Smallest Mini Aircraft in the World Part 2
Рет қаралды 7,869,467
Күн бұрынToday we are going to show you the smallest mini aircraft in the world part 2. Because you liked our first video smallest mini aircraft in the world with engine and pilot so much we decided to create a part 2. We even found some more insanely small mini aircraft this time, which will amaze you. If you like flying car or handmade vehicles that are quite special like the stuff colinfuze creates you came to the right place. All of the mini aircraft come with an engine and can be operated by a pilot. Some of the mini aircraft engine are in the ultralight aircraft category and some are even compliant with the Part 103 regulation which means you can fly those mini planes without a license in the US aviation.
Would you fly such a small airplane? Tell us in the comments below!

That was a hatchet job on Benson at the end. They have been around forever and its actually quite safe. An autogyro is safer than a helocopter because it is autorotating all the time. If it loses the engine, it just comes down to the ground at a reasonable speed.
@markswinford4806 2 жыл бұрын
I thought the same damn thing. An autogyro is always in autorotation (as opposed to a helicopter) and like you said, if the engine quits the air is already flowing upwards thru the rotor disk. A helicopter has to transition to autorotation mode if the engine quits, the air is flowing downward thru the rotor disk normally. The accidents that have happened for autogyros usually are related to pilot error, not the fault of the machine. But it is fun for people to make videos and hype things they are clueless about.

It's definitely a great feature for a small aircraft. However, I'm curious about your thoughts on the other mini aircraft on the list. What makes them less safe compared to the Gyrocopter in your opinion?

I have seen and known the builders and pilots of those Gyrocopters. They tell stories about their flights with incredible visibility of the ground, slow flight stability, and economical operation. Many survivors of disasters have reported being passed over by search airplanes or helicopters and were never seen because the of pilot's limited view of the ground.

The Opensky turbine inside a duct arrangement looks incresasing efficiency. Any specific comment about this? Would a PulseJet do same task at similar fuel economy? Reducing size in turbines greatly reduces its efficiency. Why an 'A' type of rudder is not used in machines such as 'Wilkex Subsonex'? Contrarily to Beechcraft 'Bonanza' 'V' tail, it would induce roll in right sense when banking. The Bugatti airplane that crashed because of a 'flat 8' knot in aileron cables was arranged this way.

You talk about the gyrocopter as if it was made by one manufacturer and never caught on. They towed unpowered versions of these behind U-Boats during WW2 so they could get someone up high to take a good look around. After the war several manufacturers made them with engines and it can be seen in one of the Bond movies (You only live twice?) . That one was the Wallace Autogiro. Note: the rotor blades are never powered. The engine at the back is purely to give it some forward motion to make the rotor blades spin in the wind and provide lift.

@markswinford4806 2 жыл бұрын
@@radicalrick9587 Actually, you are totally wrong. The engine is driving a pusher prop with no shaft power going to the main blades. A gyrocopter does not power the main blade set, the blades are free spinning, and auto-rotate. Much like a maple leaf falling from a tree, which is auto-rotation as well. Proof of what I say is shown right in the video, where the pilots are hand rotating the blades, to get them to start moving. This is prior to "dragging the runway" to get the blades spinning even faster. Once in the air, the pusher prop keeps the blades spinning (overcoming their inherent drag). A helicopter needs a tail rotor since the engine puts torque to the main blades, and the main blades in turn would try to spin the helicopter itself.

I would definitely feel more secure in an autogyro/gyrocopter, than any of these dodecacopters or tiny fixed-wing things that can stall. The Open Sky "Mowe" (seagull) wasn't really made to be a "people mover" but it would be something to get around on. Early versions were gliders, either elastic or towed launch just to get out of GE above the runway. The later model was tested that way, before flying. There are videos of all the testing they did, so they've been very methodical. They finally took it to OshKosh. Of course the one the girl in the movie rode had empty weight under 30 kg, never needed fueling, was VTOL capable, apparently had a very smart AI autopilot, made and powered with unobtanium.

The author of this vid needs to do a bit of homework. The Benson Gyro was a GREAT and VERY SAFE Gyro. Thousands of them were made and Mr. "Benson" was the demo pilot. The ONLY problem, like in most things, is the LACK of education from the pilot. Gravity is easy to understand. Density Altitude is a bit more complicated and THAT was the killer. People stalled the rotor NOT understanding how the lift was created in different situations. Too bad too. I LOVED flying it.

@@solomonjenkins9505 Paragliders are actually quite safe. The canope is built in such a way that collapses take away energy and reopen automatically.

In combination with a motor strapped to your back you can take off practically everywhere, aldn everywhere and spend hours in the sky. A sport that, when done with common sense, is the cheapest and lightest way to get into the air and to fly, even cross-country.

Question to the glider's pilots. Is it possible to fly to wherever you want on a glider with a small jet engine. You glide most of the time and only use the engine as a booster to re-position your glider to the upward airstream to higher altitude, where your glider could make the most to glide further ? then repeat the process until you get to the destination.
@RobinHartJones 2 жыл бұрын
Yes. Many manufacturers have made gliders with small engines. Some are just perched above the fuselage but the nicest ones have engines that retract into the fuselage when not being used so it still has nice clean lines for maximum performance as a glider. Often the engine is two stroke with no starter or throttle and only just powerful enough to maintain altitude but some (see ASH-26e) can also take off and climb and then would probably have a battery and starter and throttle . It is also not a 'weird' experiment, most top glider manufacturers include a self-sustaining model in their range. It should be noted that if it has a fixed propellor in the nose and an engine powerful enough to take-off and fuel for a reasonable powered journey then it is usually termed a touring motor-glider which is slightly more towards a light aircraft that can glide well (see SF25 Motorfalke)
@azza-in_this_day_and_age Жыл бұрын
i think the glide function relies on weight, so adding a motor would ironically reduce the gliding capability and require engine use
@euteo Жыл бұрын
@@azza-in_this_day_and_age You think wrong. Weight affects the speed at which the glider would stall but not the glide ratio. All modern gliders have tanks that are filled with water before taking off intentionally to move the best glide ratio speed as high as possible. One problem related to weigh is the positioning of this engine but due to the center of mass which will be affected and would require countering on the other side of the plane from where the engine is mounted. Another problem is the one of being able to retract the engine or propellers back inside the fuselage when not in use - because they would destroy the aerodynamic profile of the glider and act like an aerodynamic brake. In any way, these things already exist. Even jet propelled glider.
@euteo Жыл бұрын
@WanderingShadow100 - that would not work as you expect. Gliders still are required by law to have a minimum of electronics on board (Radio, transponder) these are powered by a battery that is not super light. An engine would require it's own separate one to function, and unlike a normal plane where the engine runs continuously, recharging it's battery as it runs, battery being used mostly at engine startup, a glider that stops and starts it's engine midflight multiple times would put a big strain on that battery, that would not be recharging while the engine is stopped. And you might find yourself in the situation where before you finish your journey, you are low and plan to start the engine to do a climb, but the engine will not start.

A thirty five hp brushless motors is going to be at least 11” inches in diameter in one style or a little longer but smaller diameter, about the size of a large coffee can. Those motors seen weren’t much bigger than a hockey puck.
