Avro Vulcan: The Bomber with the Terrifying Howl
The Avro Vulcan was one of Britain's first nuclear capable bombers. The Vulcan used an incredibly unique large delta wing design allowing it to fly faster and at a higher altitude than enemy interception methods making it the most advanced V-class bomber in the Royal Air Force arsenal at the time. The Vulcan also creates an unmistakable sound that drove fear into the Soviet Union, and Argentinians when it ran real bombing runs with conventional weapons.

Still one of the most beautiful aircraft ever built by mankind

@tenkloosterherman Год назад

I prefer Concorde.

@Carvetii Год назад

whoopee for you @@tenkloosterherman

@tenkloosterherman 11 месяцев назад

Only second to Concorde. The Victor came close.

@Kroylin 10 месяцев назад

@@tenkloosterherman Concorde doesn't even have a howl it sounds like a regular jet engine

@stevehill4615 Год назад

The howl from Vulcans is spine tingling, once heard never forgotten.

@davefloyd9443 Год назад

Amazingly there were only 8 years between the maiden flights of The Lancaster and The Vulcan. What an era for aircraft development?

@davidbarrass5210 Год назад

18 yrs

@davefloyd9443 Год назад

@davidbarrass5210 Had to go check. We can split the difference in our errors. It was actually 11.5 years, between the prototype maiden flights.

@SirReginaldBlomfield1234 9 дней назад

18yrs my arse. Vulcan first flew in 1952. 🖕

@josemoreno3334 Год назад

I got to see one fly at an air show at Edwards AFB, California back in 1981. I remember that howl sound it made. What a bomber.👍

@thefreedomguyuk Год назад

Most beautiful machine ever built. Singing the most enchanting song. The song of FREEDOM !!

@brianwillson9567 Год назад

Delta wings need supersonic speeds? Tell that to Avros, Rolls Royce and the RAF that the Vulcan was supersonic. The sperrin part of the V force? The clue is in the S of sperrin. Mr Handley Page would be most displeased that you should dismiss his Victor from the V bomber trinity.

@paulqueripel3493 Год назад

And that they showed the Victor as an Avro design. I don't think Avro ever looked at crescent wings.

I just discovered this channel. I really like your concise to the point approach, absence of obvious factual errors, and lack of AI narration mispronouncing every other word

For me it was Windermere air show, uk circa 2008. I arrived just in time mid-afternoon at Bowness to see one of these incredible machines fly seemingly straight towards us, low and slow, then go full thrust for a near vertical climb right over our heads. Never will I forget that experience

@glaslynx123 Год назад

1980s was on my motorbike speeding along cliff top road in North Wales, Thought my engine was about to explode then it went dark . Out of the corner of my eye a Vulcan dropped from above went down just below road level and howled out to sea ! Could do Victor next always thought it was most sinister/sci fi of the 4

@brianwillson9567 Год назад

Most wonderful plane ever built. But only the B2 with the series 200 Olympus engines howled.

@tenkloosterherman 11 месяцев назад

Some of them. Luckily 558 did.

@davidmok108 Год назад

May this channel grow more and more! Excellent content as always Cheers from Malaysia

@usernamesreprise4068 Год назад

At the start of the video you referred to Lancasters as having Merlin "double X's, this a misnomer as subsequent Merlin marks were identified in Roman numerals - and the "double X" was actually a Merlin twenty.

@tenkloosterherman Год назад

The "howl" was not a design feature All Avro bombers were hand-built and so no two ones were the same. Some had the "howl", fortunately.

@stephengrimmer35 7 месяцев назад

There are only so many who have seen the likes of the Vulcan, the English Electric, the F104 and the SR71 fly. Soon those memories will be lost, like tears in the rain.

@scratch1924 3 месяца назад

I have many memories of seeing the Vulcan's as i have always lived pretty close to one of our RAF bases.. The last time i actually saw one fly was a few years back at Fairford Air Show.. I think that was at the time meant to have been it's last flight, but i believe it has flown since. Was always my favourite plane, and that howl is truly amazing.. I sure do miss hearing it..

@JeffreyWilliams-dr7qe 6 месяцев назад

The RAF still knows its way around the Camouflage.

@drtimsmith Год назад

Just about the loudest noise I've ever heard... made my ears ring... A pity we can't make a new version with upgraded avionics and engines.

@Tamburello_1994 11 месяцев назад

Saw one of these crash near Chicago back in 1978 (XL-390)

@silverfox9303 Год назад

Not wishing to be pedantic but the Sperrin was very quickly abandoned, the other V Bomber was the HP Victor, sadly impeded by politicians

@tenkloosterherman 11 месяцев назад

The Victor was the better weightlifter and thus the better tanker. The Vulcan was the better bomber. It Nuked the US twice in simulated attacks.

@caribman10 Год назад

You need to see a Vulcan near a B-52 to see how small it is by comparison.

@tenkloosterherman 11 месяцев назад

And a carefully kept secret by the US is that the Vulcan "Nuked"the US twice. It was quite embarrassing for the USAF to see a Vulcan landing at a US airbase after a simulated attack, not once but twice.

@Radio478 11 месяцев назад

Brilliant

@1joshjosh1 Год назад

Very interesting video

@charliespareacc 11 месяцев назад

Only vulcans with olympus 201 engines have the howl as they have a different intake length and shape compared to the later olympus 301 engined vulcans.
