The Most Bizarre Airplanes of World War II

Aviation was in its adolescence in World War II, and a great deal of (reckless?) experimentation took place which resulted in some pretty funky prototypes. Learn about some of the strangest planes that came out of the 1930s and 40s, and maybe take note of some things not to try. Not all of these were masters of the air...

Great video from such a small channel. Excellent production quality as well as content. Keep it up man!

[@RuiBossTheOnly]

Thank you, I appreciate it!

I feel like asymmetric aircrafts are really interesting because they look like they would just kinda loose controll... and crash down in a spiral. That reminds me of the experimental AD-1 Aircraft, it acomplished the reduced drag of a pivoting wing by rotating both wings in the same direction which made it asymmetric. The point of it was that the mechanism for tilting the wings is stronger and less complicated than in an F14 for example.

I haven't heard of the AD-1, I'll check it out! And I agree, asymmetric planes are definitely interesting. I just saw that Boeing announced a ring-wing design airliner, which would also be fascinating to see.

Amazing man . Keep it up!!!!❤❤

[@RuiBossTheOnly]

Thank you very much!

[@itmejac6945]

Really good video! I subscribed

[@RuiBossTheOnly]

Thank you very much! More of these to come. 💪

If everyone died in the crash, because some passenger sat in the pilot's seat and disconnected the auto pilot, WHO TOLD what happened since they were ALL DEAD?? Seance perhaps?

[@RuiBossTheOnly]

An excellent question! Cockpit radio perhaps?

You luckily didnt do french aircraft,they had simular aircraft as "Dune" has,dont even mention there desing. Fun fact,there were battelship submarine,guess from who,3,2,1 O its french,like it had 2 large cannons,but Germans had them but much smaller. But Japanese had underwater carriers,ofc submarine carriers. US used zeppelins to dock there bibeplains,same as pirasite bombers for there B-29,japan used the same just with kamikaze rocket,aka small aircraft that was just a rocket propelled bomb which pilot flied. There was also where CIS built first submarine that got a kill,they attached exsplosive to the stick wich was close to the sub. First torpedo was invented by a croat,wich Withead copied and claimed it. Largest abondend underground air base is located in Croatia. I just got bored and randomly started jumping from one thing to the other

[@RuiBossTheOnly]

Haha, a lot of fun and crazy things there, thanks! The Japanese sub carriers sound particularly interesting.
