Experimental aircraft: canards of war, aviation oddities, and engineering marvels, from Germany's Focke-Wulf F 19 to the Curtiss XP-55 Ascender.
First flown in 1927, the experimental Focke-Wulf F 19 "Ente" (duck) was more successful. Two examples were built, and one of them continued flying until 1931.
Immediately before and during World War II, several experimental canard fighters were flown, including the Ambrosini SS.4, Curtiss-Wright XP-55 Ascender, and Kyūshū J7W1 Shinden. These were attempts at using the canard configuration to give advantages in areas such as performance, armament disposition, or pilot view. Ultimately, no production aircraft were completed. The Shinden was ordered into production "off the drawing board"[clarification needed], but only prototypes had flown when the war ended.
In 1945, in Europe, what may have been the first canard designed and flown in the Soviet Union appeared as a test aircraft, the experimental Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-8 Utka (Russian for "duck"), a lightweight propeller aircraft. It was noted for its docile, slow-speed handling characteristics[citation needed]. It flew for years and was used as a testbed while developing the swept wing of the (conventional layout) MiG-15 jet fighter.

always loved canard planes. i saw one fly right over my house once taking off from the local airport

@Margarinetaylorgrease 24 дня назад

Also used by the Wright brothers. So they must of been ahead of their time 😅

I love canard aircraft, but there's so little about them in video format. Thank you ever so much for another great video.

@xzqzq 22 дня назад

Interesting that the FW-61 was placed into an auditorium to be demoed , with Hannah Reich flying it, no training, flew all weekend w/o misshap. Amazing !.

If you would like to see the last XP-55 Ascender, come to the Kalamazoo Aviation Museum, (Air Zoo) in Kalamazoo, Michigan, USA. For pilots, you can fly to the Kalamazoo Airport and taxi right up to the museum. Their Ascender has been beautifully restored. This and many other unique aircraft including the only SR-71B are on display. Another canard aircraft is the XB-70 at the Museum of the USAF in Dayton, Ohio, USA. This plane is capable of Mach 3 flight. With 6 massive engines much like the SR-71, you won't hardly believe how big this airplane is until you see it.

Lol, one of the very first heavier-than-air self-powered fully-controlled airplanes ever was already a plane-that-flew-backwards, the famous Santos-Dumont 14bis. It flew within four years after the Wright's Flyer historic first flight at Kitty Hawk.

@RobloxiaIntlAerospaceGroup 24 дня назад

The Wright flyer was also a canard aircraft too

@WildBillCox13 24 дня назад

"Canard history". Well chosen. Speculation drives controversy.

With the benefit of hindsight, do a full cost benefit analysis of Britain's experience of the sleeve valve engine.

Haha, I just watched that for the first time last night and this video pops up 16 hours later.

@WildBillCox13 24 дня назад

Helicopters have kept light AA relevant. Not sure it that's what was intended, but munitions firms take what they can get.

@robertballard8833 2 дня назад

Yeah, but canards glide like rocks without power - That alone is enough to shoot the idea down

@brealistic3542 22 дня назад

I believe the original Wright Flyer was one of the first , if not the first ,tail first planes. I do like the topic though. These are actually elevator first planes to be more correct.

@rogeratygc7895 22 дня назад

Their gliders, flown before they made the Flyer, were also canard types. Depending on your definition of "planes", that isn't to contradict you.

@ThursdayNext67 24 дня назад

It must be a law in the UK that every aviation documentary must include an interview with Eric Brown.

@michaelcomisse9478 24 дня назад

Fact

@Dronescapes 24 дня назад

Who would not want one of the best, if not the absolute best test pilot in history?

@therealniksongs 23 дня назад

No one flew more types than Brown. Enormous and varied experience. And very articulate.

Has there been a retractable canard wing tested?

@thundermite1241 10 дней назад

3:46 anyone else see a republic spec clone z-95 starfighter (starwars) in the layout from a side view

@mikesuch9021 День назад

Did the original designer that died in the first crash know how to fly before attempting to fly a experimental Aircraft?

