The first vehicle to counter the Banshee in Halo, it really needs to come back as it's probably the best of them all in all aspects. The Falcon comes in a close second though. And 00 is still a channel I enjoy watching, even with how recent he is he's one of the greatest channels in the community.

[@angry_eck]

The way they deminished most vehicles to one pilot operator is kind of annoying atleast we got the passenger ground added back in the form of the razerback but we still need the hornet and the Spector, Shadow, and Prowler

[@Grimpy970]

Man, the hornet could do it all. I remember island hopping the arctic circle on Meridian... see, we got the O-K to set up these big-ass slipspace dishes with albatrosses and a bunch of guys.. but when it turns out their fusion coils run out of coolant every few months, suddenly it's *all* up to me. They can carry WAY more on a belly-sling than most people figure Needless to say, I had to spend a lot of quality time with that bird before the big sunset.

[@cyberspectre8675]

@@Grimpy970 I was stationed aboard the UNSC Against The Wind from '47 to '48. Covies took off half her bow with a ventral beam, so she was dry-docked and we had shore leave on Meridian for about two weeks. IIRC, this was summer of 2547. I was the newbie in my unit and didn't know anyone on that ship, so I went out by myself and ended up having drinks with a couple of army guys. Next thing I knew, I was flying a Hornet into Port Moyne with the pilot strapped to the skid. They had two birds, two stick jockeys, and one of them was so trashed, we had to literally ratchet-strap him to his plane. Somehow I, the 20-something ODST with zero flight experience and wearing civies, had the best chance of getting the bird back to base. Woke up the next morning in a motel with a civilian contractor on my chest. What a night!

[@sam2920]

As someone who is learning about turbine engines for my career, I'm very impressed with you explaination of axial and centrifugal flow compressors. The intakes up near the front are pretty hard to explain, but I think you did a good job with proposing ideas. I would think those could also be intakes for an APU (Auxillary Power Unit) to run accessories (hydraulics, pneumatics, electrics) since the main 2 turbines don't seem to have accessories connected to them. In modern airliners, all APUs utilize a centrifugal compressor for packaging purposes, so I would surmise the hornet would be no different. We could also combine our two theories, the APU being used to run accessories and the exhaust of the apu being routed into the thrust vectoring manifolds for a "boost" function.

[@hf117j]

I haven't actually gone to school to learn these things but I will say that the Hornet is much less feasible than the wasp. The wasp has four point of thrust meaning the cg is not as important due to being able to adjust them. But the hornet basing off a 3d print with the cockpit hollow has a cg very far forward of the engine nacelles. The tail's gotta be way more dense to balance it and that creates the issue of total weight and fuel efficiency. It's a whole thing. That being said I want an rc version

[@domvasta]

I think it's probably a thermal turbo fan, the front intakes are cooling for the internal fusion reactor. With bleed air expelled through vents at the rear. The engines could be feed perpendicularly to the rotational axis with hydrogen or methane for the afterburner/exoatmospheric operation.

[@thorshammer7883]

Oh crap how did I not notice they never brought back this specific vehicle up again despite it being a awesome aircraft. How did I not notice it being disregarded by 343 completely I have zero idea. This aircraft was very cool and sad to see it forgotten in the sequels and lore.

I would replace the Wasp with the hornet in a heart beat if i could, its always nice to have a transportation option with a nimble aircraft, kind of wished we had one irl. and cant wait for the M99 Stanchion breakdown, not many people have touched on the subject sense its appearance on halo wars 2 atleast from what i have looked up.

[@jimbothegymbro7086]

you actually see that IRL with the little bird, it's a light helicopter first but it's capable carrying a 4 man squad in a pinch similar to the hornet, there's no IRL analogue for the wasp

[@hf117j]

Hornet center of mass is ridiculously far forward of the center of thrust. I tried a 3d print of one just to see that, cockpit hollow and everything. Tried balancing it on the engines with the rest hanging below. It nosed down hard. An rc version is feasible given small motors can be powerful enough to lift it even with the tail weighed down to compensate but. Large scale is a no go. That being said the wasp has four points of thrust which means it may be doable. Gotta print it

[@hf117j]

​@@jimbothegymbro7086 Wasp is strictly attack and aerial recon. So if there is a helicopter for those roles than yes there is.

