Aerospace Company Asked Me To Prototype Their New Design!

[@MoJoNinjaGarage]

Congrats on that opportunity man! This can really open up some serious doors for you!

[@matei2.0]

Loving all these exotic airframes. 3D printing is such a game changer for this hobby! You could probably make the Testor's Roswell UFO model fly.

[@davidgalea6113]

Please test the stingray shaped roswell ufo. This is such a brilliant idea.

[@TerrariumFirma]

What about the Testors Stealth fighter, the Northrop-Loral F-19A Specter !

[@stevearmett1565]

Won't be long before the Skunkworks come knocking on your door Kyle 😉👌 excellent !!! The CX-01 is super cool

[@EDCandLace]

[@MikeHenderson001]

In the Star Trek universe, Dr. Zefram Cochrane was the 21st century inventor of the warp drive.

[@THEDRAGONBOOSTER8]

A lot has come true..Got to like the Star Trek..

[@analogecstasy4654]

I’m a huge TNG fan so a few years ago when Apple was talking about how their new processor can handle a trillion operations per second the first thing I thought was, “that’s faster than Commander Data’s positronic brain!” In the early 90’s a trillion operations per second seemed like something that would take us three hundred years-it only took us THIRTY!!

[@techno_viking2609]

Also, this resembles that episode in Star Trek Enterprise when the young Archer flew his RC spaceship at the beach.

I hope and pray they can get this design into production if for no other reason than you get your share of their multibillion dollar contracts. You deserve it man!

[@markd3250]

Congrats! I knew your success with prototyping the NGAD would get you some attention.

[@weeliano]

Incredible! Once balanced and tuned this thing is on rails!!

[@GuyLakeman]

really liked that first throw looping about !

[@fgeiger41]

Wow. VTOL and SSTO! That's wild. Great prototype

[@Jimbo-in-Thailand]

After watching several of your interesting videos I'm gonna start calling you 'Nascar' Kyle since most of your flights seem to be left hand turns. Haha! Anyway, congrats on getting chosen to do this prototype. Cheers from Thailand! 😁

[@AnthonyDDean]

Great group of guys!

[@hugh_jasso]

This certainly raised my interest in this new space program and craft.

[@MrMagoo321]

Wow Kyle I'm happy for you that's awesome 👍👍👍

[@hvmanara]

That's such a cool-looking design for a plane. Best of luck to Cochrane Exploration in their current and future endeavors. I just hope it's not another vaporware aerospace project.

[@stuartpatterson1617]

Bleed some thrust off to make an afterburner in the middle for extra awesomeness. Cool design!

[@zaflowgalactic]

When I was a kid I always used Estes rocket engines. They come with electric matches, but they usually have a little pop at the end meant for deploying the chute, so be careful to build in some venting for the back end of the rocket motor, preferably to vent it backwards for a little extra kick when the motor is spent, and also be aware that even with a vent that pop at the end could break the craft, or maybe eject the spent motor. They might have ones that do not have the pop at the end for the chute, just find out the Estes motors.

[@michiganengineer8621]

Estes or Centauri engines. Not sure if Centauri is still around TBH. If the engine(s) a little loose in the mounting it should self eject after the engine is spent. He'd just need to make the front end of those mounts extra strong.

[@XxsteamerxX]

Well done sir. You have just built the Elite Dangerous Krait Phantom! Very nice. What an awesome opportunity

[@XxsteamerxX]

Speaking of which, I would love for you to design and fly the Python Mk II from the same game. Looks very similar to the SR71 Blackbird

[@randallclemons8638]

It makes me happy to see people succeed. You have a bright future. Don't forget all of us little people. For real, you have a future. I hope one day you build the aircraft that shocks us all......and is responsible for ten years worth of UFO reports ;)

[@MonsterPartsRc]

I love these ‘strange’ planes, but I’m still waiting for a Macross YF-19 with thrust-vectored pitch… I thought you would think that would have been be a challenge 😁

@@hotlapkyle Yes, simple 9V battery, servo, wires, and igniter. 😁👍👍🇺🇸

[@garrykennedy5484]

