Inflatable Airplanes Were A Bad Idea 

How’d you get into creating documentary work?

How did you get the name Mustard? Do you like the actual stuff, or is it just a cool name?

Video suggestion: the IPTN N250!

Will your second channel be called “Ketchup”?

Where do you get the ideas for your videos? Will to ever do a face reveal?

Right?!

they could have sold it to normal people...i would buy it

yes

The one big difference between this inflatoplane and the thousands of hang gliders and paragliders regular people use... is that the inflatoplane is probably 100 times safer! :D

@@coolshift6783 But can you imagine the lawsuits if one of these things crashed?

I'm sure pilots would rather fly than walk from 300 miles behind enemy lines. No matter the risk.

@@SuperCatacata if you’ve got an artificial horizon and an altimeter you could time out your takeoff at duck and use the failing light to get home. Map and a flashlight can’t hurt either

Just keep air dropping more rescue aircraft. I don't see the problem here.

rinse and repeat

...keep sending the inflatoplanes-- the pilot will eventually get out! :)

I rewatched that so many times. Comparing it to his height it looks like a 4-6 storey drop, it's so high. I have to assume something in the seat/nose was made as a crumple zone to absorb most of the impact.

Not to mention That he also fell slowly Not the speed of natural gravity

@@stevenrolon7023 True although if you look at the time taken to fall vs the distance compared to his standing height, he still fell very fast. I think if you didn't land just right you could easily get seriously injured or killed.

adrenaline is a hell of a drug

Luck, adrenaline, and both the wing impacting first and the tumble out of the seat probably absorbed and spread out the impact energy...

I think it's more effective using a pump bag instead of a pump. It's also more easy to transport and more reliable.

@@kamel6915 Yeah but that's not as funny.

@@MustardChannel LMAO

I'm pretty sure it's McDaniel himself. There's the old joke that in Aviation it's tradition that engineers tested their flights themselves, so it weeded out bad engineers pretty reliably

He landed on his feet too. Man is a different breed

I read this comment at the same time with video

Their high expectations fell flat.

The engineering team must have felt deflated.

Bruh

I'm sure the patents have expired by now.

For hunting it would be perfect

@@nicholasblanchette4293 well yeah, until you realize both the crashes weren't due to pilot error, but the fact the thing had absurdly low rigidity, even WITH the special material. On one, the prop was able to strike the aircraft, on the other a control cable jam caused the wing to fold. In other words, the strength of the pilot pulling on the cable was enough to fold the wing. Maybe with modern technology we could do it, but it's still super dangerous. Just rent a helicopter, it's way easier and safer, probably cheaper too.

Modern update: Small electric with thin panels of solar cells that are attached to sections of an unfoldable frame for the cockpit and can be velcroed to the surfaceindefinitely

Have a look at ultralights and paramotoring! Basically modern day equivalents

I guess they don't go Boeing any more

the 737 max needs more inflato, less crasho

😂

Boeing airliner crash: *BAM!* Pam air: and the name stuck

Boeing are named after the founder, but fucking whatever lol

Like, literally I guess. Lol this could've been a viable concept if the wings didn't head out every few seconds.

Bro what, u want a jet inflatable plane?

@@guavaice1 Honestly, why not?

Paramotors left the chat

Agreed

Ok

I never noticed how small this channel is

It truly does, especially considering the escape made by 2 families in a homemade hot air balloon.

Sans Handlebars That was exactly what I was about to comment. One of those failed and fell still in East Germany territory.

But who would want to escape paradise?? /s

Someone did flew out of East Berlin in a microlight!

@@adrielsebastian5216 wasn’t that the story of the three brothers? On escaped as a border guard by swimming through the Elbe (?), the second one built a zip line over the wall and after that the two picked up their brother in an ultra light camouflaged with red stars

Carburetors are amazing

Or, he already escaped and the soldiers are punished for lying, while they were telling the truth, but the pilot's gone

Yes, that's how that works

@@Moses_VII or the soldiers shoot bunch of holes into a slow moving aircraft

@@superq3215 thanks!

Now that you said it 😜😂.

Noice

That's what's known as a silent pun. It's like when I walk into a room but am hiding something and say, "Hey guise!".

I agree 👍 For me, I would trust it more than an electric plane.

It could easily be made safer with new technologies.

Because *YES*

Oh hey me too

Flying Fortress

Well, you haven't been too far of. Except for the bulletproofness.

