The Insane Amount of Power US Largest Aircraft Needs to Takeoff

Welcome back to the our channel for a discussion about the C-5 Galaxy, the largest and most powerful cargo plane in the U.S. fleet. I've always been amazed by the fact that those engines can move that beast fast enough for it to take off and fly. its insane how the engines look so small on that huge aircraft. Hats off to all who made this possible. It’s really amazing how they were able to come up with create an engineer, the parts to build such a creation as this jet, watching them service the engines on this plane looking at all the wires the connections these things have to be thought about invented. It’s just an amazing process That they have come up with just to be able to fly even a much smaller plane. It’s truly amazing. Passenger 747-400 and 747-8 aircraft both have heavier take off weights than the Galaxy. The passenger version of the 747-400 with Royce RB-211 turbofans produces 240,000 lbs, 40,000 lbs more thrust than the C-5. And let's not talk about Russian transports like the recently lost Antonov Mriya which leaves both the 747 and C-5 for dead-as is often the case with Eastern European aircraft. Just think when this plane is fully loaded between the weight of its cargo, and the weight of the plane itself the landing gear, I cannot even find the words to even describe the landing gear that has to be able to sustain such ana massive amount of weight I take my hat off to all the engineers that make this possible.
