Re: the Do-335 Pfeil The one surviving Do-335 is, as the vid says, on display at the National Air & Space Museum. It took many years to restore this aircraft to its current condition. After its capture by the Americans in 1945, the plane was transported by ship to the United States for technical evaluation. Since it was a conventional piston plane the main point of interest was the ejection seat. The plane was partially disassembled during evaluation and study and was not re-assembled until it was acquired by the museum in the 1970s. During the restoration process, the conservators discovered that the detonation charges and explosive bolts intended to blast away the rear prop and the upper rudder assembly in the event of a bailout situation were still in place and armed almost thirty years after the aircraft was built.

[@sloanemactire8780]

I came down to the comment section specifically to make sure someone had mentioned the exploding bolts. Though it wasn't the conservators at NASM who found that they were still there - in the 70's, the plane was sent back to Dornier to complete restoration by the same people who had built it thirty years earlier. Apparently, they had been joking saying, "Wouldn't it be funny if we found the explosive bolts still in..." and then realized it wasn't such a joke. (Or so the docents told me)

Sadly, that tells more of the mainstream TV than the quality of this video. Which WAS NOT BAD, don't get me wrong. But after the excellent BV glider beginning it goes sideways and talks about paper projects that did not fly - and in the intro it clearly states no paper projects. Worth a watch for the BV glider part alone, that was all new to me. I knew of the super mini plane planned under an arado jet but not one to be towed by a 109.

[@lomax343]

Good video. One minor point - turning the Me 321 into the Me 323 by adding six engines didn't "solve" the problem with it. The engines, plus their fuel, added weight, which severely reduced the cargo capacity. Although the lifting power of the Me321 remained considerable, it could not carry out the prime function of the Me 321 - which was designed to airlift tanks. Between them, the two aircraft represented a design dead-end.

[@wolf310ii]

Adding 6 engines solve the problem. The Me 321 was build for Operation Seelöwe, after the Operation was canceled, there was no more need to carry tanks. With the 6 engines alone, the cargo was reduce to 11t, but with the help of the RATO or a He111Z the Me323 could take of with 22t cargo

Aircraft have always meant a lot to me, because my father was a single-seat, single-engine jet fighter pilot, for over 20 years, mostly in the Virginia Air national Guard. As a captain, he had flown more different aircraft than any other captain in the US Air Force.

I had never heard of the Arrow, so thanks for that.

Unfortunately, without drag, you can't have lift, so they could not be the hoped for success.

T1mb3r Thats because sekrit dukumentz say so comerade))))))))))

[@sd501st5]

I hope you aren't expecting a propeller plane to get up to 700 kph at sea level... because that's simply not possible, not in the thick air at low altitude... you've got to get to higher altitudes to reach the given top speeds for every single piston engined, propeller driven plane. Fully upgraded, and at around 6-7km altitude, none of the Do 335's in the game have any problem getting up to 700 kph and higher in a straight line. Takes a few minutes if you do it by just flying straight of course, but you can always expedite that by climbing a bit more and then going into a shallow dive, leveling out once you reach your top speed. Note also, these values are True Airspeed (TAS, simply SPD in the game), not Indicated Airspeed(IAS). Handling wise, it's not that bad actually... rolls great at all speeds, rudder is a bit stiff but oh well. The elevator is actually really strong and can put the plane in some high G turns, but then comes the only really irritating part about the planes handling... the elevator might be strong, but it's responsiveness is... well, it feels like it's asleep. It takes about a second for it to really react, which is why getting guns on target is somewhat difficult. -_- I've got to test the Do 335 on full realistic with joystick/throttle/rudder pedals some time... it could be that the instructor is messing up on that flight model, like it did on so many others in the past before they got adjusted.

In addition I hear 1 or maybe 2 kidney punches at the cable History Channel and the 1 in this video was top shelf. To the point that even my wife laughed at it and she doesn't care for military history at all.

[@Delecrome]

This video is so cool! My second favorite plane is actually the Do-335!

[@samfosdick9874]

Loved the "dig" on the History Channel!

[@joshuasingletary9703]

I think your work was worth it that vid was great

[@DataRew]

I grew up loving the DO-335, and getting to see it at the National Air and Space Museum at Dulles.

[@davenezrapappas4589]

Loved it man! Excellent video.

[@DeltaDS]

4:44 not gonna lie, that's exactly what I thought this video was, but you earned my sub!

[@peterbarta1444]

Fantastic video. If I wasn't already subscribe to this channel I would definitely be clicking subscribe right now. I have watched many top weird German prototype planes videos and almost didn't watch this one because they're all the same but definitely glad I took the time to watch this one. Fantastic video.

[@armenio1947]

Great video, excellent work. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@samuelmay4823]

Brilliant work! Love that arrow

[@tsuipoko]

very informative and good parallel examples

[@TheIronArmenianakaGIHaigs]

I'm glad you liked the video :D

[@larrygall5831]

I would love to see the Arrow fly.. I'd love to hear the sound it made darting across the sky..

[@affordableairgunningbyjb6994]

Great Video with interesting Facts given. Thanks for the effort !!

[@thefonz2566]

Your comment about what has become of the history channel was so correct. It made me laugh.

