Rentta planes used cables and leverage directly for a long time, Then direct hydraulic controls, and eventually ‘fly by wire’ (electrical wire, not cables) meaning a computer was involved. All of these were to allow higher G and more precision control feedback than humans could provide.

@dankuchar6821 4 жыл бұрын

Trust vectoring is rarely used in a dogfight. It's most useful purpose is for engine efficiency in super cruise, at least that's what the engineers have said. Pilots may use it completely differently in a pinch! In a dog fight you typically want to keep your energy as high as possible, which means not slowing down. But thrust vectoring can be used for some radical maneuvers. But typically those are very dangerous and will usually get you killed by whoever is shooting at you because your speed just drops too low. Again these are generalizations so there's always lots of exceptions to the rules. For example, maybe you need to just get your nose around real fast on somebody so thrust vectoring may help with that, but modern missiles can shoot off bore with great efficiency so often that's not necessary. I guess it could be used when a gun fight. It would be great to hear from a modern pilot that uses thrust vectoring regularly!

@mobiuscoreindustries 4 жыл бұрын

I mean nowadays dogfight are pretty much useless due to the fact high tech missiles exist. They can outperform and out-track every one so fights usually happen kilometers away from one another. The only area where having a gun is even somewhat useful is in CAS roles (god bless the titanium bathtub) but it is mostly useful against people without effective AA (which still represent most of today's targets) and lose effectiveness when you are talking about fighting against missiles. To be fair I am somewhat interested to know why there isn't more long range missile platforms that shoot cruise missiles and araams from 40 km away. I mean at this point shooting the missile down with another missile is probably more effective than trying to dodge it.

@benstanden8784 3 жыл бұрын

Jealous! Great video :) Regarding the derivation of equations to calculate wing loading when in turns; in straight and level steady turns, the wing loading due to the angle of bank can be calculated by g=1/cos(theta), the increase in stall speed is V(s)=sqrt(1/cos(theta)). (where theta is the angle of bank). G-suits were used by the US in their P-51 and P-47 fighters from the later months of 1944 onwards, I don't think they ever became common use amongst the British in WWII - although I was unaware of them being used by Seafire pilots!

It caused 5,5G accelaration in passengers heart. This was overkill. Today, we considering the heart line. The heart line gives the path and any curves of the structure will be given. 5G vertical, 1,5G horizontal and 2G side accelaration is "ordinary". Great vid!

6:43 "In order to rack up high G's in the air, the plane needs to have two things: 1: A powerful engine capable of reaching a high airspeed" As a glider-pilot I feel offended. :D My plane has no engine at all and I have surely had pulled some high G's before. Only drawback is, that high G's (or rather the manouvers that cause them) cost a lot of kinetic energy, which a glider can only obtain with potential energy aka height. So pulling high G's equals loosing a lot of hard earned altitude. Anyway keep up the nice work! As an civil engineer and technical interested person myself I am realy enjoying your videos!

@ozzman1997 4 жыл бұрын

Your definition of “high G” is clearly not the same, lol...60 degree banks in a 172 at 100 knots only produce about 1.5 Gs, so I highly doubt that even those kinds of loads could be experienced in a glider.

@@ozzman1997 please don't just assume things. gliders are light and have a big wingspan which is able to generate quite some forces, so combined with the low weight quite some Gs.

Fun fact: Every game in the Ace Combat series has you pulling ridiculously unrealistic Gs, except Ace Combat 3. AC3's physics are more akin to a simulator, and the lower level planes are about as maneuverable as modern fighter jets, with the exception of more powerful engines. The later planes do get maneuverability which is much more extreme, achieving G forces outside the range the human body can tolerate, but even then, it's not inaccurate. The current fighter jets can handle much higher than 9 Gs, but are limited because of the pilots, and in AC3, the cockpit has you laying down in the plane, instead of sitting, which is a position in which the human body can tolerate G forces much easier.

Hey, I've got a great idea for one of your future videos: Energy regeneration for trains that run down long mountain passes. For example, there is the Cajon Pass in California that has a dozen heavy freight trains per hour that run up and down that part of the mountain. If they simply had some way to capture the energy of trains coming down that hill, and use it (or 50% of it, more likely) for the next train that is going 'up' the hill, a few million dollars of fuel per year could be saved by the railway companies. The best solution that I see for this is to have a few dozen specially modified 'pusher' electric locomotives that would be stationed at the top and bottom of the pass, with overhead wires on only that portion of the line, and those locomotives would not actually connect to the trains, they would simply be located at the downward end of the train and either 'push' the trains up the hills, or 'retard' the trains speed as they went down the hills, putting the recovered energy into the overhead lines to be used for other 'pusher' locomotives that will be going up the hill. You can buy old decommissioned locomotives for next to nothing at scrap yards and convert them to all-electric use very cheaply, no problem there. The only big expense will be the installing of the overhead lines and the waiting spur tracks at the top and bottoms of the pass.
