Those are beautiful planes and the pilots did beautiful jobs. From the looks of it those water landings have to be done perfectly, and they were very masterfully done.
Interesting sea plane design, never thought having the wings in the water would be a good idea, wonder how it would handle rough sea conditions. Cool looking design.
THE FLOATING WING ADVANTAGE The Beriev's very new design has something in common with a very old design. Its floating inboard wing root seems to serve the same purpose as the short, stubby, mid-fuselage sponsons on the old Dornier and Boeing monohulls. These sponsons eliminated the need for wing floats, and assisted the transition to the step. My understanding is that the added surface area of the sponsons would cause them to begin planing at a lower speed than the hull, and they would help lift the airplane onto the step, reducing the amount of horsepower required to make that transition. Once on the step, the sponsons would lift out of the water and no longer produce much drag. The greatest demand for horsepower occurs when getting on the step, and these sponsons allowed the otherwise underpowered flying boats to get on the step despite being heavily loaded for a trans-oceanic voyage. The Beriev's floating wing serves the same purpose. The assist that the wing provides allows this 5000-pound monohull to be comfortably powered by 420 horsepower. Once on the step, the low wing makes maximum use of ground effect to reduce the liftoff speed, minimizing the airplane's exposure to water drag. Conventional seaplanes use flaps to achieve this same result. There is a certain elegance of simplicity in the Beriev's use of a one-piece wing to achieve what is usually done with the complexity of a wing flap system. Through shrewdness of design, the Beriev designers have eliminated an entire system that entails moving parts and maintenance, as well as management on the part of the pilot. ROUGH WATER READY One of the pre-conceived notions I arrived with was that the airplane probably isn't any good in rough water or crosswinds. I had a chance to find out that this is not the case. One of the days I flew had gusty winds and crowds of weekend powerboats that were whipping the surface into a confused sea of random chop that made for some genuinely rough water. I flew it in water that well exceeded the 1/2 meter (19 inch) waves that had been demonstrated in certification, and found it to handle them at least as well as a comparably sized floatplane. In some ways it handled them better, since it slides across the water on its broad platform with no pitching or heaving tendencies. Again, I found no porpoising tendencies, even when slamming into the occasional extra large wave. Also, I was able to verify the extent of its roll stability on the water by falling in on the step behind a large powerboat and riding parallel on top of his wake. Doing this would have been hazardous in a floatplane and precarious in a conventional monohull, but with five feet of wing skimming the water on either side to provide stability, it was a non-event in the Beriev. It continued steady, with no rocking of the wings at all. The airplane's construction seems sturdy enough to withstand the abuse of rough water. When it conies to rough water, one of this airplane's strong points is the German-made MT propellers. Their location above and behind the broad wing practically eliminates spray exposure, and any spray they do encounter is not likely to do much damage since the props are composite with a nickel leading edge. Our rough water session left the props unaffected, where the same session in a Grumman would have required dressing the blades afterward. The props on the airplane have 200 hours and 400 water landings on them, and they have never been dressed and do not need to be. I found that very impressive. -Burke Mees Water Flying Mar/Apr 2005 www.seaplanes.aero/main/index.html

