Can We Land a Jet on a FLYING AIRCRAFT CARRIER?

Welcome to another episode of Trailmakers! Today we are doing a co-op challenge where we try to land a jet on a flying aircraft carrier in mid-air! I am building the jet the be small and controllable, while Yzuei build the flying aircraft carrier to be large and stable. Will the jet be able to stick the landing on the aircraft carrier? Or will physics betray us?

About Trailmakers:
In the toughest motoring expedition in the universe, you and your friends will build your own vehicles to cross a dangerous wasteland. Explore, crash horribly, use your wits to build a better rig, and get as far as you can with whatever spare parts you find on your way.
Welcome to the Ultimate Expedition!
Journey over grueling mountains, hazardous swamps, and bone-dry deserts on a distant world far from civilization - it is just you, your fellow adventurers and the amazing, jet-powered hover-buggy you built yourself. Explore, crash your vehicle, build a better one, and get as far as you can with whatever spare parts you find along your way.
Trailmakers is about building very awesome vehicles and machines, but you don’t need an engineering degree to get started. The intuitive builder will get you going in no time. Everything you build is made from physical building blocks. Each block has unique features like shape, weight and functionality. They can be broken off, refitted and used to build something new. Individually the blocks are fairly simple, but combined the possibilities are endless.
Expedition Mode is the challenging campaign mode of Trailmakers. You are competing in an off-world rally expedition with only a few building blocks to get you started. You must build, tinker with and rebuild your machine to progress. Journey through a big world, overcome deep gorges, angry wildlife and dangerous weather to progress and find new parts that will juice up your machine. The world in Expedition Mode will test your survival skills and ingenuity.
Sandbox Mode is where you want to head for an unrestricted, sandbox, vehicle-building experience. Here you can build anything you can dream of, and play around with it in the world of Trailmakers. It is a great place to test out crazy machines, and experiment with the physics engine. With tons of different blocks, hinges, thrusters and interactive vehicle parts - the skybox is the limit.
Trailmakers is even more fun if you play it with other people. Build cool vehicles and compete in mini-game modes with your friends or other Trailmakers online. Build a helicopter, send it to your friend, and shoot them out of the sky. Put two seats on a tank, and let your friend control the turret. As we get further in Early Access development Expedition Mode will also be adapted to multiplayer.

What Should The Next Co-op Challenge Be?

[@royalphrog]

land a helicopter on a helipad on a helicopter

[@redkingracer6]

Armoured car vs slower tank that’s better armoured and gunned on survival map or it could be a race with kan and kosmo using teams round the island like you’ve done before

[@sorinkoos9995]

Tank vs tank

[@cookiegamerappear]

Large cargo Plane with 2/3 rotating guns one at the bottom one at the to and one at the back vs small jets for mulitiplayer?

Try playing catch with two mechanical arms that you each make. To succeed make 10 consecutive catches.

I think the issue with the detachable blocks is to do with drag. Similar principle as the zero drag glitch.

[@gamma2581]

Tractor beam would work

[@DeadBread.]

​@@gamma2581 part of the challenge was to not use a tractor beam or anchor pin

[@duncanfather3039]

yes, i think so too, because the physics doesnt recalculate properly, also because when you reset the build it recalculates and acts normally again

Hey Scrapman and Yzuei try playing catch with two mechanical arms that you each make. To succeed make 10 consecutive catches.

No way! I guessed 52 attempts I can't believe I underestimated the scrapyzuei brain power! I really thought the trailmakers physics would give you guys more trouble

[@GummieI]

Now I can't help but wonder now, if anything like this was ever attempted IRL... I mean it doesn't seems impossible with some of the other crazy real life things SM, have tried to replicate in the past

[@pocarski]

air-to-air refueling is basically this

[@alexogilvie1840]

I believe a couple of designs were drawn up but from what I recall the closest thing to this used a hook to catch aircraft, like on some of the earlier naval ships that could launch planes. Don't quote me on that though Edit: pretty sure it was a Zeppelin / blimp that had it as well. Pretty sure dark docs have covered it before

[@maetbag187]

Look up the USS Akron. Spoiler it didn't end well.

[@Kana-lu4lf]

there was a concept on a humongous plane that carried multiple planes but it was just way too big and expensive so it was never made

[@g00gleisgayerthanaids56]

We don't have anything with the energy density to make an airborne aircraft carrier feasible.

I love that you're playing more trailmakers again, even better now that you have someone to play with consistently .

This has a similar concept to a U.S. experimental fighter jet called the XF-85 Goblin. It was deployable jet called a parasite jet attached to a bomber to protect it before airial refuelling became a thing. There is a really interesting and funny video by The Fat Electrician that explains the history of it and why it was invented. (with a lot of swearing tho) Remembered this while watching this and thought it was cool.

Now... try a ship carrier, a plane that can release and catch one or multiple ships, the ship mustn't be able to fly and the plane must have a proper cargo bay, the dimensions are up to you.

