Several times for the past few years, while on a
transatlantic flight aboard a KLM 747-400, I begin to hear
what sounds like a turbine spinning up, almost like an engine
start, but higher pitch... Anyone know what it might be?
At what point in the flight? And in which seat?


Why, you going to book next to him and whine the whole way?


What's the difference between a jet engine
and Anthony?


A jet engine actually produces useful energy?

In the former case, the wake produced eventually dissipates?


Small point, It;s called blast. the stuff off the wing is wake.


Yep, my bad.....Jet Blast being the other type of turbulence caused
by... the engine, too Don't wanna be too close to either type I'd
gather, unless you like living dangerously :P


Datsa right!
in flight jet blast would be the least of your worries of you were that
close. On the ground, jetblast.
