Research and writing in collaboration with Tomás Campos.
In June of 1919, two daring British aviators made the world's first successful non-stop flight across the Atlantic Ocean from North America to Europe using a modified Vickers Vimey airplane. In just 16 hours, they achieved what up until that point, required days to accomplish by ocean liner. John Alcock and Arthur Brown’s transatlantic flight was celebrated around the world as a monumental achievement, but regular passenger carrying flights were still decades from becoming reality.
In 1919 flight was still in its infancy, and knowledge about aerodynamics and the mechanics of flight were still rudimentary. But a pioneering Italian aircraft builder named Giovanni Battista Caproni was convinced that he could design an airliner to fly passengers from Europe to America. But unlike Alcock and Brown’s heavily modified Vickers Vimey airplane, which carried mostly extra fuel, Caproni’s airliner would have room for 100 passengers and 8 crew members. Numbers that would’ve seemed absurdly ambitious for the era.
Caproni’s giant flying machine was constructed and ready for flight testing in early 1921. Designated as the Ca.60 Transaereo, it was likely the largest aircraft built up until that point. With it’s eight powerful engines and 9 wings arranged in a triple triplane configuration, the odd looking flying boat airliner captured the world's imagination. To many, it would have seemed like a new era of mass air travel was just around the corner. But despite a brief successful test flight sometime in late February or early March, the Transaereo would ultimately prove to be a little too ambitious for it’s time. The Transaereo made two successful flights and only one successful landing. It would take another 20 years before regular passenger flights would begin in 1939 using Boeing 314 flying boat airliners.
Thanks for watching!

    Actually Caproni's plane crashed into the water because the sandbags he used for ballast, to simulate the weight of the passengers on every seat, weren't tied down, so they may have slid to the back of the plane's passenger compartment during takeoff. Also, the pilot raised the nose too rapidly without reaching max takeoff speed.

    Mustard, you should have a look at the aerodynamics of this aircraft. Models of it in every size from small to grand scale featuring both partial engine mountings as well as all eight engines, usually electric motors, have flown successfully and have proven to be very controllable and flight stable. I have done a lot of reading about what caused the Ca.60 to crash and it seems it was more of a pilot-error accident than an aerodynamic or structural shortcoming. I love your videos!

    Many are amazed at what engineers have devised in the world of flight, but how many have looked at the greatest fliers of all time - birds ? For example, the hummingbird. In terms of body lengths per second, a diving hummingbird flies faster than a fighter jet, said a researcher from the University of California, Berkeley, U.S.A. some 15 years ago. Christopher Clark filmed the courtship rituals of male Anna’s hummingbirds and calculated that when swooping to impress females, “the feathered acrobats reached speeds of almost 400 body lengths per second.” He said that such a speed is comparatively “greater than [that] of a fighter jet” at full throttle. When pulling up at the end of its dive, the bird is subject to a force ten times the pull of gravity-more than fighter pilots can stand without losing consciousness. All birds have just two wings and are able to perform really miraculous flight, some ' turning on a dime ', weave in and out through a maze of branches in a forest and then land quietly on a tree limb, while there is the long distance fliers, such as the Arctic Tern, who has been known to travel some 56,000 miles in one year, going from the Arctic to the Antarctic and back without getting lost. Then there is the "speedsters", the hummingbird, that beats its wings anywhere from 50 to 80 times a second (depending upon the hummingbird bird, for the giant hummingbird beats its wings only 10 to 15 times a second, having a wingspan of about 8.5 inches while its body length is about 9.1 inches, weighing about 3/4 of an ounce, and having a heartbeat of about 300 times a minute while resting but can reach over 1,000 when at peak performance) The Bee hummingbird (which is found only in Cuba) beats it wings up to 80 times a second (but during a courtship flight, they can beat up to 200 times per second), measures only about 2 1/4 inches long and often mistaken for bees, weighing in less than a US dime, with the female building a nest barely an inch across, with her eggs being about the size of a coffee bean. The Ruby-throated hummingbird uses only 1/30 of an ounce of fatty fuel to cross the Gulf Mexico to South America around September of each year for the winter, a distance of anywhere from 600 to 800 miles, and then returns to following spring to its "summer home" without getting lost. No heavy load of fuel, no training in navigation, no complicated charts or computers ! Yet, it finds it way perfectly there and back. Just an accident ? Or the superb design of a Creator ?

    @@westnblu As you pointed out, animals, birds, fish, microorganisms all are lead by instinct, a pre-programmed arrangement built into their DNA that causes them to accomplish what God designed them for, such as the ant that is "instinctively wise".(Prov 30:24, 25; New World Translation) However, we as humans are not pre-programmed, but were created as free moral agents. We can choose as to what we will do do with our lives, being created "in the image of God" (Gen 1:26), able to discern right from wrong, able to make "judgment calls", able to show genuine love, able to look at the past, recognize the present and long for a secure future, as King David of ancient Israel wrote: "In you, O Jehovah, I have taken refuge. May I never be put to shame. Rescue me because of your righteousness........How abundant your goodness is ! You have stored it up for those who fear you, and you have shown it before all men, in behalf of those taking refuge in you."(Note: Jehovah is God's personal name, Isa 12:2, KJV) The "goodness" that Jehovah has stored up for "meek" ones is perfect peace, perfect health and perfect security on a paradise earth forever.(Ps 37:11, 29; Matt 5:5) Sickness and death, that is the result of sin or imperfection, will be completely eradicated and replaced with a "banquet" that never ends.(Isa 25:6-8) The animals, birds, fish and all other creatures will delight these "meek" ones in their display of ' instinctive wisdom ', such as watching a weaver bird weave a beautiful nest with only its beak, or a beaver building a dam, knowing exactly what to do, where to place the mud, grasses and pieces of wood to stop the flow of water, or a leaf-cutting ant "understanding" how to be a farmer of fungi. But unless a person becomes a "meek" one, a person who allows themselves to be "taught by Jehovah" (Isa 54:13; John 6:45), they will not experience the thrill of living on the paradise earth, that will never become boring.

    Yes but in truth it was an overweight airplane with an underpowered engine that tended to overheat, so much that the pilot and copilot were forced to fly with the canopies slide back. If it had been installed a more powerful engine with heat resistant alloys it would have been viable for more research and perhaps a more "jet like engine" but also Italy suffered acute shortage of heat resistant alloys. I've seen this airplane at the excellent air museum outside Rome and you can see that it was extremely well built but does leave quite perplexed why it was built so heavy....

    More he was limited by poor understanding of well... physics? If he had built the wings in line with the fuselage it would have made a great deal more sense and well, who wouldn't spot the obvious issues with wings stacked behind each other? Limited by the knowledge of the time is perhaps a better explanation.

He would've been ecstatic to know how far technology has come since his times. As Bernard of Chartres said, we are dwarfes standing on the shoulders of giant.
