I *think* that is a model..

Its not a 737. Look at the wingtips. Looks more like an Airbus,
probably a 319 or 320.

Its a T.V. commercial. All computer generated.

That is so obviously a fake....or at least I would HOPE it's
obvious. Never can tell these days, with the state of public
education and all....

In any case, its not real or the forward gear would have been crushed.
After all, it is only an Airbus. <G>

What about the wingtips?

It has Airbus style winglets.

You're right, I didn't notice any the first time I watched it. It has the
'delta' shaped winglets, above & below the wing.

I'm sure the first time most of us saw that was on the T.V. commercial.
I would be surprised if they actually went out and did that to an
airplane for a T.V commercial. I'm sure they just computer gen'd it up.
I wouldn't think the FAA would be too happy about busting up a plane
for a commercial.

Never saw the commercial.

But I'm just going by the fact hat it bounces so fast and hard.
Anyone who's even watched an airliner land would realize they
just couldn't bounce that fast. Just think of the ride for the
passengers and crew. Also, for those who know something about
planes, just look at the elevator. No movement whatsoever.

Remember the video of that one test flight of the F-22 where the
flight control system went whacky and the thing was porposing?
Even that, a high performace fighter, wasn't bouncing that fast.

well, recent events proved that the nose gear of the Airbus is
quite sturdy :-)

Yes, and given it's unreliability the sturdiness is quite important!

Yep, the video confirms it. ;)

The physics look like a scale model airplane, not computer generated.

I'm not sure of this...remember the big battle scene in the last of
the 3 Lord of the Ring movies? Remember how fake the people looked
sliding on the dragons and falling? I've noticed time after time that
computer generated falling objects look odd. They're missing
something; my speculation is that they're modeling objects falling
without friction, and we're accustomed to seeing objects fall in air
with friction.

I loved the dubbed in booms every time the nosewheel bounced... most
dramatic.

It looked very similar to the clip of the R/C B-52 landing I've seen
several times

In order to bounce, something must rebound. Normally that would be
suspension but certainly no suspension on any aircraft is capable of
absorbing and then rebounding that much force. I can see the plane
(like the F-22) accepting the shock through bending the frame but not
rebounding much of it.

Ann, just look at the url - "jokaroo"?

Folks, it was a joke. It was a computer enhanced video of an airliner
that supposedly was carrying a rugby team that was landing somewhere
in Europe. The commentary had to do with "welcoming" them. The idea
was the airline was from the host country and the pilot was giving the
team a hard time so that they'd play poorly. Again, it was computer
enhanced and did not happen in reality, as should be obvious to all.

This got lots of commentary several years ago, I'm surprised on one
has mentioned it.

thanks...loads...

That blankety-blank site does the nasty pop-up stuff big time.

No biscuit.
