The cloud thing at the end is incredible!
Wow, visible lifting-force physics! Jump right to it at t-4m43s The āNewtonian downwashā shed vortices produced by Bernoulli equation is directly visible.
Also the video shows the actual purpose of wintip winglets: they force the tip-vortices to attach to the very end of the wing. Without them, often the vortices will break loose and migrate many yards inwards, and the far part of the wing then starts contributing negative lift. (See military videos of smoke patterns in āflare angelsā from C-130 missle defense flares. Often you can see that the tip-vortices arenāt connecting anywhere near the wing tips.)
No angle left un-shot. Amazing work! Hard to believe itās not a commercial.
Cool video, but I wonder how a āfanā has access to filming from these places.
Tahiti. Itās a magical place.
This is truly an astonishing videoā¦. I sent this to a pilot friend of mine that works 747ās out of IAH and he loved itā¦ Itās truly amazing what goes on behind the scenes that the āpassengerā never sees or thinks aboutā¦
Fantastic vid. Too bad that A340 is the least enjoyable 9 hours you will spend in the air. Painfully uncomfortable seats and dreadful food. Fly Hawaiian, their A330 is far superior to TNās offering.
Iām very curious about the technical aspects of this.
Was the go pro activated remotely when it was located externally? The battery/SD card will never last the entire journey unless the landing scenes were from very short hops.
Well, I flew the plane featured in the video (Air Tahiti Nuiās āMangarevaā A340) back in 2004 on LAX-CDG and itās been one of the most enjoyable flights Iāve ever made. Good plane, good IFE (for the time), good food and the nicest personnel Iāve ever met on an airplane.
