Area 51 is not part of Edwards Air Force Base. Edwards is located in the California desert just north of Los Angeles, California and noted for the advanced development of aircraft but due to its location can be surveilled by practically any passersby. Area 51 is located at least a couple hundred miles east of Edwards adjoining Las Vegas, Nevada and is not accessible or viewable by the general public.

I can't watch anymore. My biological father worked on these programs and there's just a lot of mistaken information here.

@1:44 1977 of the have blue project, False. 1972 was the Have Blue project also known as the hopeless diamond. In 1977, the have blue project became the F-117 project.

🙏🙏🙏🙏

What's crazy about this thing in person, is it looks totally fake. It looks like a prop from a highschool theatre production. Crazy to know it actually flew and did testing.

A book on Tacit Blue tells the story of an engineer on the secret program who was going to a company party with his wife and saw she had a “white whale” pendant on her necklace - said he could not tell her why, but she had to get rid of it.

Thanks for the Video. I always wanted to see this one, and the algorithm brought be me here.

All paid for by the USA Marshall plan.

The Shuttle craft Galileo.

Amazing how similar its shape is with basically all of the modern cruise missiles.

Double Mamba.

Because it's fugly

Interesting: Thank you!

A jury strut is a temporary repair. I think he means lift strut.

Rapier was British not Soviet.

Love the Gannet, such a cool aircraft.

I would disagree that it's the world's safest I would say the vision jet is safer because it has a feature where you can just push a button and the plane calls the closest control tower and flies the plane there and lands on its own. That's something that should be standard on any million-dollar plus aircraft you're non-pilot passengers would love it if there's ever an emergency where the pilot is unable to fly the plane

Tacit Blue is one of my favorite airplanes. Truly groundbreaking.

It is grossly under powered. But i would say most of the A340 variants are all the same in that regard. Unless they've been retrofitted with the newer bigger engines which should have been on them in the first place. Great planes though especially for long distance travel.

The Jabiru did have one great safety feature the engines rarely ever work long another to get airborne.

Brings back fond memories of HMS Hermes which had one or two AEW Gannets and a mail delivery unit also (1967 to 1969).

Interesting info on a plane I’d never heard of. Thanks 🫡

I fly piper always will. Nice try buddy.

It failed for one reason, that this video completely ignores to make Boeing's entrant look better. It could not take off, fly supersonic, and land vertically. It could do one, or the other, depending on the set up, but not both. That's what killed it.

So did they every find out who committed the Arson ?

Years ago I saw pre production photos from a Cirrus rep. I asked if the V tail made it a Son of A Beech. He did not find my remark humorous.

Dated, old information. The Thielert engine is replaced by the Austro 300, a 4 cylinder modification a a Benz diesel from a C series. Find it on the DA-40NG, DA-42NG (twin) and some Continental diesels on the larger DA-50 and 62 models (also FADEC). Also neglected to mention that these diesels are turbocharged, good for high altitudes, and liquid cooled so you can descend quickly without cold shock cracking the engine block or turbo.

If the Cirrus is older. every ten years the parachute needs repacking. JR Aviation's SR-20 has been grounded most of the year because the parachute repack is out of stock, hard to get and they are looking at $28k for the 'chute system alone. Cirrus is also Chinese owned, how much of that factors into good customer service? Either go for your favorite tin box or a Diamond. Why did the Cirrus have a parachute in the first place? Something about being hard to recover from a spin I believe. The 'chute got it certified. I would avoid any plane depending on a parachute. i prefer the Diamond design any day.

Another ignorant KZbin video made by an even more ignorant foreigner…

Abysmal script. A.I. job.

I liked this but I wish it had covered the US variants.

I have many hours in the Cardinal RG and it was a wonderful

It's been around for over 60 years. How long did Cessna need to get it right.

I know this is a year old. The Honda Jet Echelon/2600 could fly across the Atlantic non-stop

Expect to pay around $10k per flight hour.

Still, most of us will "never" be able to fly in this jet.

This is great. HMS Illustrious - no 'the' ('the His/Her Majesty's Ship') 'aitch emm ess' - not 'haitch' All best!

It was a Boeing that's why 😂😂😂😂😂

That was one weird looking jet

I first noticed this airplane a few years ago and I must admit the first impression is not the one to last, because it was quite ugly. As ugly as it makes it so unique and beautiful in its own way. I love it.

I am a private pilot and have flown Cessna seaplanes. Entrepreneurs who venture into aircraft manufacturing, claiming to make a vehicle available to everyone, comparing it to a Jet Ski, snowmobile, boat, etc., are completely ignorant dreamers when it comes to what aviation really is. And those who put deposits on these are just as ignorant. They have no idea about aviation regulations, the discipline and complexity of aeronautics, weather constraints, and reality. And currently, we are facing the same problem with 'dreamers' and eVTOLs!

All About Bs politics. Fact.

Out performing HELICOPTERS , what a load of bollocks ... you are a clown...

It was a nuclear weapon carrier so very powerful. Very clever engineering.

Weapons must look scary! That plane is designed by manga cartoon enthusiast. 😂

Any Cessna is worthy to be called disgusting looking plane thousand times before this one.

Not to worry, 20 years from now we'll hear that the Japanese or the Indians are dusting off the project for their future fighter program.. 🤣

An aircraft engineers nightmare for sure...can't imagine anything being worse....the amount of maintenance on that thing must have been astronomical...

X32 kinda looks like the Weeble Wobble airplane I used toplaywith back in early 1970s Weebles wobble but they fall down And the plane definitely won't fly

I believe the first plane shown was the De Haviland Mosquito? Not Hornet.