I flew the blue one back in 04/05 at Sun & Fun with the demo pilot. Things I remember is it's built like a tank and flew very heavy on the controls. Takeoff and landing were simple. Handled a decent chop surprisingly well. I liked it.
Thanks for posting this video. It appears that some folks, who have never seriously examined seaplane design, have lots to criticize, but the Be-103 is well designed in most respects, though I wish that they had used a planing-tail hull design, which eliminates the step, and thereby reduces drag considerably. The wing is a mid-wing, obviating any need for lateral stablization, reducing drag. This video shows how well the design prevents water hitting the props during takeoff, which is important.
@@qairataimagambet3399 И это - тоже... Неудачное расположение движков. Курсовая неустойчивость на разбеге (обратите внимание на вертикальный плавник под брюхом в районе расположения движков и на его размер - догадайтесь, для чего его туда прилепили?). Очень низкая мореходность. В 2000 году с одним пилотом на борту в Геленждике на "ГИДРОАВИАСАЛОН-е-2000" не смог оторваться от воды при волне всего в один фут (30 см). Хотя все другие лёгкие гидросамолёты в этот день взлетали в этих же условиях ЛЕГКО! Перечислять можно много и долго, но надо ли? Неудачный опыт г-на Лавро с ТАНТК....
@@user-jo5gv6ur5iэтот самолёт делает всё на видео на двух моторах схожих с моторами цессны и пайпера! И при этом пассажиров может брать, в исключительных случаях аж 8 человек могут лететь. Ничего подобного никакой в мире другой самолёт сделать не может. На такой мощности уж точно. Гениальная конструкция.
Realmente esses aviões russos/soviéticos são incríveis e diferente de tudo que há na aviação, eles são híbridos que flutuam usando a fuselagem e as asas, isto requer muito reforço estrutural no projeto, caso contrário ele se quebraria todo! Incrível mesmo, não usam canoas flutuadores, usam a própria fuselagem e asas. Sem palavras pra descrever esses maravilhas!🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷Brazil
@@luizcarlosgomes6123exatamente! A primeira vez que eu ví o Beriev-200 (êle aparece rapidamente nesse vídeo) fiz o mesmo comentário. Um avião anfíbio (pousa tanto na terra, quanto na água) muito versátil para a região Amazônica. Tanto serve para combater incêndios, como transportar passageiros e outras necessidades, para o interior da floresta e para os povos ribeirinhos, que numa emergência dependem apenas de barcos que demoram dias para viajarem de uma localidade à outra.
deve ser para rir o seu comentário , estes aviões a primeira ondasita ou oscilação da asa e mergulha logo na agua , has-de- me dizer quantos paises compraram este erro de engenharia que tu dises ser sovietoica lol
What a beautiful plane…just hard to believe that with the wings subjected to so much water that corrosion wouldn’t be an exponentially accelerated issue. But…I’d love to be aboard. Beautiful!!
Que maravilla,esas máquinas anfibias y voladodoras.aqui en Nicaragua,nos harían más fácil la vida ,sobre todo para,el turismo. Saludos desde Managua Nicaragua.

That makes good sense, less tendency to pitch if at all? I'd rather put a hole in a float instead of the main airfoil. The engineering must be superior. And.. metallurgy with the chance for salt water intrusion?
Nonsense! Just have look (at this video) as she swinging in pitch just before leaving the water surface practically in a calm on the take-off (for 5-15) . And you can watch how she will lift off the water surface with a full load (pilot + six passengers). It looks very sadly indeed ...
Wow ! what amazingly versatile aircraft!!! Great design, beautiful sea planes! Ideal for island hopping, or for landing in hard to reach places where there is a lake or river, but no runway!!
Здорово! Очень интересная конструкция, не имеющая громоздких, мешающих в полёте поплавков! А средняя часть крыла как у экраноплана. / Wow! A very interesting design that does not have bulky floaters that interfere with flight! And the middle part of the wing is like an ekranoplan.
Но на взлете и посадке их жутко колбасит. Чуть бОльшие волны и вообще жесть будет. И как по мне очень большая дистанция взлета, похоже из-за низкорасположенного крыла
у предыдущих бешек крылья над корпусом и над ними двиганы, что даёт расположение крыльев внизу. мне кажется, что у них даже разбег перед взлетом длиннее чем у тяжелого БЕ-200 или я ошибаюсь?
I am really surprised those wings held up so we'll in the sea! WOW just amazing! That's really cool how it just goes down the ramp into the sea and takes off! HEHE I wonder what the insides look like afterwards! I wish they had taken some pictures or video of the insides too! Really Awesome Aircraft! Well done!

I guess the weather is important for water take-off and landings, although I love the look of the plane in the air. It looks like nothing I've seen before. I'm Canadian, so unless the plane is a WWII flying boat, I expect to see pontoons on sea planes. :-0! lol!
The planes look really cool but those low wings makes me nervous. One relatively small rogue wave or unexpected crosswind gust and the plane will be doing cartwheels. Having the wings at water level leaves no room for errors.
Interesting combination of seaplane and ekranoplan but flies like a normal plane. It is not a pure surface effect vessel. I'm amazed that the wings actually rest on the water.
