I built a MASSIVE SEAPLANE in Flyout!

This thing is a titan of the skies, with this being my first ever four engined design. Hope you love it!

I await PatchBits going public. I want my 5% share.

We’re getting even closer the release of flyout and im getting pretty excited!

[@thepenman4865]

Flying boats are still being used and produced, however they are mostly built in small numbers for military applications or firefighting like the Russian Beriev Be-200 or Japanese Shinmaywa US-2, there are plans to reproduce PBY Catalinas using modern avionics and turboprop engines

[@jessegd6306]

I suspect this flying boat is used as described early in the video and in comments: Passenger travel between major cities that feature bodies of water and firefighting against forest fires. My additional takes are that it could be used in novelty tours around a city's airspace and coastline, and Coast Guard duties mostly for search and rescue in times of peace. For wartime usage, it can be utilized for scouting, S&R, liaison, light resupply for allied submarines, anti-submarine and anti-shipping duties, with the additional bonus of being stationed at island bases too small to support a proper full airfield due to it being essentially a boat when parked.

[@nickkurzy2246]

Call it the Beluga since Patch said it takes off like a whale

[@callumwright7459]

If you do revisit this plane in a future video, might I suggest articulated floats, that would fold inwards toward the main hull, and a series of defensive turrets (Chin, Waist and Dorsal). On the other hand, I know you are inundated with build requests in every video, but if a may make a suggestion of my own: In 2018(ish) Lockheed proposed an aircraft to the Japan Air Self-Defense Forces for a Fifth-Gen Multi-role Air superiority fighter. The proposal was, in effect, an updated F22 with features and technology from F35 integrated. My 'challenge' to you is this... build the bastard love-child of 'Raptor' and 'Lightning II', I believe it would be a fun video, as it would be, by far, the most modern aircraft you have built (in a video atleast), and the very nature of being stealth affects the shaping of the aircraft, requiring a substantially different design language than any aircraft you have built before (again, as far as videos are concerned).

[@enclaveheavytrooper9258]

And on the lore for this baby, here's my take: The PBY-9, a seaplane that initially saw production in mid to late 1938, saw relatively little success in the civilian field. However, once the war rolled around, the company that produced the PBY-9 pitched the idea that it could be part of Lend-lease, Being sent mainly to the British and Australians. There, the PBY-9 earned a new name, the Narwhal. The British used it, alongside PBY-3 Catalinas, to great effect during submarine hunting, as well with selective use by the SBS, though they found very limited use out of the heavy and bulky Narwhal. It was the Australians however, that got the most use out of the plane. Mounting a pair of Bofurs forty millimeter naval triple A in the nose, along with racks to carry depth charges, fuel, and assorted ordinance under the wings. The Australians were also the ones to first give it the Nickname of the Narwhal. And while she couldn't dog fight against the Japanese carrier based fighters, the Narwhal more than made up for it with its ground attack capabilities and long range, able to harass Japanese forces far from Australian waters. The Narwhal started to see more and more use throughout Europe once the USA entered the war. As with the British, the US primarily used the quad-engine airframe for Submarine Hunting. More variants began to spring up as the war progressed. Dedicated bombers and ground attackers, alongside its original transport variant all started to see use throughout Europe, until around January of 1945. In the pacific theater however, big changes were being made. The Americans, inspired by the Australians putting triple A guns in the nose of the PBY-9, mounted the 75mm from a Sherman in the nose, and filled the plane with fifty cals much like their bombers. This other variant found its niche, lobbing high explosive shells at large targets, including ships and boats of the IJN. The PBY-9 even saw use after the Second World War, appearing for a brief stint in the Korean War, reprising its older role as a Ground pounder. After the 1950s, the PBY-9 faded away into museums and the history books, to be marveled at by kids for generations to come. Some would keep flying as part of those museums, though many simply rested in the museum halls.

You will build that plane irl when you hit 100k. You cannot convince us otherwise

I absolutely live for Patch's tangents keep doing what you're doing Patch, your videos are amazing :D

I find it hilarious that one person can embody mass confusion all by himself. I love it, and the squirrel moments are amazing as well. Subbed for the chuckles. :)

[@ottaviobasques]

Well, seaplanes/floatplanes are kinda cool, and they're basically the starting point of carrier-borne aviation.

[@Jakeham7446]

Hey I just wanted to say your videos are amazing and they really brighten my day. Keep up the good work.

[@Streaky100001]

"Sea planes don't really get done any more" Well... that is changing. Earlier this year Catalina announced they were relaunching the PBY......

[@Streaky100001]

Never mind, you mentioned it later. Disregard.

[@protorandom9097]

this feels like one of those tragic designs that were one of the best of their class, but were too little, too late; the same timing that allowed it to use techniques and technology that werent available to earlier designs also meant that by the time it was released, the broader concept was outdated that being said, it looks amazing!

[@dustynmartin3806]

If you ever revisit the flying boat concept, don't forget to look into some of the seaplanes Grumman developed and manufactured (i.e. G-21 Goose, G-73 Mallard, and HU-16 Albatross) for some added inspiration. With a number of examples still in private and commercial use to this day, they're all pretty neat aircraft that are definitely deserving of some recognition and appreciation.

[@ThatBudgetGamer]

Hey patchbits, a flyout idea you might want to try is to make an airliner that has modern tech, but has something that we don’t really do anymore like it’s supersonic or it’s a seaplane like this one or something else you want to try

[@deltaVelocity_]

Love the video! One silly design thing though- those engines look like they'd be awfully close to the water, especially cutting through the surf on takeoff! If you were to revisit it, I might consider making the fuselage deeper (like the Short Sunderland or Boeing 314) or raising the engines (mounted above the wing/upwards pointing like the Be-12 or on a raised wing like the Catalina). Love your videos!

