So it's 2016 and there's this cookiezi guy who's like number 1 in the game, and then he plays blue zenith ,one of the hardest maps, with the hard rock mod (which makes it even harder). He almost gets to the end, but gets a miss on the final hard part. This play gives him 727 pp (performance points). Then later in 2017, he plays the same map, this time adding the hidden mod as well. But he goes on to miss on the SAME part, and gets 727 pp again! Then in 2020, when the cookiezi guy stopped playing, there was a nother guy called aireu, who was playing one of the most played and most well known farm map of the time. He did that with the double time mod (which makes the song 1.5 times faster), which not a lot of people can do, but even like this he holds the FC (full combo) to the end of the map where he unfortunately misses the end jumps and guess what, just like cookiezi before him, he got 727 pp (performance points). Isn't that funny?

@billlawrence18993 жыл бұрын
@@wozja One problem for many pilots lay in the fact the 727 came along early in the jet age. Although the 707 and DC-8 were there first, for many the 727 was their first jet. For those who had been flying the old piston propellor "Thumpers" all their lives, this beast that did everything twice as fast as anything they has ever encountered was a problem. It was "slick", and could get away from you if you're not right on top of it. Even compared to the early 707 and the 8, which were kind of lumbering by comparison, it would acceralate and then climb like a "Homesick Angel". However the one trait the 727 had that set it apart from even other jets was it's landing characteristic. With any other airplane, on landing, you get near the ground, throttle back to idle, raise the nose, and settle to the ground. Not with this beast! Do that with a 727 and the bottom drops out and it will hit the ground like a dump truck dropped off a 2 story building, You had to "fly it onto the ground. " Keep the power on until you have arrested the decent with a little back pressure on the yolk just a foot or 2 from tochdown, THEN come off on the power and roll it forward and down. Done right, the wheels will touch down gently. Do it wrong and you get dirty looks and caustic comments from flight attendants and passengers.

The 727 was arguably the most elegant Boeing aircraft. I fondly recall my childhood in South Africa watching the Kulula and Nationwide 727s. I thought I missed the opportunity to catch a flight on this one but was extremely blessed to enjoy two flights on this beauty with Iran Aseman airlines a few years ago. One minor detail I'd like to add/ correct: at 0:50 you zoom into the exhaust of the number 2 engine while talking about the APU. The 727 APU is actually mounted between the main gears (very unusual nowadays) and the exhaust is on the top of the right wing (often leaving black soot marks on the wing). As one of the first aircraft with an APU there was not a standardized location for the APU at that time. The location of the APU also meant that it could only be operated when the gears were down since the APU inlet is in the wheel well. Thanks for the video!

Similar issue as the 737 Max, in which the pilots were not trained regarding MCAS--which was intentional, in order to save money for the airlines--according to most of the information published. In WW2, the Martin Company built the B26 bomber which was known as the "widowmaker"--the twin engine bomber was crashing upon landing quite often. Pilots had to be quickly trained to land "hot" to avoid stalls. A lot of the re-training took place at MacDill Field in Tampa, Florida. Martin quickly made adjustments to the wing size & the B26 became a workhorse for the European theater.

Yes. It’s in the forward part of the main gear well and it extends through the keel beam with the exhaust on the upper right wing root. That and the on-board airstairs (one at the back and one underneath the left forward door oknsome models) made it self sufficient. It was strictly for ground use only. There was no need to use it in the air with three engine driven generators which could all be tied together to power any electrical bus. When the 737 came along they wanted to get rid of the flight engineer. This meant being unable to synchronize and tie generators so they used a split bus system. One generator powered one bus and the other powered a separate bus. But if an engine or generator failed that bus would be unable to receive power. So they made the 737s APU able to be started in flight and each bus can flip flop between the engine driven generators and the APU. The APU is on for takeoff and switched on before landing so power is available if needed.

Uh, why are we focusing on the number two engine exhaust while listening to a description of the APU, which is located in the right side of the main wheel well? The 727 was indeed designed for shorter runways, but ironically enough the -200 version was immediately labelled as a ground-hugger because of its long takeoff roll when fully loaded. Improved engines eventually lessened the sense of adventure encountered when pushing the throttles forward for takeoff. I first flew on the 727 in 1965 on a local flight from and to Tulsa, a twenty-dollar promotional flight American provided to familiarize people with the comfort of flying on its latest airliner. Working for various airlines, I flew on the 727 as a passenger many times in the 70s and 80s. No airplane before or since has given me such a sense of being at home in the air and safely on the way to my destination as soon as it left the ground. Can't explain it, but a lot of other people seem to feel the same way.

I also heard the 727 design was influenced by the previous introduction of the Caravelle and its two-rear engines.

G'day Simple, I had a good mate who flew C-47s with the RAAF during WW2. He later flew for one of our domestic carriers; firstly on the few remaining DC-3s then on Viscounts and Electras before converting to the 727. He retired his flying career on 727s. He told me he would always love his old Dakotas, but stressed he thought the 727 was the best commercial aircraft he'd flown. He told me he could have 'put it down' just about anywhere and get it into fields that had never seen a large multi-engined aircraft before. I always enjoyed flying on the 727 but that was back when airlines didn't pack in passengers like sardines. It might have been noisy to outsiders but if you were seated anywhere forward of the wings it was an amazingly quiet flight. Many were sorry to see it go. As for the 737 MAX, although it may come back to us as the safest, most over engineered and most examined airframe in the world, I'll still give it a bit of time in the air before I'll book seats.

