Flight of the Future - Science Fiction or Reality

Subscribe to Naked Science - goo.gl/wpc2Q1
Every other Wednesday we present a new video, so join us to see the truth laid bare...
In the not too distant future strange craft will zoom across our skies. These are not UFOs, they’re not alien craft from another planet, these are machines developed and built by human engineers and designers. Today’s science fiction will become tomorrow’s reality. These are the aircraft of the future!
What you’re about to see is a glimpse into the future of aviation. Winged aircraft as we know them will soon be a thing of the past. Across the world designers are racing to create fantastic new aircraft that can fly humans higher, faster, and further than ever before. New military designs, airliners that can take us to the edge of space and around the planet in minutes, and new propulsion systems that will make the jet engine obsolete forever.
One casualty of this race for the future sits abandoned on an airfield, this fighter was more advanced than aircraft in service, but was already obsolete. It was the loser in the engineering competition of the century. In 1985 the United States Air Force demanded a new fighter plane, one that would incorporate the most up-to-date advances in stealth and agility. Two multibillion dollar designs by rival companies took to the air in a fight to the death. One was the Northrop YF-23, it had diamond shaped wings. The other was the Lockheed YF-22. The winner would become the backbone of the US Air Force, the loser a billion dollar pile of scrap.
A fierce fight was about to take place between the two most advanced fighter aircraft ever built. The test pilots fought to outperform each other. But after the YF-23’s wheels touched the ground it never flew again. With its greater performance and agility, the YF-22 was chosen to take the US Air Force into the next millennium. It is a truly remarkable craft, it is able to reach speeds and perform manoeuvres far beyond that of the front line fighter of the time, the McDonnell Douglas F-15 Eagle.

The next barrier to conquer is the creation, development, and the advancement of technology. Manipulating the field of gravity and creating a mobile liquid or multiple fields using the planet's poles polarities. The possibilities exist.

[@Tony-hs8mu]

First, what distrubes the gravitational field, that may be a part of the equation. On the atomic level the super conductors the atomic the electrons are slowed down it likely it may be the strength of the field be come much weaker. Frequency may be a way to control the fields. The structure and frame will need to be quite different composites of light gauges of metal or plastics. Frequencies are a part and active at base level of the atomic level and could distort create a warp tunnel that would need a containment field or fields. The Philadelphia experiment (if it was a real event would have something information that could be used.

It is hard to believe how advanced we've become since the day at Kittyhawk. I worked in military aviation back in the day and saw the Navy Tomcat through the f-18 Fighter. However, once in that world, one can't escape the notions of military aircraft of the present and to the future. I have a lot of respect for the various contractors such as Grumman, Lockheed, Pratt & Whitey, etc., and the results of Skunkworks, yet, I also share the same respect for the Russians too. In fact, I've often noticed some "experts" we find on the net appear to be too loyal to our accomplishments and are quite vocal with their opinions that only the West is capable to designing and producing mind-blowing technology to rule the skies. The Su-37's thrust vectoring capabilities and the use of canards along with the speed of the aircraft may be the ultimate answer our designers dread and keep the lights on all night at the White House. However, only time will answer the plethora of questions involved. Bur, these videos that illustrate the virtues of the Su-37, just in maneuvering capabilities alone, is enough for me to question our capabilities to counter the threat associated with this aircraft. Due to the fact I left the military years ago, I may not have enough information that only hands-on experience can explain. Yet, I know there are many veterans out there that do. Therefore, I wish this to be only a moment to learn and not debate with angry super-hero type patriots drunk on ignorance of recent recipes of Kool=Aid. One question alone is worthy to discuss and that is: "has American aircraft manufacturers reached that level of maneuvering and agility talent and possibly achieved better?" Or, "does the F-22 Raptor and the F-35 meet and or exceeds such capabilities or are we banking on better avionics and weapon systems with the aid of stealth to prevail? I think these are questions that are fair after watching t6he Su-37. I assume our aircraft share if not exceed what I witnessed, but I need verification. However, I'm amazed by their recent achievements and it was a pleasure to watch it. Also, don't assume I won't seek and or research this myself. In fact, I will be looking for videos of our aircraft doing the same feats. But, again, I'm thrilled by the recent technology and I often wonder if we will, in time, be able to do everything we can imagine.

