Ha its a bit like the Elbonia challenge.

Hessbollach air forces be like....

2:08 Some major errors here. First, the plane is named for Burt Rutan, its designer. The Rutan who flew it was his brother, Dick. But the much more serious error is your assertion is that Voyager's record for nonstop unrefueled circumnavigation still stands. In 2005, Steve Fossett flew the Global Flyer (also designed by Burt Rutan) around the planet in just 2 days, 19 hours. And yes, it was a solo flight.

Hah, you should do the Elbonian Armament thing, where your pick a weapon/vehicle that seems good but is flawed.

do more videos like this

getting across the atlantic in an hour on one tank is nuts

it's so commendable you would imply a military should care about fuel efficiency

Here before u get big, I'll be an OG, you are an amazing content creator keep it up

13:35 You are having way too much fun, and I approve.

this is some miyazaki shit lol

Might need to limit the rate of fire.

I beg you to make a series modernizing gen 2 and 3 aircraft, Idk if it would be repetitive but I love the concept of modernizing old aircraft

Bro you could do a whole series just modernizing gen 2 and 3 aircraft

As a retired microwave systems engineer, my advice for a stealth strategy for all models of Cessna light aircraft is to push it into a shed and lock the door.

I mean just fly under the radar and land at the Kremlin ... TWICE

Radio video would be interesting

lowkey rizz

10 missed calls from: lockheed martin, skunks, boeing

This is like something out of one of those weird early episodes of the first Gundam anime from before they totally committed to being serious military sci-fi.

Supersonic Biplane ..... X49 : Hello there kzbin.info/www/bejne/rH2ViJ9neZVgaMk

Is this the B-0?

Bro made a tuktuk with wings

Yknow what really screws with this whole generations thing? The first plane to get a missile kill wasn’t even a gen 3 or even a supersonic. It was a TAIWANESE F-86 SABRE!

Ufb flag goes way too hard

neat restomod

what if it was a delta wing?

Doesn’t hold a candle to the Ta152

The me 262 actually was intended to have a greater wing sweep but they were still working out the kinks. Much of that research gave the soviets a very nice boost in their research and later built the mig-15.

2:35 well that was a bad omen

I had chance to "fly" a CF-104 simulator at a Canadian armed forces bases. I 'died' almost immediately.

why not design new plane for the role similar to A10: close combat support and anti AA. So we need slow plane, capable of landing ant take-off from everywhere including sand and grass. It would be nice to have high capacity of loading ordnance and fuel. So basically stealth helicopter would perform this role better. Lets stay with planes - nowadays such platform would operate mostly as flying command and controll for the fleet of specialised drones. Due to amount of workload in such scenario we are looking for almost self-flying carrier for drone-operators. More less dual cockpit with AI piloting it and human pilot as an option. Here we have clear idea: stealth twin siter, with STOL capabilities and high survivability. Not sure whether turbofan or propfan engines are the right choice. If so air intake must be as high as possible - s-shaped air intake on top of the fuselage might contribute to stealth. Big problem is set of internal bays - weapon/cargo/emergency pickup of personel. Still we are looking more for stealth cessna equivalent than for stalth A10. One of interesting features of such plane is it's size connected with slow flying speed. It can act as flying radar-shield. Once it blocks and sends away radar waves, every drone hidden behind such plane would be invisible. Still cheaper and more effective way is to create stealth STOL transport plane. It could carry huge amount of armed drones, deploy them, refuel mid-aid and controll. More reasonable is getting stealth C130 and hundreds of specialized drones - from kamikaze drones, trough modern observation/strike drones to some kind of flying guns. In theory it's possible to fit such mothership with some guns or cannons - from defensive turrets to offensive, straffing canons. So instead of manned A10 average in everything but good at nothing lets threat "new A10" as just another drone. Something like unmanned cheaper and simpler version of F-117. Adding gun is not that big deal. Since its unmanned it can be launched with some rocket assist from totally unsuitable locations. It can also land using parachute. No need to thing about good handling on takeoff and landing. No need to worry about exceeding 15 G (no human on board). This might be reneissance of dogfighting and manouver fight. Just without most vulnerable, human piece of the system. The biggest problems in such scenarios arise around propulsion: operating speeds begs for turbo-prop / prop-fan and making this stealth is the hardest job. Who knows maybe it's material engineering problem: we need stealth adjustable-pitch propeler. I bet it would rather utilize radar-transparent materials. Do we have any that are both radar-transparent and strong enough to act as propeler blade?

The most modern jet on my country was the Mirage III and A4-AR Fighting Hawk. And I love these aircrafts... But, they are oldies. Like old airplanes yaoi(?

Ace Combat 7!

The A-10 actually has more survivability than a typical multirole. it also has a smaller vulnerable area and is more powerful. It's also easy to fly and is covered with thick armor. Personally, I think it would be very useful for any high risk anti ground missions, and of course, close air support.

You should turn a boeing 747 into a Stealth Bomber.

That there is an RV. Better make sure yer shitters ain't full.

Tony Stark was able to build this in a cave, with a bunch of scraps

Just mix f16, mig 29 and give it canards

You should try a stealth version of the XB-70 Valkyrie

What if it was a drone?

This is the German 1947 engineers representation of the A-10

Hey you forgot a couple Benzol rings

I wonder if a thick b-2 style flying wing with internal hardpoints would work better.

We got fuckin flies comin for us

Man I hope a certain General in the Air Force sees this or the army I won't be stingy we just need it

Maybe the fuel could be used to help cool a laser or electronic warfare system? I could see a high power system like those benefitting from already available cooling

this thing as a 3D model replacement in Project Wingman would go so hard. your videos are so cool to watch

The range on a nuclear aircraft would be utterly insane. Though I wonder how effective a nuclear thermal turbine engine would be over a nuclear turboprop.

Heavy shielding would not really be that necessary with uranium fission, as a water jacket could be used to absorb the Neutrons emitted and convert that energy into heat to drive the steam turbines. Most uranium reactions do not put off Gamma radiation which is what requires heavy lead or concrete shielding to prevent irradiation of the crew.

"Your nuclear plane is not allowed in our airspace!" "You gonna shoot it down?"
