Every turbo fan/jet engin does this if the air is humid enough…
I was on active duty Army back in early 90s at Fort Lewis, WA. We were doing a PT run around the airfield and saw this new plane doing "touch and go" runs. I was use to seeing C-5, C-141, KC-135, and C-130s and had no clue what cargo plane that was until many years later.
Sorry but you totally skipped over the C-5
Please am new to this crypt0 trading what is the best way to start trading as I have be doing my personal research and I still don't knw how to trade crypt0 withmy binance account.
but i see most on a rainy day taking in water at a stop b4 take off
Letโs build new B 52 s ,not just new engine s
The USAF not the usmc is the most technology: advanced feared military unit in the world
Es bello deverian contruir uno cinco beses mรกs grande o diez beses mรกs grande
Todo es posible ๐ค
curious why it pulls from the ground. what sneaky force is at work here lol
All jet engine's are capable of water tornadoes from the tarmac.
It can use thrust reverse in flight. Is that true. It sounds crazy.
The C-17 was not the successor to the C-124; there were several aircraft in between: the C-141, C-130, C-5, & C-133. The C-17 compliments the C-5 & C-130 aircraft, providing airlift capability greater than the C-130, but less than the C-5.

As much as I love seeing the Blue Angels or Thunderbirds at an air show, I always get a kick out the C17 displays. Between the ridiculously short takeoffs and landings, the plane dipping itโs nose to bow at the audience after landing, and the engine tornados, they easily win the hearts of the audience.
Nice๐
It was a cool evening at Douglas's west ramp,
the area where airplanes were checked out
while test flying. An MD-11 was idling, and I
saw a mini tornado coming out the front of
the #2 (center) engine. It was quite interesting.

please play the music softer.
Watching and listening to the maintenance part of this video is like watching behind the scenes of a movie, but better.
C130 hercules up level
Good
And that mini-tornado can suck pebbles from the tarmac right into the engine. That's a problem, in war conditions.
It's been somewhere around 120 yrs. since the Wright bros. took flight.
Where will aviation be 120 yrs. from now?
And know china airplane engine can build typhoon
Had to give up on this video at 1:23 . Couldn't stand more of the background music. Thumbs down.
Points of personal interest.
What happens at the air-intake when the blades of the C130 pitch to thrust-reversal.?
= Use the directional-exhaust-vectoring of the sea-harrier for the air-intake of C130, conceptually.?
C17 sucks good during thrust-reversal. The ground-clearance of engines of passenger planes is … lower … similar vortex observable from videos and they name those things "leap"… Acceleration down the runway for take-off without foreign-objects leaping should be … thrust-reversal during landing should be… max-throttle near ground during landing is vaccum(air-cushion ground-effect defeat with suction of ground)…
I have been a jet engine tech for over 45+ years and all jet engines will cause this phenomenon under certain conditions if their intakes are close enough to the ground. Evan Navy aircraft on the catapult will produce this effect when they inhale the catapult's steam venting out. The C-17 is a tough little plane, a modern C-47 for sure ! They should be around awhile.
Virtually overlooked on the C17, is the "blown flaps" feature. The flaps have portions of a flap directly behind the engine. It's too hot for aluminum, so those portions are made of titanium. Most aircraft do not have flaps directly behind the engines. This adds immensely to the lift produced at very low air speeds. This allows very high angle of descent, while maintaining a low rate of descent. This combination allows a very short roll out on landing, & very short roll out on take off. Very few aircraft have put together this capability. The idea of blown flaps has been around a long time, but this aircraft came along just when materials technology made it practical.
The prototype demonstrator had "double blown flaps". Not just one series of flaps, but when deployed, two sets of flaps, like louvres in a window shade. I asked if the change from double blown to single blown would lengthen landing & takeoff distance. The answer was "yes, but it would still meet specs". Double blown is heavier, more expensive, more complex, & requires more maintenance. I think they made the right choice.
Itโs normal in high humidity
A C 17 making a mini tornado is not alone in its ability to make them: lots of US Naval aircraft make them every damn day!
๐๐๐
The C-130 was even more impressive when it had JATO capability.
Fantastic
..em..
More accurately one should refer to the "Vietnam War" as the Vietnam Civil War or stop calling the American Civil War a civil war. Double standards.
Too bad Johnson was not assassinated instead of Kennedy. But Johnson had a big hand in killing Kennedy.
Yep and C141
Is there a jet engine compressor that does NOT compress air?
That would be the greatest advancement in stealth technology!
No contrails!
The c-141 starlifter was the workhorse that carried us to war in Vietnam. I know you want to tie the III to the II, but the c-130 was more prevalent during this era also.
The music is so awful itโs hard to watch with the sound on, turn down or off ๐