[@legendsoffae]

The Hornet is definitely one of the best air vehicles in Halo. Bettered only by the Pelican in my mind. Glad to see this videos still up and this was an amazing listen!!!! Great information, and just an amazing job was done

[@P10NE3R1111]

You say you debuted when interest was waning, and I want to thank you and your channel not only for renewing my interest in halo, but also giving a wonderful look into the more technical side of the Lore that isnt usually looked at. Your videos have always been incredibly informative and interesting, and I look forward to seeing more from you!

[@TheIAmLink]

Aircraft mechanic here. That secondary jet intake may be for an APU (auxiliary power unit) that provides electrical, hydraulic and or pneumatic power to the aircraft till the main engines start. Looking at the design of the main engines, there doesn't seem to be room for those components (pumps and generators) to be built-in on that airframe so the hornet may need the APU to be run continuously for the main electronics and hydraulics to function.

[@BFTmanable]

[@justinhansen1328]

15:48. It's important to keep in mind that this is a UNSC craft, although not operable in space the bird could still be transported through environment that are space like. In addition the unsc is aware of chemical attacks and probably pressurized the cabin in the event that oxygen would need to flow through the cabin in a chemical attach as such pressurization would further isolate the bird from the outside world

[@sipofsunkist9016]

I like the hornet so much more than the wasp, the wasp is literally just a better banshee with hitscan and ability to hover. At least the hornet could be called a transport

[@dsdy1205]

17:47 This is quite likely a small jet system like you describe, but for stability, not boost - a 2-jet vtol design is inherently unstable in the pitch axis since there's no way to generate moments pitch moments with 2 aligned engines. So a hot air vectoring system like found in the Harrier is essential to keep the main fuselage stable instead of swinging up and down wildly.

[@S1337theoddoneout-ip9xc]

18:25 i think that's probably the air intake for the APU, that sounds more likely. (In my head) i could also be the 1st stage of something like the water jets that use a 2 stage impellers. Anyhow! great breakdown you know how to give it the level of detail commonly found something like a forgotten weapons video.

[@nolanshockley7674]

Great video man! Flip/flop cyclic and collective function and you’re spot on. Cyclic flies the aircraft directionally, collective flies the lift component as a single unit, pedals counteract torque or allow torque to control the nose by changing angle of blade or engine nacelle in this case.

[@sullyhet]

the intakes in the body of the craft probably aren't for a jet engine for forward thrust but rather for an apu or auxiliary power unit, basically the part of an aircraft that provides electrical power when the engines meant for propulsion aren't actually operating such as during initial start up and shut down

[@neilbodwell9172]

That extra jet engine could also be in part to feed extra power to all systems some of the systems electrical. Modern C-130's and many other large logistical craft do have something similar. They call it an auxiliary power unit. And it's basically a micro turbine engine and it's job is to provide electricity for the air craft via whatever means a turbine engine can provide electricity. Having a separate power source than the main engines and batteries make sense. At any rate, an interesting video. Keep up the good work

[@lot9272]

I think every Halo KZbinr brings unique perspectives and personality to their content, yourself included! Keep up the great work! Loving the content!

[@spyker_aileron]

The theoretical extra engine could also be for an APU in order to provide power for the craft.

[@guillaumelalonde7945]

[@DannyHeywood]

Air Pressure is required above 10,000ft on Earth. Different habitable planets will have different atmospheric pressure so maybe they are just playing it safe so they don't realise the hard way haha

[@stamis22]

17:30 so my guess as to the purpose of the third mystery engine is that it’s an APU or auxiliary power unit, a common piece of equipment on modern aircraft that is used to generate power and pressurization before the main engines are started. The pressurization also feeds the primary engines to allow them to start up at the time before their compressor blades are spinning fast enough to allow for ignition. It could also be possible that due to the small size of the primary engines, the APU in the hornet is designed to run continuously even after engine start for bleed air purposes including cabin pressurization and anti-ice equipment as well as being the primary generator for the aircraft. This is not the standard on real world modern aircraft, however modern aircraft also have much larger engines allowing more space for accessory housings such as the generator. Additionally, utilizing an APU for all bleed air functionality allows the engines to provide all their power towards thrust, something that is likely important for a VTOL aircraft especially with engines of that size.

