You know what I find nuts, the Lancaster's bomb load was considered ridiculously large for it's time yet less than 25 years later the Buccaneer would carry an even larger bomb load at transonic speeds. The rate of progress never ceased to amaze me

[@misterperson3469]

And its carrier compatible!

[@moblinmajorgeneral]

Even earlier than that, the fully loaded weight of a Westland Wyvern was comparable to that of a fully loaded C-47.

[@messier82ac]

Many times have I pointed out to people that a single fighter jet can often carry well over the bombload of the biggest bombers of WW2. It's ridiculous to think about.

[@Losthewaronemus]

Or how about the F-111, which could carry over thirty thousand pounds of payload also just 25 years later, but at almost twice the speed of sound. Pretty crazy...

[@xevious4142]

Buccaneer is such a funny plane name to me. Like just say it. Buccaneeeeeeeer!

[@misterperson3469]

I think the brief history piece at the beginning worked well to establish why we wanted the design specs we want. How short/long it should be is probably worth experimenting with but putting the design goals in a context from the very start works well I think.

[@SaturnianDragon]

I want to see how you would redesign the F-104 Starfighter in Flyout, make it a worthy fighter instead of a coffin with wings. Maybe give it modern avionics too

[@Kikizen]

18:50 HE SAID THE THING

[@A_Bird_With_A_Knife]

Messier a flyout tip to make better curved pipes for exhaust is to select all of the edit points and move it to be on top of the default location then you can rotate it from the base making a ring (-thickasfrick taught me that so i can not clame this idea but i can spread the idea)

[@Rullstolsboken]

videos similar to this with other types of planes from other eras would be a great series. and you dont even have to make specific aircraft for these, you can use fotage from your other videos if said plane fits

[@irritatorgoner1087]

ATTENTION, LOTS OF TEXT! Hello, I just wanted to say that I loved this design. However, there are a few changes I would make to this model, the main one being no pressurization. Now, I admire your idea of making an aircraft that would be safer for the crew, so they wouldn't have to face -50°C cold, but there are three, maybe four, problems with that: the cost(the b-29 cost 3 billions of dollars for the program alone), the production line, the weight because of the pressurization and last but not least the German insistence(jets). However, not everything is super negative reviews, far from it, I know this is just a "simplified" model, there are still things I would like to improve the aircraft's capabilities. The towers would be a twin 20mm to wreck anny german fighter, regardless they size or speed. The engines could have a interesting design that it was used in the fw 190 that's the use of a fan between the propeller and engine which would allowed to hide the air intakes above the engine(there's a channel named Greg that explain it better than me) and there's some minor improve such a nose upper bubble for star navigation, like that one in the b-17, a bomb bay door similar to the b-24(because it has less drag), some windows behind the cockpit for radio operator and fly engineer to look at the engines, air filters, fuel injection if u are crazy and the fw 190 nose to make it look cool Overall this it's just my opinion, in the end i not even a aeronatic engineer so u can ignore with you want( just don't attack please😢), i just a boy that love warbirds, and some heavy ones, it's your plane so do the way u prefer. Try make a fighter that can also be used by the navy, or just for the navy😅

[@giga-ratsey1420]

[@vsmg1877]

Another added advantage of night bombing is that civilians tend to be asleep and therefore have a harder time getting to bomb shelters, leading to an "increased strategic value" per raid.

[@timehmalzeuzkeh7618]

about forced induction and intercooling, heat from the exhaust gases have little effect on manifold pressure, as they do not come into contact with the impellor wheel of the turbo. Must heat in relation to turbocharging comes from physically compressing the air. Compressing air increases its heat as its the same thermal energy in a smaller space. "Heat soak," while certainly not completely negligible, is quite small.

[@Solstice_AC]

Came for the bomber design, stayed for the history lessons, keep it up 👍

[@Shatterwings060]

You know sometimes I wonder and dream of an idea of what WW2 would have looked like if we gotten missiles systems early... like imagine if some madman went back in time and just went absolutely ham in designing, then building missiles; all so he could see a P-51 shoot aim-9s at helpless Bf-109s.

