Over 3 Hours of Aviation History | Rex's Hangar - Season 2

[@RexsHangar]

F.A.Q Section - Ask your questions here :) Q: Do you take aircraft requests? A: I have a list of aircraft I plan to cover, but feel free to add to it with suggestions:) Q: How do you decide what aircraft gets covered next? A: Supporters over on Patreon now get to vote on upcoming topics such as overviews, special videos, and deep dives. Q: Why do you use imperial measurements for some videos, and metric for others? A: I do this based on country of manufacture. Imperial measurements for Britain and the U.S, metric for the rest of the world, but I include text in my videos that convert it for both.

[@yareps]

(Oops! Just saw this FAQ section.) Rex, I'd love to know how early biplanes with folding wings were structurally strong enough to hold together. I never see hinge mechanisms that would give me confidence.

[@YouTubeSucks666]

A Fokker special?

[@godlugner5327]

Q: how did you post this question 6 days ago when the video was uploaded 8 hours ago? 😂

[@waitingforanalibi2224]

Your right, I love binge watching your videos. Saved this one for laying on the sofa in the evening with the lights off when the kids finally went to sleep!

[@Jaxenmarks]

Could you do a video of the f-111 aardvark

[@life_of_riley88]

Laying in the hospital recovering, listening on headphones. These long form videos are perfect as I drift in and out of sleep 👍

[@swj719]

Get better, mate.

[@ianmcguinness5029]

Get Well very soon.

[@Sparkanp]

Wishing a speedy recovery!

[@life_of_riley88]

Thanks everyone! Spinal surgery sure takes its time to heal.

[@PNT-Garage]

Hopefully a speedy recovery to you!

[@warhawk4494]

Thank you for making these long play videos and uploading them to youtube and not just Spotify or whatnot.

[@electricflyer81]

As an amateur historian, I love long-form videos especially ones about aviation. I am recording your videos just in case they are ever removed from KZbin so that I can watch them again.

[@donshively9395]

How, exactly do you record? I’m a cancer patient that must spend two days a month half asleep in bed. Drac’s videos are the best. Lately however, the exploding commercials with 20 % higher volume has me painting a dab of nail polish on the mute button so I can silence the disturbing music and dancing. Try it. Use several coats and let it dry!

[@kampkat6089]

@@donshively9395good luck my friend, hope it all works out.

[@roryhennessey1983]

​@@donshively9395 OMG I can't imagine. Any chance you have 15 dollars a month that you can spare to get KZbin premium? It's the best bang for your buck. I watch a lot of KZbin as well and I can't handle all those commercials!. I just prayed hoping a successful recovery for you. Happy holidays my brother!

[@Sophocles13]

I absolutely love long format videos. I know that they don't do nearly as well as 20 minute videos and are a *lot* of work, so I want to thank you for making this for us to enjoy. I appreciate you!

[@randyb5067]

Thank you for not having that loud weird-ass music in the background that plays the entire video! Love the content..

[@davesteadman1226]

Absolutely agree!

[@Rincypoopoo]

... Now half way through. Coming up for air. Brilliant stuff.

[@walterbigsby6380]

Title of your sex tape

[@goicearadu4296]

I swear this is a new form of ASMR. Thank you so much for doing this Rex, keep it up!

[@danubiosalas4231]

I like it for long road trips, but have to be careful with the sleep.

[@pulex73]

Thank you, that's very pleasing! Nice voice, not too fast, not too slow. Hardest part for the next days will be to find where I felt asleep. Though that's a very strange compliment it is indeed!

[@bull614]

The struggle is real, and you are not alone, lol

[@SpielkindFR]

This kind of content is perfect to fall asleep to.

[@daniellarge9784]

Try listening to the dulcet tones of our friend Mike Brady at Oceanliner Designs.

[@GARDENER42]

I really appreciate this kind of reprise of previous videos; saves me searching for (& sometimes missing) interesting content. I agree it wouldn't work well with the longer videos, unless only three or four at a time.

[@jolashal8572]

Thank you for releasing these seasons like this, I've been sleeping to you every night for weeks now

[@ProvidenceNL]

Oh man, 3 hours of goodness, thanks Rex!

[@malcolmgibson6288]

There are plenty of plane nutters about. I look forward to more of your great videos.

[@krosskaien8618]

Easter arrived early this year! After the release of your Season 1 video, a few friends and I hosted an aviation history themed party with your video as the main event. We engaged in discussions about various featured aircraft, guys had a chance to show off pictures of their scale models, we even had an occasional War Thunder session (hot seating as we didn't have enough hardware for everyone). It was a blast! With the release of a new video, we now have a perfect excuse to throw another party. I really appreciate this style of videos. Hopefully, you can resolve the issues with your other projects mentioned in the intro. Cheers!

