20 Smallest Mini Aircraft In The World 

The comment, “when an airplane loses one of its engines, it’s going down like a stone” is incorrect, misleading, and irresponsible. You are obviously not a pilot.

3:12 and the cover pic are NOT REAL. The least they could have done is connect the props and make them the right size. Another fake. You're a fool if you believe many of these are real.😂

The Russian one seems to be a AI generated image.

Yes. The Russian one is an obvious fake. Just look at propellor blades closely. I think you’ve been had.

Too much RC aircraft footage

The McDONNELL XF-85 ‘Goblin’ was designed to work with the B-36 during the Cold War, not WW2. The F-84 on the trapeze was the proof-of-concept for the FICON (Fighter Conveyer/Fighter in Convair) project which combined an Republic RF-84K reconnaissance aircraft with a Convair GRB-36D reconnaissance bomber. This bizarre system was actually operational for about a year in the mid-1950s, but was made redundant by the U-2 and satellite program. The F-84 on the wingtip of the B-29 was part of project Tip-Toe, another attempt to provide B-36s with escort fighters. The theory was sound, attaching the F-84 to the B-29 wingtip actually improved the left efficiency of the B-29 wing. Project. Was cancelled after instability in flight saw an F-84 roll/crash onto the B-29 wing, the crash killing all on board both craft. The other problem was the F-84 pilot would be stuck in his cockpit for 24-36 hours (B-36 missions tended to be long), so his combat effectiveness was questionable.

IF THE SINGLE ENGINE FIGHTERS HAD CONTRA ROTATING PROPS AND THEY HAD THOUGHT OF THE IDEA IT WOULD HAVE GONE MUCH FASTER IN SPEED AND OUT MANOUVERD THE GERMAN PLANES THAT THE GERMANS HAD AT THE TIME

Many multi-engine aircraft can fly and land safely after losing an engine. That is the whole point of flight test, to build something that can cope with mechanical failure.

Have you ever played the game ''Spot The Difference'' | Time stamp 3:15 Everything about those engines is wrong, the props aren't centered and there's 2 propeller blades that are NOT on the propeller spindles.- it's quite comical! | Time stamp 4:00 You said ''the other issue is at the nose of the craft, the designers apparently tried to make a craft so small that they were forced to have some of the *engine parts* and devices stick out...'' | It's obvious that the engines are under the wings, not in the nose! I built model airplanes when I was a kid!

The 11th : spacek sd-1 minisport...comes with supposed to be high end instrument...like engine monitoring and a distress radio beacon... Both are just mandatory on airplanes...

Almost all of these aircraft will be labeled as Experimental aircraft because it is a requirement in the US to do so. The only way to not do so is to get it certified through a very long and expensive process with the FAA. Most of these aircraft are either in the development stage (not yet to the point to start the certification process), or they are home/kit built. All kit built aircraft are required to be labeled as experimental.

Coors ran a BD5J around airshows in the 80s dubbed, the Coors Silver Bullet.

Bally's Bomber, the Amazing flyable Mini B-17 should have been included in this list.

Most (but not all) tiny aircraft makers are lots of hype with over promising and underdelivering. That's why so many are out of business, some without even making one flying model. Imagine if they all just figured out how to under promise and over deliver instead.

many of the images and video are not of real aircraft, but screen grabs from simulators, models, or AI generated images. the fact that the narrator is making up stories about them is appalling.

It isn't "acrobatic" in aviation, except in unfortunate instances. Only in ground contact sports. Rather, it is aerobatic.

15:40 Goblin was ordered 1 month after World War II was over and flight testing began in 1948 according to the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force.

Yes the Russian aircraft is photo shopped those are jet engines they don't have props

The "Russian plne" is in fact simply a ground-only craft for drawing attention at events. The CriCri is actually French slang for Cricket.

2:50 that clearly is not a plane but the result of AI The footage of the cri-cri shows 3 different planes: -the original cri-cri -the jet cri-cri -the electric version.

Sorry I stopped watching after the second plane shown was clearly an AI image but the narrator continued to talk about it like it was real.

Hi Fancy 🍌. Some awesome lil ✈ ✈. Thank you for the wonderful video

The one single blade on the back of the engine would sever the connection between the engine and the wing. Engine is in the front? WOW RU-vid. YOU'LL LET THEM PUT ANY ON TO MAKE A BUCK AS LONG AS ITS not guns. .

Why in #13 ur talkin' about small manned planes but all ur showin' is RC planes. 🤔 Did those planes actually fly?

A Gremlin is at the AF museum in Dayton, Oh.

I want a Cri Cri!

4:18 I see a life size Ancient Aliens Vib.

6:40 *#18 Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind.*

Those were a combination of storage panel covers/interior heating/oil radiators that close into the fuselage.

You might consider the Mooney Mite.