[@tauncfester3022]

The Chain Home radar system was active during the Battle of Britain. Also did you know that some turbocharged aviation radials also have a single stage supercharger in series with the turbo so any attempt to cool the intake air prior to the supercharger is a wasted effort with the supercharger just putting more heat into your carefully cooled intake air. Speaking of your obsessive focus on charge and exhaust cooling, some mighty big aero engines did just fine with what little cooling one intercooler could cope with. Having so many coolers between the exhaust and intake... For one thing, use heat resistant steels in the tube(s) carrying the exhaust gasses, insulate it well, and don't cool it as your taking energy away from the turbocharger. Do some studies on the big engines like the P&W Double Wasp, Wright Duplex Cyclone and the sleeve valve 18 cylinder Bristol Pegasus.. Also, you are going to need great volumetric efficiency, like either 4 valves per cylinder or sleeve valves; putting in a bunch of space and volume flow wasting radiators to get more power is going to not work as great as you think. There's a ton of very thin but very cold air up at 29K, as long as your aircooled engine(s) have a well designed internal cooling duct and cowling, and a cooling flaps that don't induce too much drag.. And then there is the real biggie: Be prepared to have all your whiz-bang recip engine tech be rapidly become irrelevant in less than 10 years time as the jet turbine and more importantly the gas turboshaft/prop start to surpass all your reinventing the wheel. it's inevitable, the first C130 flew when, 1954? With 3000 hp per engine in less weight, size, and complexity.

[@angrdbonz3423]

Strategic bombing IS terror bombing. One of the biggest strategic advantages of strategic bombing was intended to be the diminishing of enemy morale, so that can't be a key difference. Terror bombing was just a propaganda term invented during WW2 to galvanise support from civilians and sew negative sentiments towards the enemy.

[@V3RTIGO222]

Debatable as strategic bombing ostensibly intends to only target military targets with the intent of removing the enemys ability to use or produce military assets... But the accuracy of such mass bombing campaigns effectively makes such distinctions moot if not meaningless especially with the use of incendiary weapons.

[@DOSFS]

@@V3RTIGO222 Also the fact that most factories and other industrial and manefactoring area are 'likely' to located near dense civilian area (idk people might want to not travel far from their workplace or something), plus horrible accuracy of any type of high release boming equal... yeah. But they are clear intend of something between high-up directly order to bomb clearly civilians area and order bomb industrial areas anyway but are aiming at the same thing and might have some same effect but they are difference.

[@가니메데]

Actually, the allied calculus behind the logic of strategic bombing in Europe was that a mathematics model found out that Axis industrial capacity could be crippled by making people homeless by bombing them. Breaking morale was more of a side effect than the main purpose. The german bombings of Britain would be terror bombings, since they targeted morale

Me watching him talk about nautical miles and engines: Nerd! Also me in question: So the letters in the name of a B-17 say where it was made, BO meaning Boeing (Seattle, WA), DL meaning Douglas (Long Beach, CA), and VE meaning Lockheed Vega (Burbank, CA) so that would mean the B-17F75BO was made in Seattle. And the letters on the fuselage defined what bomb group, I’m too lazy to pull up my files about it.

[@redactedredacted4080]

Figured out a reason why they would have the expensive engines and such. It’s because a good portion of the raid would happen at during the day. They reached Germany. It would still be there be barely light or just had sunset so there’s a chance that they might encounter patrolling fighters in route. Something I think you need is a World War II Maritime strike aircraft. I mean your island is well in Ireland. It lives dies by the world’s oceans so American strike, and patrol aircraft would be needed.

[@vypergaming117]

My favorite type of Aircraft designs has to be the twin engines with turrets/gunners on them And my favorite aircraft of all time goes the the P-61 Black Widow due to its unique top quad 50 turret and it's overall design...except the round nose I kinda hated that part but it's whatever I wonder what your fictional nation would make of a twin engine heavy fighter
