GE90 jet engine startup to disconnect a faulty IDG (Integrated Drive Generator). I stood safely on the crew stairs ;-)

    I'm so impressed that the fan blade tips don't touch the cowling, considering it's only 1 or 2 mm space between them.

    I love how you can feel the ground vibrate sometimes when the GE-90 starts up. Best sound out of all the heavies I see at work. The 787 and A350 engines are nice too but the deep vibrations of a GE-90 cannot be beat.

    @ 1:10, the extra bass sound is fuel light-up, and around 1:32 when it goes slightly quieter is the air starter dis-engaging. (Ex RB211 Engineer)

    1:10 The deep startup sound during every 777 pushback/safety briefing

    Ain't nothin' like hearing the sound of a 777 engine blasting first thing in the mornin'!
  • @CJ22930
    Omg, this has to be the best sound picked up video of a GE-90 on youtube! 🤤

    Hats off to the aircraft maintainers who keep these machines airworthy and safe.

    The only thing i'm hearing is a ps4 startup
  • @Kevedsa4esan
    Its amazing how fast the engine is spinning even though its only on idle

    me: tries to run microsoft flight simulator and google at the same time my pc fans:
  • The first time I went on the 777 I was shocked by the size of the GE90. didn't know it was the biggest jet engine ever but it was really cool to see.
  • @markevans2280
    They should link this sound up to electric cars, everyone would buy one then lol
  • @FirstLastOne
    Can you imagine a 777 with GE90-115 in August 1949 next to a Comet? The engine was wider than the fuselage of the Comet and had 475% more power than the Comet's four engines combined and VERY quiet by comparison.

    I remember waiting for flights inside New York JFK and Rome Fiumicino. Those GE90 starts are so beastly loud that they are one of the only things you can hear loud and clear inside the terminal. Might be the greatest jet engine type ever created.

    0:48 put earrape over that and your ears would be dead in a nanosecond

    Focus very closely on the center of the engine. Now I'm going to snap my fingers, and when I do, you're going to fall asleep.
  • That whole engine and cowling is almost the same size as a NYC Flat. A man thats 5ft 8" can stand in the intake. Gigantic
