    My father was a USAF exchange instructor at the Spanish Air Force Academy in the late ‘60s into the early ‘70s. As of 1972, the SAFA was still flying these and dad has quite a bit of time in those machines (upengined Spanish CASS license-built versions). It was a great trainer, in his opinion, and I have the old movie films of him flying formation acrobatics in the Bücker. Thanks for the nice video and opportunity to reminisce.

    What an amazing video! I love this plane. As you said, Spain built the Jungmann under license even after the war ended, and my father (retired airline pilot) had the opportunity to fly a couple of times in one of those machines as part of his training flights back in the 80s in Valencia airport. Now I'm in flight school myself in Sabadell, near Barcelona, and there are three Jungmann in airworthy condition based here as well! I had the opportunity to see two of them taxiing next to me just prior to a training flight of my own ^^ . Thank you so much for this series of videos, Bismarck. You are the best, man. You made my day. You have long been doing merits for us to become channel members, and you did it again today. You are the first content creator whom I've ever supported, starting right now. You earned it, man. And even more. Your video regarding Wilde Sau was very helpful to me when I was researching information for my final paper at university (I have a degree in history), as well as the source material that you pointed out in the description of that video. To be honest, I should have started supporting you long time ago. Nevertheless, I will not stop supporting you until I die. Have a great day, Bismarck. PD: For those who might wonder or would like some pictures, the Jungmann that are based in Sabadell are these ones: EC-FUU, EC-DAU, EC-FTZ, and the one that was flown by my father was EC-DAL. Here are the respective links: www.aviationcorner.net/gallery_en.asp?registration=EC-FUU www.aviationcorner.net/gallery_en.asp?registration=EC-DAU www.aviationcorner.net/gallery_en.asp?registration=EC-FTZ www.aviationcorner.net/gallery_en.asp?registration=EC-DAL Unfortunately, EC-DAL crashed a couple of years ago, but luckily there were no fatal injuries. And I don't know if the airplane was written off or not, I only know that it sustained severe damage... Here is the official report (it's in Spanish, sorry for that) www.mitma.es/recursos_mfom/comodin/recursos/a-020-2018_informe_final.pdf Ok, it was a long comment. Sorry if it was a bit spammy.

    A nicely done video! One small correction. The wings are not really modular or interchangeable. This is a very commonly repeated misunderstanding . Certainly they are similar and have a lot of parts in common, but the lower wings have hand-holds at the tips and contain the aileron control mechanism that is not present in the top wings. Of course the top wings have strut fittings on the underside, while the bottom wings have the fittings on the top surface. It would be possible to convert lower wings to upper and vice-versa, but it would not be a trivial task.

    Nicely done, sir! It's good to see some videos on these lesser known (and virtually forgotten) planes. Anyone who's ever flown had to go up in a trainer at some point, but we don't usually hear about them. You'd think all those highly skilled pilot just naturally jumped in a Bf109, P51, Spit, F4F, Zero, etc. and were instantly experts. Without planes like this, none of that would have happened.

    Have an old 'Pilot' aviation mag featuring an article about the Bu-131 in which they concluded that the Jungmann wasn't as good a trainer as the Tiger Moth - because it's beautifully harmonised controls made it too easy to fly and 'hid' bad habits whereas the Tiger had to be 'flown' all the time....They also concluded that betweeen the Tiger, the Stampe and the Bucker the latter would be the one they'd prefer to own because it was just so damn nice to fly and be flown in.

    You should visit Sweden and check out the museum at former F10 wing in Ängelholm, they have a 35 Draken and 39 Gripen you can sit in. The official air force museum in Linköping has many planes but not so many with open cockpits. The museum in Göteborg: Aeroseum is a must visit, it's located in a former underground aircraft shelter packed with aircraft from the cold war era. They have for example a 35 Draken and (my favorite) 37 Viggen you are able to sit in.

    Amazing airplane, what made it so good at aerobatic pilotage that wings were very light only 12kg(25lbs) that makes along with a relatively low aspect ratio made for nimble and easy to control when it come to rolls and snaps as well as spins, that is where this aircraft really shines. RC model airplaneS by Paolo Severin are equally impressive if you really want to “Geek out”. P.S. one more thing, there is no speedometers on airplanes, only car have those things... Aircraft have speed indicators and Mach meters. Thank you, Bismarck it was a great video. I enjoyed watching it!

    Correct me if I'm wrong but endurance is "how long the plane is able to fly with its onboard fuel". 180 km/h max. 1:25 endurance - that would be a range of 315 km. What did I get wrong?

  • @griffn14

    4 жыл бұрын

    Endurance speed is much less than maximum speed. At high speeds the air resistance increases therefore you need more power and fuel flow increases so you get less endurance. The same applies to slow flight - air resistance gets higher the slower you fly so one must fly at some medium speed to get best endurance or range.

    I'm a student pilot, so I can explain it a bit. As you might know, endurance = time that the aircraft can fly, and range = max distance that the aircraft can reach. In order to obtain maximum endurance you have to fly at a certain speed, and in order to obtain maximum range you have to fly at a different speed. Also, those two speeds are both slower than the maximum speed of the aircraft, so that's why the performance characteristics might look a bit odd.

  • @beta1618

    @beta1618

    4 жыл бұрын

    The endurance time in the video is poppycock. Flight endurance is the maximum length of time that an aircraft can spend in flight, and is affected by cruise altitude, payload, centre of gravity, air temperature, humidity, and speed amongst others. Range, like endurance, is related to fuel efficiency. According to the performance details given by Bismarck in the video, even if the Bü-131 flies at its top speed (Vmax) for the quoted endurance time (with a hypothetical massive fuel tank), it can’t reach the range quoted (182km/h x 1h45min = 318.5km). Flying at Vmax is very fuel inefficient. For optimum range a cruising speed much lower than Vmax must be used, to increase fuel efficiency. Therefore it is blatantly nonsensical what he quoted in the video; the endurance of 1h45min wrong. For example, a Bü-131A with the Hirth HM60R engine (80ps) cruises (Vc) at ~150km/h for a range of 650km, burning around 20l/h.
