secret exit. The coyote was always getting screwed like that? BTW- How many gallons or pounds or Jet A did you burn the what 5-6 minutes the engine was running?
