Informative but commentary should be faster

I honestly almost never watch a whole video from start to finish when they are this long how ever I watched this one from start to finish. Thank you for great content.

I've always loved steam trains, but seeing the inner workings and how intricate and incredible the engineering was that went into these absolutely BEAUTIFUL machines is astonishing. I weep that humanity can't come up with anything this gorgeous anymore. Everything is so bland and boring, I'm glad to be able to see this kinda stuff and vicariously enjoy the grandeur of a time that I will never see in person <3 Trying to explain all this to our 4yr old daughter ... LOL I get so excited about it and she just is like "Ok!". I hope someday she enjoys this history as much as I do :) We get to go to the NC Transportation Museum all the time so she does see some engines at least!

As the great Lazerpig has said: Once upon a time way back in the 1930's, Lockheed drove around America collecting every sort of mentally unstable genius they could find. If you were ever questioned by the authorities for building a nuclear reactor in your bedroom when you were twelve, or if you'd built a rocket and tried to launch your old school hamster into space, then Lockheed was rapidly approaching your location. They took all these aircraft engineers with questionable levels of sanity, dumped them into a circus tent, painted a large cartoon animal on the front, and watched to see what they would do. And thus, Lockheed Skunkworks was born. The general insanity of whatever comes out of Skunkworks is well-known and highly revered.

This has been the most educational informative video ive ever watched in my life this video blows my fucking mind how much technology the turbine engine has alone

I've been reading about this plane since i was a little boy. This video is by far the most informative on the subject....i absolutely loved the detail... THANK YOU!!

My name is lando Norris and I didn’t know any of this until I saw your video. Can you believe Lewis Hamilton is going to Ferrari? Me and him are best buds. This is lando Norris from racing and your video saved my life. Also I know Lewis Hamilton and we are friends

how would rats get on the ships anyway? when docked? cant you figure out a way to keep rats away from the gun powder by keeping them off the boat completely?

Wow, dude this is a masterpiece well done! I'm blown away. Thank you!

It’s a hot rod

People should hit that like button. This video is a masterpiece!!

Thanks a BILLION for all of you and your teams detailed hard work, for the longest time I have viewed this aircraft in pictures and video, given general information, but not really understand the depths of its actual operation, design and "why's", with out any doubt you have cleared that up and flooded me with accurate knowledge of my absolute favorite aircraft, again thanks! ((US NAVY VET))

A lot can go wrong

The video is as extraordinary as the SR-71 itself. BRAVO!!

Very well done!

the pilot: just wait another 20 years

this...thing... reminds me ravers fought with stone axe in the stone age

Love all your hard work making this video keep up the hard work it's my favorite air plane love to have one have a blessed day today 🙏

And to think that this was all designed over sixty years ago 🤯

This is quite possibly the very best YT video.

Wow, amazingly

Can we please get one about INDYCAR! Especially now they have the hybrid system coming out. Love your stuff!

Wait… so no sky-raves? Total B-S!

This was very comprehensive and again...great job. Thank you.

This was great, thank you!

Lockheed should be begging you to work for them. Well done sir!!!

the flight controls mixer is so complicated, who came up with these things, it's amazing.

Super awesome and informative video with great visualizations! Helps me understand my books on old sailing vessels a lot better thank you!

Thank you so much for an amazing video! I feel like this video should be played at the Museum's next to the aircraft

great video ! btw. in Europe . 90% of all vehicles are manual

The coolest plane ever made.

That was great!

Blackbird 101. You could almost fly one of these things after watching this video. A complete, detailed breakdown of the whole aircraft. Great video.

This is such a surprising and enjoyable treat! I don’t know how to facilitate further brainstorming in a comment but I have in mind several advanced, recently declassified technologies that I would love to see you model in future videos. I have documents with substantial but nonexhaustive visual modeling and equations describing exotic propulsion methods. Creating models that articulate the advanced tech could catalyze efforts to instantiate them in prototypes meant to be used for the peaceful betterment of all humanity. I also have detailed resources on the non-Einsteinian physics which accurately predicts the possible existence of such advanced technologies. Current mainstream physics, with its placeholders of so-called “dark matter” and “dark energy” (still meant to account for 95% of the universe!), is in its death throes.

Hey, that engine (HIGH bypass engine) looks like the GE90!

Plastic as in carbon fiber?

For the tires, nitrogen gas was used as it’s more stable across a broader range of temperatures compared to air and other gases.

As a guy who can hardly glue two popsicle sticks together, I find the level of craftsmanship to build a ship such as this beyond comprehension.

I understand the two articulated steam tubes for the front cylinders but what does the one in the middle do?

Great video, your modeling skills are amazing

Great Job of explanation here. Lots of things I didn't know. Especially nice to see how it was laid out deck to deck. Great animation of the lines, shroud, and running lines.. Touche'. I learned a lot.

It is just unbelivable that all this work is one man effort...level of detail,execution,script,video edit....one man band....unique on you tube...just unbelivable....respect...it would be nice to know how many mouse cliks and how many mouses are actually consumed for each project 😂😂😂...keep on doing what you do..can wait for next project

This may be the apogee of function and style with regards to transportation and fighting. No tank, passenger automobile, airplane nor spaceship can yet hold a candle to a Ship of the Line. Hearts of Oak, indeed.

1966 ? Thats crazy

Can someone contact me so I can design a system similar to this. This video is extremely helpful tho. Thank you

If you ever wondered why you couldnt find a buick 455 at the junkyard.... ;)

Man made an automatic movement in the 1700s. That blows my mind. We had just stopped boring holes into skulls to cure headaches. Still using mercury in medicine and we pulled this out??

Great video; would be even better without music.

As a European, I can't help thinking about the mathematical difficulty that everything is calculated in non-metric measurements.

Who made this the group of people must be smart