The Gyrocopter was also used in a James Bond movie. You Only Live Twice.

Unlike what the narrator stated, the single-seat Sonex jet aircraft is the absolute worst place to begin to get your “pilot’s wings”. This aircraft is for experienced pilots only. It is a single-seater. There is no place for the instructor to sit. And, you can not fly solo without an instructor’s endorsement unless you already have a pilot certificate.

THE DC-3 CAN EASILY FLY ON ONE ENGINE DUE TO THE WING CONFIGURATION IT'S BEEN TESTED AND PROVEN WHERE AS THE DC-2 MAY NOT BE ABLE TO FLY ON ONE ENGINE ACCORDING TO TEST RESULTS

A twin-engine aircraft does not drop out of the sky if it loses power in one engine. And, you do not need thousands of hours of flight time in order to pilot it safely. Many people start their multi-engine training with around 100-200 hours of flight time. Most of that training time is spent with one of the engines not used.

Fancy topic ... this has to be an AI image

The Equator P2 Xcursion is not an all electric aircraft. It is a hybrid aircraft with a fossil fuel powered range extender engine. That is how it gets its power and range specs.

so who has the "jet pack" that keeps buzzing air liners on LAX final aproch? a block away from SpaceX?

Almost all powered aircraft flying in the US are required to have that “special tracking beacon” in the aircraft. Gliders an exception to this federal regulation.

Kittyhawk, a name often used for airplanes and occasionally aircraft carriers.

#fancytopic: AI generated picture.

Russian plane is actually a jet with (badly) photoshopped props , and bees honeycombe .

Number two is an AI generated image

Most of these planes, you can't get your hands on because these never went for production, not even as kits. I would regard the CriCri the Subsonex Jet end the BD5J as real aircrafts... most of the others are nowhere to be seen.

I like how that f$%k ugly flying blue Yugo has 3 blades mounted in front of the engine nacelle, and the fourth blade is actually mounted behind.

Seeing the subsonex as 20th is a joke.

At 3:12. This is a bad AI generated image. That you can't see that or won't reveal it makes ALL credibility go out the window.

I've never heard anyone try to pronounce "EVTOL" before. And someone below says it right--that click bait photo we all clicked on is either a joke or an embarrassment for the narrator.

The second is certainly an AI picture, not even close to real.

BDBD5G's ..... anyone know of a SOME ONE That took an old not complete kit, and put one of the NEW TECH MINI JETS IN IT ????? RE: FANCY TOPIC lol in RUSSA they do funny things... to get things done... ;) HEHE personally it kinda look like the PROPS are just that, props, not propellers, but ''movie props'' and those lil engines were spoosed to be lil jet engines.... that they didn't want peeps to kno its jets yet cuz the TECHNOLOGY WAS NOT THERE YET TO HAVE SUCH SMALL JET ENGINES but nowadyas there IS SUCH SMALLER JET ENGINES That very well could push this beasty around, but it neeeded to LOOK LIKE IT COULD FLY REALLY REALLY SSON and it ''wasn't flying yet'' but eh... had ot look like it COULD FLY REALLY SOON but not yet,,,, to keep the miney fundage incomming into the project....??? :) HEHEHE eh... it was CUTE... I wonder if it could be done up with todays techk, and carbon fiber or something? RE: FANCY TOPIC the mini twin people mover plane... which I can see a 4 or 6 seeter plane 2 engines, maybe even ''try to be amphibious'' ??? plenty fine on ski's cuz like ''winter there is pretty rough they say'' ;) :) HEHEHE BUT RE: FANCY TOPIC . I winder if todays tech, a couple of turbo916's ?? and TODAYS ELECTRONIC TECH so all that room issin't needed for the FULL DYNON or Garmin pack and the fancy digital engine monitor system... ;) lots leesss room I think it's a totally COOL AND CUTE LIL PLANE!!! :) and if it was AMPHIBIOUS even if it needed to land on go up a ramp not SIT ON THE WATER cuz like ... ummm eh TOTLLY COOL!!! or wordage to dat effectz!@! :) MUCH LOVE TO ALL !!! LOVE JOY COMPASSION

What’s with the AI generated click photo. Pretty messed up.🤣

One should turn the sound down and just look at the video, the narration is dodgy, too many false statements.

2nd picture aircraft is a.i (poorly) generated. Does the plane even exist ?

3:11 that’s bloody ai the engine is messed up

No 2 is an AI creation. Nice try but no cigar.

07:25 - I think he meant Protagonist! I'm 99% sure that he's referring to "Naussica" or "Warriors of The Wind" The Protagonist is a very young girl.who rides this jet thing as if it were a surfboard!!!

I've got a 1975 BD-10. I bought it as an incomplete kt and finished up. The engines are being gone through as they had set for decades and weren't properly stored. They are due back in June, and I hope to have it ready by July 4th. I love the fact that it looks like a small F-15, and it is supersonic.

