Excellent video. HUGE CUDO's to those amazing pilots who climbed aboard those planes risking their lives to test the work the engineers and fabricators invested to discover whether or not that aircraft was viable for the tasks of protecting America's FREEDOM. To those who lost their lives,, GOD BLESS, may they rest in peace and may their families understand America appreciates their contributions. Know this, they were doing something they loved. FREEDOM AIN'T FREE!

The Sea Dart was a direct answer to the Delta Dart the USAF wanted, and a tually flew before the Delta. I saw a Sea Dart at Marshall Space Flight Center sitting outside the public area, but easily visible over a low fence. It was unrestored at the time (96 or 97) and I did not see it at all the next time I was there in 2019, but I might have missed it.

The first non-stop SOLO flight between New York and Paris. On 14 June 1919, British aviators Captain John Alcock and Lieutenant Arthur Whitten Brown (navigator) successfully completed the first non-stop in a twin-engine Vickers Vimy F.B. 27A Mk.

Don't you know we aren't allowed to have nice things? Obviously the notorious NAZI chief propagandist, supporter & recipient of Commander Cross of the Order of the German Eagle, (just before Kristallnacht no less), Lindberg can do no wrong, but in my eyes, even if he was the first man on the moon, he should be forgotten.

Regarding the X-31, there should have been a reiteration of the R3 Mode as a safety net for any pitot tube related issues as the NEW Pitot sensor MIGHT fail in an incurable way as it did. Of course when there were over 100+ prior successful flights, complacency would be normal, so why change modes...of course the frozen pitot tube WAS just such an exception, but both the PILOT and the GROUND TEAM would have to have been VERY ALERT to make that QUICK decision. My father was a WW2 Bomber Navigator and always told me to STAY ALERT! That keeps you alive as he survived 4 crash landings and knew what he was talking about! Luckily the pilot punched out before he became a statistic! Glad they got going again after 84 days and did extremely well at the Paris Air Show that same year. In 2024, I see similarity to the F-23 and often wonder how it would have done in production as it might have been far less costly than the F-22.

Mighty Interesting shot at 1:56:01 showing the X-31 With the markings of the West German Air force ("Luftwaffe 131") as it is being loaded thru the front Cargo door of an aircraft that seems to be a US Air Force C-5A Galaxy. Surprising that there is no comment/information on that in the Narration. Still, this was a FASCINATING and thoughtfully-researched and assembled presentation. THANK YOU!!! Maybe because it's three full decades since this program, but the wings and control surfaces seem to be reasonably conventional (including the canard wings near the nose) So I must have missed the discussion of directed thrust/vector nozzles and controls. -- Stinking insistent Phone interruptions!

The Hawker P.1127 program, which was the precursor to the Harrier, was begun in 1957 and the Avrocar program was started in 1959 so the Avro vehicle was a technological dead end that had nothing to do with the VTOL Hawker.

The X-31 guys don't seem to have had any personal consequences for their contribution to failure. In fact, they seem here to be profiting from it.

Is airframe doesn't seem unviable. I can see the airframe being a highly usable high endurance aircraft. It might not have been such with humans on board but if it could have made to have been automated that design might have been able to stay aloft for a long periods of time, with what would be called the eye in the sky. I would kind of like to know if this technology has progressed into the the future and what has been utilized in what has been passed upon.

Saw a video of a flying pancake throttling up very slowly. Funniest sight to see. The tail end lifted off the ground before the thing started moving. Then the whole thing lifted off the ground, and then, it started moving forward. Was very cool. It was probably a fluke.

Just for reference, the huge Hangar #1 at Moffett Field was originally built to house the USS Macon, not the USS Macron. One little letter makes a big difference, showing the value of proofreading - something that is sorely lacking on today's KZbin.

The airship at Moffett Field was called the USS Macon. Pronunciation is like May-Ken or May-Kun. There was also a USS Akron, built a year or so prior. It sounded like the names were combined in this video. This is a nice collection of films - quite informative and interesting.

Having imagine going from propellers to Jets and turbo jetts I mean listen to amazing time exciting time I wish I could have been a part of it.... Then again I wouldn't have wanted to have been Chuck Yeager and a flat spin and f104 after running out of fuel in a zoom climb. I don't know what these men's balls are made out of but they must have been made out of something more solid than mine are

X 31 -->> I mean, you can talk and talk about this MISHAP , BUT simply this word is missing " incompetencies" For sure you can also say, destiny or unfortunate, BUT.... there is such an great professional Team, so you must honestly acknowledge that this was simply "childish dumb ignorant oscitancy" and the pilot did much too fast cowardly eject, sorry.... For sure, human life 1st, but as a professional test pilot, he could have had a chance to stabilize the jet by recognizing reality...... For me it looks like that everybody in this team also the test pilot was SLEEPING and out of REALITY like poor amateurs.... Anyway, shit happens and nobody is perfect, also not a full professional team too.... GREAT DOCUMENTARY about a GREAT JET and flight technology.....BUT also a waste of money from tax payers 😊