Made in 1998 - the Sukhoi Su-37 it gets so orgasmic about was a single prototype that crashed in 2002. The consensus was that, although it was hyper-manouverable, in reality it wouldn't do well in dog-fights. No further versions were built or flown.

Science fiction author and engineer Jerry Pournelle presented a article about what he termed a Laser Launching System about 40 years ago in a science fiction magazine. I believe the magazine was either Astounding or Amazing. Pournelle's concept was of a cargo/passenger module that was launched on a inclined rail system using a laser to heat water to extreme pressures at the back of the launch module to provide the reaction mass to boost to orbit. This is not a new idea.

[@TheHallucinati]

Inaccurate. Leaked Concorde plans had no impact on TU-144 design according to encyclopaedic data (Wiki). TU 144 had a different engine and wing configuration than Concord despite the two planes looking similar from afar. Furthermore - there was nothing "faulty" about TU 144. It's main problem was the short distance it was able to travel. Soviets had to improve the design to match Concorde's distance, and they did. Why the TU-144 crashed at Le Bourge is not clear to this day. Some sources suggest the pilots turned on a new untested fly-by-wire system (which had to remain in non-operational mode during all flights). The last words of the pilot as the delegation entered the plane's cockpit were: "if we're going to die at least we die together", suggesting he knew of some danger factor that he chose to conceal. Another possible factor is that seconds before the crash the pilot may have been startled by the French Mirage plane. The French were interested in TU-144 winglets, Mirage's pilot's assignment was to film the winglets unfolding up close.

[@charrua007]

The real breakthrough that will make the difference and will make flying indefinitely safer is antigravitational technology. As long as flying is based on aerodynamics the forces keeping aircrafts in the air will need to keep a very delicate balance and disaster will occur when that balance is broken

The laser light cone shaped craft looks like something from the Lost In Space or Buck Rogers shows. Maybe there is a way (depending on the actual mechanics of the device) to build a craft that contains the laser creating device located below the push plate to make it a self contained propulsion unit instead of having the laser creating device ground based.

[@thomasashe2681]

In order to do this it would be great if the laser device was as small and lightweight as a laser pointer or flashlight but powerful enough to propel a craft with a few people and there property (1000 pounds) while using very little power.

Actually, there are aircraft in the inventory today that can do it in 2 hrs, and for that trip, I'd be flexible, two hours from Miami to Seattle is OK, and they can do it at sea level. All I need to do is get ahold of an F-15 it can make the trip in 2.03 hours, at 1650 mph.

Altitude is added safety. More time to glide, more options.

@@jonweiss4223 Bullshit. F-15 is well under 1000 mph at sea level. It makes no sense to feel safer at lower altitude. Altitude is a pilots best friend when something goes wrong.

I remember this program when it first aired twenty three years ago. It shows the power that designers, marketeers and spin doctors have in 'showing the future'. None of these projects have matured and most have been cancelled in the intervening years. One day these people will get in touch with reality. In the mean time, If you want to know what the future holds, just ask an engineer instead of a scientist, you will get a non committal answer but it will be honest and will most likely come to pass.

[@9HighFlyer9]

[@Davidsavage8008]

🎉by 1995 I was working for Lockheed when they were going broke bidding on the f22 and was stopped from buying Northrop Grumman. They wanted 2 birds .

[@javamanV3]

What was omitted from mention was that the pilot of the M2F2 was worried about a helicopter chase plane that he felt was too close during landing- the actual crash was caused by the pilot making a radical maneuver to avoid the helicopter, causing the M2 to roll violently and become uncontrollable. I attended a briefing from the pilots of the M2F2 and the HL10 with films of their flight. and worked at Northrop, the company that built these craft. The group I worked in was very involved in Space Shuttle research. In the film makers defense, the helicopter story may not have been general knowledge at that time.

A bit inaccurate guys, come on. Hans von Ohain of Germany was the designer of the first operational jet engine, though credit for the invention of the jet engine went to Great Britain's Frank Whittle. Whittle, who registered a patent for the turbojet engine in 1930, received that recognition but did not perform a flight test until 1941.

