Some of the most interesting planes were churned out during World War 2.

@VikingTeddy 3 ай бұрын

And the best looking jets were from the early cold war, before they had quite figured out the optimal shape. The most scifi looking jets are all from the 50s and early 60s. After that, they start resembling eachother.

Also, it wasnt suited to flying the pacific cause of fuel. Had a very good range with drop tanks. What it lacked was redundency. In a p38 over pacific, you lose an engine, you fly home a little slower. 51 loses an engine, unless youre near an island, youre about to get wet

The information on the Stratolaunch is by now outdated. After the death of the owner in '19, they no longer pursue rocket launching. They've instead been used as a launcher for the Talon-A. So I guess it's better to delay a video than accidentally post outdated facts. We're in no hurry. Quality over quantity is why we're here 😊

You need to see " The Wing Will Fly" a Documentary of Jack Northrop's Flying Wing concept. Pay special attention to test pilot Cardinas who refused to do stall tests because power stalls of the airframe type can cause a spin that causes the plane to rotate along the long axis of the 172 ft wing at an rpm rate that will pin the pilot to the seat making it impossible to raise his arms due to.them being pinned to the seat by centrifical force. Cardinias recovered the spin because the spin he was in was in the opposite direction and his arms were forced AWAY from the pilot seat, whereas Glen Edward's arms were forced INTO the pilot's seat. Also, it was said Edward's co-pilot was flying it at the time.

@jgar611 3 ай бұрын

Oh, yes. I forgot to mention that due to the shape of the YB49 the ENTIRE AIRFRAME WAS INVISIBLE TO THE RADARS OF THE DAY. This airframe design shape is naturally INCREDIBLY STEALTHY. Duplication by the USSR in the 1960's would have destabilized the Cold War. In other words, without modern radar, and with the Norton bombsight stabilizer Northrop devised, this bomber could have delivered Nuclear Weapons into the USSR with NO advance detection. Thus, it had to be NOT developed. The USSR had to be convinced that the airframe was NOT successful. Three reason why this fuselage design not used on commercial airliners today it's because it would be impossible for air traffic controllers to know where they were at. If not impossible, it would be very difficult to keep track of them.

A smarter idea for the hopping tank would be to keep the entire chassis and add an omnidirectional "ball wheel" embedded underneath where the leg would go with large freely moving tracks or wheels recessed into the bottom that automatically rotate in the direction of travel to provide stability and lower ground pressure.

Like many military aviation nerds I love the P-51 mustang. As for the twin mustang I have always been extremely confused by it. It would make a little more sense if they took two mustangs and simply stuck them together but these planes were built from the ground up. It would seem to me if you're going to do that then an original design would probably serve you better for a twin boom aircraft.

*Important message - not doomer.* More first responders have died since 9/11 due to complications and lung problems than people that actually died in the attacks. My mom was a first responder. Her lungs were destroyed by the continuous dust and burning. She was working for a long time, I think a week or two, maybe more, recovering and identifying the victims and bodies to tally them and return them to their families. She doesn't receive proper support from the government and has absurd insurance rates, as do many others (firefighters, EMTs, and just volunteers) They only gave her a mask rated to filter for 2 hours, so almost everyone ended up working without them - as obviously, there was no plan or preparation. Please, show appreciation for first responders. Thank them, vote for funds and medical care for them, etc. - whatever you can do. They are the forgotten victims of 9/11, and more are lost each day. Show kindness to those that lay down their lives, not just to gunfire, but to a life of suffering, for the well-being of the United States. She doesn't regret it. I doubt a single person there did or ever will. If she had the option, she would go again, a hundred times over. I know not many people can do much, but please remember and treasure these people. Spread that kindness.

There is no mention here of the fact that the biggest problem with Northrop's flying wing was its stability in the air due to the lack of any vertical rudders and stabilizers. This was compensated only in the era of computers and advanced electronics, resulting in the B2 strategic bomber. This does not change the fact that the entire program looks like a highly suspicious fight for military contracts based on unfair competition and lobbying. The victim of which was one of the most talented aircraft engineers of that period...
