![]() | 777 static test. You guys were so well entertained by the vibration modes of flat plates that I thought I would post this clip from "21st century jet." Boeing 777 Wing Test Video (by Jeremy Zawodny) |

| Fortissimo User | Re: 777 static test. That is amazing... even moreso that the prediction was so close to the actual. I wish I had a copy of the video that we made doing a "bird ingestion" test on a fan jet; we used guinea fowl fired from an air cannon into a running engine (JT 15D4..used on Citation II) and an ultra-high speed camera. Those titanium fan blades waved like ripe wheat in the wind. They sheared off the inlet temperature sensor but kept right on spinning! |

| Re: 777 static test. Well, here we are back at the "What if Superman played the trumpet?" thread. The bells wouldn't explode because there's nothing that would provide enough resistance to create the back pressure that would need to be relieved by an explosion, right? Or is Superman strong enough a trumpeter to supercede that back pressure? I would think the massive vibrations would cause the trumpet to disassemble before the explosion could happen. That's why I advocate the Kryptonite-laced alloy. The only problem with that is that Kryptonite is basically radioactive to Superman. Therefore, over time it would eventually probably cause cancer somewhere in Superman's body. I guess we'd just better get used to the idea that if Superman plays, it's just going to be really loud. Would he keep the uniform for concerts or do something in a black and white ensemble? ML |

| Re: 777 static test. This clip is from a classic video played in pilot ground schools to illustrate the power of Jet Blast. http://www.aviationexplorer.com/747_engine_blast.htm |