Barnacles growing from a plane! Novel Idea but impractical and Plain Dumb🇨🇦😂

3:43 not just Ai but crappy Ai

The Russian Barnacle?

Electric airplane is not the answer for commercial aviation. Look at the 744 the takeoff weight is more than its safe landing weight. Now if you are planning to drop weight as you fly electric airplane is not going to work for commercial flights. Now if you look at aerostats then you are on to something. I would love to fly on an all electric aerostat aircraft. Now for those who don’t know about aerostats they are an airplane and a blip design so they are heavier than air but just so they need wings to fly. Now electric aircraft must have a half hour power reserve. So if you fly 2 hours to a place you must have 2 and a half hours of power to be allowed to fly in the United States. So if you can only power the aircraft for one hour you can only fly at for a half an hour bylaw.

3:19, looks like a failed AI image

Your number 19 is jet propelled . Someone photoshoped the props and the fungus on the body .

The crecre is Funny but it flyes😅

Though the last plane may seem cool to some people, and RC planes are fun as hell, it was pretty disappointing waiting all the way till the end to find out #1 was not a plane that can be piloted by a person. What was the point in that? You " thought it would be nice to show us something different"? There are a TON of RC aircraft videos out here for people that want to see that. Switching it up at the very end was really disappointing. That's like viewers going to a car show to see rare cars, and at the very last minute someone unveils a bicycle....🙄

Hi! Bless you all

It's a jet

CLICKBAIT video - Be warned.

there is no such thing as an "electric engine." It's an electric motor. Do some research.

3:30 ... that's not an airplane ''banana''... that's an A.I generated image... and a terrible one!... just look at the props!... one prop is on the back of the engine [among other ''crazies''...]

The Wright brothers made their aircraft in Ohio.

4:08 yeah, the engines aren’t in the nose. This is the dumbest excuse ever.

The R2j is Strang but it flyes

The narrator really should speak better English and some of the content is inaccurate. A shame because it's a very interesting topic.

Leave it to the asians to think up a crazy idea then they go and make a real version based off a cartoon.

wtf? #3, the engines were in pods. Nowhere near where the protrusions were. It looks as if you're just making stuff up to meet the video length. Not worth watching, for what I suspect are perfectly false presentations.

LOL The worst photo shop job ever

Even the Russians aren't stupid enough to design an aircraft with "engine" parts protruding out from the fuselage. Looks like a failed Photoshop project.

Jetson

very bad AI on the cover pic check the props , but of course you already knew that. You get more money if ye get more comments

The Gee Bee made in 1932. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Granville_Gee_Bee_Model_R_Super_Sportster

What Anime?

Thanks for not knowing what that is.

4:13 That is obviously a very badly AI created image of a airplane that do not exist, and it is very weird to just make up a backstory to a plane that do not exist. I stopped watching after that....

What’s with the AI

Channel blocked for pushing uploader's lies!

What happened to twinkle your Guinea pig?

This is just garbage, clickbait and AI pictures🤮

most part 103 aircraft are smaller than the majority of this list. I appreciate the effort, but this was quite painful to watch. please please do more research before doing aviation videos...half of the footage is RC aircraft, many things misstated, or just flatly erroneous...

The prop blades at 2 o'clock on both engines are NOT attached ie missing a piece where they cross the cowling. Totally AI garbage.

I us to fly flyders up in Santaĝusteen that is were o I got my political license now I fly every day when the weather is nice 😅

After watching the first one and giving absolutely NO specifics: Adequate range, enough thrust... and then the laughable idea that one could easily learn in a SINGLE SEAT HIGH PERFORMANCE JET with no instructor? The second was lousy AI plane and I stopped watching... I assume the entire video is AI.

This narrator is boss. 👍

Crap. I really wanted to see some cool planes. Been 40 years since my Cessna 172 flying days. BUT too many takes. Thumbs down and quit watching a few minutes in.

Photoshops not real plane

3:12 Definitely an AI fake photo. The engines are turbofans, so don't have props. And the props are all wrong anyway. All that gear hanging off the nose? None of it is streamlined so drag would be very high. Wheels are way too large for an aircraft that size. The horizontal stabilizer is all out of proportion. Windscreen is asymmetrical - look closely at the far side where it merges with the nose. One wiper only? What have I missed? 6:45 Maybe it has an engine, but the tow rope is pretty obvious. 8:18 What English speaking 12 year old has not seen the word Archaeopteryx? The dinosaur predecessor to birds? 13:35 Stitz SA2A Sky Baby. The aircraft you're showing us appears to be remote controlled and not manned, despite your claim. Dishonest much? And then there came drones... Silly video.

Fakey McFakenstein...

Omg im 2nd

McConnell? Hard pass