[@FayeBel]

I love, how are you and yzuei make the video at the same time

[@adriansrealm]

Scrapman was sitting right on the center line. It doesn't get better than that.

[@M-Cyn4269]

video idea: heavy weapons guy VS the scout: both of you have the same overall power core limit, however one of you has to remain under a certain weight limit and must focus their power cores on thrust, the other person has to remain over a certain weight limit and must focus their power cores on weaponry.

[@benfletcher8100]

You should do a video tutorial on logic gates in Trailmakers cause I have no idea how to use them and I trust you to inform us lol

[@sarahsayocnacar7376]

you aint trusting literal logic pros?

[@GummieI]

I don't think SM, would be the right one to ask for that, kAN would probably be a way better option, of this circle of friends at least, and probably others outside their circle, that would be even better

[@felps_4500]

You're asking that in the wrong channel I'm afraid, kAN's go to guy when talking about logic stuff

Would be awesome to see a few others join in and see how many jets you can successfully land on the carrier.

This video was strangely satisfying to watch.

[@RealPanzer999]

Well someone has to ask: is it possible to build a big enough carrier to carry the carrier? Also you did an air-fight, a sub-fight & a backwards-air-fight but not a ship-battle...(in the new update that is.) you might want to do that as well.

[@SirPhoenixTheDon]

Awesome! Willing to break that record? I challenge you to make a medium size air carrier so you can land a plane on a carrier that lands on a carrier that lands on a carrier.

You two can build an Aircraft Carrier Jet, land a little Jet on it, then land together onto a real Aircraft Carrier... and I can't quit crashing the Cloudcopter and Biplane in Stranded in Space over and over and over and over and the damnable Pickup Drone is flat out impossible for me to fly... O_0 ... Why the hell are most of the Prefabs expecting me to have 3 Hands...? :(

[@wratharkana7069]

An amusing idea to try, with some practice, Land a Plane on a Carrier-Plane WHILST the Carrier-Plane is landing on the Aircraft Carrier XD Would take a good bit of teamwork.

[@fabioerickson]

That's an amazing cool challenge to watch! I think that another cool idea was to create some airplane with kind of an ejection seat that brings pilot back to ground safely! Another is to create a plane with a small plane backup and give it a dogfight, like, when the main plane get some pieces destroyed and not able to fly anymore so detach the small plane inside of that and keeps flying and dogfighting! So cool to see your and Yzuei videos, amazing!

[@Luziferne]

The downforce was a bit of a struck of genius! But using a magnet would have been a hella lot easier xD

[@korrupt_alfiegames9783]

u should do a 2v2 where one person makes a glider and another person makes a cargo type plane that launches the glider once u get to a certain point and whoever's team get the furthest in the glider wins. just an idea idk if it would work but if it does it will be such a cool video either way keep up the good work love your content. PS if u do do this can you pls put my name at the end title screen bc my friend would freak out lol

[@itty_trainsss239]

Historians: no one has made a flying aircraft carrier- Scrapman:

[@nunyabiznis3595]

THAT. WAS. EPIC!

[@agastyagupta-ss5pe]

Scrapman you should do a challenge in which you use the aircraft carrier to unleash a fighter plane to annihilate a multiplayer battleship with many turrets

[@andrewdonnelly7590]

If you already have a VR headset you just need the default charging/link cable and steam VR to make it super immersive.

[@MajorWolff23]

I remember seeing this idea in the comments of other videos, glad to see scrapman saw them.

[@darckhalo6193]

I found a strange plane you could try to recreate in trail makers. It’s called the M-25 Hell reaper. It’s a plane that intended to use it’s sonic boom as a weapon. It would be interesting to see you try to build what the Russians couldn’t finish.😁

[@PyxleZz]

Cool, now try with a helipad redbull style

[@brettmacaulay397]

I'd love to see the devs reaction to this

[@Bobjimthy]

when u took off the flying aircraft carrieir and then landed back on then yzuei landed on the actual aircraft carrier, looked like something out of a movie welldone scrapman and yzuei

imagine the tiny plane hits the tail of the giant flying carrier 💀

man this was so cool, i couldn't help but bave a stupid grin on my face throughout the whole video

Nice one. How many planes would you be able to land in flight on that carrier?

[@AmirulIskandarwarband]

Maybe three?

