Building a Rather Absurd VTOL Aircraft - |FLYOUT|

[@juan_h_fernandez82]

This is one of those crazy cold war ‘revolutionary’ aircraft that's really just made to impress the other side

[@valeriezorn9420]

Like the XB70 or B58?

[@spazzey0]

it's what happens when you give 60s-70s engineers a few kilos of coke and tell them to make concepts and mockups. you end up with one or two feasible concepts and an inventory of drawings with specifications jotted out in ilegible handwriting. not really a shock for the opposition by the way.

[@hughmungus5033]

​@valeriezorn9420 the B58 actually was in service though.

[@spazzey0]

@@hughmungus5033 the op stated "impress the other side" not "never saw service" neither the B70 nor B58 had much more of an effect other than forcing the USSR to adapt.

[@hughmungus5033]

@@spazzey0 The B58 wasn't just made to impress the other side. It added a capability the USAF thought they needed at the time in order to penetrate Soviet air defenses. At the time the best way to do this was speed, and either extremely low or extremely high altitudes. That is why the U-2 flew so high. The B-58 was made to fly higher and fast enough to avoid Soviet interceptors before the introduction of high altitude SAMs.

he already did something like this on the lifting body aircraft video

[@thehornedserpent]

@@prato_That’s a lifting body, not a flying wing. While the fuselage is technically a wing on both designs, a flying wing is basically just the wings of an aircraft without a fuselage or other non-wing features. A lifting body is using the fuselage as a wing.

That flop at 7:50 is just pure gold

[@willstevenson4843]

Dude, I built something very similar (exactly the same concept, tri-tiltrotor with the same configuration) in KSP1 a few weeks ago. I couldn't get the robotics to cooperate but I felt confident in the design so I'm glad to see a variant in action. Nice work!

[@thearkmecha4637]

you were worried about stability on the plane already, and then you added forward swept wings? you doubled down on instability and I respect it

[@TeenWithACarrotIDK]

How dare you think something as feeble as “worry” would stop this man.

i would love to see one of those synchrocopters or whatever they are called. or your take on a chinook troop transport style vehicle. love the prototype look of this one and it gave me a bunch of cursed vtol ideas.

Excellent work! I'd love to See a Heavily Armed 4-engined Supersonic bomber Based around the SR-71

[@ejbmxandvlogs2805]

It's definitely one of the aircraft of all time... jk, I think that it's somthing the navy really would have considered engineering in the late 70s earlier 80s. But it seemed to function really well! Great video as always man! Love ya Messier!

[@MystereNova]

I'd imagine a flameout during landing or takeoff would make for a significant emotional event

[@startourzdcs]

No matter what kind of content you make ill keep watching it, but this was especially great

[@Skystrike1535]

Yeah this is 100% a mid cold war era x-plane. It is comprised entirely of duck tape, paracord, and sheer middle finger energy. It exists for no other reason than to spend that excess tax money so they can get the same amount to play with next year. It does not care what you think, who you are, or what you do, it will single out your house out of spite and its deeply personal vendetta against you personally, then crash directly into your bedroom. I love. On a more serious note, the only reason why this design is that unstable in VTOL mode is the lack of a fly by wire system to balance the thrust of the engines. Ok maybe not the *only* reason but its the main reason.

[@dale0677]

7:49, this part broke me hahahahaahha

[@messier82ac]

There is a dedicated gif of just this part on my server since everyone found it so funny

[@RTPJu]

Just look like a good anime's jet. Maybe your best design so far

[@cultured5147]

This somehow reminds me of Dornier Do-31, with its huge engines for upward thrust.

[@meloncollector8274]

If you decide to make another vtol aircraft could you consider a design similar to the AV-42C

[@AkiUwUx3]

Or he should make a AV-8 Harrier inspired VTOL when proper VTOL nozzles and parts get put in the game

[@milesmcallister8542]

[@Ilovemyidi]

Messier manages to make even the most absurd builds look relatively good

[@obamabinladenblair1509]

This is a really cool design. Maybe you could add some lights to the cockpit just to add a little detail.

[@yourtechweekeveryweek6321]

I like the live recording a lot better tbh, it feels like I’m getting more of your reaction to the design rather than afterthoughts.

[@elixer4583]

It’s beautiful. It looks almost like an X-wing from Star Wars. This makes me wonder what could be done if you took the main design elements of an X-wing or another movie plane and tried to implement it into a (somewhat) functional aircraft in FlyOut? PS. Thank you for NOT telling us about future updates.

[@Cythil]

That is such a Kerbal aircraft, I love it! I have wanted to make a VTOL aircraft with a tri or quad setup. But... Especially after seeing this I will go with thrust vectoring like I planned from the start. Though who knows. Maybe I will give it a try and make my own version.

