Wouldnt be suprised if lockheed or boeing has a fleet of vertibirds with fully functional xo1 power armor in them just for looks

[@Jan_Strzelecki]

Couple of corrections: 4:54 - that Vertibird is not an official design. It's a cargo Vertibird drawn by a Gray-Skull. 7:40 - Just because those Stingrays are next to the Sea of Tranquility section doesn't mean they actually belong to that section. Elsewhere in the same mural we have biplanes next to the four-turreted USS Missouri and a Minuteman in front of the WW1 era tank.

[@AceOfBlackjack]

UnOfficial redraw of concept art*

[@hokutoulrik7345]

So, they got the hull number wrong, but it should be USS Montana, which would have been BB-67 if the class wasn't canceled. Or it could have been her sister ship, USS Ohio BB-68.

[@StofenThe1st]

Man if you want a series that focuses on kooky planes based off of real designs you should look up stuff for Crimson Skies and Skycrawlers. Crimson Skies is a dieselpunk world set in the 1930s after America got balkanized and is almost entirely focused on being air pirates with zeppelins. Meanwhile the Skycrawlers is a novel/anime series where conventional war has ended and been replaced with PMCs getting hired to settle disputes with aerial dogfights. Crimson Skies is more American designs while Sky Crawlers is there for the Japanese side of things.

[@seanmccann8368]

Crimson Skies is a wonderful game, my now thirtysomething sons had endless fun playing it in the old days. Beautiful airships bristling with machinegun positions and being attacked by fighters.

[@ethansmith634]

Agreed! Amazing game

[@tylerhobbs7653]

Skycrawlers lives in my head rent-free. My dad got it from Redbox when my brother and I were prolly waaaay too young to watch it, but to this day I remember loving that movie!

[@jlac47]

The Sky Crawlers also had a game on the Wii. I think it was set sometime before the anime.

[@thumb-ugly7518]

The MC’s Plane in Crimson Skies was such a great design. All the elements of a biplane rearranged like an X-wing, with the vertical stabilizers doubling as fixed rear landing gear. Truly a great plane.

[@sabre_phoenix5996]

YES DUDE, bring one the fictional stuff! And as an Ace Combat fan, I am putting my vote up for the world of Strangereal! You could have an episode dedicated to Gründer Industries alone!

[@Biotear]

HELL YES NOW IMAGINE TOUCHING ON STONEHENGE

[@ApothecaryTerry]

Not sure if Ace Combat would be as popular, especially at the moment, but AC8 is due...eventually, so whenever that is, a video on the series surely has to be worth doing! AC is worth a few videos too, since you've got the prototypes and variants of real planes (some of which have been on the channel of course), the weapons for regular planes (like the lasers), the fictional prototype planes (X-02, CFA-44, ADF-01, etc) and of course the big beasts like the Arkbird, Arsenal Bird, P-1112, and more. Plus drones of course. Loads of interesting stuff in there!

[@sabre_phoenix5996]

@@ApothecaryTerry I respectfully disagree. People perk up and pay attention in these niche spaces when ace combat is brought up. If this were a more generic channel with a bunch of normies, I'd agree with you. But with the audience that F&I had cultivated, I think the video should do well regardless of ac8 being out or not. Plus, that's gonna be a while. We don't even have an announcement trailer or anything, just a green light and knowledge it is in production.

i like how he handwaves northrop flying wings after mentioning the america bomber, that wasnt a flying wing, and the ho 229. you can almost sense the approval and disdain in his voice. "as well as northrops attempts......" like seriously dude

[@imperialmodelworks8473]

The Horten brothers did have designs on the drawing board for extremely large flying wing bombers that woukd have (allegedly) had the range to make it to America. It wasn't just Messerachmitt, Focke-Wulf, and B&V that had a hat in that ring.

[@egoalter1276]

Whats even more odd, is that the flying wings that actually made it to serial production by Junkers and Kalinin are not mentioned at all.