[@alexzandrsokolov3184]

Love the flyout videos! As a suggestion I was thinking of something silly like a Vought V-173, F-82, or Blohm and Voss 141

[@PR0monke]

That looks pretty cool! Speaking of sea planes, can you build a BV238 flying boat?

[@warkus123]

6:24 There's actually a jet seaplane, called the BE-200

[@wolfundfuchsmusik1514]

Hello Patch, I know I'm a bit late in terms of putting out a comment on this video, however; I do like your content, and look forward to the next few videos on Flyout. I intend to make some videos regarding it as well, but I'd love to see you model struts, interior, piping, gear bays (+ Bay doors), Bombay(s) (if any), and engine extras such as Turbos/Super-Chargers (if any), Float Carb (if any); and ammo feeding mechanisms on a WWI-WWII era Propeller aircraft someday. I know this is a weird sort of thing, but I feel like you'd be able to make a very nice realistic aircraft, and after typing this I have more questions for the devs of Flyout other than the Fluid-dynamic/Thermodynamic calculations scale, I'm going to go watch the newest video now, have a good one.

[@trainsofnorway9664]

[@PatchBits]

That's an interesting comment I must admit

[@jacplac97]

With the insane amounts of forest fires around the Mediterranean sea, US west coast, and Australia, introducing a modern version of Catalina as a flying firetruck could certainly find some use, especially since many of the original surviving planes are performing this duty to this day.

[@thepenman4865]

Well good news for this idea as some company that I can’t quite recall the name of has plans for reproducing Catalinas with modern turboprop engines and avionics

[@jacplac97]

@@thepenman4865 Yea Patches said it himself. It is the same Consolidated that made them during WW2. Edit: Well nevermind, apparently it's from a company literally called "Catalina Aircraft", who supposedly holds the rights for the plane.

[@thepenman4865]

@@jacplac97 Yeah I noticed that he said it after I commented, I always have a habit of commenting a mere few minutes before the topic that I’m commenting about is discussed in the video, I reckon we should help Patch get enough money so he can get his hands on one of these Catalinas

[@lahaire4389]

seaplanes/floatplanes are great until you need to land far from coast &/or there are some big a** waves. That's why they dont really are a big thing in modern time, since a regular plane is easier to store/maintain/operate in all weather.

[@maxx_2245]

[@Herra_Perkele]

make a civilian airliner!!!

[@Iamlurking504]

I'd say the tangents make your videos more lively and engaging. Just my thoughts.

[@TheGrant65]

A sleek beast. Probably a patrol bomber. It looks to me like, maybe, a fictional successor to the Consolidated Coronado. (On that basis, I'd maybe call it the Kauai, or Chesapeake.) Also less well known boats from the mid/late '40s, like the Martin Mars and Short Seaford/Solent.

[@steffekryckan1392]

I would love to see you make a self starting glider. 🐥

[@VisceralPurse73]

This is kinda cool because I just made a PBY inspired build in trailmakers.

[@joshstreet6819]

For the time period it was built for plus with the size and the probable range it might have be repurposed for long range scouting for enemy ships (similar to the what happen to the Short S.25 Sandringham (Sunderland)). I would say your patreon are and it wouldn't be a good idea to tell the people you want to buy tickets on your plane as well. You will build a real sea plane the bigger question is in which scale the 1/72 or 1/48?

[@DecayLe4]

Patchbits you should try making a “realistic” biplane of the sorts, maybe with like wires on the inside, maybe even an early ww1 bomber.

[@Niskan40]

Whoa caught one early. The idea would fail because 99.99% of rivers have a current and are very shallow with rocky / dangerous beds, meaning it would be almost impossible to land without basically destroying the lower part... Cities near *lakes* tho

[@adastra7939]

Looks like a cross between the Hughes H-4 and the Boeing 314.

[@scriptedriot]

the MB30 was designed as a commercial seaplane by douglas in late 1933, which saw use by multiple commercial airlines primarily across europe with limited applications in asia and north america aswell as famously and most succesfuly in the pacific islands, used as an island hopping service. The aircraft saw limited success despite it's widespread use however, as it was released in a period in which was already seeing the decline of seaplanes and it proved to be more expensive to run than the amount of profit it turned in for the airlines, and was discontinued two years later, in 1935. However, in 1940, the british airforce saw a need for a seaplane bomber to commence bombing operations in coastal regions without airports, particularly around france before its surrender later that year. As the germans were advancing rapidly, british command had no time to design and trial new aircraft, and so existing leftover MB30's from years prior were immediately repurposed into medium bombers whiled a new aircraft, the MB30/B40, which was the pre-existing MB30 design modernised and adapted to serve as a medium bomber, was created and put into production for the british airforce. the MB30/B40 first entered service around late 1940/early 1941, after the collapse of france. The MB30/B40 was a medium frontlinebomber/torpedo bomer/short-range strategic bomber that could hold a variety of payloads, including 25kg, 50kg, 100kg, and 150kg bombs aswell as incendiary bombs and multiple types of torpedoes. It included a set of landing gear aswell as it's seaplane buoyancy parts to make it more versatile, among other small changes and modernisations such as new, more powerful engines, armour in crucial places, defensive turrets, etc. It saw use mainly in bombing missions on german positions in northern occupied france and most famously in the invasion of italy due to both locations being close to large bodies of water and having signifcant coastal defenses and towns which where classified as strategic bombing locations. In the late war period (1944, 1945) it was phased out of use entirely due to its sluggish movement capabilities, slow speed, relatively low max altitude for a bomber, it's outdated 1930 design, and it's large size making it an easy target for superprops and late war jet fighters.
