oh, so the camera follows the plane? I thought it is onboard camera and they didn't launch it yet

*the pun*

We have to walk nearly 1/4mile (over 300m) to the landing area. I cut it out because it was uneventful and boring...

Fat dislike for muddying RU-vid, that is 100 fake. It's just a shame you put those editing skills to good use. If ur that insane with editing I personally have a job for you lol.

Take a deep dive and discover just how awesome Dynamic Soaring is... if I had any video editing skills I wouldn't have had to rely on the cheesy Windows Movie Maker title screens, etc. 😁

Holy shit!

Yeah the camera work was a bit much

I laughed at this comment after i finished vomiting

Apparently, we're watching the video from the camera attached to the pilot's head, hence all the back and forth, as he tracks the glider.

65mph winds, the road they are on is on a thin ridge with no protection no place up there to hide - so now spielberg here

it's only minor corrections every loop; it's not entering and exiting multiple maneuvers, just the loop is established and keeps getting boosted. I noticed sometimes the loop ended up higher. the amount of control deflection to work safely at those speeds must be miniscule

Here's a video that happens to show the stick movements while DSing at 485mph. You can see the rythmic inputs on every lap plus a bunch of random corrections due to turbulence...Turbulent air is constantly trying to throw you off course... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XatM246UetM.html

@RU-vid Is Dying Painfully he's looking for thetumbnail pretty much

How did that thing go that fast ? I’m confused it looks like a glider and I don’t think it has any engine how is generating thrust ? Is it simply by wind speed ? Wtf

@@hemendraravi4787yes, it dips into a strong wind to gain speed, then goes out of it and flies back to the starting point to do it again

They're a little higher than sea level, so not as close as it might seem.

Mach 1 is 767 miles per hour.. define almost😂

@@aashisheapen8230 isn't it about 200moh away still, at sea level? That's another 30% or so faster. I get that "almost" is a subjective word. I wouldn't use almost too mean I'm 30% from my goal.

cant see it... what time on the vid is it?

@@MrCarnutbill67 planes have a speed rating called Vne, or "Velocity, Never Exceed'. In Dynamic soaring, the shorthand for this is "Puff speed".

​@@wayneledzian5342 The thing about limits and engineering, Ratings can always be pushed, but you'll never get an engineer to tell you how much you can get away with.

@@wayneledzian5342 Would that be the *poof* speed?

Quite efficient usage of free available energy ;) :D :)

nope....holding the camera still is very much worse. There is great video with the camera on the pilots hat that shows the plane really well. The speeds are not this fast, but you see the plane very much better. Holding the camera still, you barely get to see the plane at all.

@King Joffrey When you're making a video the point is to show the subject matter. This didn't. That's not a complaint. It's a fact.

@@teejay3272 FWIW - This video was made primarily for my own use in documenting and analyzing the flight. Whether its entertaining on YT or not is a secondary concern. We've tried stationary cameras and trust me it doesn't work out to be any better. You have to pan way out to capture the entire flight path and then the plane is so tiny you can't even see it. Fisheye just distorts the image so much that it's useless. Unfortuately, DS is not an easy thing to film well and I'm more concerned about the flying than the filming...

@@sll914 u ever think about putting a small cam on that thing??? That would be an awesome video!!! Honestly i couldn't follow the video. It may not be the most RU-vid friendly video for b people but your accomplishment is awsome. I give you props my friend!!!

@@sll914 understanding that it's not a priority, it'd be really cool if one day all the compromises of filming this are worked through, and good video is made

I saw that! Pretty crazy, huh?

I was there too

Same

Yeah seing how you can accelerate to 548 miles an hour using windspeeds that go up to 65mph, makes you wonder what you can do with solarwind speeds between 450 and 700 miles equator/poles not per hour but per second. But what i wonder most is what G forces you then can expect? Wouldn't that be beyond anything materials can handle? I mean if it's having the same speed difference that craft could go to 5000-6000 mps! Around 2% the speed of light! Still would take around 220 years to reach Proxima Centauri though. Sure you can use the same trick at the edge of the solar wind where interstellar winds take over but with that speed? Seems like impossible to me but i ain't a scientist.

Or is it 548,000 mph. . . just kidding 😁

Yes except England we still use mph mostly 😂😸😂

Honestly, probably won't be too long, this is about mach 0.9 or something

Uhh bruh we already have one

We have many...they are common...

