@inventionontt: Original Video Credit: IG/jaydon.allen04 Inside a US Air Force engine testing facility, several airmen pose beside a General Electric F110-129 jet engine as a brilliant plume of flame extends from its exhaust. The engine is mounted on a stationary test stand inside a specialized enclosure known as a hush house, where powerful jet engines can be operated and evaluated without being installed in an aircraft. The dramatic exhaust comes from the engine's afterburner, which injects additional fuel into the hot gases leaving the turbine. Because these gases still contain oxygen, the extra fuel can burn downstream of the turbine, significantly increasing exhaust temperature and velocity. The result is a substantial increase in thrust, accompanied by intense noise, heat, and dramatically higher fuel consumption. The F110-129 is an afterburning turbofan capable of producing approximately 29,000 pounds of thrust in its maximum afterburning configuration. Hush houses are engineered to accommodate the extreme conditions generated during ground testing. Their specialized airflow systems, exhaust structures, and sound-reducing features allow maintenance crews to evaluate engine performance under controlled conditions. Afterburners are particularly valuable in military aviation, providing short bursts of additional thrust for rapid acceleration, takeoff, and high-performance maneuvers, although their fuel demands make continuous operation impractical. #shorts #Science #education #learn #invention

Robert Jackson :

nope. tinnitus is not service related

The reason spiritual warfare exists in the black community

The zeppelin :

Just imagining how strong the thing holding it has to be…

stevedgr8j4 :

That’s really safe, I guess they lowered their standards since I was in the USAF 😬

asdfghjklzza :

That’s one way to die

Matt :

Meanwhile Veterans get denied for bilateral hearing loss and tinnitus..😳😳😳😳😳. Aviation Machinist's Mate lifestyle 👌. Keep up the amazing work!

DeanT :

This normal on the trim pad doing a burn and run.

Warren :

Oh but I gotta have a guard on my grinder or face an OSHA fine… make it make sense

rsuttonjr :

at a certain point, you just dont give af anymore

CGVeteran :

Loved running engines back in the day

Richard Harden :

good ol hush house

tj :

I was able to witness this during an F16 engine test. Crazy

Neo Tom Anderson :

And tinnitus is only 10%

MisterManJoe2 :

Horrible place to place them if a turbine blade separates

gungrinner320 :

Suprises me test cell allowed them to be in the vicinity.

Brian :

So i used to work on those engine test systems… def never once wanted to stand that close during a test…

L0z :

Looks safe

chiguy :

This is cool. But can these guys repel down from a stadiums catwalk?

Ryan :

If that spits a blade [Innocent]

memiiiiiiiiiin :

I was a Jet engine mechanic in the USAF working on F-4 in the 90s and I experience this almost every week👍👍👍

Brent R :

Takes the breath out of your lungs

stefancochran1 :

touch the VEN.

user9129027020107 :

There’s a book (manual)that says that’s not OK.

ferdi :

SuperSonics they say