[@darrellwestrick2110]

Just keep making these. A little or a lot? All of the above. We love it!

[@masondegaulle5731]

Almost a week before I had the time, but glad I could find the time. Excellent, _thank you._ As a fellow aussie, you do the community proud. 👍 Edit - Thought I might add, Sir Charles Richard Fairey is my great uncle, and the controversy surrounding "The Great West Aerodrome" deserves an episode all in of itself. Just wait... As I understand it, the Fairy Aviation Co. Aerodrome was acquisitioned by the govt./military during WW2 to become The Great West Aerodrome, during which time FA Co. had received an absurd sum for the land, under the apparent premise the land would be returned after hostilities ceased. This, of course, never eventuated, and FA Co. had to sue for the return of the land, or just recompense. This all but bankrupted FA Co. at the time, and it was by parting out segments of the company and the *slimmest* of margins that FA Co. continued to exist. They never *really* recovered, and the land they had stolen from them, "The Great West Aerodrome", today, is *Heathrow Airport.* Edit: It's possible I may have mentioned this previously, I'm not sure. Whiskey and whatnot. Cheers.

[@TexJester-no8th]

I'm a long haul trucker with a life-long (60+ years now) love of aircraft prior to 1950. This is the best channel for that. And the sprinkles of VERY dry humor is always fun! I'm home with a knee injury; I've taken to building model cars and trucks, while a tv is on in the background. The tv this Friday absolutely SUCKS - Ancient Aliens, old reruns of Cops, or political news (the Democrat national convention just ended..). So ... Three hours of Rex! (And likely a four hour episode tomorrow!)

[@dereksmith6126]

It seems in the earlier days of flight there were plenty of "terrifying incidents" Loving these long format videos Rex, even though I've watched the individuals.

[@Stay_at_home_Astronaut81]

I've loved the Saab 17, since i was a kid in the 80's. Such a beautiful, effective aircraft.

[@simonevans8979]

Last day off this week and have some time today to watch this today... Thanks Rex.

[@JBall-hd8bw]

I've watched/listened to all 3 seasons.......love the content.

[@ponyote]

The Saab airframe markings always make me smile for some reason. The tri-crown stands out among markings of that era, to me.

[@treize6832]

Thank you rex, these are going to get me through many long work days. :)

[@ironteacup2569]

Bingable content like this is amazing and always needed

[@armablign]

omg season 2 *Happy noises* c: Perfect for my study background noise, thank you c: Perfect reminder and motivator for my mech aero studies :D

[@MatthewMcPherson-qf1gf]

Thank you for your channel. I've been so bored lately and I'm binge watching all of your content.

[@Sturminfantrist]

Whow 3 hours thx Rex, finished it just a minute ago and now its time to fly my Spits in Warthunder RB air

[@mikeskelly2356]

Meticulous detail married with soothing narration. ✌

[@williamgreen7415]

Thanks!

[@geoffkeeys6946]

Dammit. He did it again. A 3hr video that just breezed by. How come they only feel like 20 minutes? Good job, sir.

[@peterkordziel7047]

MAN! Did you see what they did on that Beardmore Inflexible's landing gear? They put the British National Insignia Roundel on the WHEELS! Look at it! it covers the entire thing! Big red, white and blue logo wheels! I love it. Thank god at least one of those wheels were saved.

[@ReturnoftheNative-w8k]

I love rhis format. Thank you. Aust.

[@Kevv554]

Rex, you're awesome. Thanks very very much for this. Hugs from across the water.

[@RemusKingOfRome]

OMG ! I cannot watch this now, bet it will be great ! :D

[@pedrotome9119]

Hi! Oh, yes!! Like others said, good voice, no psicadélic or similar musics, and well prepared videos. College class on the subjects. Even a non native English fellow can get it all!

[@justfly7730]

Thanks for the second part

[@thomastheisman1751]

Rex,I suspect a large portion of your viewers also watch Drachinifel and his 3+ hour q&as.

[@pedrotome9119]

I do!! Thank God both exist!! (And it seems the "school" was the same, does not it??) 😮

[@undergroundupholstery]

It’s a great formula. Two of the best channels

[@colinsdad1]

Absolutely, Good Sir!

[@Stay_at_home_Astronaut81]

Indeed.

