Every part and each bolt are calculated to hold more than worst case scenario. There was one case (737 if I remeber correctly) when aircraft lost 30% of left wing and half of right horizontal stabilizer due to very strong turbulences caused by strong wind with mountains close by - they landed just like nothing happened.

Finally. someone who is using their brain. No one can go inside a wing of these technological marvels. It's only hydraulics, mechanism and the flaps which is part of the wing. They do these videos to convince the masses that there is thousands and thousands and thousands of jet A fuel in those wings. The fuel is the air. The engine and the technology is incredible so it compresses the air and burns it as fuel. By just watching the wing it's obvious to see that a human bieng CANNOT go in those wings. When the aircraft is landing we all see it. The flaps opens up and you clearly see inside the wing/s. But humanity is brainwashed. They will stand outside of the aircraft and still believe someone can go inside those wings. No fuel in their because there are NO fuel tanks in those wings. They talk about fuel tanks and make these videos but they will never show any fuel because there isn't any. Not even during the stress test of the wings during assembly/construction.

How tall are the wings supposed to be? Because from the outside doesn't seem to be too tall or more than 2 mtrs high. Also if anyone compares the mechanism used to move the hydraulic system of the wings that just plain and simple makes the whole scientific and engineering data illogical, also why there is need to use air turbine starters? Also if it carried fuel as Mr speaker claims as nothing but the TRUTH what doss ignite the mix. Air-gas? Where is the fuel pump. The whole idea makes no sense at all whether the indoctrination is covered as education. I find quiet interesting that even in some real videos of planes on fire in the airports can last more than 4 minutes without exploting and still can't find evidence to discredit the lie about the whole crude oil itself as they say are the remaining from some fossils or Dina sours... Its there when you start to connect the dots and one issue opens up to what the CIA used for a cover up as "A CONSPIRACY THEORY" hoping the blind sheeple will follow the pattern, as its always been proven "REPETITION"eventually truth will make its way, as always. Check this video, recommended to watch it complete. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fWObgJ-LptWInKc. Also want to make sure I respect what your opinion is, wether I agree or don't, but life has fact proved government and many corporations have lie to the public in anything from drivers license when we have a right to travel, false flags to push their agendas as recently the ban on guns, the moon landing and NASA itself with C.

George, I don't speak fluent gibberish so deciphering this is difficult for me. Here is a video of two men standing inside a 747 centre fuel tank, which will give you an idea of height. www.gizmodo.com.au/2012/07/these-guys-got-inside-the-fuel-tank-labyrinth-of-a-747-jumbo-plane/ The fuel pumps, and there are many, are usually mounted in cavities under the wing or on the front or rear spar. Each engine also has a high pressure fuel pump. As your sentence about hydraulic wing surfaces makes no sense I won't even bother. You ask about air turbine starters and your link points to a video about a jet engine starter, what’s your point? It’s used to spin the engine so fuel and ignition can be added to make the engine run. It’s the exact same principle as a car engine electric starter. By your logic if a jet engine uses air to start it must run on air, ergo, a car that uses electricity to start must run on electricity. The fuel/air mixture is ignited by igniters in the engine combustion chamber. The igniters are similar to a car, lawn mower etc. spark plug. Not every plane crash results in fire, the fuel tanks need to rupture, they must have fuel in them and there must be an ignition source. Jet fuel is difficult to light unless it's vaporised so even if there is escaping fuel it may not ignite. The rest is just mad loony rambling but you talk about ‘sheeple’ yet you are the one following this drivel which has absolutely no supporting evidence. You should look in the mirror before you label people sheep. What are ‘Dina sours’? A new sweet/candy?
@lorditsprobingtime66686 жыл бұрын
David Tipton. I've just remembered something that "PROVES" trucks have been running on nothing but compressed air for many years. At least according to George Miller's logic. Up until not very long ago Mack trucks used compressed air to start too. I split my eyebrow open one time when I was working on one and another idiot who shouldn't have even been near it hit the starter. I was leaning over the right front wheel and that bloody noise they make had me launch upright and straight into the outer canister of the big air cleaner bloody hard. Gee, what a waste of good aluminium those 4 huge diesel tanks were. On a Kenworth I used to drive I had to keep filling them with around 800 litres of diesel or it wouldn't go anywhere. I know that for a fact. I actually ran out once thanks to a non working fuel gauge and a boss who'd just used it and said he'd put plenty enough in for the 1,300 kilometre trip I was heading off on. I knew I should have double checked, but he owned it and "should" have known better than anyone, he was wrong and I gave him hell when I finally did get back. I guess it must just be the Mack brand trucks that have been using this magic air fuel for 30 or 40 or whatever years. I think they must have lost that technology because I don't think they use air starters any more, poor Mack trucks boo hoo. Then again, just maybe, and just like the jet engines, they only use the compressed air stored in a receiver tank that they have to have to release the brakes anyway to start it which uses a compressor driven by the DIESEL ENGINE to refill it. OHHHHHH how the plot thickens. Or is it the heads of some of these conspiracy theorists that are becoming thicker lol.

