The effect of the tornado near the Su-24M bomber is shown in the video

An unusual natural phenomenon was observed near the working right engine of the Su-24M front-line bomber. Water dust sucked in by the engine formed the effect of a tornado dancing on the concrete surface of the airfield.

A video of this phenomenon was published on YouTube by the Russian blogger FighterBomber. At the same time, in the video caption, he did not focus the attention of the audience on the tornado, but suggested that they enjoy the beauty of the sound of a working aircraft engine. Just before, some viewers reproached FighterBomber for the unsuccessful selection of musical accompaniment for its commercials, saying that there is nothing more beautiful than the sound of a running engine.

He called the audio accompaniment of the video the effect of Rumel-Gatchinson or Rimsky-Korsakov performed by AL-21F3. "All in all, it's magic."

One of the viewers agreed that it was all about magic. That is, it is a magician’s trick when he distracts him from the most important thing with his actions. In this case, the emphasis on sound can distract from observing the effect of a tornado near the engine. The rapid intake of air causes the air to accelerate and swirl into a whirlwind. At the same time, it was noted that for the appearance of a tornado it was required that several factors converge at once.

Another user jokingly suggested that in this way the engine is fed with medicine scattered on concrete. FighterBomber objected with irony to this, that in the video the engine is looking for a stone, because the purpose of any engine is to find its own stone or bird.

By the way, in the photo for the article, the Su-24M carries 2 X-59MK anti-ship missiles. Someone recently cried (not you) that the Su-24 was flying at Donald Cook with tactical X-25s, they say, it’s junk, although the rocket is very good today to your standards in your tactical class. Let them breathe calmly, otherwise they tensed like that. Such X-59MK missiles were exported to China.

By the end of 2015, about 200 Russian-made Kh-59MK anti-ship missiles entered the armament of the Chinese Navy's Navy aviation.

Missiles enter the arsenal of Su-30MK2 attack aircraft (NATO code Flanker-G). The Swedish Institute SIPRI believes that the armed forces of China received two versions of the missile - the X-59MK and X-59MK2.

X-59MK is a RCC with a firing range of 285 km, the maximum speed is 0,9 M, the mass of the warhead is 320 kg, it is equipped with an active radar seeker ARGS-59 (ARGS-59).

Figures are good, but what can you tell us about the peculiarities of launching a rocket, especially for .. "land" targets (not at the range of course .... well, or at an unfamiliar one)

[Sky strike fighter]

The weapons operator enters the coordinates of the target into the memory of the control systems, after which it is launched and the rocket flies independently to the specified area. When approaching the target, the operator, using the video signal displayed on his remote control, must find the target, put an aim mark on it and give a command to capture. Further operations are carried out by the rocket independently.

[orionvitt]

The phenomenon is very common, and not only at the airport. Often observed similar on the TU-134, even in flight, when you sit in the tail near the engine. The engine draws in a boundary layer of air from the fuselage and a thin stream of turbulence of compressed air (similar to the video) stretches towards the air intake, and against the direction of flight. I always wondered how this is possible at such speeds.

[Aviator_]

If a boundary layer enters the engine air intake, the engine will stall due to uneven flow. What you observed is the end vortex from the wing mechanization system or controls (flaps, ailerons). With high humidity in the area of ​​low pressure (and this is the core of the vortex), moisture condensate is observed.

[orionvitt]

Quote: Aviator_

What you observed is the end vortex from the wing mechanization system.

From the side of the fuselage? What kind

wing or control mechanization systems (flaps, ailerons)

if the engines on the TU-134 are installed in the tail, far behind the wing. Do you even think before you write. Or change the profile picture.

[Aviator_]

Have you watched everything from the cabin?
If so, the air intake is not visible from there. Most likely it was an end vortex from the flap; when they are released into the landing position, a vortex is formed on each of its lateral sides due to air flow from the lower surface of the flap to the upper one through the gap between the fuselage and the flap. When flying in humid air, condensation occurs in the vortex core, where the pressure is reduced, and these vortex cores become visible. Whirlwinds are dead, they won't do anything bad to the engine. It has nothing to do with the border layer. Make sure of this by reading Schlichting's book "Boundary Layer". Classic. And do not be rude.

[orionvitt]

Quote: Aviator_

Have you watched everything from the cabin?
If so, then the air intake is not visible from there.

How so?

Where is the flap here, let me ask?

[Aviator_]

I am glad that the air intake is visible from the Tu-134 porthole. I myself have never seen, never had a chance to fly in such places. A flap at the trailing edge of the wing, which is not visible behind the edge of the porthole. And where is the border layer?

[orionvitt]

Quote: Aviator_

A flap at the trailing edge of the wing, which is not visible behind the edge of the porthole.

From engine to wing, meters 8. And from the fuselage to the engine, not more than a meter. The vortex cord (if it arises), stretches from the fuselage along the front edge of the pylon, goes around the engine and is sucked in at the entrance to the air intake. And here is the wing, and the flaps, and mechanization? What do you want to explain to me? I talked about a phenomenon that I witnessed more than once.

[Aviator_]

Mechanization and flaps are here because it is where vortices form. Vortex bundles are formed on the fuselage at angles of attack of 30–40 degrees, which is realized only in catastrophes on passenger cars. In the gap between the flap and the fuselage released, a vortex forms, which you saw. I also watched them.
And further. What do you call the pylon on the Tu-134, and where is its leading edge.

[orionvitt]

You confuse the vortex air seal, which occurs on the wing at high angles of attack, with the "vortex bundle" that sometimes appears at the inlet to the air intake of an aircraft engine. I ask again, what do you want to prove to me? Re-read the article again, watch the video. Where is the wing, where are the flaps? The plane is parked, not in the air. It sucks in air from the nearest surface (in this case, concrete). In the case of the TU-134, the engine is located quite high from the ground (especially in flight ) and therefore, sometimes it draws in from the nearest surface, that is, from the side of the fuselage ..

What do you call the pylon on the Tu-134

A pylon is whereby the engine is mounted on an airplane. In this case, not on the wing, but to the rear of the fuselage. And the leading edge is that of the front.

[Aviator_]

I'm not talking about the occurrence of a vortex when taxiing on the ground. I understood your text that you observed this effect in flight, vortex bundles entering the air intake. So, in flight, the vortex structure is well visualized precisely from the mechanization of the wing.

stretches from the fuselage, along the front edge of the pylon, goes around the engine and is sucked in

Is this what you observed in flight, or on the ground?
And don't use the term "boundary layer" in vain.

[Aviator_]

A common occurrence at the airport, I have repeatedly observed how puddles at the taxiway are drained in this way.

[Thrifty]

Whatever it is, but for a plane standing on the ground motionless it is definitely not dangerous, and also beautiful. ..

[wow]

Oh my God! Anyone who served in the Air Force, be it a pilot or a techie, has seen such phenomena hundreds of times. High humidity in-ha + wet concrete. There is nothing unusual here. A small "tornado" under the air intake. On our MiG-27s, this was the most common occurrence at GSVG airfields. Humidity is always very high in Germany, both in summer and winter.

[Charik]

Something is spilled and the engine retracts

[pafegosoff]

Well, yes, I saw this two hundred times. We did not have a Su-24, but the An-24-26-32 perfectly coped with sucking water out of a puddle by means of a tornado ...

[old grandfather]

He served in the 1973-74 MiG-21 (aircraft technician). Regularly saw such tornadoes entering the air intake. Perhaps they are visualized due to reaching the dew point during rarefaction and moist air.

[ODERVIT]

An everyday occurrence. In everyday activities, the main thing is that a foreign object gets from the surface into the VZ channel with a whirlwind.