[@LPMutagen]

I also like Greg's Airplanes and Automobiles.

[@willorr1494]

how they dreamed up some of these monsters and flew them is LOL great format.... and love whatching your hard work....

[@jeremywilson4326]

Here's another good experiment ,,,,, take a Curtiss wright pusher and modernize it . With a piston engine or turbo prop . Would probably be a death trap . What do y'all think ?

[@greggehring249]

Keep up the wonderful great work Sir Do incredible wonderful work is what you do and I hope you keep on doing what you're doing even though you may run out of planes and subject matter but you've left me so entertained by all the crazy planes you come up with that I never thought in my life ever existed Obviously Practicality Reliability and Safety was not on the engineer's Minds back in those days Sometimes you get me laughing so hard I'm about to fall out of my chair and crack a rib or something😅❤😂😊

[@EDDGC]

wow! it is an awesome and great work the one you do on these videos, thanks.

[@timothyveech668]

The story about two pilots making an unauthorized flight at night and crashing that bomber made me laugh. They had to be blind drunk! Two characters worthy of their own comedy series.

[@CurtisWebb-en5kh]

Thank you.This kicks ass.

[@Frost_x_NB]

Not me at 4:30am just waking up to this on.

[@philbosworth3789]

A great episode again. Perhaps when you get over Covid you could make an episode comprising all the unusual aircraft from Season 2?

[@Ulvetann]

Wee ten years later, they get the Avro Lancaster. Amazing stuff.

[@richardstaples8621]

Re: evaporative cooling at 42.00 - 'It boiled down to 1 or 2 things'.

[@swj719]

I love these so much.

[@deflatedrubberduck]

Thanks Rex. 👍

[@jasonz7788]

You rock Man great work Sir thank you

[@jayyydizzzle]

We eating good today!

[@DavidHuber63]

I love these videos

[@sirbum1918]

I'm loving it! 😍

[@davidmcintyre8145]

When talking of Beardmore we must remember that the first practical aircraft carrier designs and indeed the first purpose built aircraft carrier HMS Argus were Beardmore designs

[@dennismason3740]

Maybe I'm nuts but the general engineering and layout is brilliant - the big Junkers. Weighs twice as much as a P-47!

[@andrewince8824]

If you wish to keep the Swordfish in the air, get drunk. My local brewery, Wadworths of Devizes, Wiltshire, makes a glorious brew called Swordfish. This wonderful beverage is infused with rum and goes down smoother than a torpedoed ship. Wadworths donates a percentage of the income from this most godly of drinks to assist in keep a Fairey flying. Please get wasted so the icon can remain aloft.

[@marvinparker9151]

i know what im gonna do today! Also: id very much like for the deep dives to be included in these in the future, perhaps even matching overview followed by the deepdive.

[@stephenbond1990]

I don't think they could have better demonstrated the vast size of the Inflexible than they did with that photo at 4:40.

[@yareps]

Rex, I'd love to know how early biplanes with folding wings were structurally strong enough to hold together. I never see hinge mechanisms that would give me confidence.

[@micfail2]

Me: I'm physically exhausted and need to go to bed but I'm mentally active. What do? Rex:

[@therocinante3443]

I watched the first one probably 6 times because of watching something trying to go to sleep. Finally finished it! Now there's a part 2, horray!

[@johnhagemeyer8578]

Sweet, im listening as i type. Might be a part 2 to my message.

[@gerardlabelle9626]

I enjoyed learning about these aircraft. Several of the designers frankly sound like amateurs, and I am amazed that test pilots could be found.

[@theinfernollama8564]

I live the Beardmore Inflexible it just looks so sleek.

[@isthatrubble]

you could do a "season 2 part 2" compilation, with the longer videos/any series in it. I think I would like the two kinds of videos to be separate instead of mixed together in one long compilation.

[@monkeyfistnation]

You rock broham

[@jill-ti7oe]

Flying snacks throughout the day.

[@lp5335]

Rex for president

[@AJ-lu3wx]

Just learning why Lockheed is spelled the way it is was worth the watch by itself.

[@joshreeves3683]

yes please include everything you post in your season videos

[@nickthompson9697]

Just in time for morning chores!

[@ponyote]

My understanding of - admittedly modern - air dropping of tanks is that they drop a tank, then drop a repair team to put the tank back together. Anything can be air dropped at least once.

