A pleasure to watch his insight into flying movies. Too bad he belongs to a mind controlling cult.

I was enjoying this until Corden turned up.

Hello Mike, thanks for making the video. I'm looking to get into microlight flying, in in Cheshire, can you advise on flight training in my area. Jnc 18 off the M6 12 miles south west of Manchester Airport

Grouping US ultralights with UK flex wings is inappropriate. US ultralights are any plane that has a dry weight under 254 lbs and there are tons of options that utilize traditional stick and rudder controls. Heck, there’s even a few full metal birds that meet the weight limit like the Hummel ultra cruiser.

Mr. Cruise really knows how to properly spend his money and live life to the fullest since he performed in Top Gun at age 20 or so👍🏻

The windows aren’t a myth you lemer

Bro thought he could sneak some 707 pics 💀

Bruh 707 is not the Comet

And the concord was also very compact and not all that luxury

If the sr71 pilot cared at all about being in a small space than they would ever get hired to fly it

The windows are not a mith! The square corners of the window provide week points where they would break

90% of the pics where B707

I have seen a comet and it looks amazing. Just do your research as it's not a 707

Got to love a guy that has the money to do these things and than actually does them.

Dude fire your editor

Those “rectangular windows” shown were not the rectangular windows from the Comet. They have rounded edges and are still used on Boeing aircraft today.

That's the 707 not the comet

The 707 was the main subject yet it was completely irrelevant to the comet

Bro only showed the comet like once

But it has no practical uses.

Holy shit this video has so much wrong with it. For a channel that is supposed to be dedicated to aviation, you should do a lot more research before you put out a video like this. A, aside from the very first photo, the photos in this video are of the Boeing 707, not the comet. B, your whole explaination of the windows is blatantly wrong, the windows being their cause was not a myth, it is the exact reason. The square windows lead to cracks and fatigue around the corners of the window, which caused the mid air breakups. Seriously dude, do your research, or you'll just look stupid.

I know you're probably comment-baiting for engagement, but as multiple people pointed out you only showed the Comet in the very first photo - the rest are 707s.

That’s the wrong plane

This video is underrated so is the channel

You kept showing photos of the 707 (different aircraft)

Great actor and amazing skills. Just a pity about his Scientology beliefs.

i love the rocket racing league game

By the way I flew on her to New York

super cruise is without afterburner like in thje f-22 which supercruises at abount mach 1.1

Whoa, lots of jealousy-inspired vitriol up in here … still, so much of what he has achieved requires very hard work over a long period of time. Sure, having pockets as deep as his put these things within his grasp, but the FAA, liability insurance companies, the United States Navy, and the Laws of Physics, just to name a few - don’t give a damn if you are a rich, handsome and talented celebrity, or that you’re mean to your wife, or that you belong to a cult, - you ultimately have to deliver the goods. Nobody can deny that many of the things he has, he earned, or was born with. No one could do the work for him.

let's not forget about the Concorde's volume. making it nearly impossible to have a conversation

sr71 not passenger I am not paying 4k for 3 hours

''Concorde was complete luxury'' proceed to show camping car

A boh'oh'waer man

These are not comparable at all

Concorde not luxury

A-12 was faster

They aren’t comparative.

I like this guy Not gay

12 minutes to climb to 10,000 feet- so like a Cessna 172? 4 years later, still not in production.

4:51 That is mine, right there... :D

I met both of the Rutan brothers when I was painting airplanes at the Mojave airport, I found Burt to be very personable and exceptionally friendly, he was genuinely interested in the work I was doing and seemed completely void of the kind of ego you would expect from such an accomplished engineer, Dick Rutan…not so much.

How about an explosive bolt to release the rotor, then deployment of a ballistic parachute system?

If you can tolerate the tail wag of the v tail I guess its not too bad although passengers in the back seats will get airsick. still an expensive airplane to own. magnesium flying surfaces make it very susceptible to corrosion. I'll keep my Bellanca Cruisemaster.

No Mxs or Mx2? This video is inconclusive therefore invalid.

How do I follow you?

STANDAR ???

Prices aren’t too bad considering what they can do…essentially a STOL aircraft…I wonder if there are four seater versions…

Who builds it kind of important

Just the process seems ridiculously complicated
