Welcome back to the Fluctus channel for an interesting insight into the features and maintenance of enormous engines that power different United States Armed Forces (USAF) fleets, especially some of those aircraft in the C-family.

don't bother with idiots who keep calling everything 'crazy', 'amazing', 'jaw dropping' or 'insane'
Right On Go Army!
Contractors? When I was working them we didn’t have any contractors changing anything. Air Force Maintenance Mechanics/Technicians did all the work!
Transport a submarine?
The whole thing came out of the ground, literally, all of it.
wow, imagine that…a cargo plane that can carry stuff, including ( air certified cargo ).. fkn amazing
👍
I helped perform many engine changes as a crew chief at Altus AFB in the 90's. We had no contractors.
Did I miss something? At 3 minutes 3 seconds the statement is that maximum range is 2000 miles. I believe this aircraft can fly much further nonstop than 2000 miles.. Asia is more than 2000 miles from the US West Coast.
Heard the c5 doesn't have enough power.
Hello.., my freind.
Im not proud because its a human killing weapon, im proud to help for humanity.
Ya que él tituló del video es en español, tendrán un canal en español , me encantan los videos solo que no entiendo 😢 , gracias.☺️👍🏾
NICE VEDIO
I think you mean Auxiliary Power Unit, not aircraft power unit. Great video by the way.
Y cual es el loco proceso????????????????
I was on a MAC flight 3 hours out of Ramstein over the Atlantic heading to Dover, DE when one of the engines failed on our C5. The plane jerked violently to the right when it happened. The pilots quickly corrected, and we diverted to an RAF base in England. Spent the night just outside the base and by the next afternoon, the engine had been repaired and we were back on our way to Dover.
Awesome!
sky giant
Why are the "facts" in this content seemingly obvious obvious observations based on stock footage. There's no information here basically. Very strange.
If you’re going to give engine dimensions in meters (as I would regard correct).
Maybe give the weight in kilos not pounds 😉
Interesting video, though I will say with all your videos they could be a bit more dialogue rich.
Just constructive feedback I hope
Now AN-124 burned up the rest of the world I screwed.
I must have missed the crazy process for repairing these engines. A whole 3min of shite on the engines throughout.
This is a perfect idea👍👍
I loved the sound of the C5's TF-39 Engines on full throttle TO, That pulsating growl. . . . . . .Power!! Thank goodness for YT
Now can someone please explain to me why we pay a outside contractor to remove, work on and install the engines on our aircraft when we’ve got smart intelligent and capable men and women in our military that can do it? That use to do in the past and not some contractor. What happened to our military? It used to be a pretty much a self supported military logistics wise.
Nice
You adjust speed in flight using ATTITUDE not altitude if thrust reversers are deployed (FYI)
Geeeeeez, look at the size of those engines
Contractors? I think Jet troops remove and replace the engines. Source: 13 years of service in aircraft maintenance.
Also, it’s not called winches. They are come alongs. I’m confused why c5s don’t have lift trailers though. Also on 17s the average engine change isn’t 48 hours. So much more information wrong with this video. But makes sense because you never know who’s watching these videos
I'm afraid of flying and would only step foot on a military aircraft because I know America's armed forces takes exceptional care of their equipment. But I'd still want a parashoot if I ever went up in the air just in case.
Vou comprar um avião deste um grande abraço Jaú SP Brasil 🌹🙏
Sad the C5 sounds like a regular commercial jetliner after new engine replacement
Loved the sound of those TF-39 engines
C5 is a BEAST!
7:40…. " Oh, she'll go all the way to the deck if we don't stop her."
Reverse backwards 😂
Great job archetype heavy lift capability, exactly what God intended when HE sent you angels here to help us all grow to that which God always intended us to be.
Miss the military, nothing like it!
Wow. Amazing Work. Respect For these hard working Men 👍
The individual that wrote the script for this video needs to find another career. More incorrect information than correct. Sounded like you were reading bullet points from a flyer , You ruin a great video by trying to impress yourself with terms I know you don't even know what they mean. Ant military aircraft maintenance technician is covering his face and shaking his head.