[@neptunium2378]

he was probably referring to the Horten HoXVIII but yea not the amerikabomber

[@user-jc1cf9vs8s]

Yeah, and with absolutely no mention of the F117, B2 or B21 projects, which are, or were, operational. He completely removes Jack Northrop's entire additions to aerospace. Sure, flying wings weren't his idea, but nor were they first thought of by the Nazis. It would have been much better if he just stated flying wing, or actually operational projects.

[@sookendestroy1]

The idea of those passenger planes being able to fly for ages makes for a funny idea, a flight of people who managed to survive the bombing, rarely if ever landing and those who stayed aboard turning them into self sufficient environments. Would make for a super cool set piece in a fallout game set within the first 100 years after the war.

[@mikesmnell414]

They have nets hanging from the landing gear to catch and eat radioactive birds, and get their water through recycled urine, radioactive cloud water, and blood. They eat people who put the plane at an imbalance aka undesirables, the elderly, the disabled, and those that were unfortunate enough to be born during an excess of people. Snow-piercer 2.0.

[@mikesmnell414]

Society would function like a vault.

[@titanhunter1554]

Like the snowpiercer but as a plane. (The snow piercer is a fictional train which travels around the world after climate manipulation failed and turned the earth into a ice desert. The train has micro biomes, a fish tank, a cow farm and farms, basically a city in a gigantic train)

[@Its_Me_Romano]

Most if not all planes crashed after the emp blast that came after the nukes. Its even stated in fallout 4 itself

[@MadMattH]

They would have all become ghouls eventually due to the radiation.

[@omegavalwin]

Im so happy you show the different Virtibirds as some people think the ones in 4 are the ones from 3. but they are different models

[@longtsun8286]

The US Navy did fly a variant of the Lockheed P-80 from its decks: the T2V SeaStar trainer, later redesignated "T-1A." No folding wings, though.

[@TK199999]

FYI, the Fallout Vertibirds are tilt wing craft, meaning their engines and wings tilt up. While the US currently uses tilt engine/rotator designs in the Osprey and soon to be deployed Valor. Meaning only the engines/rotators tilt up and down the wings stay fixed.

[@joefish6091]

The Tula flying boat in GTAV has tilt wing, a rather silly looking aircraft with four enormous engines (it would look better with two like a Catalina). The Osprey clone the Avenger is tilt engine.

[@errantalgae]

the Valor has tilt rotor the engines do not move, the magic of learning you can do stuff with driveshafts instead of moving the whole engine

[@gaspy2458]

[@senatuspopulusqueromanus2082]

[@tjh44961]

Grumman made the F9F Panther, which was basically a P-80 with just a couple changes to the shape of the airframe and folding wings. I know they were not made by the same manufacturer, but they were very, very similar.

I've been a huge fan of exploring Fallout's prewar stuff in-game. And as an aviation enthusiast, I remember spending hours just examining the P80-like jet at the carrier in F3, and looking at the Vertibird's propeller in F4. I always loved this about Fallout, that the imagination from the game is clearly inspired on crazy, cold war designs, particularly from the soviets. Fallout planes make me think if the Ekranoplan and all those retro futuristic ideas.

[@pseudotasuki]

0:10 Fusion!

[@Rigel_Chiokis]

The vertibird is formidable, true. Except in Fallout 4 wher the Brotherhood will use a vertibird to attack someone and in a minute or less it is shot out of the sky. They hardly ever survive. Also, they always go towards the player while crashing. The cargo plane does not have a high wing. The wing root is at the bottom of the fuselage, which makes it a low wing, but it does appear to have some dihedral which would give it stability. A high wing would be rooted at the top of the fuselage.

[@emaheiwa8174]

Gives me Hope for an Ace Combat video ❤😎

[@Allegheny500]

Most of the real life designs for these vehicles were abandoned for a reason and a few were just impractical. All fallout vehicles would be fusion and not fission due to the enormous weight of shielding required for fission. See project Pluto for details. The brotherhoods air ship lacks sufficient hydrogen bags to lift it, even if its "armor" is merely Kevlar and carbon fiber. The Vertibirds and the large passenger plane are the most realistic given a fusion bottle instead of Aviation gas for fuel.