[@abdamit]

the pressurized cocpit could perhaps also be just so the craft can be used in toxic enviroments on alien planets.

[@schwig44]

Third jet is likely an always-on APU for operating the rest of the craft so the main engines don't have any extra load, just propulsion.

[@SpartanJoe193]

[@LDSG_A_Team]

While it's probably not really necessary, given how advanced UNSC tech is, I might also suggest that the extra intakes on the sides of the hornet could be used to power the auxiliary power/startup engine, as well as possibly doubling as the drive motor for the rotary cannons and the theorized extra air ducts for the engines. Could you do all of that just with electric power? Sure. Could Hornets be powered by very small fusion reactors, similar to MJOLNIR but less expensive? Certainly. Just a thought I had

[@2011Kestrel]

Good video - I really enjoy your most detailed breakdown series- and this particular subject is of great interest to me. I really wanted to get into aerodynamics when I was in school, and I have a particular interest in small VTOL aircraft. A profound lack of employment opportunities made me choose a different career path, but I still dabble in aerodynamic design from time to time. I hope you’ll do a breakdown on other aerial vehicles like the Falcon, Wasp or SparrowHawk, if you haven’t already done so.

[@MikeWToast]

I just realized: A possible reason for the Hornet to not be seen often is because it is powered by jet turbines. If the atmosphere around it doesn’t lend well to the design tolerances of what can be accepted as intake air, then I imagine it would be unable to function properly. This could be remediated by use of a dual-function, hybrid turbine and rocket engine, though this would severely increase weight, and the amount of time that a rocket powered hornet could remain in the air would be severely limited. On that note, Falcons would make a lot of sense for a much broader range of atmospheres. It seems the Falcon still is powered by turbines, but it can theoretically be modified to rotate its propellers using other means aside from a turbine engine.

[@dsdy1205]

Honestly with the abundance of fusion power employed by the UNSC I don't think this is an issue - you can replace the combustion chamber with heat exchangers routed through the reactor core, which allows your turbines to work with any compressible fluid.

Despite being a large vehicle it boast highly impressive firepower with flight characteristics similar though less impressive to both the hornet and falcon in hover and low speed maneuvers though I believe the craft is capable of higher top speeds than either of the aforementioned craft due to the structure being inherently more aerodynamic. Which leads me to believe that the vulture craft was not intended for hover combat specifically rather it was to act as a cheaper option to long sword deployment for CAS operations but could also double as heavy medium range gunship. I have always been impressed by the craft but after I joined the US marines my respect for the craft multiplied as any self respecting general would happily March to war against any odds for the chance to get their hands on just one of those crafts

[@notaulgoodman9732]

The aircraft in Halo are like examples of natural selection. Not really a compliment tho... when naturally selecting you only care for features that will keep the thing alive long enough that they could reproduce which oftentimes yields the bare minimum. So many vestigial bits, useless parts that come from an ancestor's parts that once had a purpose. You mentioned that the wings here are not aerodynamically sufficient to generate lift (and I saw some guy do some aero sims on a Pelican CAD model which showed it was generating downforce and not lift lmao) which is an example of that. Instead it kind of "grew" turbojets and maybe a turbofan with vectored exhausts around the turbojets to compensate for the lack of lift. Both as a way to keep it small and compact. It sounds to me like Misriah's (and maybe its 500 year long generations of engineers which may or may not be related to Lockheed Martin) took UH-60 Blackhawks or AH-64 Apaches and slapped features onto it over such a long amount of time to get to where we are now. Maybe in the late 21st century they thought of converting Apaches into something like the V-22 as a way to not spend billions for a replacement like the V-280 is to the blackhawk so they took the turboshaft and helicopter blades and replaced it with wings and 2 smaller turboshaft engines. Then in the 22nd they wanted something faster so they got fucking afterburning turbojets lmfao (some aerodynamic changes too like maybe a swept wing design). Then they wanted a smaller variant so lets say they made the AHV-65S which is a cut down version. Insurgency happens and now they want titanium armor, to compensate for the weight they replaced the cumbersome wings with stubbier ones that instead act as supports for their futuristic highly efficient and very powerful turbojets. It's like wow... I think you can kinda see that in modern B-52s.
