When I was a boy my grandpa took me to the air Force museum in Utah. We spent hours there, but the thing I remember the best from that day was walking under the sr71, touching it, sitting on the landing gear tire. It was amazing. That particular plane was in a temporary place while they prepared it's exhibit. I don't think we were actual supposed to be where we were but man it was cool
I have found that the secret to flying safely in general aviation is to match the number of landings to the number of take offs.

I thought it was interesting how unnaturally it fell compared to a non fly-by-wire plane. You can see the control systems trying erroneous maneuvers up until the end.

Dude, you're right. We gotta fund this PSM project.
a version of this aircraft is on display at the Schleissheim aircraft yard in Germany.
This is a beautifully made plane. I remember flying this aircraft in Jane’s military simulation game back in the 90’s.
If you look at most disasters (of anything not just air craft testing), they happen during 'routine' events. Complacency kills and feeling like things are 'routine' brings complacency. Everybody brings their 'A' game to the "risky" days and relaxes on the "routine" days. It is human nature. Crazy how the plane practically 'danced' before crashing.
Complacency is blood-brother to stupidity and stupidity is always dangerous, painful and expensive.
I once had a 400 cu. inch Snowmobile that had a similar problem. To vastly improve the speed of the Snowmobile, I removed all of the plastic panels that were in front of the intake to the carburetor (which sat, in full view, right in front of my bellybutton.) Eventually, if not regularly wiped off, the intake would fill-up with Ice and Snow. When this would happen, the entire Snowmobile would come to an instant STOP (resulting in ME smashing my chest into the metal handlebars.)

So the pilot knew the Kiel probe wasn't heated. Started recieving strange speed numbers. Didn't look at the additional speed indicator. Didn't put the plane into R3 due to not checking his other instruments. Noticed the speed was iffy when he put the plane into 20 aoe and didn't think to check if something was off.

@@Ihaveseenthings577 While i think it's probably the pilots fault for just ignoring the warning that the pitot wasn't heated and not reacting to the strange behaviour of the aircraft (like it not responding when he flipped the switch to change its handling), along with whoever it was who was meant to be checking the speed numbers. I cannot blame the pilot for ejecting out of a relaxed stability aircraft immediately after it'd lost its ability to maintain stability. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if the ejection was automatic anyway because in that situation reaching the ejection handle would be like trying to open a padlock when you've just been shoved out the back of a lorry while crammed into a washing machine.

If the heater wasn't plugged in and the pilot wasn't informed. Then it's the person who failed to tell the pilot's fault. If the pilot was told and they just didn't do anything in response.

Well it's pretty easy to accuse engineers of being arrogant after the accident happened, it always is. I mean the pilot flipped the pitot heater on and was told by the engineers it didn't work. His response? "Ah, i'll leave it on anyway". Doesn't even flip that alternative mode switch just in case, or descend to an altitude where icing isn't a problem, or check the back up airspeed indicator. Two thirds of which are back up solutions provided to the pilot by... Guess who? The arrogant engineers. Instead he just kept going like normal, despite the icing problem. I mean can you imagine a drag racer being told by their mechanic that the brakes don't work and driver just goes "ah well, gotta race". I'm not saying it isn't the engineers fault, I'm just saying there's plenty of blame to spread around and the main thing they seem to be guilty of was not going "OH SHIT YOU'RE GOING TO DIE IF YOU DON'T DEAL WITH THAT ICING PROBLEM!!!!1!!!!!11111" which isn't their job anyway, their job is to make the thing and inform the user of its limitations, which they did.

Nothing about arrogance. Things are going to go wrong during such test flights. Has always happened. It´s why test flights are done in the first place after all. People make mistakes, miss things or they might be entirely new problems. If anything it is arrogant to assume this is just down to mindset and you´d do better.
The X-31 VECTOR program was really fun to work on and I heard some great stories
0:51 Ace combat fans: hey ive seen that obe
When the plane went splat I really felt that. Rest in pieces.
The Japanese Mitsubishi X-2 Shinshin also adopted the same principle on their vector thrust test model. If the problem was sensors only, simply restart this project might create the king of dogfight easily nowadays.

