10 Cancelled US Fighter Aircraft You’ve Never Heard Of | Curious List

[@GRIZZLYSGEAR]

The "State Route" 71, a precursor to the "Country Highway" 53 and "Artificial Canal" 130...

[@chrisbaker2903]

I never heard of a State Room 71. That's why I HATE computer narration. Get a person to read the script so we don't get stupid stuff like that. Edit: Oops. I guess the computer is saying State Route not State Room. Still calling it anything besides SR-71 will just confuse people.

[@Curiouslist]

Fair point. The new videos will have a real voice😊

[@charlestaylor253]

The State Room 71 was designed by Lockheed's Skunk...Works. 😂

[@300guy]

I am pretty sure it was State Route 71 although which state isn't immediately clear.

[@jimroberts3009]

SR = Strategic Reconnaissance not state route. By the way I know about all these aircraft, they're not that unknown!

[@Curiouslist]

True, the script said "SR" but for some reason the AI added words i didn't put in the script LOL. I did a terrible job double checking the narration, so my bad. Ive done better since then. If you know all of them then you're above average, i didn't :D

[@jimroberts3009]

@@Curiouslist Firstly don't use AI and secondly I'm 72 and have been an aviation enthusiast most of my life.

‘State Route 71’ 😂 robot

[@Curiouslist]

true🤣

[@chrisbaker2903]

I thought he said state room. Hmm. I'll go listen again.

[@drivernjax]

I know, right? Jeez! Let's stop with the so-called artificial intelligence (which may be artificial but it's far from intelligent) and get some REAL intelligence to narrate these videos.

[@longshot7601]

I turned off the video not long after. There were other pieces of bad info before that.

[@ThorsonWiles]

Is it so hard for video creators to actually listen to what the generative bots are creating before they post?

[@josemoreno3334]

One fighter that did not make it was the F-16 XL. It was a delta wing like design.

[@jaredharris1970]

I think the tiger shark would have been a good fighter highly maneuverable and fast and lightweight

[@RobertGraziose]

The Grumman Skyrocket became the F7F Tigercat. Entered the war too late to see action. Saw some action in Korea as a night fighter.

[@300guy]

Not exactly although it was a stepping stone on the way there I would say almost less so than the Wildcat to the Hellcat. But still a learning experience making design of the latter plane easier.

[@beeleo]

This narration is so bad, it's beyond bad. There are SO many better channels out there where a human reads and discusses their material.

[@Curiouslist]

The narration will improve over time, promise😁we all got to start from somewhere. Thanks for your valued feedback, I appreciate it.

[@beeleo]

@@Curiouslista good starting point would be for an actual human who knows the material to actually read the material.

[@towgod7985]

​@Curiouslist ummm...no! How about you listen to the people watching your video, lose the RoboVoice and get a real person!

[@daleferber2096]

While you saw a shot of it , no mention of the YF-23 Also no mention of the F-20 TigerShark

[@Curiouslist]

Yeah, that's YF-23 was just a filler shot😁 The F-20 is a good catch, I should have included it. It was very promising, worked well but just had some bad luck. I'll make another list to include it.

[@hooptiej]

youve heard of those.

[@kentl7228]

The list is "what you've never heard of". I know most of these but I would suggest that the F20 and YF23 are more commonly known.

[@robertotamesis1783]

Reagan, and the ejection seat was the Problem.

[@RobertGraziose]

The "Gruumen" X10? Also Kelly Johnson headed up the Skunk Works. Robot.

[@b6056tc]

The XP-50 cancelled, then became XP-50 which lost a USAAF flyoff competition to the XP-38. The XF7F (G-51) made it to Naval production but the USAAF wanted one of these for testing designating it XP-65. Identical to F7F but had high-altitude superchargers. Lost interest and sole example location is unknown.

[@jeffreyhall2136]

No YF-23?

[@garyodle5663]

What about the Northrop F-20 Tigershark?

[@JM-lf4ws]

It was a list of 10...not 11....The F20 Tigershark was privately funded and did not get the international orders it was expected to get. It was a shame as the F404 Engine really was a great engine for that export fighter concept.

[@stonebear]

DOWN WITH BOTS. "Grooman". Indeed.

[@RogbodgeVideo]

The Moonbat and the Ascender might have been more successful with jet engines.

[@Curiouslist]

I think so too. Too bad they never got the funding to do so for the Moonbat

[@scootergeorge7089]

Only 3 I have never hear of are the YF-90, Heinrich Pursuit, and strongly, having worked on the F/A-18A while assigned to VFA-305, the F-18L. I have heard of the YF-17A.

[@Curiouslist]

Wow, the fact that you actually worked on some of these machines is awesome. Respect!☺

[@ifga16]

To those who sat through this pile of junk, please us the thumbs down button. It does work and there are apps which will display the numbers of thumbs down.

[@Curiouslist]

Am sure you're fun at parties😂

[@ifga16]

@@Curiouslist Sure am.

[@samsignorelli]

The Skyrocket DID see active service.....in DC Comics' "Blackhawks" series. And yeah....either find a better AI reader or do the narration yourself....the obvious errors are irritating...at least LISTEN to the playback before posting.

[@ΚωνσταντίνοςΜπαραχάνος]

I believe that at least F-18l could have proceed and Greece could have buy the aircraft.

[@garyodle5663]

What about the Boeing Skyfox, a heavily Modified T-33A?

[@RogbodgeVideo]

That was intended to be a trainer, not a fighter.

[@Jonno2summit]

F-18L? Wasn't that the F-17?

[@Michael-vb5qb]

F20 fastest time to climb Fastest self stabilizing radar

[@michaelhband]

👍👍👍❤❤❤✈✈✈

[@stanleyharrell6009]

Where the heck is the F-107 in this list? Some list you have here. #1 should have been F-107 and #2 YF-23.

[@ScottWilly8969]

Wtf no F21?

[@Curiouslist]

Looks like a new list is needed to include it😊

[@ScottWilly8969]

@@Curiouslist i meant 23

[@jb6027]

State Route-71 Blackbird???

[@Curiouslist]

It's Strategic Reconnaissance but I don't know why the AI said that instead and how I missed it. I learnt a valuable lesson about AI voice overs

[@morgandude2]

****** computer narration strikes again! And even this English chap knew 5 of these aeroplanes. Oh, and a bit of advice, do NOT say "You've never heard of." Seriously.

[@oronjoffe]

Was the De Havilland Mosquito was not a dual engined fighter?

[@tallaster-g7s]

One version was a fighter bomber.

[@tallaster-g7s]

One version was a fighter bomber.

[@SuperrichtSuprt]

I would like it if you could speak English and know what you are saying.

[@Curiouslist]

I would also like to have epic music play as I walk down the street but it seems this is not the planet where we always get what we want🤣 In all seriousness though, you're right, I didn't pay enough attention on this video. Truth is I was still learning how to use my editing software and assumed the narration would be fine without double checking. We learn and grow😊
