I must say these "first flying machines"series is very entertaining to watch, so how about something a bit harder: The Pescara helicopter(1922-1923) one of the first attempts of a modern helicopter with quite a legacy with few world records and a tech used today like counterrotating rotors.

In terms of counteracting torque, i believe it was done by the dihedral (the v shaped tilt of the wings). a plane with a dihedral has a natural tendency to stay straight because any roll inputs would result in uneven forces of lift on the sides, hence it always goes back to the centre. almost all planes have this feature but as seen in the painting, the dihedral was much higher in the 14-BIS in order to constantly counteract torque.

Being brazilian: I was surprised when people told me about the wright brothers because i was always taught about santos-dumont, i actually saw a replica fly at the Aeroclube De Bauru ( my hometown ) during a military event.

Scrap man I am freaking loving your new videos. The historical things, the bills, the stories, it's literally got everything and I really love what you've done with your channel. Please do more like this.

a bit of an explanation: before the days of fixed wing aircraft where we had metal wings, airplanes were made of cloth. thus, the first airplanes used 'flex wings'.(not related to flex tape). rather than add cuts and hinges to cloth and risk a tear, they instead bent the flexible wings ever so slightly so they could turn. this one has a box on the front that moves, so its pitch and yaw is obvious, but i think the wings themselves are flexing for roll. either that or it has no roll, seeing as the first airplane designers were thinking more in 2d, with turning left and right, but not thinking about flipping around since no ground vehicles needed roll before.

I love theese videos about replicas, giving backstories and some history while building and how accurate you can build them. I hope this format continues. Reading the comments it seems like it would take a while before running out of good ideas.

Hi Scrapman ! What about playing Kerbal Space Program ?

I'm brazilian and, if you look carefully, in the same youtube channel that you watched the 14bis's flight, there is a video that he explains that the intial flights of the flyer 1 didn't used any external tool to help the plane takeoff beside the rails, they invented the "slingshot" only on flyer 3 to make it easier, bcz in the desert where they flew, the wind change too often and they needed to keep changing the rails direction in order to takeoff oposite of the wind direction.

I'm loving this new series, where you make something from real life and then make it in Trailmakers or Scrap Mechanic, It reminds be of YDIB (You Draw, I Build)

You should Build the nemet parasol AKA the circular wing plane

First of all, yes I'm a brazilian and I studied these two as the some of the first flying machines. 0:45 :That's a very good brazilian channel made by an airfield mechanic that worked on the United Airlines, Lito Sousa. So, to start with, the diference between the two was their primarily function: -The Wright brothers wanted the comercial way, a machine to transport goods/people faster that they could use to make some good money. That's why there was so much secrecy about their design at the time, they wanted to get it patented without problems with knock-offs; -Dumont was a very rich inventor that liked flying machines, hence his passion for airships (that would be originally used to make the flight in order to win a prize for flying machines that existed at that time in Europe), so he wasn't caring about anything except making these machines. Indeed, because of his habit of sharing the blueprints in daylight midstreet, many others took advantage of his design and tecnology advancements to make their own. Basically, you can think of all this like: The brothers design was the first flying machine that was built and actually worked to sustain flight, while the Dumont's variant was the first proper airplane as we know today, and helped to create the first steps of the "heavier-than-air flight" industry.

Gotta love that Kosmo uploaded his trailmakers wright flyer vid first xD

The first /practical/ aircraft was Blériot's Type XI. It was very basic, but basically in layout a modern light aircraft, with a propellor at the front, straight wings, and a vertical fin and tailplane at the back. It had the great advantage over the Wright Flyer, 14-bis and other early aircraft that it was STABLE - Blériot basically only had to use the controls to point the aircraft where he wanted it to go, instead of fighting with it to keep it going in a straight line as was clearly the case with the 14-bis reconstruction in the video above. This was very important given his project of flying from France to England across more than twenty miles of cold water and a lot of shipping.

After a few more of these weird historical and theoretical flying creations, you should make a compilation video showcasing how all of them perform on the high seas map in low and strong wind conditions. Considering how many sails you have and how delicate some of their mechanisms are, it will probably end very badly, but would still be very interesting to see.....for science!!

Thank you for this story. I didn't know about it and all that stuff with the French is hilarious.

Now that we're talking planes, how about you build the biggest plane, made out of wood, which is the Hughes H-4 Hercules? It would be huge but mechanically shouldn't be. Scrap Mechanic or Trailmakers.

Well, you know you've made a good model of the original when you look at the original and go "Oh God why is it tipping like that when it takes off?" and then yours does the exact same thing lmao

0:53, This is not a modern replica, is a exact replica of the 14-Bis, even the silk is made for the same family of the original. He has cannard set up, you never heard about?

scrap man ! these historical videos are epic. love watching your brain at work and learning about history while learning the proccess of engineering design. fantastic stuff . keep at it dude

Kosmo recreated the first working solidwing plane in Trailmakers. Scrapman: Hold my 14-bis.

