The Avro Arrow has always bothered me, even as a kid. A lot of these were pipe dreams or competing contracts that never got the go ahead. Avro had functioning planes that weren't prototypes. The Arrow was built, it was ready to go, it was so close to changing the entire dynamic of which countries had air superiority, which countries other countries go to for their military aircrafts, and it would've moved aircraft design forward massively. If it had been made Canada could very well be producing military jets today. It was so far ahead of the curve and got shafted so thoroughly and that always bothered me, that politics destroyed something so advanced, and for a county whose military vehicles are now everybody else's old gear, this would've changed everything from that standpoint. I'm big into aircraft and the "what if" of the Arrow just bothers me a lot, because of how close it was. It was real and then it was gone.

Flying Wing XB-35 and YF suffered one fatal flaw for bombers. It couldn't hit a target because of the yawing wing wobble caused by the lack of a rudder, or the fly by wires computer control to dampen it out (as used with the B2).

This is great, very good production values. I'm glad I got the chance to fly on the A380 a couple of times, such an amazing aircraft. It makes me really sad to see it's program end. At least it became reality unlike most of the others in this list.

It's been around for a very long time I think. But I am one of thoes who did see this craft. I can remember it so vividly, and can even see it if I think hard enough. In a nutshell, I saw 3 orbs lights going one direction, seemed normal speed of a plane, smooth gliding motion. But no colored or blinking lights. It came to a DEAD stop, like pausing a video. The orbs switched around while it was stopped, then the lights slowly faded off, one by one. In about 4 solid seconds of them starting to fade. The whole experience was probably 16-20 seconds. From noticing it flying (thinking it was a plane) to it vanishing. The time was late, that super dark blue sky hour. I couldn't see the triangle silhouette, but I saw the lights. I put 2 and 2 together about 4 years ago when I learned about this black triangle UFO. True story, I gain nothing from lying. It made me a UFO fanatic once I learned I possibly saw a UFO, or a Top Secret government craft

It had its day many decades later and shortly before his death, Jack Northrop was shown a model of what today is known as the B2 Spirit and he was told it had been chosen for production. It was well known since the beginning that the flying wing was a brilliant design.

Safe to assume that all of these concepts/prototypes were abandoned for very good reason (whether it be cost, design flaws, instability, or a superior design that was ultimately chosen).

I've always said that the Avro "Arrow" should not have been cancelled. If Canada had continued, they could have sold the jet interceptor to other countries to defray the costs and lower the price per unit. However, the incoming Government was, as corporations do, looking only at their "bottom line", and missiles were cheaper. Still pissed after all these years.

You have my middle names and I agree

I have actually seen the TR-3 Black Manta in flight. It was back days after 9/11 occurred. I was station at NAS Patuxent River and was assigned security duty when night the 9/11 attack occurred. I was on guard patrol with a first class petty officer when we both heard a humming noise. We both looked up and saw this thing fly over us are 1000 feet off the ground.

5:21 YAY! SR-91! I recognized that plane the moment it came into view. I thought, "Could it be? Really? Yes, Aurora gets mentioned! Yay!" I still believe they actually built these, as I have seen some very odd black triangles crossing the sky. Of course, the ones I have seen have pale blue or blue-green exhaust plumes, which looks more like rocket exhaust.

A lot of these concepts have only ever been publicized in the pages of Popular Mechanics and Popular Science

Messerschmitt Me 163 Komet, I would like you to make a video about the one and only rocket fighter (I guess)

Great suggestion but the Komet wasn’t the only rocket fighter in WWll, the Natter and Japanese Okha also saw limited action and a few more types were prototyped ( If i recall correctly the russians also built a small straight wing rocket beriev)

Horten 229 is also interesting. Flying wing by Germany.

Are you ever gonna tell us how many passengers the triple decker airliner could hold? 14:02

The fact that some of these design made into movies...

As I remember from the TV series "The age of aerospace" sponsored by Boeing themself, the Boeing 2707 has a pair of wings which can change it's angle due to speed instead of a fixed wing design shown in the video

The swing wing design was abandoned early on as it proved to be highly impractical for a passenger plane

00:07:20 What technology of the MC-21 is "more traditional"? The state of the art Pratt&Whitney PW1400G geared turbofan, which is available as option? The full fly by wire system with active feedback sidesticks, first time the latter is used on an airliner? The first and so far only CFRP wingbox on an airliner? It's actually way more modern than the 30 and even 50 year old western designs, we are so proud of... Or is it meant "more traditional" compared to all these aerodynamic nightmares, which make 50% of the video? 🙃

Ah yes. Let’s put our entire army into ONE giant metal box with wings.

On a camping trip when I went through Nevada I saw the Aurora flying around. It can almost turn on a dime and is completely silent.
