It’s a 10 or 15 minute process to check the aircraft and while we’re doing that the production team fits the cameras on the aircraft – it takes 45 to 60 seconds.” “You can’t just turn up at an airport and expect to fly away. “One thing I often hear people question is how we have the time to fit the airplanes with GoPro cameras,” adds Cage. We just cannot show you everything live – it’s not legal, for a start – so certain things have had to be shot again.” We film things how they happen, but obviously people don’t want their faces shown. “First of all, look me up and you will see that I do this for a living,” he says bluntly. If so, what’s your verdict? Real, fake or just plain entertaining?!!! Reader Interactionsįor those of you who think Airplane repo is fake, read this:Ĭage wastes no time dispelling the conspiracy theories which he claims are nothing more than myths. Taking all of the above comments into consideration, we would like to ask you our readers whether or not you have seen an episode of Airplane Repo. There’s was a cut scene from inside the cockpit just as V1 is called, the attitude indicator is in a 60 degree bank and around a 15 degree nose down pitch. Just saw an episode where they “repod” a Beech Jet 400. Someone then posted a question to ask what happened to a reality show where they had a variety of people competing in flight training for some sort of prize, but then someone answered that the show only lasted about two episodes – no doubt because it could not compete with the Jersey Shore. Next new show, jersey shore cast gets the ppl and does the repos themselves ! The rest is drama for ratings, which I understand, the public wants drama. Totally staged and a joke, I would guess about 14 percent of what you see is really true. UAL T38 Phlyer concluded it was “staged, mindless spectacle for the uninformed” while rightside02 added: Now, unless this was done with the full blessing of the FAA (under the auspices of an ‘air show’), only a dunce would allow video of such an event to actually be broadcast. The guy who took the plane buzzed him repeatedly to drive him off. ![]() A ranch-hand gave chase to one of the guys on the ground. ![]() They took a Cessna from a ranch in Texas. I saw it the other night (surfing through it). On a Canadair, I assume they used more than duct-tape. That was the subject of a recent thread on the Airline Pilot Forum with a moderator under the pseudonym UAL T38 Phlyer pointing out:Īnd somehow, they always have time to mount belly-cameras-more than one-on these airplanes they are in a ‘hurry’ to takeoff with. However, just how real is the Discovery Channel’s Airplane Repo show? ![]() In submerged state, the propeller proficiency is negligible at pre-planing mode.We have written a couple of times about the airplane repo business (see Risky business: Being an airplane repo man and Meet an airplane repo man) plus the Discovery Channel has even created a reality TV series called Airplane Repo where repo men chase multi-million dollar jets across America. The propeller torque is reduced 10 to 16% at 2500 rpm in post-planning stage. The results depict that the maximum torque is observed in submerged state at the last step of pre-planing mode while the engine speed is 2300 rpm. The propeller proficiency has been studied in two vessel motion stages which are pre-planing and post-planing. The numerical results have been validated by experimental observations. The numerical study through CFD has been done to analyze the propeller behavior under different conditions, submerged and semi-submerged states. ![]() The propeller behavior has been investigated under four sea trials while the propeller torque has been sampled at different engine states and vessel speed. In current study, a 5-blade propeller proficiency has been studied under different operational conditions of 16 m catamaran vessel experimentally, the sea trial, and numerically using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). In submerged state, to enhance the propeller hydrodynamic performance, the blades are usually manipulated through artificial ventilation by adding the air duct which is located at the propeller suction side. These propellers operate at both submerged and semi-submerged states. Surface piercing propellers are widely employed in high-speed crafts due to having many favorable features.
