Which Planes Can Take Off, Fly & Land With Just One Wing? | DCS

[@DeceasedUser]

12:55 cap dying from laughter makes this video worth watching over and over again.

[@Robert-pl1gd]

OMG He sounds worse than me and I've been smoking for 30 years

[@faria2786]

Absolutely perfect XD

[@NotHonkyTonk]

Cap I'm sorry for your health issues but hearing your laugh to the point of coughing and gagging is peak GR content.

[@slowhornet4802]

I guess the Starfighter would dominate that test... the wings are so tiny that losing one will not make much of a difference.

[@jamesbircham4365]

I think that's one of the reasons the mig21 worked

[@richardmartin8998]

You beat me to it. I mean if the F-104 had been designed with 2 engines I would need convincing that directional control wasn't solely provided by differential thrust alone.

[@robbergerson4915]

Yes! The Grim Reapers, doing GR things, for funnzies. Exactly the mid week needs covered, jokes and all lol. Thanks Cap and Crew!

[@Warlord9000]

Here is the GR content we all know and love. Doing silly things until Cap nearly keels over laughing.

[@nigeldepledge3790]

Thank you, Cap and crew, for making such a valuable contribution to the furthering of aviational science. As a viewington wooington, it makes me feel especially valued. BTW, why did no-one try the F104? Also, props to whichever pilot tried the mozzie. Those things look so damn hard to take off at the best of times, never mind on fire and missing most of one wing. That took some cojones. Or possibly chutzpah. One of those things.

[@ohiobrian8993]

Another good video cap, thanks. My kidney cancer operation went great, and I'm home same day. Robotic surgery is amazing. A bit sore, but sme Tylonol and I'm good. Keep the videos coming. It helps keep my mind occupied and entertained. Should be back to 100% in a week. My best to you and all the team.

[@maxlin3442]

Solo Wing Pixy is requiring your location

[@Kevin-hb7yq]

Valued science is best science.

[@grimreapers]

Yup.

[@DirtyHairy1]

I love the pilot animation when looking back @05:00 "are you done back there?"

[@WyvernFalken]

😂

[@M.H.D.actual]

I immediately clicked on this, I know there will be plenty of interesting shenanigans and knobheadery

[@Nr15121]

Quite right good sir

[@M.H.D.actual]

@Nr15121 did not disappoint, I was rooting for the no-wings A10, needed some rocket boosters!

[@grimreapers]

Knobheadery best headery for sure.

[@shearfury147]

This video hit the spot today! Just what I needed! Thank you!

[@TheWeatherbuff]

"TRIM IT OUT!!" This is great, guys. Thank you for some much needed jollies!!😅

[@jamesyoungquist6923]

"Vertical stabilizers will become wings with sufficient roll and AOA, and vice versa on the remaining wing" - Da Vinci

[@ltdrak]

'Burned up on the runway' - that got a laugh from me. Would attaching ordnance to the remaining wing help with stability, I wonder.

[@TIHIR1]

More Reaper experiments in the name of avaition simulation science! One for the boffins right here! Bravo :)

[@krys5304]

I've missed the kind of science that makes me chuckle ❤️

[@Davros-vi4qg]

Oh this is gonna be fun, some have been done before, but new aircraft 🤪🤣🤣🤣

[@BH-qi9cq]

So glad to see such things carried out in the name of science. 😆

[@matthewcarlson1748]

Eagle probably should be best as it landed with one wing in real life

[@Bawbag68]

0:52 challenging??? More like hilarous 😂🤣🤣

[@LOtarie]

Cap what did you put in yall coffee.

[@God-of-canine]

11:02 Grump flying the Grumman F-14 was smart! Too much lift on the left wing means a spin, and him pulling it back would have helped.

[@HAL_9001]

If I remember right, you and RC had to takeoff and land flaps up. That may explain why to few planes (even the Eagle) struggled to take off.

[@TIHIR1]

My fav qoute so far "Just trim it out" 😝

[@STSKSP]

This is the GR content I live for!

[@APV878]

Well that was interesting. Just at the 17:10 mark when Cap loses connection and resets, my wifi went out for a minute and had to restart youtube.....Enhanced viewing experience

[@nicholasmiller1406]

This. This is what Grim Reapers should be! Love ya

[@julianmustofa4423]

5:00 pilot see in the back: Whe’re good? Yeah you lost your wing Perfect let’s go 😂

[@BoraHorzaGobuchul]

The f-15 doing the Paula Abdul move from hot shots! was great

[@Doodelz02]

Priceless! Well done all. I truly hope the DCS dev team was watching in glee (with suitable alcohol)! "Look look ... just the way we intended it to work!"

