Don't Walk Under the Plane Wings, Here's Why
Don't Walk Under the Plane Wings, Here's Why
There’s so much going on in airports and on board the planes that you don’t need to bother learning it all. But there are things you do want to know — yet no one will tell you about them.
Do you know, for example, why if you get off the bus and step away too much, the ground crew might ask you not to walk under the airplane wings? Or what a ‘decision altitude’ is? Or what is a reason you won’t ever see an elderly person or a child in the emergency exit row? Wanna know those and other secrets? Here they are!

SUMMARY:
– The wings of a passenger plane are quite close to the ground, and you can hit your head on them if you’re inattentive; and second, again, if an engine starts and you’re close by, you just might be wooshed into the turbine.
– There’s an incredibly complex illumination system on the ground that helps the crew navigate the airplane, and it’s not just the red and white lights along the runway.
– A ‘decision altitude’ is a point of no return when the crew has to make a choice: either to land the aircraft or to go up and make another circle around the airport. Any lower, and there would be no going back.
– If an emergency does occur, the passenger sitting closest to the exit might have to open the door for the rest of the people on board.
– If you lean back, you might block the passenger right behind you, and in case of emergency they’ll have a much harder time evacuating.
– Regulations require that water be taken from secure sources, but not all airlines follow this rule and simply boil tap water.
– Airplanes go through a very thorough check before every flight, and there are literally no secret hiding places anyone could use.
– First thing that gets started on an airplane is not the engines — it’s the APU, or the auxiliary power unit. It’s a small additional engine located in the tail of the airplane that kickstarts the electrical systems and bleeds air for the engines and air conditioning inside the cabin.
– You’ve surely noticed how much louder the airplane becomes when it’s landing. You might think it’s the engines, but in reality that’s the reverse thrusters being deployed.
– On average, flights are becoming slower and slower with each decade. Today, for example, a flight from New York to Chicago would take about 20 minutes longer than it did in the mid-90s.

6:59 No, the reverse thrusters do not get deployed in mid air or the plane will stall out.
Ice cream and popcorn 🍿🍿🍿
Bother… less than 5% of video content is for the video title. -.-
Toys. 2nd floor
how can i hit the like button if I’m in a plane’s engine?
You, will learn

1:35 When the plane is cruising, passengers can walk around and not die, right? The only danger during cruise is turbulence, but all of the things can go wrong during takeoff. It doesn’t take a pilot to figure that out.
Do you think that the airplanes will still fly even though there is flying cars?
6:34 I used to think that it was an additional engine in case all the engines failed
LOL this is funny
moral of the video : engines eat people
0:21 that’s called a jetway, it’s what connects the terminal to the plane.
Phone. 1st floor
6:20 The kid that climbed in the landing gear of a Hawaiian Air flight to see his mom would like a word about that one
Did you say thrusther i know that!
One time
Oh thats why I had tea🤣
Next video: Don’t stand backwards when someone is about to open a door, here’s why.
they have to be strapped while taxing because the plane might take sharp turn due to which flight attendents may get hurt
I live in Chicago IL
I’m 10 I was in the emergency exit row.
Funfact we forget this when we are on the plane and how to get wifi in plane
I AM SCARED AT FLYING PLANE + I DO NOT LIKE TO BE APILOT😂

5:58 no sifting perfect from cgp greys vid is much faster

Also known as _go around_
There is another method that pilots use to find the runway. It can be used with or without lights or when weather is bad. It involves a complicated series of radio beacons, communicating with the aircraft that indicates the planes position relative to a recommended glide path assisting in landing both with directional input as well as altitude and ground proximity inputs. This is often called riding the wire, and can be done safely in zero visibility.
On the Captions on 1:04
Click Bait
Take-off and landing
15 wrong u must not apply reverse trust until u land if you apply it while airborne you will crash or a hard landing bruhhhh
pause 5:22
Actually one should not walk in front of or behind any vehicle as they may move anytime. This obviously includes planes which are the biggest.
This channel gives a lot of uneccessary stories come straight to the point
Why is 6:02 so funny?? 😂🤣😂
Elderly people are absolutely allowed to sit in the exit row. Overly obese people may not be able to sit there, due to mobility issues. Anyone below the age of 15, in a cast, using a cane or crutch, or any mobility impaired person cannot sit there. Of any age. You have to be able to hear and obey commands and lift 50 or 75 pounds, which is the weight of the door.
when i was sitting in the exit a flight attendant toldd me and my dad not to sit there (i wish she took us to first class)
Hmm how many wrong facts are gonna be in here??
Do you understand what g-force is? That’s why the flight attendants have to be seated during takeoff.
1:02 pilots wont start the engine until the pushback starts and specially while boarding ….
Guys, how often do you travel by plane?
7:11 STRIKE!
Walking under the wing of the aircraft is danger when the wing engine is running. The ground crew will not allow the pax to board unless the engine is shutdown.
sorry to correct you, but yes, you can get hit by the rotors of a helicopter. I had a flight surgeon actually lose his head from the rotorblades.
so YES, IF YOU ARE GETTING OFF OF OR LOADING INTO A HELO, PLEASE DUCK DOWN. The base of the rotors are high enough, but the blades do dip down as they come around. Yes, I am a pilot, thank you.
Can you make another video about black holes
Yes walking into a prop or static wick can seriously ruin your day . Or in my case a cargo door not very nice .
7:55 that was elon musks tesla flying into space
Rarely
1:38 pilot use ILS(instrument landing system)
