Every time a cool idea dies because it was too loud, I yell "THEN MAKE IT A CARGO PLANE!"

@KnightRanger38 Год назад

Often the biggest issue is not the noise inside the plane - but the noise outside it.

@rolflandale2565 Год назад

Bombers had fantastic movie thriller debunk safety features. They were intended far more critical handling supply, so they are great for classic revive & approval, EVs & passengers services. With new ⛽ & 🔋mods.

@Reason077 Год назад

Cargo planes still often need to fly into regular city airports, and many are very sensitive about noise. So the same noise regulations apply.

I LOVED that game. Is there a modern equivalent?

@SAUBER_KH7 Год назад

@@HC-cb4yp not that I'm aware of. There are two games that are similar come to mind: The first one is sim airport. Although that one focuses on you building an airport in addition to hosting flights. Another one is transport fever 2. Although that one is more than just planes. You can pick a starting date anywhere between 1850 and 2000, though the earliest aircraft are available In 1920 onward. You can progress through the ages and unlock newer vehicles. Either one would be a good choice in my opinion.

Given the safety record of the DC-10 and MD-11 I don't know if I would have trusted that company to pack even more lives into their planes.

Regarding the FMA IA 36 Condor, specifically at 7:42, I'm pretty sure there was no plan to have *anyone* sitting in that part of the plane. I mean beyond the rear doors (only accessible when the engines are off of course), it seems far more realistic that that part of the cabin would've been exclusively for luggage.

@ecurtis5615 4 месяца назад

Indeed! Also I don't see that heat would've been an issue, since the exhaust would have been directed out of the rear & away from the fuselage...

@poodlescone9700 Год назад

An ekranoplane for Trans Pacific or Trans Atlantic routes makes the most sense. It takes much less gas to fly tens of feet above the water.

@bongodrumzz Год назад

The Ekranoplane for the Trans Pacific route would have been perfect, especially as its speed would allow it to outrun potential weather issues, high wave fronts etc. Lagoons built at various way stations in the Pacific in Tonga, Samoa and the Cook Islands for example, as well as Hawaii and the Philippines would clearly have been a way to bring tourism and its benefits to an ever growing economy there too, what's not to like?

The HS141 I think is the most fascinating because VTOL aircraft are still some of the most difficult to design and operate and yet when they do offer the most versatile operations possible especially in nations like Canada where most people live in very dense increasingly mega-sized cities spread out across vast distances... And yes please make a second video focusing on just SST projects both Commercial and Private as both have had their dizzying share of concepts all unbuilt thus far...

We need a video on possible future eVTOLs. There are apparently more than 100 startups, but most will probably never make anything. There are a number of interesting prototypes though. Probably a lot of work to make such an episode, as you have to make at least 4 CGI models.

IMO the FMA IA 36 Condor and SAAB 1073 have solid niches that could make a program successful if the designs were picked up by someone with the same determination as the Founder of Boom supersonic. The best part is being able to adapt existing tech instead of developing novel tech for the critical aircraft systems.

The Argentine Airliner might have been able to use asbestos as both heat and sound insulation, but they would need a lot of it. The Boeing 727, and L-1011 pulled similar stuff off. Granted that was with engines of a later generation. Argentina's shift makes me think, they could have gotten into the position Brazil got into with Embraer. Of course, the question is if the tech and market conditions could have lined up for them in that time frame as opposed to Embraer's. The Argentine jet was designed by Kurt Tank, who had designed the FW-200 Condor and the FW-190 Fighter in the 1930s and 40s.

It was one of the first concept aircraft I learned about while it was in development after catching some Discovery Channel special about future planes back in '01 and to me it still looks way cooler than any conventional aircraft we've gotten since. Course that's exactly the sort of reason why it didn't pan out, still I'm on the lookout for a nice model to own and hope that some flight sim developer somewhere has decided to put that beauty into their game for weirdos like me.

@antontsau Год назад

big planes (double and even triple deckers) all have the same problem - if something happens you have to transport corpses by dump tracks. No one will be able to jump out in time (90sec!) before it turns to fire and smoke grave. Its the reason why A380 was never made in single-class configuration with about 700 passengers onboard, even it required only seat reconfiguration.