I believe the problem was that pilots of the time did not plan for the slow spool up time related to the jet engine. Many of the airline pilots of that era transitioned from the straight wing/piston engined airliners. I don’t think it had anything to do with flap design, but more to do with the swept wing design characteristics. Nothing wrong with the 737MAX either. I just did my recurrent training with two runaway stab events, and they were very easily handled. The MAX was the first airplane to be grounded by the media. Boeing still builds the best airplanes.
@calvinnickel99954 жыл бұрын
Then you’d know that MCAS isn’t a stab runaway. Yeah.. you see the trim wheels going a million miles an hour and the control forces increasing, it’s pretty easy to hit the stab trim cutoff. What’s not so easy is getting a stick shaker telling you you’re stalling combined with slow and intermittent trim wheel action and the forward pressure which is coaxing you to do the instinctive action the shaker is telling you to do. You hit the trim switches and the trim stops and operates the way you want to, but then after a few seconds it starts slowly trimming down again. Either you were the first crew who didn’t know MCAS even existed... or you’re the second crew who did *exactly* what Boeing told them to do and disconnected the trim.... at which point the aerodynamic loads on the stabilizer combined with the smaller size of the MAX trim wheels meant they were unable to retrim the aircraft. At that point they decided to re-engage the trim and MCAS continued trimming the aircraft to its doom. A primary flight control should never have a single point of failure on a transport category aircraft. Boeing and the FAA knew they screwed up. It would have been nothing to have MCAS run from a second AoA probe with cross-talk and disabled with a miscompare or no compare. It also would have been nothing to not include it and break commonality. And just look at how long it’s taking. If it was a small problem it would have been easily fixed. But it’s not.. and it might be the end of the Max, the 737, and perhaps even Boeing itself. “Third world” countries are often the low-hanging fruit of root cause analysis but truth is state owned airlines like Ethiopian are among the safest in the world because money is no object. I think the reason why this never happened in North America or Europe is because the planes are on autopilot 99% of the time which disables MCAS.

Calvin Nickel In all actuality it is, when the trim moves in an uncommanded manner, the response from the flight crew is the same.

Yes, the MCAS system is a flawed design, but the airplanes still should not of crashed. In 23,000 hours of flight, I’ve had a few situations where the automation went a little sideways. You have to determine (quickly) what the heck is going on. You noted the Ethiopian crash in your post. They had the emergency communication from Boeing about MCAS and the actions to follow. The 300 hour F/O correctly identified the problem. They turned off the Stab Cutout switches correctly. Then turned them back on. They never pulled the power back from TOGA. They tried to engage the A/P repeatedly. These guys had not done their homework. The Lion sir incident is equally as bad. The previous flight flew the entire flight with the stick shaker going. A jumpseater told the captain that the trim wheel is moving unnecessarily. It’s the same size wheel as any other 737 by the way. This airplane should have been removed from service. These are not safe airlines.

727 was one of my all-time favorite airplanes. Kind of noisy especially toward the back but I always felt safe because I knew they were built like a brick shithouse. I can't help but shake my head about the 737 max fiasco, especially since I make my living making parts for Boeing airplanes including the 737 max. They had to try especially hard to screw up that program, it should have been a slam dunk success. Boeing showed an amazing ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

That's unfortunately what happened once the McDonnell Douglas management mentality got in control at Boeing. Nothing like moving the C level executives 2,500 miles away from the engineers and primary build facilities.

@@radon360 My little Bro has been with Boeing for 33 years, he is about to retire. After the merger he had some really negative things to say about the pack of wolves from McDonnell Douglas once they got in and took over. But talking to him more recently it seems like they bought him off. He was an engineer and I think he got promoted to management, he doesn't tell me exactly what he does but he talks about getting budgets and hiring people. I have been stunned by a couple things I have heard him say, not in a good way. He stayed in Seattle but it seems like he became one of them.

@@Stacie45 I retired from Boeing seven years ago also after 33 years, but by merger with Rockwell. I saw the whole McDonnell St. Louis takeover disaster from the inside and it was a shame. The next in line for CEO was the 777 chief engineer, so the board rejected him and brought an outsider from 3M who seemed not to know the difference between an airplane and stack of Post-it notes. The Board of Directors is a big part of the problem, only three with any aviation background.

@@jimandmandy Seems like the upper level managers mostly are marketing people but mainly they are political people. I have been with Rockwell Collins for several years and we are now part of Raytheon. It is really just about one big government-private quasi-monopoly now. When a disaster happens due to sheer incompetence and negligence the rulers circle the wagons and cover for each other, nobody is held accountable unless it is some lower level patsy who gets taken out back and shot for public consumption. Not that I'm cynical or anything...

727 is a great aircraft. I'm sure that if DC3 is coming back into service with some improvements, so it will the 27. Just think of a low cost refurbish, avionics, quieter saving fuel and more efficient engines with that interior space and excellent speed. Am I dreaming? Maybe not for some regions and applications. Anyway I like to imagine a new life for the venerable one.

A little to simple, you didn’t mention that it’s about 60% 707 so was cheaper to build and the cockpit is almost the same as the legacy 737 for easy pilot transition, engines up high to get the cabin closer to the ground for passenger loading before jet bridges came to small airports. I’m surprised they didn’t drop the 3rd engine to easily compete with the DC9 but with 6 across seating vs 5. That’s would be an interesting back story

The 727 basic strong point was that through it's flap and leading edge droops ,saying it's wing design allowed short runway performance and high speed cruise was a good design at that time but it's fuel burn in later years made the 737 a more popular choice as the increase in speed did not make it up for the higher fuel prices after 1973.