[@gearandalthefirst7027]

Those rear landing gear had me WHEEZING, honestly pretty cool looking design though, surprisingly sleek in the forwards-flight mode

[@nothingtoseehere1221]

This thing is so cutsed I love it. In real life, all of the forces from maneuvering is placed on the wings and I wont be surprised if pulling up slightly shears them off the fuselage.

[@IGoBrrrt173]

I love the look of this plane, it really looks like a cold war type wacky prototype and I love it.

[@okl0001]

It would be interesting to see how fast you can go with just propellers

[@ospreyau2759]

Playing around with vtol ideas. And considering you now have experience. A Osprey inspired Vtol would be unreal, and might also fit into some of that "no jet engine" world building that is a gem to read and progress through BTW. Would also be very interesting to see if you've got the creative nature to build differently to that v22 design, or if efficiency bites the bullet and brings you back 1:1 with the v22 Frame. Otherwise love the videos, your content is a weekly commitment I don't see myself giving up any time soon!!!

[@titan42737]

You are so good at everything aircraft related

[@Impetus-qx5db]

Cool, that's looking elegant. Slim fuselage is nice.

[@spazzey0]

its badass and perfect for a mid to late 60s idea executed in the 70s.

[@nathanielgoff6290]

it would be interesting to see some sort of aircraft with no control surfaces, just completely maneuvered by thrust vectoring.

[@probablyjay3449]

dont know why but the initial test flight sequence (11:22) really makes it look like an f-14

[@party4lifedude]

being able to model proper thrust vectoring like the F-35B or Harrier would be amazing.

Somehow i get Quinjet (from the marvel movies) vibes from this plane it has nothing in common with it maby its the almost KSP jank and vtol. Still one of the best looking planes to date good job.

[@The20sbelike-wwww3]

If you could make and takeoff this crop plane than I'm sure you could do a variable geometry wing like the f-14.

[@something5432]

A pretty interesting design, i really like it, i imagine if is possible to build a blimp in Flyout. could be fun trying. Btw i recommend you to lower the sound of the game a little, it's a little hard to hear you when the engines are screaming.

[@mrcrackerist]

This vehicle reminds me of the "Lunar Landing Research Vehicle" especially with you description...

With all the truble you had turning the engiens it would be cool to see you make a tail sitter :)

[@someweeb3650]

Here's a challenge: make an aircraft using the smallest of every type of engine. Do whatever you think is the most quintessential representation of whatever the engine is.

[@bobbyschannel349]

I think if you would had put canards in the front...... I think you would have had a little bit more stabilization.. as well as having duct fans in the rear.. ( very similar to your ornithopter design) as opposed to that jet engine.

[@trodat07]

It reminds me a lot of an overcomplicated VTOL I recently posted on r/imaginary aviation. Almost the same engine and wings configuration.

[@JonarusDraconius]

Drop the "V-TOL" part of the design and this looks like an awesome "Engine tester" aircraft - Something designed to be able to have the engine nacelles take off easily, so different engines could be swapped in/out for testing on a consistant chassis.

[@captainstroon1555]

This thing reminds me a lot of the boxwing VTOL SSTO spaceplane I came up with for my webcomic

[@danilooliveira6580]

this actually makes me think more about the Osprey than Harrier, just with jet engines. its actually kinda interesting, but its definitely a design that needs a computer lying it LOL

[@johnruddick686]

You have twice the engine thrust at the front than you have at the back. And the engines need to be equi-distant from the centre of mass to stabilize it.

[@joeylapidus3176]

I hope this gets released before I start school. You should also try making a large cargo Vtol aircraft.

[@Metal_Maoist]

You know, sometimes I look at the aircraft in Warhammer 40k and wonder how the fuck you would get those to fly in real life. Especially with stuff like the T'au or Eldar aircraft that looks just plausible enough that you think it might actually work. I think that might be really fun to try out in Flyout

[@SomeOrdinaryJanitor]

you also could have used the two front engines counter-swiveling for Yaw control. just an idea.

[@LimitlessAir]

The truck is to make the engines lighter while still balancing the thrust to weight ratio of the back thruster

[@IAmTheAce5]

I don’t suppose Flyout will ever model ‘free-wings’ or wings that have free rotation about their chord relative to an aircraft fuselage, such that they can be trimmed for constant AOA?

[@ospreyau2759]

hey i mean tiltjets are still pretty neat so its a win for me edit: you could've gone for an Osprey-style engines at the tip of the wings imo

[@thereoc]

The inverted swept wings were really interesting

[@jennamontreal3639]

the only idea that comes to mind with this idea of setup is the halo pelican... with how they fly, they rotate the entire engine and wing.

I was thinking how to suggest you to build a vtol and a day later, you upload a video of a vtol 😂 I love vtol planes (i wanted to be a harrier pilot, so imagine how much i love them) and have been thinking on a desing myself, maybe it could be worth for a come back to vtols concept: The fuselage would have little rockets on the side to push te plane upwards, making it a kind of vertical rato and short landing capable, but i haven't find a way to a proper static manouvering sistem to stavilice the plane while the taking off
