Looks like the "Dragonfly" was inadvertently ironically named since it exhibited significant "drag on" its ability to "fly".

I'm not wholly sure that's true BUT *It earns a 'like' for such a trully appalling Pun*

Gotta say that's the most futuristic-sounding pronunciation of the old fashioned "flatiron" we'll ever hear. Flat-e-ron. Kinda sings.

🙄 Wonderbra were there well before NASA surely?

I would not doubt at all that the U.S. has a modernized version of the VVA-14 that is a troop carrier used by U.S. special forces. The overall design and engineering of that craft is absolutely amazing! With fly by wire and autonomous system advancements it wouldn’t make sense not to have something similar in operation. Sort of like a “Flying Tic-Tac”. Hmmmmmmm, wonder where I’ve heard that before? 🤔

Why would US special forces use a modernized version of a completely failed Soviet program? The VVA-14 is a horrible design when you consider you have to lug around 12 useless engines in flight, that’s why it failed

Where's Von Braun in the aerospace section, talking about preserving human life?

Oh come now, dealing with compressibility was seen as a physics problem, nothing more. Hardly an intractable matter.

THERE IS NO broken SOUND BARRIER, if so, where are the broken pieces! The linearized theory of Prandtl Glauert falsely predicted the rise of the drag coefficient: Cd = Cdi × 1/√(1 - Mach² ) The transonic aerodynamics cured that discrepancy but not for the journalists , who like the stupid, really stupid expression breaking a ( non existing 'Barrier') For the pilots including Jaeger the transition is unnoticeable but for the Mach meter indication.

I'm an American pilot. I am so "tired" of these British accents narrating these videos. Aren't most of the aeronautical achievements that you're featuring American accomplishments? Yes.... So, cut the crap. It's "pretentious"!! If Americans admired the Brits so much, that we wanted to continue to speak as they do, we wouldn't have fought the Revolutionary War.

Don’t forget that, since you are an aviator, they also gave the U.S. their first turbojet (to General Electric in great secrecy in 1941). They also shipped, under false name, Frank Whittle, so his knowledge could be properly transferred. It powered the first jet aircraft to fly on U.S. soil, the Bell XP-59. It also powered the first operational jet fighter, the Lockheed P-80, which initially fought not successfully against the MiG-15 in Korea, which was ironically powered by the same British (reverse engineered) turbojet. It was designed by another genius of aviation, Kelly Johnson, of Swedish descent. General Electric still worships Whittle to this day, and I am sure that Pratt & Whitney is also remembering the British genius, as it also gave them their first turbojet. As for the axial turbojet, let’s not forget that Britain also shared Metrovick’s knowledge… The Comet was the first jet airliner (initially powered by the same Whittle engines), and the Concorde (1/2 British) is still an unsurpassed icon of aviation. The Soviets blatantly failed in having a properly operational supersonic passenger jet, but Boeing, despite Kennedy’s statement (similar to the moon race), did not unfortunately go anywhere (Boeing 2707). The test pilot with the most impressive record in history is, certainly in numbers, the British/Scottish Eric Brown, and it will probably be impossible to ever beat all his achievements. He was obviously hated by Chuckle Yeager. Britain definitively has an everlasting say in aviation history, especially considering their population size, and resources. If you think about the pinnacle of the automotive world, Formula 1, all proper cars are made by British engineers, with very rare exceptions, and sometimes a spark of brilliance by the Italians. Ford (GT40), in order to beat Ferrari, had to have Britain build a proper car for them, sadly mostly forgotten in glorious movies. They really have brilliant engineers, in general. By the way, I am not British, but I have a tendency to recognize achievements, and when it comes to accents do not forget the Nikola Teslas, Elon Musks, Amedeo Giannini (the founder of Bank of America, the largest bank in the world under his tenure, and most importantly a rare breed of moral bankers), or Von Braun, since I mentioned the moon landings. Bell, another iconic ‘inventor’ (and one that stole the telephone invention from Meucci), was also British/Scottish. It is great to be a melting pot, and an accent should be the last of the problems. Being dramatic might scare away the next genius that is going to contribute to greatness 😉be more open minded if you can, it might not be such a bad thing,and do not forget that Benjamin Franklin's dad was also British.
