Did this exact thing when I was studying aerospace engineering at Leeds around 10 years ago.
Interesting to see it’s exactly the same now as it was then, right down to the print outs!
That's sick and I would have killed for it as a kid
"I like roller coasters these days" is a true sign of character development
16:20 and this is why flying into clouds VFR kills people.
Reminder, a stall can happen at any speed – it's the AoA (angle of attack) that matters. Should also try a stall with flaps those are stomach churning.
Can someone explain why, at 10:18, it looks like propellers are flying away from the propellers?
Shame the guide wasn't Dodge Bailey, that man is a legend.
I am 100% positive (though I could be wrong) that you once did know about fugoid maneuvers! It's just that you've learned (and taught us so much) that it has been misplaced in your brain. For now.
4:05 🤨🤨🤨🤨
My PC whenever I play flight sims.
"STAL, STAL, STAL, STAL, STAL"
Surprised at Tom's reaction to the drop… He rode the vomit comet a few years back.
Im studying aerospace engineering at Southampton university, our cohort all got to experience the same thing this summer. Absolutely incredible, mad respect to the team at Cranfield for making this possible
Yes, but… stall means flow separation, not only turbulence. Flow over a wing in flight is always turbulent (theoretical exceptions exists).
I wasn t planning to watch this long… no regrets.
Interesting as usual😊
I did this flight test course in 1979 as I studied Aeronautical Engineering at Southampton University!
Another great one!
If members of the public could elect to do this on purpose it would probably work wonders with people with a fear of flying or just general aviation education.
I have a Bachelors Degree in Aeronautical Engineering Technology from Purdue University in the U.S., as well as my Airframe and Powerplant certification, and I currently work in Maintenance Engineering for a regional airline. While I had the opportunity back in college to fly a few times in small aircraft, like Cessna and Cirrus, and experience a few of these same maneuvers, it wasn't part of the actual curriculum. So not every student got to have the same physical, butt in pilot seat experiences as I did. And Rob was exactly right, a powerpoint in a classroom can only go so far. Experiencing these maneuvers in flight makes such a difference in your understanding. It would have been amazing to have something like this back in college that every student in the aviation school would be able to experience, not just the student pilots and a few lucky souls like me.
Great video. As a fan of theme parks it's really interesting comparing the way you experience G forces during aerial manoeuvres like these and how you experience them on coasters/flat rides.
When I was learning to fly stalls, my instructor had me let go of the controls completely after the stall broke. The plane (a Piper Tomahawk) went nose down and then, after a short while, leveled out all on its own. He said to me "You see, the plane WANTS to fly. However you'll notice we have lost a thousand feet, so you don't want to do this at nine hundred".
In today's episode Tom weighs 400 lbs for a brief time and doesn't want to wear a seatbelt correctly.
A strange blue 🐦 brought me here. 7:42 earned a subscription.
If the plane is designed with positive stability the up and down oscillation will eventually dampen itself and end up in level flight.
During the week of 9-11 is crazy XD
If planes weren't so stable, we probably wouldn't enjoy flying very much
12:35 that's helicopters 😂
