Some of the most interesting planes were churned out during World War 2.

@VikingTeddy 22 күн бұрын

And the best looking jets were from the early cold war, before they had quite figured out the optimal shape. The most scifi looking jets are all from the 50s and early 60s. After that, they start resembling eachother.

Also, it wasnt suited to flying the pacific cause of fuel. Had a very good range with drop tanks. What it lacked was redundency. In a p38 over pacific, you lose an engine, you fly home a little slower. 51 loses an engine, unless youre near an island, youre about to get wet

The information on the Stratolaunch is by now outdated. After the death of the owner in '19, they no longer pursue rocket launching. They've instead been used as a launcher for the Talon-A. So I guess it's better to delay a video than accidentally post outdated facts. We're in no hurry. Quality over quantity is why we're here 😊

@jgar611 21 күн бұрын

You need to see " The Wing Will Fly" a Documentary of Jack Northrop's Flying Wing concept. Pay special attention to test pilot Cardinas who refused to do stall tests because power stalls of the airframe type can cause a spin that causes the plane to rotate along the long axis of the 172 ft wing at an rpm rate that will pin the pilot to the seat making it impossible to raise his arms due to.them being pinned to the seat by centrifical force. Cardinias recovered the spin because the spin he was in was in the opposite direction and his arms were forced AWAY from the pilot seat, whereas Glen Edward's arms were forced INTO the pilot's seat. Also, it was said Edward's co-pilot was flying it at the time.

@jgar611 21 күн бұрын

Oh, yes. I forgot to mention that due to the shape of the YB49 the ENTIRE AIRFRAME WAS INVISIBLE TO THE RADARS OF THE DAY. This airframe design shape is naturally INCREDIBLY STEALTHY. Duplication by the USSR in the 1960's would have destabilized the Cold War. In other words, without modern radar, and with the Norton bombsight stabilizer Northrop devised, this bomber could have delivered Nuclear Weapons into the USSR with NO advance detection. Thus, it had to be NOT developed. The USSR had to be convinced that the airframe was NOT successful. Three reason why this fuselage design not used on commercial airliners today it's because it would be impossible for air traffic controllers to know where they were at. If not impossible, it would be very difficult to keep track of them.

Double fuselage jets can carry small shuttle space planes for quick rescue missions to low orbit space ships or space stations. The only set back is that the small shuttles must carry a disposable solid rocket booster stage to escape to orbit.

Like many military aviation nerds I love the P-51 mustang. As for the twin mustang I have always been extremely confused by it. It would make a little more sense if they took two mustangs and simply stuck them together but these planes were built from the ground up. It would seem to me if you're going to do that then an original design would probably serve you better for a twin boom aircraft.