[@davidgenie-ci5zl]

42:20 " can be boiled down to..." very funny considering you are describing the evaporative cooling system. hahahaha

[@ponyote]

Rudder Flutter reminds me, personally, of Utter Flutter from the 80s My Little Pony. :D

[@chessell256]

And thus Nelson's ghost finally rests. Rule Britannia! To brave sailors of both sides!🍻

[@interpl6089]

A video on Czechoslovak aircraft would be amazing...especially since they are not well known.

[@jamessecrest9196]

Please do all the videos for the next season

[@michaelwalker4977]

A question, or maybe just an observation. If I am comparing two numerated things with similar numbers, say, "135" and "145", I will emphasize the number that is different between them, "a hundred thirty-five hp vs a hundred FORTY-five", but I've noticed you place a strong emphasis on the last number even when they're the same, "a hundred thirty-five vs a hundred forty-FIVE," and I'm not sure why.

[@floydmays6308]

The more esoterica, the better. That would help differentiate you from other aircraft channels.

[@qibble455]

CA-90 @1:47:10 movie: The Wind Rises

[@jeebusk]

21:00 I think drach said that's the only time they used their 500lbs bombs, ( there may have been a qualifying statement )

[@emjackson2289]

Spoiler Alert: Theres a new "actor" playing the lead role in TSR2.

[@billynomates920]

so the stringbags were to feature steam cooling, the b17's wright radials had sodium cooling and mercedes built a land speed racer with a drag coefficient of 0.157, powered by a twin supercharged 48 valve dohc v12 outputting 736 hp and 1000nm torque. - technology has advanced exponentially in the century since but ponder some of these designs and it just might make you think twice!

[@worrierqueen5695]

The SAAB B-17 range you provide (1700 km) is for the recon version with the extra 333 litres in the bomb bay and no bomb to carry. The bomber range was around 950 km (see the key.aero site for the SAAB 17). Note the 1700 km range is a wide misconception started, as so often, by wikipedia's specs being a mish mash of a variety of B-17 models. This happens regularly for wikipedia's aircraft specs, even popular planes like the Bf-109 (check out their G6 specs, not remotely accurate). To be accurate you always need to do more research than wikipedia or all its clone sites that just repeat the nonsense figures. For range, a great rule of thumb as to whether posited figures are accurate is to find out the fuel capacity, the weight of the plane fully-loaded and the engine it uses. Obviously this won't give you accurate figures (plane profile and drag are also big factors) but it will tell you when you are out by a factor of two, as in this case.

[@paulbrogger655]

With respect to the Airacuda: What was Lockheed's offering in response to the long range escort fighter operational requirement?

[@paulbrogger655]

(I'll guess: the P-38.)

[@donshively9395]

Recovering from chemo, I often fall asleep with your great programming. I have one request. Please drop the volume on your ads! Just as I doze off, I’m blasted awake with loud rap music! I took to killing the volume, putting on the subtitles and trying to read them with binoculars! Not good for restful enjoyment. Finally, I took a dab of finger nail polish and put a tall dab on the mute button. I relax with the remote in my hand. When startled awake, I can find the mute button easily, close my eyes and easily find the un-mute button and continue with your relaxing program. It all would be unnecessary if you had any control over your sponsors insisting on a 20 % volume increase just so you MUST look at their product! Please control your ad volume. Long time listener, Don Shively

[@drstevenrey]

Chris, you are just the single best site to watch and listen to. I get seriously annoyed by Dutch, Russian or Asian accents over longer times. You sound like an understandable human.

[@davidwhyte5918]

Who designed the eye sorers, it is unsettling

[@nicholastheghostpianist5649]

can you tell me what was the small monoplane that appeared at 6:24?

[@davefellhoelter1343]

did the CCP Mosquito have same torque direction rotating Props? Looked to me like the Props turned the same direction.

[@mrspaceman2764]

If we're going by the Teslabot, I don't think we have anything to worry about.

Blackburn (later BAE) plant at Brough in East Yorkshire is pronounced 'Bruff' not 'Brow' (English pronunciations make little sense!)

[@bull614]

2 zeros while in a peashooter..... well, it just goes to show how important the pilot is

[@peterplotts1238]

Bismarck would probably have been able to reach the safety of Luftwaffe air cover and the harbor at Brest if the second day's torpedo hit had not jammed her rudder so that she could only travel in a circle, making Bismarck easy pickings for Rodney and Princes of Wales.

[@johnculver2519]

The chapter mark 1:14:00 Blackburn Cubaroo seems to be at the wrong time.

[@mikadoggo7699]

At 10:26 the cutaway looks like an imperial class star destroyer lol

[@ruusteriv]

May I suggest the Potez 630 family for a future video?