I'm so glad the SU-37 was mentioned.. Since the fabled Su-57 has taken its place (Ha, Ha...Fabled!) the prediction that it would smother US Fighters was a bit pre-mature. While flying in an airshow in December 2002 while performing a high stress, high G maneuver, the pilot lost control as the aircraft came apart and disintegrated around him due to structural failure. The pilot ejected safely and survived. The SOLE aircraft crashed in a tremendous fireball. Despite a report in 1998 which claimed that Sukhoi had built a second Su-37 using the twelfth Su-27M airframe,[ THE ELEVENTH Su-27M remained the sole prototype. Sukhoi had instead applied the aircraft's systems to the design bureau's other fighter designs. The Su-37 did not enter production.

Somewhere in The Holy BIBLE says that THERE IS NOTHING NEW UNDER THE SUN. When I was in Africa and India I was Given a tour of some caves by The Monks from a Monastary where my mother enrolled me when she was stationed in India at the United States Embassy. In those caves I saw carvings and paintings of OTHER WORLDLY gravity defying crafts or as one would say Spacecrafts. They were firing beams of lightening at earth. These carvings and paintings went back to before Moses. In Africa I was taken to a SERIES of underwater caves. Man talk about an mindblowing experience. Those caves had paintings of spaceships and an INVASION FORCE just vaporizing the people of earth. Those paintings were made before the time of Noah. Mom and dad were both military doctors and my brothers, sisters and myself traveled with them to their duty stations when permitted. Since our DECENDENTS of our ancestors had contracted my family in South Carolina and told my parents and grandparents an incredible story about they were our family from Africa. Unbelievable! They traced the family from the time that they were taken from Africa by SLAVE SHIPS to Boston and then sold to a family of Russian immigrants who had properties in South Carolina and Alabama and they had tons of money. The Tzar of Russia Alexander was against slavery and ordered that the slave owner free my family. Of course that was impossible because a freed slave was targeted and resold to another Master or killed. That's how I got to go to Africa. In India the Monarchy was up in the Himalayan Mountains. On both continents I had a beautiful experience and I was Given my first dog in India by the Monks which was a Tibetan Masstiff puppy. In Africa I was Given a Rhodesian Ridgeback Puppy. Then dad got assigned to Moscow where I was loved by the Russians. In the caves of Siberia there were paintings and carvings of pre Jesus time of Spaceships and battles between them and the people of earth. At the African University of Timbuktu which the Colonialists are trying to DESTROY, there were manuscripts and paintings with carvings of Interplanetary space battles between earth and beings from another world. You know meeting other people from other places is the best way to get an education. Speaking with older people I have learned so much about history things that they don't even teach in schools or Churches. So please go and explore the world and more importantly TAKE YOUR CHILDREN WITH YOU. Allow yourself and your children to mingle with the OLDER generation. Ask about their history and the stories that were told to them by their parents and grandparents that were passed down by their ancestors. Ask if the places still exist that they told you about. Go and explore for yourself with your children. The most interesting thing that you and your children will learn is that what has been done in the past will be done in their lifetime again. Because truly THERE IS NOTHING NEW UNDER THE SUN. Don't worry about if people think that you are crazy. Because everyone with knowledge is crazy. No one wants to learn the TRUTH.

Magnificent jet fighter machines. I would prefer the vertical takeoff and landing capability that the old Harrier has combined with supersonic combat maneuvers. Concerning flying saucer/ doughnut design, these aircraft will have better cargo handling use for long flights and landing everywhere without the need of large airports and long landing strips. Aircraft manufacturers have the challenge to bring those flying saucer drones to full sized cargo/passenger aircraft. We can bring the future to reality today. Thanks.

What would be fascinating would be a plane capable of moving through the air like a simple bird with flexible dynamic wings, powered by the movement of its own wings against the wind, rather then by trust of an helix or a turbine, that would be a very good field of development for the Artificial Intelligence to be applied on, rather than bringing an automaton to comptience intelligent live, I say that because I see birds fly an their performance in the sky is impressive I have always imagined this kind of maneuverability in a fighter plane

I designed a fighter that can out maneuver any fighter and it has an anti-g force cockpit, fast, but has a extremely low stall speed. The jet engine is turbine-less and can go from zero to scram jet, (hypersonic) quickly. No one understands the engine yet, but I do, and with the material's we have now nothing can compare to it. But hey I'm just a crazy guy. I did give the engine concept to NASA in 2000 and they were pissed and shut me down. I conceived the engine and the entire plane in 1989 - 90. I was following the YF22 and YF23 projects at the time and I thought what if we could ?....