[@randybentley2633]

One of the things that gets me about the Flying Flapjack is why didn't they replace the prop propulsion version with a jet set up. Without the need for those huge props, a tricycle landing gear arrangement could have been used instead. It would have definitely had longer legs than any of the other jets at the time.

[@breakermorant2428]

Because they did not have computer aided control. I worked at Vought and got to work with old guys that flew F4Us, A7s, F8s etc. and worked on the pancake. The plane would be viable to build and fly today, they had a jet powered one on the boards, but practicality of such a design, even with computer control, has been supplanted by technology.

[@petergray2712]

Breaker Morant Let me supplement your remarks: one of the advantages of prop engines is that the torque generated by large, multiple propellers add stability to certain aircraft. The Flying Flapjack and the Northrop YB-49 (The first flying wing) were both inherently unstable designs that were made to work because of the installation of multiple propeller engines. When they were converted to jet engines- with their small diameter and lightweight turbine fans- their instability could no longer be compensated for, and they became too dangerous to fly. Computer flight control would not be introduced until the late 1970s, so these designs quickly became orphans.

[@MrMarinus18]

Well actually they couldn't. The propellers were crucial to the design. The problem with the design is that the air slips over the short wings which limits lift. The propellers are so large and so far away from center to help push the air back onto the wings. That's also the reason the propellers are so large.

[@thelonious2213]

One of your videos, specifically the first that you recommended at the end of this video, was made unavailable...do you plan on re-making it? I saw it once and I remember that it was a pretty darn good and interesting episode. Also, what do you think was the problem?

[@chopFM]

loved this video, thanks for you efforts with this :)

[@reganmahoney8264]

The last Do335 Dornier Arrow is a beast of an aircraft! I saw the last remaining one at the Smithsonian’s Udvar-Hazy Air and Space Museum in Chantilly, VA.

[@TheBeardyPenguin]

Where do you get your archive footage from?

[@0831tony]

Google i guess

[@nukedgamer9666]

Www.luftwaffe.com

[@nukedgamer9666]

TheBeardyPenguin I forgot which website was just look something like that up

[@nighpaw4651]

TheBeardyPenguin hi beardy love your vids

[@nothinghere.6050]

[@MrHanske2]

Hod up, "after being thrown into the air" Are we talking thrown as in throwing a baseball? Also, great video as always, this is what should be shown on the history channel instead of all that garbage.

[@TheIronArmenianakaGIHaigs]

Think of a large model plane around 1m long.

[@MrHanske2]

Ahh, i must've heard you wrong in the video. My compliment still stands.

[@TheIronArmenianakaGIHaigs]

I'm glad you liked the video. Self prom if you like this video. I have a playlist of other videos like it here : kzbin.info/aero/PL3dMS27Tsqmolt4BSGZSLBbK4MC4FK2pU

[@MrHanske2]

I unfortunately don't need that playlist as i have already watched those videos, atleast once.

[@vladdraculLV]

These planes remind me of those airplane games that I played in the arcades of the Strikers1945 series. it is amazing how these planes that appear in the video look like those that appear in the game and the level bosses.

[@artawhirler]

Excellent video! Thanks!

[@GeoffChisholm]

Re: the BV 40, "Flights wouldn't have been too long." *No* doubt about that, lol

[@tylerbonser7686]

didnt know about the glider at the beginning. Well done

[@military-vehicles]

Interesting information about those V1 rockets!

[@northwoodsrailproductions4538]

You should do videos like this for the other major countries like America and japan

[@evanduty5320]

The idea of manned pulse jets always interests me

[@fredygump5578]

Sounds like a Colin Furze idea

[@noelblack8159]

Kamakaze V-1?

[@Horus_the_Lupercal]

The AS-6 reminds me of the flying pancake. There is one on display in Dallas, near Love field.

[@colvinator1611]

Excellent video! Very interesting and good presentation. Thanks a lot.

[@AZHighDesert2]

I loved the old history channel

[@TheIronArmenianakaGIHaigs]

+AZHighDesert i miss it to

[@treystephens4490]

Now it's shit.

[@8ballentertainment.885]

Yeah, especially dogfights. That show was the best

[@wmfife1]

I really enjoyed this video as it was well-researched and informative. W.W. II was a time of seismic changes in aviation technology beginning with biplanes based on W.W. I concepts and ending with jets. I do want to take issue with one point you made however- referring to twin-engine propeller aircraft. Where did you hear that all twins had contra-rotating props? Admittedly some do and did as early as 1939 with the P-38 Lightning, (with the exception of the ones produced for lend-lease which the Brits understandably did not like) but it was a new concept and one still not universally used. The problem with that design was in high-performance designs like a fighter or fast transport when one engine fails suddenly during takeoff the plane will torque-roll like right *now *... giving the pilot barely a second to react if that. Splat. Bad day at the office as we would say.. Twins with same-direction-of-rotation engines (as the vast majority have) are much less dangerous in that setup as only direction of flight is affected and the first response is to add rudder while setting trim into the good engine and feathering the failed one, a procedure most trained pilots can handle without mishap. Still liked the video and if you have any more good stuff to pass along I'll be there. Keep 'em coming!

[@Ranjuw]

i just realized that you play with phly well nice to see that you do these vids :)
