My guess, because the Eva MD-11 seems to be in the process of dropping the gear, is that the 777 has just turned left onto final and is leveling the wings, resulting in the deployment of the speedbrakes | |
To January 23, 2011: I recognize that....but the MD-11 has its gear down, so this 773 should already be established on final for 25L. Because it's established on the ILS and likely within 2-8 miles of the runway, I don't see why the spoilers would be deployed since the plane should not be turning. It is difficult to tell if the right wing is higher than level flight (i.e. in a left turn) or if that upward bend is due to a combination of the telephoto lens effect coupled to the natural upward bend design of the 773 wing. | |
That's not the pilots deploying the speebrakes, the speedbrakes deploy automatically on one side only to improve roll rates when the flaps are down. | |
Dramatic photo, nice composition, somewhat ruined by the watermark. You could have chosen "faint" and put it at top or bottom! | |
It's so strange and so close. But it's impressive see the hole create by the air speed brake and flaps. | |
Beautiful picture, very very nice this photo, take in a moment of the approach n the parallel runways | |
It is my understanding that Boeing prohibits deployment of the speedbrakes in the 777 under any one of the following three conditions: 1.) When the landing gear is down. 2.) When the aircraft is below 800 feet in altitude (not applicable here). 3.) When the flaps are in landing configuration at either the 5th or 6th detent. I obviously do not know if the landing gear is down on this aircraft. But the flaps almost certainly appear to be at either the 5th or 6th detent, which means the pilots were prohibited from extending the speedbrakes from that point on until the aircraft landed. | |
I simply love this picture with my 2 favorite planes !!! bravo ! | |
What a perfect shot and moment.... Nice Job Mehdi jan.... AlirezA | |
Amazing shot | |
Ripper photo, Mehdi. Great timing and composition. Well done. Philthy | |
For second, third and even more visits this shot deserves lots of 5 stars! Damet garm Mehdi jan (Mohammad) | |
Awesome photo - great profile on the MD11. The little fins on the wing and flaps are called vortex generators. | |
Very nice | |
Who will get there first? | |
I think it looks like an Eva Air Cargo MD-11. Good take | |
Amazing photo. And yes Boeing does have vortex generators on the 777. Just look it up. 5 stars! | |
Well done Medhi on being top of the pops. George C. | |
This is an outstanding photo...very, VERY good! Even the vortex generators look good, because as an aircraft mechanic I can verify that is exactly what they ARE! - Jaysen F. Snow - Midwest Tail Chasers | |
At the “aviation expert” who says there are no vortex generators on any commercial aircraft…take a look at the top leading edge portion of the flap and wing…what would you call those? | |
WOW....,What a nice shot.maybe on final but over clouds yet with extended speed breaks.nice catch.keep on your job.Warm Regards.(Tiyam). | |
To whomever keeps commenting on a "vortex generator" ... there is no such thing featured on any commercial aircraft. I can only assume you're referring to that pipe extending from the trailing edge of the wing. That pipe is the emergency fuel dump mechanism, that allows pilots to dump fuel mid-flight when the pilots need to shed weight (i.e. to make an emergency landing). And as many have stated, the trijet is a EVA Air Cargo MD-11 freighter. This was a wonderful shot. One of the best 77W wingview shots I've ever seen. IMO, the 77W has the most amazing wing of any commercial airliner. | |
Great Great Great Great ! My choice for photogerapher choice ! perfect photo ! Cheers Iman | |
Everything is fantastic on this photo ! Five star ! | |
Just fantastic. Love the MD11, & the 777's wing looks amazing. | |
Superb shot! | |
Just fantastic catch dear Mehdi. Thanks for sharing it here with us. I'm really amazed by 773 wing(its wingtip, vortex generators on flap and wing shape is completely strange for me)! Cool because of Eva Air Cargo MD-11 is extending landing gear for approach. with best regards -Shary (Iranian Spotters) | |
Wow!! A really great photo!! I love V Australia and Los Angeles!! | |
Fantastic Mehdi jan.The sun light on the flaps makes this shot extraordinary.(Taha) | |
An absolute amazing shot! Not because of the parallel approach, but because of the cloud layer... | |
Gotta love that raked wingtip. This wing looks pretty advanced to me, it wouldn't even look strange to me on a plane of the 787/A350 generation (apart from the materials perhaps, which get more and more composite and artificial). The Triholer is awesome too! With the (near) retirement by several airlines they're becoming rarer. | |
Wow, something I never see before, 5*. Foggy in LAX? | |
Love that shot! At least this scenery should convince anyone of travelling to LAX one day. 5 stars for this wonderful A2A shot! | |
To the visitor from nowhere; I think you have a clear answer to your question now. It's ten times a MD-11F (freighter) from Eva Air Cargo. Great shot with a good 77W wingview! 5* | |
Great picture, i like the wingflex it's a Eva Air Cargo (Taiwan) MD-11F i suppose | |
Its Eva Air Cargo on md-11 on the background. Nice detail shot of the 777 wing | |
Great shot. Love the wing of the 777-300ER. Nice Eva Air Cargo MD-11 too | |
Wow!!! great picture.. ohh by the way the MD-11 i think the airline is Eva Air Cargo | |
Absolutely beautiful! - for the person who can't identify the background aircraft, it is an Eva Air Cargo MD-11F | |
The MD11 is EVA Cargo | |
That's Eva Air Cargo M11. Awesome shot! | |
The flaps remind me of a airbus flaps... Awesome shot only a one time chance.. :) | |
Awesome shot. To answer previous poster's question, that's an EVA air MD-11F in the background. | |
Excellent shot ! It's a Eva Air cargo MD11 | |
Is that an md-11 in the back?which airline ,i cant really tell? gr8 snap though..5* | |
I didn't know 777 Flaps have vortex generators. | |
Excellent composition, shot, and lighting! Thanks for sharing. - Kavin | |
WoooooW.What a great job & exquisite shot. My choice is unique shot.5*[Farzad] | |
Awesome picture. Great background. | |