Any delta wing needs little aileron and a lot of elevator controls. Man you're doing so much better these days. Kudos to you sir!!!! Keep up the amazing work my feathered friend. I've been through designing and building and flying new concepts. Almost anything can fly with the right amount of power and CG. LOL This one is a piece of cake!!!!! You got this!!!!!!! The VTOL aspect though presents a LOT more going on than straight flight though. I think there's enough room for this, but may take some creative duct work that I haven't seen before, but is, I believe, doable. It'll burn some amps doing vertical, but everything does. Going to need gyros assistance for that for sure and fine tuning PIDs is a monster. But there's some really great software out there nowadays compared to when I was doing it. LOL

[@Kelvin130552]

Love your videos. Good flying from the UK. 👍

[@jean-pierrebeland9266]

that's great Kyle! For the more expert people, have in mind that density of the materials you are using for the air frame a.k.a the total weight of the airplane will influence the 'fly ability'. Kyle can make almost anything or shape fly because of the light materials he uses. Applying this to a solid air frame with all ' spare' room filled with propellants an oxidizers will make a huge difference in the density & total weight and will therefor impact greatly the flight characteristics.

[@DrLesterTheSmith]

Super Incredible! Way to grow your passion into opportunity!

[@Spetznatz01]

Totally awesome! Just an idea, I’d like to see one of the “one-man” light jets from Tron Legacy fly.

[@ShaneSaxson]

Great job!!!

[@simons6208]

That culvert mean's Business.... Amazing 👏

[@Accuaro]

I'm impressed by the aerospike engines. Hell yeah.

[@tcav3556]

I'm loving this over all design.

[@tcav3556]

I m however curious on how this craft would get into orbit. Even love orbital craft usually require a rather large booster system to get there. Sure it will maneuver a what ever altitude it happens to be. But Getting up there?

[@bobcathyper7797]

That’s awesome! You have learned so much!!!

[@DirectorFrisch]

the small rocket engines usually have a small detonation at the end to pop a parachute - use a light friction fit on the rocket engines so they can detach themselves from the plane

[@stuartjarman1703]

Love your planes!! Now you are doing space planes, a Star Wars X-wing fighter would be amazing next please!! I have full faith in you! May the force be with you!!

[@rolandmine6693]

This is next level man. Damn, this is so cool!

[@GlideStxr]

Amazing work! Would love to see your version of a modernized or futuristic (or even standard) SU-47 Berkut

[@ConanDuke]

Great design. Needs lifting-body geometry on the undercariage like the X-24 / HL-10.

[@clayturney]

wow what an sweet gig. Any chance of ever seeing the FA/XX files updated as a single part so we can split it ourselves?

[@thomaswakefield6889]

congratz on building their mini prototype, to be honest the design looks like something out of the original Star Wars movie trilogy with a few modifications

[@makertime6296]

Very cool! Would they not create more excitement for the project by letting you release the plans for mini versions to be flown around??

[@oomwat6101]

There are a lot of photos available for the Avro Canada VZ-9 Avrocar ... originally it was far too unstable to actually fly, but with modern stabilisation technology, I bet you can make it happen!

[@chriss2283]

I think they should release one. It would make for great PR. 🧐

[@1980VINZ]

I saw the title and I’m so happy for you, this can be such a rich experience and collaboration !!! To be honest, I don't have much knowledge about airplanes, I’m just loving them like most of men. I’m a car guy and into RC cars, but something who sincerely surprising me is how all your different designs are flying so well, like I said I’m absolutely not an expert but I think you really master your thing and I wish you the best for your collaboration !!! That’s so great… Salut 🫡 and congrats !!! ViNZ.

[@DocWolph]

They mean to build the "Star Raker" spaceplane. Just look it up. It is seriously cool and was meant to the reusable spacecraft to orbit the Space Shuttle NASA ended having to settle with. The 1960's were so awesome.

[@quantumenergysolutions9128]

Congratulations , you deserve it, As you see the lord works in mysterious ways... , It may be because I posted your channel link to some people who I knew would see your great talents.

[@luizmattos9031]

Very cool. Do you have a plans and details contruction?