@brealistic3542 22 дня назад

Btw stalling isn't a huge problem if it is gental and controllable and gives a good indication of it coming on. Believe it or not the Me-109 had a very predictable and easily recoverable stall. From what I have the Few 190 not so much. Go figure, probably because the 109 had large wing slats that came out on approach of a stall.

@mpetersen6 24 дня назад

The Flyer used a canard layout.

@bimmjim 20 дней назад

As a metallurgist, I'd like to hear the history of the use of Titanium alloys in Jet engines. I'll have to look elsewhere.

@bimmjim 20 дней назад

Now, Titanium is out and Nickel super alloys are in. [single cristal] Also, ceramic nanocomposite materials are being used in the hottest regions of the new jet engines.

@saltyroe3179 23 дня назад

The Wright Flyer was a canard wing. The reason that canard was not used extensively is that they are not naturally stable.

@rogeratygc7895 22 дня назад

That isn't true. As long as the canard surface has a greater angle of attack than the wing, or a difference in wing sections produces the same effect, the aircraft will be stable in pitch. As a result stability depends in practice on the centre of gravity being in the right place.

@Thetreecutter 24 дня назад

Has anyone ever tried to push a child's tricycle backwards? That's what it's like to fly a canard.

@damright 24 дня назад

or drive a reliant robin...

@bosoerjadi2838 24 дня назад

Actually, that would it be like when flying a plane with rudders and rudders at the tail, aka traditional configuration. I'm figuring that flying a canard plane'd be more akin to a skinny guy and a fat guy trying to seesaw together.

@jtjames79 24 дня назад

Maybe before computers.

@edgarpryor3233 23 дня назад

Kinda like driving a forklift, but with the awkwardness in the vertical controls.

@bluetopguitar1104 23 дня назад

The Wright brothers airplane was a canard. 1903. Just saying.

@landiahillfarm6590 День назад

Describing America as "the birthplace of Aviation" I feel is a bit disingenuous. Yes, the Wright Bros. are credited with the first sustained powered flight but that could be disputed. Butin truth, post Wright Bros. first flights, Europe clearly led the world in developments in aviation. JMHO [BTW, I'm an American!]

'The most militaristic regime in history'. What are the metrics used to judge that ?

@sc1338 18 дней назад

Probably percent of GDP devoted to the military

Rumor has it the official name Ascender was derived from its less glamorous nickname "Ass Ender" in reference to its pusher prop design.

4:45 so the mostest evilest militaristic dictatorship ended this evil bomber. And this was also a way to end democracy. Lol

@oculusangelicus8978 24 дня назад

The comment that Focke-Wulf had the carpet pulled out from under them by the most militaristic regime in history, I feel is a very inaccurate comment. Yes Germany was definitely militaristic, but both Japan, and the Soviet Union were more militaristic than Germany was, Japan is likely the single most militaristic nation on earth, period, since the country was founded on the feudal system and ruled by a military conqueror called a Shogun. That makes Germany Pale in comparison. Germany was a nation trying to build itself and was being torn apart by a very punitive treaty that forced Germany into a position that could only be rectified by using military power to force itself out of the grasp of the insulting treaty of Versailles. And as if they had learned nothing at all, France wanted to impose another treaty just as insulting and punitive as Versailles was AGAIN om Germany!!! What a bunch of idiots. Both world wars were NOT Germany's fault, in WW1, Germany was simply honoring it's agreements with other nations drawn into a war, and because of stupid arrogance and Imperialism they turned Germany into being the bad guy, and the treaty of Versailles created the perfect storm for a madman like Hitler to get into power because of how bad things had gotten in Germany! All due to France and Great Britain!

@rogeratygc7895 22 дня назад

Nothing obliged Germany to invade Poland or France in 1914 or 1939. They and their erstwhile allies, the Soviets, saw an opportunity to divide Poland between them. On Japan and the Soviet Union, yes, they were totally militaristic.