[@Yomotomen]

They’re likely fission because fusion and by proxy cold fusion was only really unlocked right before the war, including power armor as well. Instead, i reckon they found a solution around the shielding problem because they had such reactors in cars, if they had them in airliners as well, they likely found some way around it, fallout radiation does work differently from real lifes anyways

[@yobeefjerky42]

Fusion has the same radiation concerns as fission, lol, even worse in most instances because it's neutron radiation, which is notoriously difficult to shield against.

[@Allegheny500]

@@Yomotomen The problem with that is the Power armor was in use for a long enough time to go through several different models all powered by a fusion core. And you really really need to read about project Pluto, which was a real life project to design a nuclear powered aircraft.

[@Yomotomen]

@@Allegheny500 yes because while fusion cores found quick military implementation, the time for civilian implementation was delayed and too late, dude, it’s a game, you’re looking too far into it

[@Allegheny500]

@@yobeefjerky42 Most of the papers I've read regarding fusion experiments don't support this as the neutrons are being fused into heavier elements.

[@TheMalootrager]

Chinese bomber is most likely heavily inspired by Kalinin k-7 - soviet pre-WW2 design that apparently flew.

[@BJR1st]

Further to the passenger jet designs: the Fireflash airline from Thunderbirds also featured seating in the wings with big windows, and a nuclear reactor. They even mention in one episode that they can loiter in the air practically forever, but that the reactor shielding needs to be maintained every few hours or else the occupants are exposed to lethal radiation levels

[@freddjie3097]

Also both the Yangtze and USS Democracy would be an interesting additions

[@peerschulz2029]

For the F-80 not being used as a carrier aircraft: the Navy did conider using them and actually tested them on USS Roosevelt (they were refitted with a tailhook and stronger landing gear). They also equiped 2 squadrones with them: VF-52 and VFM-311. For the Navy not aquireing them: it's pretty easy. Lockheed back then just wasn't a major fighter-supplier for the Navy. Branches were pretty segregated in terms of companies they bought from. The Navy often ordered from Vought, McDonell or Grumman. Another fact is that the F-80 wasn't a purpose-built carrier-plane, since Lockheed ath this point in time had absolutely 0 experience building navy-planes. Since the P-59 the Navy had their own fighterjets in development and once the F-80 arrived they already had more suitable aircraft ready, namely the McDonell FH-1 Phantom (no, not the F-4, but a predessesorand her namesake). The Phantom and refitted F-80s were close in performance BUT the Phantom had 2 engines, better slow-speed handeling and a superior landing-gear from the get-go, since she was always meant to be a carrier-fighter

[@Inset_tomato]

I really liked this videos, you should do more fictional aviation videos

Idea: A very rich individual who for whatever reason didnt trust bunkers. They instead loaded a Jetliner (radiation shielding on the engines of course) with around 150 people as well as the equipment necessary to detect nukes as well as survive for many generations. They would simply fly to parts of the world that wernt actively being nuked and managed to keep going until X time. Then disaster strikes! They get shot down and there are only a few survivors! The most important survivor being the co-pilot(possibly next in line to be "leader"), who is the player and now they must survive on land. Their main options being: Take over a vault, Live on the surface, Find fix and outfit a new Jetliner (or smaller plane) to survive on.

[@JIMJAMSC]

As someone who would get really excited and spent a LOT of time exploring every inch of a discovered aircraft wreckage this video is greatly appreciated.

[@cyril-rr2jk]

Why the P-80 was never carrier-based: the jet engine was already pushing technical limits, the long nose would have made carrier landings difficult ( the prop-driven F4U Corsair had this issue ), and catapult technology for carriers hadn't been developed yet. I always thought of the Panther fighters as being the closest to a navalized version of the P-80 concept. Also, that "B-52" from the museum is actually a B-29.

[@redvoco02]

Fallout's carrier based Lockheed P-80 isnt too much of a stretch. The Navy did consider the P-80 and Lockheed developed the carrier capable TV-2 & T2V-1 trainer versions of the P-80, which were used by the Navy for a short time. In an _alternate_ _universe_ setting, its not hard to imagine Lockheed winning a major Navy contract and the P-80 being the primary carrier fighter.