[@kyleeames8229]

11:34 “I know they’re not going to be doing aerobatics…” Dude, I’ve seen aircraft you’d never imagine doing aerobatics recorded at air shows. Boeing 777s, military cargo aircraft like the C-130, you name it! They may surprise you. Also yes, very cool. It looks like one of the craft that features in the opening of Star Trek: Enterprise. It’s been a long road, Gettin’ from there to here…

[@gerardarmstrong7254]

Please make a water take off jet I've been waiting for you to do one like forever.

[@rc-fannl7364]

Naturally they'd ask you as anything you created recently, flies great

[@pricelessppp]

This would go well with starship!

[@MonsterPartsRc]

I still wanna see a video of your modeling process… how you split up the planes for printing and such… if you don’t do the YF-19, then I might… models are already out there, they just need to be hollowed and split for printing

[@hotlapkyle]

Check my channel. I did a full multi part modeling video for my “shmiggen” also check my “dagger 1” very similar to the YF-19. The YF won’t fly without larger canards. I have a lot of experience with forward swept wings. I’m about to release my X-29 also. Another item is the vertical strakes under the YF-19 would have to go.

[@JohnMulkey-g8y]

Have you ever made a video on your designing aircraft? The software you use, etc. Just finished building your FA-XX, but have yet to fly it. Thanks.

[@MonsterPartsRc]

I keep saying the same thing… I want to see a Macross YF-19 with thrust vectored pitch… there are 3D models out there but they need to be hollowed for electronics and split for printing, so it would be nice to get an idea of the process so that even if Kyle doesn’t make a particular plane.., at least WE could try I don’t even know what software he uses… and I use everything from SketchUp to Fusion360 and Blender

Very cool video as always, I was curious could you make a video when you fly a plane that has a lot of burrs and inerfections on the leading edges that result from 3D printing and later fly the same plane sanded it down and perfectly smooth and see if flight performance would be affected example top speed high aoa , noise at zero throttle in a low pass , and maybe flight time.... Thanks and cheers

by mass producing the RC version they could partially fund their project. This would ahum "fly" off the shelves. No cap.

[@reasonitout9087]

Not sure if it intended to achieve achieve orbital insertion or not. If yes, it has to carry enough fuel to achieve 4.9 miles per second. That requires approx 2 million liters or 525,000 gallons of fuel.

Why does it need control surfaces for space exploration? Did they mean multiple media maneuvering craft? Maybe SSTO?

[@thomascarmichael6760]

Yeah , I heard something about a company trying to develop a SSTO vehicle (single stage to orbit. A book called Half Way to Anywhere documents efforts back in the nineties to develop the concept. Once it was turned over to NASA they shelved the whole ting in favor of their same old concept of flying ammunition shedding parts as it goes to orbit. After all NASA is using taxpayer money so their motto should be “Hang The Expense”!

[@owenjohnson3985]

It’s a hyper sonic recently vehicle the low pressure area in a dense atmosphere makes engines more efficient delta suggests a lifting body type as well

[@BuzzBrenneman]

DARPA is always watching

[@MrMagoo321]

Its not letting me post the link but an estes a10-0t model rocket engine also. They used to ignite by completing an electrical circuit (a y wire with a match head type ignition source) since you're basically making heat through a crossed wire. Maybe that circuit can be completed by using a remote battery with a remote on off switch that is either digital or a mechanical and could be actuated with a servo and a little push rod that can push pull the switch on off; but i would NOT use lithium and i would test on the ground definitely. Lithium might explode the battery and ignite the electrode 😆😆

[@aw_dev]

One could use a MOSFET triggered by the RC receiver :)

[@MrMagoo321]

@@aw_dev yeah I knew there was something. I've been out of it for a while and have been following pages like this and RC test flight. There's been major advancements over time!!

[@DangerousDac]

How much does a small scale, super light airframe with an out of scale thrust profile help with determining the aerodynamic performance of a design?

[@markroest]

We would like to partner with you and Cochrane to develop and build solar PV thin film to put on the plane, with a possibility of getting 400 to 600 Watts per square meter. We are also developing non-lithium batteries with much higher specific energy. You could multiply the range.
