Great video well researched and thought out.

It is certainly possible to build a competitive non- warbird unlimited. The LS based Falconer V-12 engines could be gotten to a reliable 1,000 hp for racing. A twin fuselage carbon type airframe could be stable and strong and low drag. Spend enough money and you could do it

The kits are available for $125,000 actually. I emailed them a month ago

Basically it was a failure

Awfully presumptuous of you to say we "have never heard of" the Piaggio which has been around for nearly 70 years. Forget the Hype, stick to the facts.

Real best.

With the paint scheme and shadows, the plane at 3:14 looks so happy.

How may passengers including pilot, can fit into this. Egg? What is the everage price in the used market? Thank you

God I remember seeing these in Guernsey, the sound they made when the took off was just music to my ears😊 shame there gone now

First time i see one of those.

Now I want one.

Landing gear is a nightmare

but single seat would be even cooler

some one cutie some another beauty... some third both

I think this fanjet might have some problem when pilot need to run away when failure coming.

Loved the Aerovan. When one landed at Darwin (1970s) someone at our hangar said : "Nice packaging but it might look better out of the box"

Man what an awesome plane! Love the sound of those engines!

You could have stopped after Australian Aviation history

"Air Truck" that pretty much explains why it looks like it does.

So ... the P-51 is now boring ?

if only a handful remain, it's not really a testament to anything at all ?

I wish for a Mooney mite. I'd gladly pay the 4k$!

Ugliest airplane ever devised, and from an Italian with a heritage that style is Job 1. LOL.

Not it wasn't. This is a STC modification.

I WANT ONE ---WOW what a great bird -- I'm in LUV

Used them in New Zealand spraying and fertilizer delivery .

Lycoming engines. 🎶🎶

I'm here because of mad max, lol

Alison turbine? 250c20b?

Looks a lot like the Gremlin, an experimental parasite fighter that was supposed to hand from a bomber.

so this is where George Lukas got his inspiration from for weird spaceships

pretty

Stop designing planes with engines behind the center of gravity

The segment with the yellow engine cowling was N42W loving nicknamed "Stumpy" or as the passengers said 42Whisky is actually far too risky.

Worked heavily on 340-440-580's at Pt. Mugu Navy base in the 1990's...........loved the Convair!

One of our pilots, in SA, flew it and told me the Pawnee was a better handling aircraft.

why 2 seats side by side instead in tandem !!! ?????

I bet the CIA looked at the Airtruk for operations in Indo-China in the 70s. Human Insertions/extractions with extremely short, rough takeoffs. Covert CASEVAC, that sort of thing. The US Army might have considered its endurance and fuel economy for an Apocalypse Now like 'spotter'. Of course Americans would have gone with homegrown aircraft but they were certainly interested in alternatives.

"Imported from the United States..." Fella, at the end of WW2 (when you say Pellarini moved to Aus), the industries of the British Empire & Commonwealth had become inextricably linked with wartime production. Australia, New Zealand, Canada, India, South Africa and others. Australians were British citizens by right until 1949. Of course the Empire made aircraft and of course Australia used that technology for its own aircraft industry.

How hard is it to have a living person narrate these videos??

Thank you for the video I freaking Love odd ball plains like this

Close, but P38 or F4u were cooler

😮 p 51 mustang

I see it and all I can think is, "what are ya waitin' for? Kick her in the guts..." 😂

Cool video. But, uh, why is the CC burned in?

Nice 👍

Ducted fans are highly efficient.

Mustang,Spitfire, thunderbolt , mosquito,

Channel looks like cool, but I go away because ... WHY THE FU... you force Subtitles ....