Really, a fantastic idea for a series. Loving this playlist. See you at number 1!

We can all agree that this plane is the most efficient shape

You made me and all Brazilians happy,thanks for the video. I will try to make it too,muito obrigado.

I love these videos, i can learn a bit of history and watch some great gaming content. keep it up!

its funny that Kosmo did a video on trail makers making the Wright Flyer just yesterday and now you're making the 14-BIS. and both of you built it on the Aircraft Carrier, which makes sense sense you need the runway, but I still found it a funny coincidence.

I remember this plane, because in history it talked about Santos Dumomnt's plane, he has other planes too.

It’s often who commercializes the invention who gets the credit. This funds the inventor for further refinements and mass production. The Wright Brothers had to try hard to convince the Army to buy their aircraft, but they did.

Learn history of engineering with Scrapman through videogame replicas is the series we never knew we needed

15:00 = when scrapman messed up at placing reccomendation

Your last 6 videos have been amazing keep it up

You even kept it historically accurate timeline wise, because Kosmo just made the wright brothers’ plane!

I think that would be really nice to see you playing Stormworks with the new updates

I love how this episode was a whole history lesson

I love these videos where you recreate stuff, brilliant. Thank you

The sample of history makes these builds so much better

Make the Ader Avion III, a steam-powered aircraft from 1897 (it’s such a strange looking machine, right?)

Just as extra information, because ScrapMan said he doesn't know where roll is coming from. The plane rolling is related to the interaction between the dihedral of the wings(tilt of the wings inwards like a V) and the yaw control. A dihedral wing formation naturally tries to centre the plane in level flight due to the centre of gravity being lower than the lift point. Introducing a yaw or vertical axis deviation causes the plane to twist to the side because its applying force on the centre of gravity below its pivot or lift point. The term used is called sideslip but i learnt this term much much later It may seem advantageous to minimize control surfaces like this and remove roll all together, but the twisting causes a drop of airspeed on the inner turning wing and this causes and overall drop in lift and speed, also, There's a tendancy for the plane to tip over if you keep trying to turn. Overall its not a very reactive way of turning. For years i've been building RC aircraft and when I first started I only build dihedral wings because I didn't have enough servos to control the wing surfaces so i'm intimately aware of this sort of turning method, its simple and works but limited in functionality Additional out of interest information; swept back wings (Wings that fold backwards like a V in a fighter jet) can also produce the dihedral affect when at the correct speed.

All right you win scrapman I give up I like the pun though "that's not wright" also I still think you should try to make a flying fish with sails for wings that is also a sub No.21

This is great idea for multiplayer monday! You make rules as you race

In the words of Real Civil Engineer this is only the strongest shape.

Being a french person I fully understand that we really messed up in the whole 14-bis thing but it's still funny how you react to that 😂

Getting a trailmakers ad before a trailmakers video

FINALLY, SOMEONE GIVES THE LOVE 14-BIS DESERVES

Hi ScrapMan you should try to build in Scrap Mechanic a very long train on physics 1 I have tried and it works fine

I love these recreations of strange historical vehicles, and now I can only hope to see ones such as the Coleopter, Rotodyne, or Ekranoplan!

I love the fact that Kosmo recently has build the Wright brothers one in his chanel

1:40 There is very little roll control, the wings are angled like that so that the plane automatically rolls to a horizontal level without any input from the pilot

Scrapman you have struck gold for content

Now do a race of pioneer vintage airplanes Like... the scrapman 14 bis and the kosmonaut wright flyer!

You should build the Fokker Eindecker E.III, one of the earliest monoplanes as far as I'm aware

I was literally about to comment to comment "Were the Wright brothers right. Build the right flyer with the same mechanics and design and see how or if you can improve it

since u are on planes now, make the first ever plane (i guess) made by Shivkar Bapuji Talpade, considered to be made in 1895

I'm Brazilian and I need to say, a slingshot is not an airplane

I'd like to see an attempt to build a strandbeest. A windpowered walker which may be doable but there could be some limitations in Trailmakers to work around but idk.

Little known history fact It took the world 66 years to go from flying the first flight to going to the Moon, to put that into perspective the chariot (and chariot like designs) was the best form of Transport for thousands of years

Loved that Wright brothers pun in the video picture (I forget what its called)

Maybe do a replica build competition. Choose a random historical craft ground/air/water and compete to recreate it.

Some airplane ideas that might be interesting: Nemuth Parasol, its like a plane, but the wing is a circular plate above the driver. My next suggestion is: Alexander Lippisch's Aerodyne, the whole plane is the engine!

