I’m willing to bet there are a lot of things they are not showing in this video. The pilots probably have the rudder trim full right to counteract the off axis thrust of the remaining outboard engine.
lol…
LOL
lol who does this guy think he is? rambo?
yea man.
yea, also putting into fact that the torque force of the one engine wud make the aircraft veer to one side losing speed and altitute
What a load.. Even with near zero fuel a 747 with full passenger and cargo load CAN NOT maintain level flight on a single engine.
They didn’t show the part where he deploys the drag chute and raises the spoilers while running all four engines in reverse pitch.
LOL!
only a 105 years of flight. We’ve come a long way. make the most of it before oil runs out
power for life!
amazing video..
lolol, feather three your definitely losing altitude, but the camera can make it look like its holding.
it would still fly fine even with four feathered, it would just have to glide to somewhere flat to land
feather four! = change my undies
oh yes i think i heard of the air bocoming like a pillow on which the plane is travelling over or something! thats great! so i was freakin out on all my flights for nothing LOL, thanks!
Just think of the air becoming “thick” like jello when taking off at high speed. The plane is designed to decend naturally and can glide approximately 100 miles in the extremely unlikely event of all engines failing.
FEATHER FOUR!!!!
oh cool! i think i’ll give that a shot ! thanks again! ali
Glad to hear it.
Flying is still the safest way to travel, and the level of pilot training and aircraft maintenance received in North America and Europe is second to none. Google “Ask the Pilot” for flying information from a veteran airline pilot with great answers to many common questions.
Cheers,

wow that made me feel loads better
thank god i just had this huge fear of plummeting at any minute at 30,000 ft im hysterical when ever i have to fly lol sounds stupid but i just dont understand enough about planes to trust them. but thanks a mill for that helpfull and extremely reassuring info !!
Even if an aircraft lost all engines, the passengers would feel no sensation of falling any more than in a normal, powered descent as the plane would become at that point a glider.
EVERY pilot receives training on how to land an airplane without engine power; I’ve done so myself on several occasions– just for training fortunately. From small Cessnas to large Boeings, the basic aerodynamic principles are the same.
so the plane doesnt just drop from the sky when engine failure occurs..ok i feel a little better but its still odd.. wud it not crash in the end when they try to land? i wonder when a 747 is gliding on its on, do the passengers feel like hey are falling.. (yes iv a ginormous fear of flying how did u tell lol)
well they still need them to gain momentum
Wow, and this was filmed back in 1953! That makes me feel way better about today’s planes.