They were all brand new technology, and the 747 was based on existing designs such as the 707, just up-sized. The entire reason for the distinctive upper deck was the expectation that all of these brand-new passenger aircraft were only going to see a couple years in passenger service, and then all be converted to Freighters when the SST's finally entered service. The 747 only had the career she had because the SST's all failed to meet the expectations of the time. Ironically, 747's are still being built in Boeing's factories, even as they're being retired from passenger service all over the world. The second-life of a freighter for the entire 747 fleet is being realized, just a few decades later than originally expected. :)

They do leak busa and it's a pain when they do but generally they are pretty good. The rivets seal themselves when they are bucked up with a gun. Where they use fasteners or bolts they are usually installed wet with sealant and then put a cap of sealant over the top. Using rivets and fasteners is unavoidable because the tanks structure is made from many parts, the Boeing 787 may change that with its carbon fibre construction but I don’t know much about them. The wires aren’t bare, they have fuel resistant insulation on them. Unfortunately that insulation failed in the centre tank and caused the crash of TWA 800 in 1996. The wires need to be in the tank for the fuel quantity indication system.

"I'm car mechanic for over 20 years and never saw a fuel tank built with rivets." Which proves that you are a car mechanic and not an airplane mechanic. Airplanes are made from aluminum, not steel (like a car) and they are fastened with rivets so that the pliable aluminum fasteners in the wing can become one with the pliable aluminum wing and bend along with it. Jet aircraft fuel tanks are not specifically built as fuel tanks, they just seal up the internal structure of the wing and make it an integral "wet wing".

@sexigrande17923 жыл бұрын
Great questions. Sum it up from experience: first tanks are de-fueled using fuel trucks which can remove most of it, 2nd there’s small spring loaded valves usually located on the lower surface of the wing and at the lowest part of the tank, a tool is used to push up on the valve connected to a funnel which can be routed to a barrel. It basically looks like a long rod with a funnel around the top to help guide the fuel down the hollow rod into a barrel. At this point well over 99% of the fuel is drained. Then a fuel tank qualified team of mechanics carry out a process called de-puddling, usually at this point there is only small pockets of fuel but workers enter the tanks with breathing air and a fuel vacuum. Fresh air hoses and extraction hoses are also attached to these tanks during the process and left to help remove fumes. Over time jet fuel does dissipate. When maintenance is carried out fuel teams monitor the air with a device called a multi raye, it reads oxygen levels and fumes. That’s a quick summary but there’s a lot more to it, also I’ll add it can be dangerous.

@herbderbler15856 жыл бұрын
The wing spars are some of the strongest parts of the entire plane's structure. They're kind of like the keel beam on a ship. They run the entire width of the wings and connect to each other at the center in a beefy structure commonly referred to as the wing box. It isn't simply attached to the fuselage. The fuselage is built around it. The center fuel tanks are formed by the wing box, and the wing tanks are integral to the wing structure with the forward and aft spars forming the front and back of the tank and the wing skin forming the top and bottom. Any control surfaces or landing gear wells are outside of the spars. Mind you there might be more fuel tanks elsewhere in the fuselage and sometimes even in the tail, but the primary wing structure and tanks use the same basic formula in all these large aircraft. If you really want pictures I'm pretty sure I can scare some up from where I work. As far as gauges go, the aircraft reads by weight because that is the most important aspect to consider for a flying machine. Aside from actual fuel mass being critical to flight characteristics and fuel consumption, volume measurements would be pretty useless for knowing how much fuel you have on board because volume changes with temperature. Planes go through massive temperature differences from the ground to 35,000 feet. The fuel truck reads by volume because they're all about the money. They will fill the plane to a specific weight as requested for the flight, but jet fuel is priced by the gallon like any other fuel operation.

