When do you think that will ever happen?

this was a nice doc, its ancientness lends it a certain charm

All early prototypes weird and wonderful that lead to a modern day helicopter, thumbs up 👍

2 things I don't hear talked about enough is "gyroscopic precession" and "autorotating." Gyroscopic precession meaning: with a fast spinning disc, to get the effect you want you have to control the blades 90 degrees BEFORE you want the effect to take place such as if you want to move forward you push the stick forward, but due to physics the mechanics of the chopper actually tilt the swashplate left (or right) because it takes X amount of time for the effect to take place. Autorotation: means a helicopter is it's own parachute. I used to think if you lose power you will plummet to the ground, game over. But in reality if you are falling from the sky a pilot will pitch the blades down and the wind pushing through the blades will make them spin faster, increasing the rotor RPM with 0 power. Then the pilot has one chance (about 100 feet above the ground) before they pitch the blades back up and the heli will float for just a few seconds to make a rough, but safe landing. Think of jumping out of a plane holding a cheap box fan over your head. As you fall the blades will gain alot of speed until they explode. While box fan blades are fixed blades, imagine if you had collective pitch control. At the last second you pitch up and you've created drag, just like a parachute. These are the 2 things that really blew my mind when learning how to fly RC helicopters

Brilliant, this is the way to present an historic interesting video - no annoying ads and no distracting digital clock!!! Up ‘Periscope!’

My daily dose of quality KZread videos. So refreshing..

Thank You, Alberto Santos Dumont, You are the relly gennius !!

Helicopter's contribution to humankind is huge!

Imagine being one of these people, It would be mind blowing for that that time.

Always best to watch these kind of videos at mod afternoons and at the midnights

17:03 I just love those intermeshing rotor Kaman/Flettner designs. Also surprised to see the coaxial arrangement used on some of those very early experiments.

incredible how well researched this was for 1952 with footage also. very intresting

What an era!! And, were it not for the wars, what a time to be alive! So much hope for the marvels of the near future!

In other videos i saw comments calling them dumb,fool,idiots. Well we the newer generation just benefits from these ambitious inventors. We just enhances their inventions.

I love the Sikorsky S-51. They had them on the USS New Jersey during the Korean war. The same ship my grandfather served on during WWII.

9:15 That looks so freaking cool. If only I could be there and feel the awe and wonder of the crowd

It's interesting to note it was probably not a matter of design but of engine speed that took so long to reach flight.

What's wrong with optimism, people? Good gravy. After this film, I want to go to my garage and build a personal transport helo.

It's a great information man....

Very useful

Those first guys to get off the ground rotary wing style: "What is this strange song in my head?" "How does it go?" "Something about 'I ain't me, It ain't me, I ain't no'...something "

This gives me an idea

I'm so old we watched films in class with this same guy narrating.

though its old and some are failed but it's kinda exquisite to see their mechanical design in person it would really be fascinating

Dude the slow mo footage is astonishing for its age.

Fascinating

Amazing

Really cool video.

1920s quadcopter guy was 100 years ahead of his time so unreal!

I'd love to see the actual whole credits screen.

It's really awesome and amazing to think that if somebody ended up actually cracking the nut of gravity and created efficient, workable antigravity devices, this and so many other transportation technologies would become moot (as a point :-) As that's not necessarily likely to happen anytime soon, this continues to be very relevant!

great docu

Thanks for sharing ,many wouldn't have thought at that one could also fly using rotating wheels mounted at the top .

Damn, why is it so entertaining and understandable at the same time?

In school going for my FAA license to be an aircraft mechanic we had to learn everything about these crazy machines and basically they are constantly trying to rip themselves apart so I stuck with fixed wing aircraft !

Fantastic helikopotvora!

meanwhile, in an alternate universe where helicopters wasn't deem useful to developed, that guy is still playing basketball for fun.

The whole sequence of early prototype videos starting at 5:00 is quite scary. Just look at those dudes holding these very unstable machines with their heads only a meter away from rotating blades !

That's why we've progressed this far. People back in the day are less concerned about their safety, that's why helicopters were built. As we can see in the video, those are very dangerous tests and people on this day wouldn't probably risk their lives for that to be developed because of safety concerns and most wants comfort. I don't think you could've made it safe considering the technology in those times... We're lucky humans in those days aren't a bunch of snowflakes as we are now.