@@AmirulIskandarwarband depends on the skill of the pilots and mostly how good the downforce keeps the other planes on... you know... last one comin' in sweeping the deck

[@leoagain_]

make a more traditional sea aircraft carrier but have a flap open at the back and the plane land inside the boat. also try to land the aircraft carrier on the aircraft carrier on the aircraft carrier :)

[@DanyF02]

You should get like 4 (or maybe even 8!?) people together for a tournament where you all build the most powerful vehicle you can imagine with the only limitation being the ones you would have in regular sandbox mode and no invincible cabs. Flying, floating, Ground based, anything goes! Go crazy! 1v1s until there's only 1 left after the final! Let's see what's the most combat worthy creations you all can make! (And drive!)

what about a plane high five? like build planes that then extend pistons or rotate arms so that they high five each other mid air

DUDE NICE! That was so so cool

[@bum8le8uzzkillthehive92]

[@WoodrosWorld]

What about making a cargo plane and a car, with the intent to either have a hanging attachment block to grab the car and carry it off to safety or a door that opens and somehow have to drive or jump the car into it.. (imagine a movie scene with the car dodging blimp attacks and a plane just swoops in to carry the car away)

[@selekopa2542]

I love how much the music matched the scenes there. Great video.

[@jelleloef5207]

Cool video guys!

[@johnwyatt6647]

I think that you should try something simliar to this challenge, but the aircraft is pulling on the runaway which could be a separate entity or attached by trailer hinges. Keep up the good work though!

[@theminerboy5694]

That would be absolutely bonkers.

[@unholyhardy4359]

Scrapman, you and your friends should first-person jet obstacle course

[@yousseftamer5822]

How about super boats vs raming jets ? A fast maneuverable boat and a medium fast jet or a plane that has explosivs in its front and the plane tries to ram the boat or even maybe a car

[@Imevul]

That was epic! Challenge idea: You could do best / most versatile transforming vehicle. (As in transformers). For example, a plane that can completely fold away it's wings and become a car, which could then deploy propellers and fold away the wheels to become a boat. Of course, aesthetics matter!

[@Noobaryaa]

That's super cool! Also this reminded me of the Simpsons episode where they stacked trucks on bigger trucks and calling that a truck truck xD

You should do a competition where everyone makes armored targets that hover at a specific altitude and a fighter jet to shoot down the other players target, the person with the target that survives the longest wins

[@NateThurlow]

See if you can make it a VTOL aircraft carrier next, like the helicarrier

[@aaronp51mustang]

1:09 JESUS SCRAP, THIS IS A FAMILY CHANNEL

[@aaronfender8784]

Here's a crazy idea Make a plane but instead of wings you're using sails and see who can win a dogfight with the most unconventional builds you guys can pull off

[@serpentinious7745]

That was even more entertaining than I thought it'd be 😃

[@johncage5368]

Outstanding success. Very cool!

[@Skizzo321]

You guys should try this again, but with prop-planes and airships like the USS Akron or the USS Macon.

[@MrMattkid]

I think you should make an air balloon version of an aircraft carrier and put auto stability and altitude locking on it. Then drop a few of them around the map. On each one have a jet for each of you then do a race from the big aircraft carrier landing on each floating aircraft balloon in order and getting out and swapping jets to then fly to the next carrier so one an so forth. It'll be a race.

[@user-oh6xj5zm5i]

Do a submarine in a submarine😊 This Video was amazing.

[@domesticatednubs4615]

Someone should make a minigun turret and try to defend from aircraft doing gun runs! The aircraft could be trying to break through a large base that the turret sits on that has a couple explosives inside. The aircraft would have to use guns only, probably one minigun or two smart cannons, and the turret could use 2 miniguns and 2 missile launchers, maybe. It'd be super fun to try to dive bomb and get through their defenses without being shot out of the sky

[@littlejedi0882]

WAIT.... So you basically made the helicarrier but plane version lol so cool.

[@dragonangl2161]

Thinking of current aircraft carriers, they don't typically have long enough strips to land/launch like land strips do, instead having launch pads and nets. Could there have been a retractable/deployable net on the carrier to 'catch' the smaller aircraft?

[@nefarioulyte9996]

7:17 scrapman discovers spoilers/airbrakes, circa 2023

[@j-train13]

Okay this gave me an idea for a four player multiplayer You have teams of two, with one large flagship jet and one small fighter ship. The flagship's only goal is to stay in the air (it could be allowed some minimal weapons or none at all). The fighter however, will be armed to the teeth and its goal is to take out the other team's flagship. Both teams fighters can respawn as long as the flagship is still flying but once it crashes the fighter is only has one life left (maybe it could be allowed to immediately repair if needed as soon as the flagship crashes so it has a full chance at survival, or not up to you) and then when both planes are down the team who still has a plane remaining (doesn't have to be the flagship) wins

[@justonyx6721]

I think there is a clear 3-person upgrade to this challenge...

[@some77]

Here is an idea:So it will be a 2v2, so there will 2 people in planes and then there will be 1 person in a plane trying to stop the other 2 people in the planes trying to kill the other person in a car and the person in the car will be trying to get somewhere (you can decide where the person has to go) and the car also will have guns, and you can decide the amount of power cores that are allowed also the 3 people in the planes can respawn, and the car can not and the game ends once the car can not move anymore.

[@_-MAO-_]

Day 1 of asking for you to build a tank that like has 3 turrets and is big Please it will make my day
