Great video, very impressive. It looks like the diameter of the 777 engine is bigger than the fuselage of the tiny Embraer....

 

cheers from Rio de Janeiro!!!

 

It can.  Actually, it's stated that a 737 fuselage could fit in a 777 engine.  

 

Great video.  SFO at it's finest.  Day in and day out they do this.  Parallel landings staggered with parallel departures off the intersecting runways.  It's incredible to watch and listen to.  SFO Tower is on LiveATC if you ever want to listen to the operation.

Wouldn't you think the generated wing tip vortices would spread out quickly close to ground level?

Runway separation must take that into account?

I guess landing parallel is better for the small aircraft than being slightly in the trail?

Great video. Thanks for sharing.

 

I measured the distances between runways on GE and approx. 225m apart. Not much separation when you take wingspans into account.

 

Cheers,