I thought of walter sache 😳

Yeah honestly, Goodyear is sitting on a goldmine with this thing and they don't even realise it. With some minor modification as well, you could easily make these things be able to take off from or land on water, which would be even more of a game changer. An ultra-light plane that you can store in your garage, be carried in the back of an SUV and only needs a lake or grassy field to take off or land would be a massive hit with just about everyone. I could easily picture resorts lining up around the block to buy two seater versions of these things to offer scenic flights to guests.

@@zixx844 That would be nice but there's the real issue that some drunk idiot would kill themselves by doing manuvers that the aircraft can't tolerate. Then their family decides to sue Goodyear for selling a dangerous product even though the crash was the result of stupidity.

@@twistedyogert surely you could do some contractual gymnastics to avoid such an out come

@@zixx844 I'm already thinking of a drunk idiot crashing with a 747 during the takeoff

@@zixx844 You say this like the FAA is just gonna let this slide. Hell no!

A large number of chemical reactions convert high density solid or liquid phase materials into a large volume of low density gas phase reactant products. Commonly familiar chemical reactions that do this include many types of "explosives", although many less rapid/less vigorous chemical reactions also do the same thing (including ordinary combustion of wood). There is really no good reason for the plane to need any manual inflation, even partially. Such would be a major waste of time and likely dangerous for the downed pilot. It would make far more sense to initially inflate ("blow up") the plane basically instantaneously with a small explosive charge instead. One "potentially interesting" alternative would be to use hydrogen as the inflation gas. There are various chemical reactions that can relatively quickly produce large quantities of hydrogen gas (from common/cheap ingredients like aluminum metal, ordinary water, and an acid or base to dissolve the surface oxide coating on the metal), which could hypothetically be used to quickly inflate the plane. As an added side "bonus", the plane would be extra buoyant in the atmosphere due to the lower density of hydrogen gas compared to atmospheric air. Hypothetically, if the inflatable plane was designed with large enough internal volume, the plane could take off vertically, without needing any forward velocity, landing gear, or initial air speed at all. Alternatively, one could design a blow up plane with ordinary air filling instead (ex: for perceived safety reasons), but with a tether attaching it to a large inflatable balloon that gets filled with hydrogen (ex: from a water + aluminum chemical reaction). After initial vertical lift off from the ground (via the buoyant hydrogen balloon), the hydrogen balloon could be released to cause the air filled plane to drop by gravity and gain air speed sufficient for controlled horizontal flight (without needing landing gear or a powerful/heavy engine necessary for short distance takeoff runs on "improvised" runways, which may not be available anyway in a jungle or other rough terrain). Currently designed military aircraft often come with "ejection seats", whereby upon activation rockets blast the seat and human pilot away from the destroyed plane, and then a parachute deploys to bring the pilot relatively gently to the ground. Conceptually, it is possible to design the ejection seat with a powered fan on the back and to use a paraglider style parachute, to achieve sustained continuous flight to help the pilot escape the hostile territory, without ever needing to touch down on the ground or needing any kind of extraction/rescue operation. One might assume that the ejected pilot may get shot down immediately, but this would not necessarily be true, as modern airplanes are too fast and high flying to be shot down with ordinary guns, and instead anti-aircraft missiles are typically used. However, anti-aircraft missiles are expensive, and not all militaries would be willing to waste an extra anti-aircraft missile shooting down a basically harmless ejected pilot simply trying to fly a powered paraglider back to safety.

That would have been a great emergency measure to keep the planes up and inflated. Probably work better with a little blue pills for the pilots

It seemed like the only problem was wing rigidity. Too bad they canned it instead of finding a solution

@@SuperCatacata honestly, i hope to see a civilian version of this with proper application of modern materials

Well, with modern materials, you could just have a carbon fibre folding frame hang glider and strap the engine on. Might not even need the inflation bit.

@@calebdavies526 woopyfly

You really think modern people can be tristed with planes? Just imagine the stupid shxt that would happen.

It already exists and its used in car tires, its in the inside in the walls of the tire, its basically like a super sticky material that doesnt let air escape by quickly patching up the hole

@Guiep yeah but it reminded me of other things like vtol aircraft and that big german one (which admittedly have flaws but they are cool)

All the fails mentioned were in the wings... We could just add two removable crossbars to improve rigidity. Military use is out of question, but I'm pretty sure that there's some civilian market for it.

@@moteroargentino7944 it furthermore sounds like these inflatable planes could be made very cheaply - even the cheapest rigid body aircraft cost thousands of dollars. If you could lower the price, more and more people could have a chance to fly.

Because those "sucky" designs are actually affordable, reliable, and most importantly, they are FUNCTIONAL, something that "cool" designs more often than not aren't.

i am too lol

Hello everyone! how is your day so far? :)

A paramotor is essentially an inflatable aircraft.