[@AirJoe]

Ground crew: "Sir there are no push back tugs and you don't have reverse thrust." Pilot:"No problem!" 26:29

[@bobmcguirk7272]

Awesome video, Cap and boys!!

[@superflyguy4488]

Great TV, i love these kinds of vids. How about, mark out a race track around some mountains or a city, set a ceiling, set tight bends and long straights and have a start line on the runway, first to land back is the winner, not just the fastest accelerating or top speed but also 'cornering', braking and deceleration.

[@sajo3661]

“You lost your right wing”

[@RaymondGrayson-t1x]

It's because the F-15 has a greater than 1 thrust to weight ratio, which is essentially a rocket. It "technically" doesn't need wings to fly.

[@XTXImperator]

Great and amusing video cap! It is interesting to see how the MiG-29 behaved totally different than the SU-27 even though their basic bodyplan is very similar.

[@tomsonlarrson3318]

I feel like this is more a study of a plane's damage model more than flying with one wing

[@TheHarvHR]

2 1/2 mile runway and no one uses the full length. Most intelligent Grim Reapers moment

[@stephaniesloan4707]

The description of Grump’s lovemaking. Keep it up Supercap, best Cap.

[@WyvernFalken]

He was supposed to keep that between just us. 😢

[@jonathangibson9098]

Fun question, does the direction of the turbine(es) spin make a difference as to which wing missing is more survivable?

[@panachevitz]

so this challenge got me thinking: can you independently manage the throttles of the twin engine planes? What I'm thinking is that you would need to goose the right engine higher to compensate for the loss of lift and try to counteract the tenedency to spiral in. This might be more applicable to the wide body aircraft that have a large space between engines versus the narrow body twin engine designs, and obviously the single engine aircraft can't do that at all. Also, can you set trim levels on the remaining wing to try to compensate?

[@haytorrock3312]

So in your presentation to the Royal Areronautical Society, you can say that your conclusion is its probably better to NOT shoot your wing off before takeoff. And thats SCIENCE, ladies and gentlemen.

[@FleetDefenderRA5]

That was great! Thank you! Idea: can you simulate a dead-stick landing?

[@louisredelinghuys2681]

You guys have made my day!!!

[@speedyham545]

Now I want to see someone build a plane with a high wing on one side and a low wing on the other.

[@Ducatti20]

13:01 Cap dies

[@Decrepit_biker]

Try the bog with the remaining wing folded up? Maybe it'll balance? Edit. Good thinking Dark.😂

[@teggy689]

This test also really said a lot about the damage models...

[@renato892-j4i]

Great video! Very funny! hahaha! I think that if an F-15 did it, maybe Mig25-31could do it, but sadly we don't have them.

[@kencreten7308]

Simba/F-15 takeoff got a "that was awesome!" out of me.

[@Doc_Roe]

Poor Caps lungs cant handle all this hilariousness 🤣🤣

[@Robert-pl1gd]

you should do the sr-71 with both outer wings gone. This was quite amusing to watch.

[@James31USFPoly]

Hahahahah Cap:“Fly?…Grump.” Grump: “Fly?😂”

[@iainriley617]

Cap, I love what you all do great team. I have recommended Niko's from the Ted Coningsby aviation site they are a family friendly aviation site based near you( very near you lol), that film everything that fly's and try to interest others but do a lot for air charity's as well . But it's hard for them to explain cabin layouts and weapons uses in the open YT feed live + no discussion on possible op,s . But between the historical fights you do in all age planes would be an excellent tie in as you can explain tactics, weapon's etc but they might not only be able to help sell your mertch and visa versa . But beside that both site's are a match made in heaven and they do discord as well for the more open discussion's all ages and lot's of ex-world services . As I said to Niko's rabid airpower fan and owner, commentary and cameraman to try and get in touch with you as you both live in the same area . I also think you should try reaching out to him too. I think not only to add both sites but you all seem to have a lot in common and both educate us as well as adding humour. Regads. Reapers . Iain

[@CLAPGriffin]

Yay! I thought this would be fun 😂😂🤣🤣

[@SmithandWesson22A]

You have launched a Hornet from a carrier using a catapult, with the wings folded.

[@zacshaheen8286]

I did this once after a mission with the F-15E because im terrible at evading missiles

[@KristyMurray-s9n]

"Im getting a bigger gun." Cap, welcome to America😂

[@grimreapers]

lols indeed.

[@NAND-Solution]

I cant wait to get a Joystick/Hotas again and start playing some DCS.

[@bengelman2600]

Important science. Love to see it!