Would love to see Jacob Brodbeck's 1865 Airship that was said to have risen twelve feet in the air and traveled about 100 feet before crashing.

go back to welcome ladies and gentlemen back to another episode of trailmakers

who bulid the first plane: Germany: Otto Liliebnthal ("Normalsegelapparat", technical a glider in 1893). Brasilia: Alberto Sontos Dumont (14-BIS in 1906) World: Wraith Brotherth, (first Gliders in 1899, planes with motors in 1903)

A New Zealander named Richard Pearse was also the first to fly a plane, 6 months before the wright brothers.

I know this probably won't be a frequent occurrence, but I must say I do quite enjoy these more educational videos! Would love to see more of them, but I can almost guarantee I'm among the vast minority of people who actually enjoy learning on KZfaq.

Great work bro

you deserve so many more views and subscribers.

If you ever watch a detailed Wright Brothers story, they also had a specific criteria for first. Because the French did get something up in the air that was heavier than air, but it had no roll, couldn't make banking turns. At least that's what I remember

please continue this series with the new aviation update!

Amazing pun for the thumbnail there ScrapMan.

Scrapman can you do under water ceeations pls. Love your vids bro

The first manned flight watched by a crowd was the 3rd flight of the wright flyer 11903

I don't know much about trailmakers, but could you have used two helicopter engines, one going left while the other goes right? This could possibly balance out the torque that the first engine gave.

Im actually Brazilian, so I always knew about this story (I loved this video)

Um abraço vindo do Brasil! Adoro seus vídeos! And.. yeah, brazilian speak portuguese

You should make a car that moves with peristalsis movement like a worm! I would love to see it! love the vids keep up the good work!

History lessons with Scrapman

The pun in the thumbnail was pretty good

The absolute Chad energy of France creating those rules is just amazing

Hey scrapman next time you do a best builds video try searching hover heli and see what comes up

You need to have a dog fight or something with Kosmo and his Wright Flyer

Next time on Scrapman Re-creates Flying Vehicles, the Waist-Strapped Jet-Belt!

I think the roll is coming from the angle of the wings. Like as it tips the lowest one might create more lift than the opposite one pointed to the sky.

I really like this kind of replicating thing!

11:10 the turning right thing also happens on mine computer, my plane was completly fine until i added the propellers, then the same thing occured, so i don´t think this is a sail bug.

I'am from Brasil and i wasn't sepecting for this, this video it's a surprise (Sorry by my english)

I love the pun in the thumbnail😂

i love the "historically accurate" series!

4:45 under its own power, If that is "engine power" then separating from the dolly shouldnt disqualify :P

1:55 How he just loses his hat mid flight 😂

I think the 14 bis didn't use roll control in a dynamic sense since the large dihedral angle of the wings would have acted to passively stabilize it in a level position. Given that the pilot flew it while standing they probably didn't WANT it to roll, and just used the forward canard to control flight via pitch and yaw exclusively.

there was a Farmer in New Zealand who also made a plane before the Wright brothers, however it wasn't publicized, and so he wasn't credited for it.

"If you are losing the competition, just make your own rules" that sounds sooo french XD

This is a really cool build but I have a new challenge for you and that is to make a blimp using the new sails.

There is a theorie that Gustaf Weißkopf built and flew the first plane. And he was German. He also did it earlier that the writght brothers, but there are no fotos of the actual flight. So the first documentet flight was from the wright brothers. The plane is called: Condor Nr. 21 He flew it in early 1901 so technically two years before the Wright brothers. The plane looks very interesting, so you could try to build it!

MORE!!! Love it.

The fact that 14-bis looks like a normal plane but flies backwards makes me extremely uncomfortable and my brain scream in agony

I like how the first 5 minutes is a history lesson lol

Roll on early planes was achieved by twitsting the wings. Since they were made of wood and fabric it was easy to do.

It could be argued that an airplane needs to be able to take off under its own power (not externally assisted) to qualify as an airplane, but I still consider the Wright Flyer to be the first. It differed from the many attempts at gliders and other flying machines from years before in the sense that it had a working engine, prop, and a way to control it, and it had full control over yaw, pitch, and roll, and it was able to sustain flight. The 14-bis is a historically-significant aircraft, and the Brazilian and French contributions to the aviation world should not be forgotten, but they have plenty of other things to be proud of instead of a false record based on completely arbitrary criteria.

Hi ScrapMan I have a question : why didnt you put two counnter rotating helicopter engines without any weights or air resistance when trying to use the helicopter blades as a propeller just asking because the 4 small propellers are a bit less accurate to the original

2:38 mekes sense Its way easier to prove something witnessed by a huge crowd than something only a few people in a secret place seen
