Gorgeous hand built air craft.. wild designs back in the day 😊

I wish I was alive and able to participate in these events and the turn of the century I just can't imagine being alive in the 30s 40s and 50s and taking part in the aviation advancements

Where the hell did you get the amazing footage? I am blown away!

Excellent video. HUGE CUDO's to those amazing pilots who climbed aboard those planes risking their lives to test the work the engineers and fabricators invested to discover whether or not that aircraft was viable for the tasks of protecting America's FREEDOM. To those who lost their lives,, GOD BLESS, may they rest in peace and may their families understand America appreciates their contributions. Know this, they were doing something they loved. FREEDOM AIN'T FREE!

Fascinating story about the X31

The Sea Dart was a direct answer to the Delta Dart the USAF wanted, and a tually flew before the Delta. I saw a Sea Dart at Marshall Space Flight Center sitting outside the public area, but easily visible over a low fence. It was unrestored at the time (96 or 97) and I did not see it at all the next time I was there in 2019, but I might have missed it.

The first non-stop SOLO flight between New York and Paris. On 14 June 1919, British aviators Captain John Alcock and Lieutenant Arthur Whitten Brown (navigator) successfully completed the first non-stop in a twin-engine Vickers Vimy F.B. 27A Mk.

Don't you know we aren't allowed to have nice things? Obviously the notorious NAZI chief propagandist, supporter & recipient of Commander Cross of the Order of the German Eagle, (just before Kristallnacht no less), Lindberg can do no wrong, but in my eyes, even if he was the first man on the moon, he should be forgotten.

The X-31 guys don't seem to have had any personal consequences for their contribution to failure. In fact, they seem here to be profiting from it.

Regarding the X-31, there should have been a reiteration of the R3 Mode as a safety net for any pitot tube related issues as the NEW Pitot sensor MIGHT fail in an incurable way as it did. Of course when there were over 100+ prior successful flights, complacency would be normal, so why change modes...of course the frozen pitot tube WAS just such an exception, but both the PILOT and the GROUND TEAM would have to have been VERY ALERT to make that QUICK decision. My father was a WW2 Bomber Navigator and always told me to STAY ALERT! That keeps you alive as he survived 4 crash landings and knew what he was talking about! Luckily the pilot punched out before he became a statistic! Glad they got going again after 84 days and did extremely well at the Paris Air Show that same year. In 2024, I see similarity to the F-23 and often wonder how it would have done in production as it might have been far less costly than the F-22.

Was not expecting Attenbough there at the end.

""Zimmer Skimmers" were maybe not succesfull, but they were one of the coolest looking aircrafts ever for me.😎

The X29 was one of my dads projects while he was at darpa. It was a great test bed

M35 and especially M39b - I can see where Rutan got the idea the varieze and longeze ‘canard’ design.

Great video. Always look forward to your content.

2:04:17 we go from an X3 Stiletto ... to a Duglas SkyRaider prop job, with a toilet mounted as ordinance on the far starboard wing pylon. LOL ... dreams VS reality.

I think it would be cool if some one would try to recreate the flying pancake with modern engines and stuff or maybe even do 2 pt6 turbo props. Now that would be awesome to see. But will more than likely never happen

The F-22 has VTOL capability? I’ve watched them take off and land plenty, and it looks pretty horizontal to me.

Skyway bridge (steel truss non-redundant), I-35 bridge (steel truss non-redundant) & Baltimore bridge (steel truss non-redundant)

Mighty Interesting shot at 1:56:01 showing the X-31 With the markings of the West German Air force ("Luftwaffe 131") as it is being loaded thru the front Cargo door of an aircraft that seems to be a US Air Force C-5A Galaxy. Surprising that there is no comment/information on that in the Narration. Still, this was a FASCINATING and thoughtfully-researched and assembled presentation. THANK YOU!!! Maybe because it's three full decades since this program, but the wings and control surfaces seem to be reasonably conventional (including the canard wings near the nose) So I must have missed the discussion of directed thrust/vector nozzles and controls. -- Stinking insistent Phone interruptions!

Most interesting thankyou.

Fascinating video. Thank you. 👍

Thank you too!

The XCG16 looks like something out of Kaze no Tani no Naushika

38:33 It was the US Macon (ZRS-5), not Macron! Who edits this stuff?

Even after wind tunnel test the first pilot had to be somewhat nervous.

I got a feeling that some of this old machines could "come back" , using some of the new technologies. The combination of both could be good... What you guys think??...

From what I understand, the Flying Pancake's inner wing structure was of waffle construction!