Defueled. Residual fuel is dripped from the the sump drain outside the wing tank into barrels. Extraction and supply air hoses are connected to the tank. Fuel tank crew will enter with full face respirators with supplied oxygen and special fuel vacuums and rags. Over a period of time the tanks with be continued to be purged and monitored with a multi Ray sensor which measures LELS and VOCs. These readings need to be at a certain level to enter without full respiratory ppe. Even then depends on regulations for countries, companies etc. Workers are also time limited for exposer. So basically the longer it vents the better.

@@robertfreeman7916 I believe this is at a museum so it would be well dry. But yes newly opened and depuddled tanks would require ppe especially supply air. The better the fuel removal process the faster the tank can be purged. These aircraft are large so it would take awhile. An example when I used to be part of our fuel crew: we work at a heavy overhaul facility so aircraft could be in any where from 6-12 months so tanks are well vented before no full face mask is required. Now everyone has a right to wear it just makes movement harder. Cushions are used to crawl across, tanks are continuously monitored. There’s definitely some Grey areas thrown in there but there is definitely a lingering smell of fuel especially if you expose pockets of fuel removing at valve or fuel line. Ive even worked in new wings which are way better for obvious reasons. And our aircraft has a bladder tank in the fuselage which is much easier to clean. Fuel tank coveralls are a must and gloves and well. That goes without saying there’s always some kind of risk and the shorter exposure the better that’s why we were only limited to max 4 hours per day.

It's just difficult to see for the first time. I hope you can understand this. I believe you, and thanks for posting.

So does a car's fuel tank. Remember only fuel vapor ignites and some aircraft have a nitrogen inerting system that replaces the oxygen in a depleting fuel tank so combustion can't occur

Jet fuel is quite hard to ignite, its like diesel.

Allegedly, airplanes primarily run on compressed air, not jetfuel

The wiring in the fuel tank uses a special insulation to prevent corrosion from fuel, and is supported along it's length so there's no risk of the vibration causing it to chafe. Also, as others have said, it's quite difficult to ignite jet fuel in liquid form. If you threw a lit cigarette into a bucket of jet fuel, it would go out. The fumes are easy to ignite, however.

the fuel is stored in several large rubber self sealing bladders in a functioning aircraft
@lorditsprobingtime66686 жыл бұрын
Not on these big buggers sorry. A lot of light aircraft use bladders like you mentioned but that is the fuel tank, or rather, one of the actual fuel tanks he's climbing around in and it's exactly as you see in the video. Good to see someone who actually does know at least enough about REAL aircraft and not another nutter who insists they run on compressed air though, so a thumbs up for that. I may be mistaken but I think the term for this type of tank is "a wet tank".
@StratMatt7776 жыл бұрын
Even two and four seat Cessnas/Pipers/Diamonds/Beechcraft do not use bladders. Most airplanes have integral wing tanks. All airliners do.

Your funny. So when you close that hole/hatch that you climbed in and out of no fuel leaks out, mmmmmm, and where do you pump the the fuel in them ginormous metal holes?? The A380 wings are not close to that size. You looked like you was in the side of a ships ballast tanks. Show me you actually getting into that wing full of rivets and holes and cables at the top that would ignite the fuel. Tell me how many pounds, Litres or gallons go into that wing. Where's all the hydraulics for the ailerons and flaps etc

I was waiting for a train at Gatwick and watching the planes take off and come right over head. I noted that there was no exhaust visible at all from the engines. Nothing. All that fuel supppsedly burning and no exhaust visible? I also noticed I could not see any heat haze from the engine. The engines sounded like it could be compressed air making the noise. The more I look in to this the more interesting it gets. I few months ago I went to the Rolls Royce jet engine museum with some retired engineers who had designed and worked on the engines on display. There was a Trent engine on display which is used on the A380. The retired engineers who had been very keen to talk about the other engines said they could not talk about the Trent as they had been sworn to secrecy.
@hunternelson30184 жыл бұрын
They don’t look like they make any exhaust because we don’t live in the 70s anymore and jet technology has evolved past big black clouds coming out the back. There is a lot of soot from the fuel burning in the engine. If you ever look at a turbine aircraft you can see very large amounts of soot on the exhaust area. Of course it sounds like compressed air because the engine burns fuel to compress air to move the aircraft.

Maybe because engineers are working, not carrying cameras around with them 24 hours a day and spouting nonsense on KZbin. Maybe because it is so "everyday" to heavy maintenance engineers, they can't be bothered taking photos and videos of the inside of tanks. Maybe because engineers have to keep the things they carry into the tanks to a minimum so they don't drop things inside and block the intakes of the pumps.
