Boeing 747 & 777 autoland in crosswind certification video - impressive!
Anyone here ever landed in such a strong crosswind?
Found this posted to another group. This is a great video of 747 and 777 doing auto land certification crosswind landings, the 3rd and 4th shot are the best. It takes a minute to download and get through the credits but its worth it. It is hard to believe that these "digital" touchdowns don't shear off the main landing gear. Watch the 777's wings flex during the third clip. http://www.linhadafrente.net/bin/Pousos.wmv |

Said he had so much aileron in the thing that the windside wing was only a few feet off the runway. ----------------------------------------------- DW |

At this and other sites, Quicktime either doesn't work at all, or plays with weird audio that makes it worthless. Downloading the newest version and reinstalling doesn't help. |

No idea what it is, but I haven't found a solution yet. The files actually download to my hard drive, but then whey they attempt to run I get either the "broken" move strip icon or QT simply causes a fault and crashes. Matt |

Playing QuickTime movies online from Jay's site has never worked, must be a broken installation at his server. Stefan |

Not me. Quicktime crashes every time I try to view one of Jay's
quicktime clips. The other media formats, however, work fine. Getting "single-click playback" on a computer is not as easy as it seems. Both Quicktime and RealPlayer have "issues"... In fact, this is such a common problem, that I've created this page: http://alexisparkinn.com/video_tech_support.htm Try following the instructions there -- let me know if you still can't get 'em to go. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |
