Air India 171 SHOCKING UPDATE on RAT Deployment and Flaps!

About this video

Max analyzes eyewitness footage and evidence from Air India flight 171, which crashed shortly after takeoff killing nearly 300 people. He focuses on what appears to be a deployed ram air turbine (RAT), which he explains is an emergency power source that only deploys under catastrophic conditions like dual engine failure or total electrical loss. Max also examines the landing gear position, possible flap configuration, and discusses why the RAT’s limited power output may have prevented gear retraction, contributing to excessive drag.

Key takeaways

• Max identifies what he believes is a deployed RAT on Air India 171, which he explains signals catastrophic failure such as dual engine failure or complete electrical/hydraulic loss
• The RAT provides only limited emergency power to critical flight controls and requires at least 130 knots airspeed to function; it does not power non-essential systems like landing gear retraction under all conditions
• Max disputes the flaps-zero theory based on close examination of footage, noting that experienced pilots have multiple safeguards against such errors and the flap handle is designed differently from the gear handle to prevent confusion
