That smoke is with all new Jet Engines look at this video

You can’t, but it looks like the video is zoomed in really rather a lot and the No.1 is partially obscured by a mound of earth, which will block a proportion of the sound. It would be interesting to know exactly how far away the person shooting it was.

It,s about quater of a mile from the mound to the ramp,Missed its startup as we were waiting to do a factory tour

I think it said the person was about 2200ft away, not exactly next door 🙂
Not unless they’re really, really big doors! 😀

The most impressive thing is that you can’t hear a thing from the engines.

The smoke will likely be the preservation oil they put in the engines so they don’t corrode whilst not running for a while.
