Jet caught in the wake of a superjumbo nearly crashes. A German private plane flipped upside down, rolled uncontrollably and then plunged 1. Emirates superjumbo flying above it - but miraculously did not crash.

The near- disaster caused serious injuries on the small Challenger jet, which was carrying nine passengers and crew members, and once the pilots initially recovered the plane it was forced to make an emergency landing. The terrifying incident happened on January 7, when a Bombardier Challenger 6. Arabian sea, about 6. Muscat, Oman, flew 1,0.

Emirates Airbus A3. Dubai to Sydney in the opposite direction. Though the accident occurred two- and- a- half months ago, information of the incident was only recently revealed in a report by the Aviation Herald. On January 7, a Bombardier Challenger 6. Emirates superjumbo flying above it, but miraculously did not crash. The Bombardier Challenger 6. Arabian sea had flown 1,0.

Emirates Airbus A3. Dubai to Sydney in the opposite direction, when it got caught in its wake turbulence. The wake turbulence caused by the superjumbo Airbus - the world's largest passenger jet - was so powerful that about one minute after it passed by, the Challenger, which was flying at 3. Wake turbulence is formed behind an aircraft as it flies through the air, much like a boat creates a wake in the water.

It is exacerbated by a pair of vortices - whirling masses of air - that spin from the wingtips. The vortices are mostly created when a plane is flying slow and the wings are working hardest to produce lift. The bigger the plane, the bigger the wakes. The most virulent wakes leave smaller planes vulnerable if they run into one.

An Airbus A3. 80 is 7. Sinderella Live Full Movie Online Free here. Bombardier Challenger 6. When the Challenger faced the Airbus's wake turbulence, both of the plane's engines flamed out and its Ram Air Turbine would not work, causing it to plunge 1. The aircraft's pilots were able to regain control of the plane using 'raw muscle force' and were finally able to restart the engines.

They diverted their flight to Muscat airport in Oman, where they made an emergency landing. Several of the nine people on board were taken to the hospital, with one person sustaining serious injuries in the incident. The aircraft, operated by German carrier MHS Aviation, was totaled, with damage so extensive that it had to be written off. An Airbus A3. 80 (a file photo of the same model plane pictured above) is 7. Bombardier Challenger 6. The incident happened at cruising altitudes known as 'coffin corner' because of their high risk. Coffin corner is an altitude where a fixed- wing aircraft's stall speed is near its critical mach number - the ratio of the speed of the aircraft to the speed of sound.

Both caused by pressure over the wings. In the region, it's difficult to keep an aircraft stable during flight - if the plane goes to slow, it could stall at a high altitude. If the plane goes too fast, it will exceed its mach number and it will go supersonic, which could cause the wings to fall off. Germany's Federal Bureau of Aircraft Accident Investigation (BFU) is investigating the incident, despite it happening in international waters. WHAT IS WAKE TURBULENCE? Wake turbulence is formed behind an aircraft as it flies through the air, much like a boat creates a wake in the water. It is exacerbated by a pair of vortices that spin from the wingtips. The vortices are mostly created when a plane is flying slow and the wings are working hardest to produce lift. The bigger the plane, the bigger the wakes. The most virulent wakes leave smaller planes more vulnerable should they run into one. To avoid issues cause by wakes, air traffic controllers are required to put extra spacing between large and small planes. For pilots, one technique is to slightly alter the approach or climb gradient, remaining above any vortices as they sink. The BFU declined to comment on the investigation because it is ongoing.

Mail. Online contacted Emirates Airlines and MHS Aviation for comment but have not received a response. An Airbus spokeswoman told IBTimes: 'We are aware that an investigation is ongoing to determine the origin of turbulences encountered by a jet. 'At this stage nothing indicates an Airbus A3. German BFU.'A spokesman from the Flight Service Bureau (FSB), an information source for air operators, compared the amazing recovery to the 'Miracle on the Hudson', where pilot Sully Sullenberger landed a US Airways Airbus on the Hudson River after hitting a flock of geese in 2. But the FSB spokesman said that the incident also raises concerns that the Airbus 3.

With the A3. 80 vs Challenger 6. A3. 80's wake turbulence,' the spokesman told The Times.  The dangers of wake turbulence have increased as navigation and air- traffic control technology improvements have allowed aircraft to fly closer to one another. The European Aviation Safety Agency will soon release a bulletin to reduce the risk of such encounters. EASA said it had been working on a draft for the bulletin before the Challenger and Airbus incident. 'Wake can be encountered up to 2. EASA circular to EU airlines and air traffic controllers says, according to the Aviation Herald. The encounters are mostly reported by pilots as sudden and unexpected events.''When possible, contrails [vapour trails] should be used to visualise wakes and estimate if their flight path brings them across or in close proximity,' the draft says. This isn't the first time a smaller aircraft has faced wake turbulence made by an Airbus 3.