Is airframe doesn't seem unviable. I can see the airframe being a highly usable high endurance aircraft. It might not have been such with humans on board but if it could have made to have been automated that design might have been able to stay aloft for a long periods of time, with what would be called the eye in the sky. I would kind of like to know if this technology has progressed into the the future and what has been utilized in what has been passed upon.

I’m no pilot but that damn x 31 damn near corrected and flew itself for a bit after ejection… he left a bit to early, but who wants to risk their life when you don’t have to knowing that you can bail out?

The XCG16 resembles the de Havilland Vampire.

He inspired the Harrier jet. He would have been proud.

Anyone see the beginnings of a modern Marine aircraft???😎

Ground crew got lazy on the X-31 last flight. I think they call it the swiss cheese effect

Osprey maybe?😎🙏🏼

First time hearing that the sea darts skis were to be used on snow and sand.

Having imagine going from propellers to Jets and turbo jetts I mean listen to amazing time exciting time I wish I could have been a part of it.... Then again I wouldn't have wanted to have been Chuck Yeager and a flat spin and f104 after running out of fuel in a zoom climb. I don't know what these men's balls are made out of but they must have been made out of something more solid than mine are

HaH. US to designers. Yea we would like the glider to be able to cary a tank it's crew and all their equipment. You can do that right? I mean it would initially be dragged behind a bomber of course.

1:35:30 the ups pagakes gotta keep rolling

16 ' props.. holy cow 🐄

If you want weird look no further than any plane that begins with the letter 'X'.

Gorgeous little plane, such a shame

Если ранее мы восхищались техническими новинками авиации третьего рейха, то англо-американские новации ни менее интересны.

X31= proto Eurofighter??

2:07:12. Anyone else notice the incorrect annotations? Example: 66'9" is NOT 66.9 feet.

The XFY-1 must have had one e helluva time in ground effect.

The flying pankcake called the flying pancake resembles a flying pancake. Edit, still a good video.

Well, you wouldn't want a flying pancake that looked like a flying cannoli, would you?

The airship at Moffett Field was called the USS Macon. Pronunciation is like May-Ken or May-Kun. There was also a USS Akron, built a year or so prior. It sounded like the names were combined in this video. This is a nice collection of films - quite informative and interesting.

07:10 - USAF? The USAF wasn't created till after WW2

❤😂🎉🎉😢😮😅

how do you get a paten when you have stolen the product what a racket

Hey. You can't conver it till it's ready to be covered right? So just take your time and do a good job. Dont ever rush an airplane. Those airplanes that are hurredly built are the ones that look and fly like shit!!!!

nobody had jet or rocket untill they took it from germany

Actually the first turbojet was British, and if anything the Germans took the British documents, and distributed them across German universities. Hans Von Ohain (the German credited with the first flight, not the first engine) credited Frank Whittle as the inventor of the turbojet in his own book. Let me remind you that after the war the Soviets, the British, and the Americans could care less about those utterly flawed German turbojets. The French assembled a platoon of Nazi engineers, and it took them years of work, radical modifications, and the help of the United States to make them into a proper engine. Last but not least, Von Ohain’s first flight was powered by a centrifugal turbojet (Whittle’s invention). When Whittle filed his famous patent, Von Ohain was still a young g kid with no thought about turbojets. Wasting immense resources in an engine that was an operational failure (the Me 262’s airframe was exceptional at the time) is actually a proof to Germany’s mistakes and arrogance. The Brits intelligently chose not to waste time and money into a technology that was still too young, but make no mistake, they had very advanced program, both centrifugal and axial. The Space program is another story…

To many adds!!!

the video is narrated by a seasoned BBC person (Nick H. is his name). It is quite odd to consider that already in early 2024 people cannot distinguish between real, and AI. Probably in another 5 years people will wonder if their are real themselves or not...Scary!

So why you worried about it seems like you've got all the answers

X31 was a bad part of this video. Great plane, but this documentary is overdramatized,experimental plane crash, no one die.. great, learn the lesson and move on.

X 31 -->> I mean, you can talk and talk about this MISHAP , BUT simply this word is missing " incompetencies" For sure you can also say, destiny or unfortunate, BUT.... there is such an great professional Team, so you must honestly acknowledge that this was simply "childish dumb ignorant oscitancy" and the pilot did much too fast cowardly eject, sorry.... For sure, human life 1st, but as a professional test pilot, he could have had a chance to stabilize the jet by recognizing reality...... For me it looks like that everybody in this team also the test pilot was SLEEPING and out of REALITY like poor amateurs.... Anyway, shit happens and nobody is perfect, also not a full professional team too.... GREAT DOCUMENTARY about a GREAT JET and flight technology.....BUT also a waste of money from tax payers 😊

Where the hell did you get the amazing footage? I am blown away!