Excellent stuff
Talk about needing some specialized training and seat time to get used to the bizarre characteristics that the (extreme) thrust vectoring would create! It had to have felt amazing to fly this thing! (...ya know, other than the whole ejecting and crashing part, lol)
I was at Edwards with Rockwell on the B-1 flight test program. Then assigned to the early days of the X-31. The cameras were set up for continual recording so the European engineers could see the progress. I was then promoted and moved on to a different flight test program at Ames.
What a sick airplane!!! The Navy should totally go back to this design. The aerial control is nuts!
Excellent.

Just from a pilot's perspective, I'm going to challenge your statement of NASA and the crew ignoring warning signs. Yes, they should have responded earlier, but at the first indication of the airspeed being off, the pilot reported it. This being a test flight, and a seasoned test pilot, that's fairly tame for things being out of normal, so I can understand the lack of immediate response to the issue. To further this point, when the pilot was told about the probe heat not being hooked up, he is very sarcastic with his response, it's just another day in the office of flight testing. When the next test failed, you claim NASA continued ignoring warning signs, yet requested the jet return to base. There is really nothing else the test team could do at that point as the jet was not in an apparent emergency, and even then, most emergencies just call for a return to base, ejection is a last resort to save the pilot if the aircraft is unrecoverable. All in all, yes, this probably could have been avoided, but after the takeoff, I don't really see how the team could have done much better given the circumstances.

As a pilot, I agree the pilot did well for the most part. Thing is, you should be able to feel and see or have some intuition that 210 knots isn't right and look down at the secondary airspeed indicator. It's not that hard to get a rapid feel for the airplane, so I personally think this is an illogical oversight, but still just an oversight. The engineering team, however, should be well versed in error analysis to spot problems before they occur. They should have spotted the errors as these aren't just everyday people; These are supposed to be trained, highly qualified testing personnel. Also, I think they should have all been working under the same radio frequency, or at least both pilots under the same one. Wadda u think?

@@reitairue2073 and you see, after the pilot ejected, the plane didn’t spin wildly for quite some time, it actually almost looked as if it was a leaf being blown by a slight breeze, as if it was waiting for pilot input to correct itself…. Just watch it over and look. It was quite some time before it got very low and started to “spin wildly” so…. There’s that.
There should always be redundancy on any single sensor…otherwise that sensor becomes an achilles heal which can bring down a mighty giant. Remember a single O RING brought down the space shuttle Challenger

5:10 ... Apparently there was one but at knee level. Halfwitted test pilot irregardless.

It was a similar sensor that iced up and brought down that French comercial flight from S. America to Europe a number yrs back. Lost in middle of Atlantic Ocean with all crew and passengers during thunderstorm.

@@dananorth895 DN I studied that in detail and it was…an iced pitot tube which when clogged shut down air speed, pitch and altitude indicators …literally there was 0 wrong with the plane, when the instrument panel failed to give them reading of speed pitch and altitude…the pilot reacted in a way no pilot should do ever, he pulled back the stick, and placed that gigantic plane into a stall, and it could not be recovered Redundancy in any extreme circumstance must be built in
Chad pitot tube: How’d you solve the icing problem? Virgin kiel probe: Icing problem? *Might wanna look into it.*
Hi bro nice video. Thanks bro
IT IS LOOK LIKE EUROFIGHTER TYPHOON🧐🧐AND I SEE THE JET TAIL GERMANY AND AMERICA FLAG.
This was just a cover up. In reality, the cause was *Shingo.*

This is so interesting😯
Pilots sarcasm during testing is just a terrible idea.
I'm glad that the pilot managed to eject! I'm confused how it ejected whilst it was so messed up
Damn, The X-31 got some sick moves
Engineers: "Ok how do we fix this." Reply: "Anybody heard of SpaceX?"
For all future Nasa pilots... if you tell ground control there is a problem and they take two minutes to respond just go ahead and eject.
I saw ship 2 on a tour of the skunk work facility at Edward's where they were building the X-33 when I was a kid in CAP. Cool looking plane.
Interesting how very small mistakes can cause such big results.
