Cool video!

Huh. I always thought they had GE engines.

Crazy with no trailer parks in sight

This is probably a dumb question, but are the landing gear brakes the only thing keeping it still?
In other words, if you create that much suction, surely there is thrust exiting the engine too. Why isn't it moving?

Stepping on that gas pedal must be fun as hell.

Gear brakes.
As powerful as that thrust is, it ain’t shite compared to dissipating the energy of an airbourne airliner over a half mile or so.
Unless I’m mistaken, as final prep for take off, it’s common to ramp up the engines before disengaging the brakes to minimize take off distance. So they gotta hold.

This is addressed in the comments

You simply have to set the parking brake.
The brakes on the 787 are not hydraulic like nearly every other aircraft in operation today.
The actuators on the 787 brake packs are electric motor driven ballscrew actuators, there are 4 on each brake pack, controlled by an electronic control unit.
Normally the parking brake force is around 30% of maximum braking force, but if the engines are on, and the thrust levers are moved forward, the braking force is automatically selected to 100% by the control unit.

Same here. The 757 had RR engines, love that plane

Not sure if serious.

That video is 4 years old.

It’s about an hour old for me

They always had a 747 with a RR paint job parked at Tucson International that I thought was the coolest plane

GE or RR can be used. The purchasing airline decides.

Strong enough to blow Jeff Van Gundy's Honda Civic away!
quote:.
Whereas parking lots close to the runway are not typically a problem for sports teams since most team members drive substantial vehicles like SUV’s (2.7 tons), Van Gundy was always known for his frugality, especially when it came to automobiles. As the team’s charter flight landed and taxied on the runway, a blast from the engine propulsion literally lifted his little 1995 Honda Civic (around 2,300 pounds) off the ground and sent it flying into the air, totally destroying it and three other cars, including Allan Houston’s 1997 Mercedes.
From The New York Times:
“It was compacted,” Van Gundy said yesterday afternoon. “The windshield was totally blown out along with the rest of the windows. It’s just a car.”? ... Van Gundy telephoned his wife, Kim, at about 3:30 a.m. She answered groggy, unsure of what she was hearing. He gave her the details quickly and told her he would sleep in his office and see her in the morning.
Here is the coach of the New York Knicks — one of the most prominent teams in basketball — driving a ‘95 Civic! It was such a cheap car, it was actually thrown into the air.
What a rough night, too. From instructing professional athletes in a nationally-televised game in beautiful Miami to being without a car and sleeping in your office.
He has since moved up to a Toyota Camry. Never change, Jeff. Happy Birthday
