What is that whining sound aboard an inflight 747?
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? Thanks

Anyone know what it might be? It's the Captain whining about his perdiums. Or it might be one of the electric hydraulic pumps. Bertie
