The Secret of Flying without a Vertical Fin

This video explains how flying wings can achieve flying stability without a vertical stabilizer and without electronic stabilization.

[@Lacksi12]

While it is a bit hard to listen to the TtS voice this has been quite informative. I didnt even know about the second effect the vertical stabilizer provides. I quite like this style of video

[@hannanhub1717]

thank you

[@unequal_fabrication]

Great video! Very informative. Would like to see more on how you make your models. Their detail and quality is incredible.

[@richardo212]

This is an excellent video which leads the viewer nicely to the current holy grail of reducing airframe drag by reducing the drag from the vertical stabiliser. It briefly describes the use of proverse yaw generated by careful control of the spanwse lift distribution of the wing to allow clean banked turns using the elevons without having to use excess drag devices to reduce adverse yaw. It then points us in the direction of all the pioneering work of NASA in this field where a lot more information is available. Brilliant stuff.

I would love to see a " how to " for the Horten and or the Northrops, keep up the vids :)

[@hifinsword]

I found this video very informative and well explained. I do plan on building an RC model plane with sweptback wings and this helps a lot. I do prefer the looks of tilted vertical stabs/rudders on my planes similar to the SR-71 but your explanations are very useful to me. Thank you.

Max, Great video. I just picked up the Powerup 3.0 and Dart. I will be working on a this very topic. and plan to build a Prandlt-D wing for this scale. I agree with Austin Davis on the "How To" vids. same with the Wright Flyer. I plan to use this platform to get my boys into flying. the tip of ~20g AUW is such big help.

[@alistairclark6814]

The wing tip flaps are called adding reflex to the wing speeding up the airflow under the wing in comparison to the center. This lowers the stall point of the tips in comparison to the center increasing directional stability.

[@Dodoskee]

Great video. Explains everything very well. Thanks. Now I know how flying wing planes can fly without a vertical stabilizer.

[@themechbuilder6171]

very VERY informative!!! thanks!

[@R.B_B]

Great video!

[@MarkLawry]

Very interesting. I have no problem with the synthesized voice. I have been thinking of trying to modify a Flite Test Mini Arrow to make it like a B2.

[@tombouie]

Thks nice qualitative description & I request more please.

[@sachith123456]

Great video. I aways wandered how yawing takes place in B2...! Thanks.

[@---jc7pi]

On bombinb runs the B2 actually puts down the wing flaps and uses differental propulsion to control yaw.

[@psr1080]

This is a very good video packed with useful information, however the artificial voiceover is not pleasant and personally I'd rather struggle with a strong accent (maybe with subtitles) rather than the harsh digital voice and I'm sure it will result in more views since many people probably skip the video when they hear the voice - I very nearly skipped and I'm pleased that I didn't. Excellent video and information, thanks for sharing it!

[@toolowbrow]

Great video. Very informative.

[@maxxu8]

Thanks.

[@ab_ab_c]

It's a very clever wing design. It must have taken a genius a lot of thought & testing to realize all of the dynamics involved in such a design...

[@electronicsafrica]

pls make video showing how to build this model ;)

[@SGTMARSHALL1]

You failed to recreate the dihedral effect due to the " Flow through" design nacelles. The designer was too bright judging by those inefficient flaps and ratio of length to width

[@rltt379]

Awesome keep it up

[@gettingtired4664]

Robot at this time is improving, *they can make them own video.*

[@lochnersitzenbleiben2703]

I didn't like how wordy it was just to get over the 10min mark. It is still a very informative video.

[@jasondevine33mb]

How can IT work with circles flying machine

[@clopetrone]

Not only RC flying wings are possible , free flight flying wing models can be possible too

Thanks.

Gréât info new subscriber thank you Max, if your templates are available I am a buyer!

[@erikroggensack958]

I have honestly never heard a TtS voice as realistic as this. Good video.

[@beaclaster]

What does planes have in common?

[@beaclaster]

Fuselage

[@billywoods9192]

Gonna say washout is the secret before watching the vid.

[@billywoods9192]

Yup. The "twisted wings", as you call it.

[@theechocolatpapii4052]

Great vid, but some background music would be nice given this tts voice

[@AdolfusYitler]

Vertical fins or Rudder?

[@TheWizardGamez]

🤓

[@williambudd2850]

Theh secret is in making a coordinated turn. Just like in a hang glider.

[@picklewithinternet2254]

COME BACK PLS

[@arturzimplayerpro2573]

you got the wrong first plane, it was the 14-bis

[@rogerpha1398]

a bird does not have a vertivcal stabilizer

[@piketactical]

It's okay to just record yourself talking. I promise.

[@donfrancisbacarro9615]

The birds dont have vertical fins

[@Navoii.]

this reminds me of "aeiou"

[@Michael_Turner]

0:17 "(Robot Narrator) We have all seen some airplanes. Some of us have seen many airplanes." This video is going to be difficult to watch, and even more difficult to listen to.

[@Istandby666]

What is up with the robotic voice?

[@Bastlmartin]

Perfect explained. You can speak more slow so " poor English speaking people " like me -can better understand.

[@Dustf3llsans]

planes do not need tale fines try atrocraft
