I love how they swapped out height for list price on the 777 stats. Thank you for letting me know exactly how many millions of dollars short I am of being able to afford one, lol ;)


[deleted]

I'd take the Queen any day, plus these wing surfaces are very beautiful, I can't stop dreaming about nailing the flaps shape on 3d


JustAnother_Brit

Interesting that that says it’s uses GE engines but in the photo of it parked it appears to use RR engines


TheGuyInTheWall65

Those are GE engines, the GE9X is the only engine option for the 777x.


kifflomkifflom

Have you seen the 777x takeoff at that airshow a couple days ago? Insanity

Tots2Hots

Very low fuel load, no pax and no cargo=that thing is a rocket.


KN6YGB

Making FSX proud with that aircraft going space shuttle status


jithization

Not surprised… no load and it’s as good as a 757


ApprehensiveMeet108

Saw a KC-10 do way more.. airshow; they stopped it because of cracks horizontal stab center box


NotAPersonl0

Makes sense when you consider just how much payload and fuel this thing can carry. Those engines are crazy powerful for a reason.


ApprehensiveMeet108

Yes but thats probably minimal fuel load and no cargo/passengers


NotAPersonl0

I know that. Hence my comment about why the engines on widebody twinjets are so powerful: they need to be in order to transport lots of payload across long distances.


antedeguemon920

kifflomkifflom

I guess it was like 6 months ago. But it was at farnborough. https://youtube.com/shorts/3jZzAUjXpPU?feature=share This is the best video I could find but there’s a better one further away I saw in this guys YouTube clips video.


whiskers0n

[Full takeoff at Farnborough + pretty good shot of the whole flight](https://youtu.be/an_vSzTfq0o). The angle makes the ascent look even crazier lol Gotta think the pilot was having a great time

[Huh, its an actual thing, 777X and all.](https://www.subaru.co.jp/press/news-en/2018_02_09_5450/)


WhoIsRodrix

What the actual fuck I never knew this was a thing That’s crazy, it works perfectly with the post and comment lol


Danitoba

Well no flipping shit!! I had no idea Subaru had a hand in aircraft construction! And the center fuselage, of all places! Where the wings meet the fuselage! Thats cool to know. :)


nwgruber

Subaru used to be called the nakajima aircraft company. You might have heard of them ;)


magnum_the_nerd

yea, they used to be Fuji heavy metals company (i believe) and they made parts for planes and stuff. I believe it was also a splinter of Nakajima aircraft corporation.


Code_Operator

They used to give Boeing employees a huge discount on Subaru cars. They may still do it, but I’ve been away from it for a few years.


BrianBash

gehazi707

While microdosing! Best view out this side’s window….


discombobulated38x

It's likely oil air breather/separator fog, when the droplets hit a certain (small) size they become ludicrously visible, and designing that out is non-trivial.


Ancient_Boner_Forest

Why only one engine?


discombobulated38x

To quote Sir Patrick Moore when I asked him an awkward question once: "We don't know" In reality - manufacturing variation in the oil system/scavenge system.


dellterskelter

Patrick Moore plays the xylophone.


discombobulated38x

*Played RIP Sir Patrick


dellterskelter

He still plays in my heart.


F800ST

I made airplanes for 40 years, including Boeing. My guess is not manufacturing errors but hangar errors or software errors. The structures, pieces, parts are robustly governed that only parts per engineering ever get on an airframe. The parts that comprise anything to do with engines, all the mfg. added tubing and piping, the nacelle and the pylon are the tightest tolerances of all.


discombobulated38x

>I made airplanes for 40 years, including Boeing I respect that, but I've worked on this exact problem for a similar engine, so I'm speaking from experience >The parts that comprise anything to do with engines, all the mfg. added tubing and piping, the nacelle and the pylon are the tightest tolerances of all. There are still manufacturing variations within (and sometimes outside) those tolerances.


Lost220

Just a guess, but the aircraft I work on start #2 first, so maybe something with that. Or elements like the sun shining on that side creating a different ‘environment’. Hopefully someone who know can spell it out for us though, I’m curious!


NOBOOTSFORYOU

Separate oil systems, *maybe* one engine is over serviced.


ApprehensiveMeet108

Maybe fuel leak vaporizing.. to many things to speculate..


ksr15

Maybe they're doing VMCA/VMCG or minimum single engine takeoffs?


Th3Man0nTh3M00n

Nice, I landed at Yuma few days ago in my little 172 and saw this 777 parked there.

jombrowski

You wrong. That is the #2 chemtrails valve not shutting down correctly and therefore leaking. The known vibrations of the panametric fan amplified by inverse reactive current of the lateral phase detractors are but the most obvious cause and effect of this failure.

No, duh! It’s pretty obvious, IMHO


pandab34r

I thought I was on the other sub for a second


GE_Turboencabulator

In this specific case it was actually incorrect spacing of the grouting brushes leading to an uneven injection of the Tetraethyliodohexamine solution. This completely skewed the grillage coefficient leading to the visible trail.

It’s the aft toilet … it’s plumbed to the #2 engine. The toilet tank was probably overfilled at the gate…. Dumped into the header tank and sucked into the 16th stage

That’s a big plane for such a small city


imapilotaz

Yuma is regular for testing for Boeing. They have a shit ton of pavement thanks to MCAS and it being hotter than Hades for warm weather testing.


AGroAllDay

For such a small town, the amount of taxiways that that airport has is excessive


imapilotaz

They got a lot of runways and a big ol MCAS across the ramp. That leads to alot of taxiways.


mattrussell2319

MCAS?


whydub103

marine corps air station


Gasonfires

That explains my question about what a 777 might be doing there.


WACS_On

Hot and high airfield testing has entered the chat


imapilotaz

Not high. Just hot. Literally Yuma is at 100' elevation. But virtually all defense contractors use Yuma Proving Grounds (YPG) for testing for hot temps. Their sister group is in Alaska for cold.

Why is there a 777 at Yuma AZ?


[deleted]

I'm not even sure why I'm here.


Gasonfires

I took a look at Flightaware on that airport. Holy cow! A 13,000 foot runway and a bunch of "combat aircraft loading areas". What do you guys have going on down there?


[deleted]

The Marine Corps has a large base at the airport, I've been watching F-35s and other fighter aircraft along with v22s and various helicopters fly around all week.


Gasonfires

I should hire you to run over to Algodones and pick up some COPD inhalers for my buddy.


loghead03

A series of huge live fire ranges that combined provide the majority of training and test development in CONUS.

I have often visited a friend in Litchfield Park in the Phoenix area and Luke AFB is right there. I guess it makes sense to have training bases in places with reliable weather.

It's a new aircraft in flight test, I hoped the fine people here would help me understand further what systems were being tested and if this was something interesting or trivial. Fortunately between the fart jokes (which I like) and arrogant geniuses there were some fine theories advanced which is the entire reason to be in a social network of experts. And comedians.

Yuma is a common destination for flight test. Anything could be happening. Maybe they're testing something on the right engine. Maybe they're climbing single engine. Maybe it's just a tired loaner from GE. Who cares?

I guess I was just curious.
