The “Model 27,” as it was originally called, was powered by the experimental Westinghouse J34 jet engine, which produced 3,000 pounds of thrust. In a feat of incredible airmanship, he immediately began an emergency descent and landed the Goblin prototype on Muroc Dry Lake in California. A belly skid had been installed for the test.

A significant amount of thrust generated by the engine comes from the fan rather than the core. Descent planning can be complicated and needs to be done more than 100 miles from the destination. These are the original turbine engines and aren’t as common now as they are inefficient and loud.

Anyway we were informed about the turbulence and for this flight, the first officer did the announcements. There were a few good bumps during take off and more of it during the descent especially flying through the clouds. Once we were cleared of the clouds, it was smooth ride all the way until descent. Almost there!

As this was the first time sitting quite front in the Boeing 767-400ER, I find it to be quite noisy during take off and there was quite a bit of turbulence during the flight. Many hours later, we started our descent into New York. Reverse thrusts were deployed to slow our aircraft down. We landed smoothly on runway 31L.

Thrust : The force generated by the engine that propels the aircraft forward. Pilots must counteract the additional drag with more thrust to maintain altitude. Higher altitudes are also less prone to turbulence and have fewer birds. Turbulent air will require a larger airspeed margin. Don’t go all the way back to idle.

One of them informed us about the weather and possible thunderstorm at Delhi Airport and he mentioned about the smooth ride when they flew in from Delhi so we could be expecting smooth ride during cruising but possible turbulence when we approach Delhi. We flew through some layers of clouds but it was not turbulent.