[@jameslarson319]

The cough laughing is something I feel SO HARD right now. We share the suffering

[@edwardsarty9572]

Great video.

[@jimreynolds2837]

Would only using the engine on the side of the clipped wing help? And Super Hornet has a very large leading edge extension that could help and do better than the legacy Hornet.

[@mpeugeot]

LMFAO, haven't watched yet, but I know that it's going to be epic.

[@AirJoe]

12:52 * insert maniacle coughing laugh*

[@darrenjones3681]

An F15 has definitely been landed safely with a missing wing

[@MattWaller04]

Proper GR fun

[@davethemofo]

that comment of 'do it' at 22:24 was evil!! 🤣

[@SuperAd1980]

This looked surprisingly similar to the take-offs on the Dune campaign episode 1.

[@SuperAd1980]

Harkonnen rule. ❤ The Baron

[@TheStormpilgrim]

One wing and one wing only, please.

[@gcwyatt]

Such Science. Much Data.

[@rubiconnn]

I knew there was zero chance the A10 would fly with part of it's wing missing. Everyone parrots incorrect facts about the A10 because it's wildly overhyped.

[@APV878]

what about trying to fly aircraft with one rudder that normally have 2. Although there's not many to choose from.... A-10, F-14, F-15, etc

[@vortecmacs]

Tomcat should have had the wing forward.

[@AEFisch]

A lot of time you put the flap down on one wing. Doesn't that make it roll over on takeoff as even more lift is on one side Maybe the opposite?

[@DirtyHairy1]

I have to clip out cap's coal miner cough and use it as a meme or soundboard item

[@grimreapers]

I got the black lung pa!

[@BoraHorzaGobuchul]

Now do it with an SR-71

[@scottgalbraith7461]

Didn't that happen irl to an A-10?

[@ivorharden]

Where was the Eurofighter?

[@creepercrepe8910]

sephiroth

[@herrzimm]

Also, the reason that the F-15 was able to deal with loosing a wing is that it had already taken off. It had the elevation needed in order to adjust to the controls. So, trying to take off that way was going to be basically impossible to begin with. The attempt to take off would INSTANTLY counter the elevation needed to adjust the craft's ability to flight controls. In short, going up to get off the runway just kills chance of counter the roll/yaw needed.

[@orsonincharge4879]

is the answer none ? or just realism ?

[@paitis14]

18:02 Eagle II or UAP??

[@john-paulsurrall9099]

Hey Cap what's the name of the book you have been reading on submarines. ?

[@grimreapers]

Down to the sea in submarines. By Dan someone.

[@john-paulsurrall9099]

@grimreapers thank you !

[@joshuaarreola5813]

It would be a cool video if. We all know the numbers on paper for specs on everyone's tech is always lower than released to the public now they let is how much in percentage stronger are they really like for example sm2 has a range of 100 miles on paper what if it's actually range was let's say 33% more powerful so instead of 100 miles it's 133 miles but apply that to everything if it's possible but it would be cool to make a guess at the percentage and try em out

[@EscCtrl4452]

Thanks Cap omg

[@Ruffs949]

Do you remember philip

[@simonbrandes3593]

B2 only flies with one wing, easy.

[@mdu2112]

Accelerates like shit off a shovel! 😂

[@TheStormpilgrim]

Sounds like something you'd hear on The Grand Tour before they drive something around the Eboladrome.

[@ddddddddd574]

33:58 Cap; "talk us threw what you've done dark". Dark; "taken the fuel out (*activates voice fry) jhcjbscjbwfkwbfklliqmd'klms;lvnewluqkfnq;wnd;lin;ckn;reqilngfu;nliwnfc;kjn;jksn,k.wan".........

[@Bitparto]

Cap.. All the cigar (single engine) aircraft rolled to the right .. Do you think the torque from the engine contributed? What happens if you shoot the left wing off. Will the engine help balance the plane.. We need more excellent science!!

[@Gry101]

How about the next video being which carrier born aircraft with folding wings can take-off with the wings folded. No F-14 though, that is cheating. F-18, F-4, F-4U, F-6F, F4F, etc.

[@YlmazDALKIRANscallion]

But Israeli pilot did it in real. 😳 Why DCS? Whyyyyyyyyy?

[@janicmeier1]

I think the flaps are a a problem whit 1 wing

[@mpeugeot]

Too bad there's no F-111.

[@BoraHorzaGobuchul]

Or me163

[@jansenart0]

THIS is more like it! Reality-adjacent ludicrous DCS nonsense!

[@gunzelloharris3348]

Sillyzzz!!! LMAO!!🤪🤣😂

[@kitsune_legion]

insane hahaha