Transonic area is very nasty. Drag increase rapidly near mach 1 and so does other areodynamics. It will be extremely hard to reach mach 0.9 or above.

@@PaleOrchid maybe it's possible with some other design

That would be cool breaking the sound barrier with a glider.

@@billdonaldson7546 Unfortunately physics tells us that long and striaght wing going at transonic speed is really, really, really bad, and that 548mph is right at the transonic speed ~.7 mach. So the glider is unbelievably impressive already.

same, how do you steer something going so fast you can barely see it

Full scale pilot here that's flown RC a few times (definitely not doing this) with the same question. My speculation is that you don't have a closed-loop mindset (as in "closed-loop controller" from engineering, not the looping maneuver... wish there was another word!) like controlling any typical maneuver, where you're watching deviations and correcting them on the fly. It's too fast for that. But rather, after enough practice you have the muscle memory with your thumbs of how to fly one of those circles, and if you notice one go a little bit wrong, you adjust for the next time around. And you get in a rhythm/groove with their cyclical nature, making small adjustments each next one. I'd love to get a real answer here from those who fly DS.

@@FlyNAA I think it's like you say, muscle memory developed thru lots of practice. After a while you learn to recognize deviations from the desired path earlier and you can fix them immediately. Beginner DSers usually have one point in the circuit (top turn) where they make corrections and over time you add more and more points in the circuit where you recognize and correct issues. The ultimate goal is to develop so many points along the circuit that your corrections become constant and small.

@@FlyNAA All the while trying to find the sweet spot

VERY LITTLE CONTROL IS NEEDED JUST MINOR ADJUSTMENTS TO THE LOOP WITH BANK AND A LITTLE UP A PLANE WILL HOLD THE SAME COURSE DO TO THE BUILT IN STABILITY UNLESS AN EXTERNAL FORCE IS APPLIED ANY DEFECTION OF THE CONTROL SURFACES JUST SLOWS US DOWN

Because when the plane going 548 mph, slips and comes right at you through the screen, it's gonna cut your damn head off clean....LOL

@@kenyablonsky I saw a clip where the thing augered into the ground with a THUMP loud enough to reverberate across the mountain range

I would piss myself

Toward the end of the war the p51 could achieve speeds of 400mph ish, thats high altitude with little air resistance. Down at that altitude in the video id say it could do 350, which is still terrifying

even the me262 is scared

Me262s max speed is 540mph at that altitude now that ur saying imagine but let’s imagine how they would have felt seeing super fast machines which weird buzzing noise and those huge 30mm cannons it must be real scary

www.hitecrcd.com www.mks-servo.com

You can try it in a simulator. I'm not very good at it, but a couple hours of practice and you could start to get the hang of it. A lot of it is just timing the elevator inputs.

Practice. Takes a long time to go that fast

​@T Hebert I think that would only work with ground based optical positioning systems like how they use for those super fuckin stable Drone flight demonstrations the *ETH Zürich* keeps pumping out every once in a while. Everything else - like commercially available GPS positioning systems for model aircrafts, at those speeds and this close to the ground, would most likely lead you to a fine for littering the ground with shrapnel.

i think it's just CF. servos begging for mercy

I was thinking the same. The g forces must be amazing. Would love to have a sensor record the max g load.

@@aafjeyakubu5124 Max G recorded on the predecessor to this aircraft was 120G, which is the maximum the sensor could record. They routinely cruise at 80 to 100 G continuous turn. It is covered in this presentation from 2017 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nv7-YM4wno8.html

@@harryspeakup8452 I honestly didn't think I was going to watch the whole video. I was wrong. Unbelievable!

the wings on these are so strong, a grown man can stand in the middle while the sides are beeing supported on each side.

Needs a larger ipad or monitor, i could not see on phone

Play at .50 speed, you'll see it.

The pilot had the go pro strapped to his head so all that whipping back and forth is the pilot keeping an eye on the glider as it accelerates

2:01

Wrong... A little creativity to settle the camera or highlight the plane would have gone a long way. Nevertheless, incredible feat!

Wing clips an arm Look you dropped your arm.

The pilot wore the camera on his head.

It was filmed with my Gopro on my head while flying...

How's your neck? (jk)

When I was watching I kept wondering if you had some genius cameraman that was good at tracking it visually. Thanks for the comment, it answers my question. The pilot knows better than anyone where the plane is. ;-)

@@sll914 Could consider running image stabilisation on this video, although I'm not sure if it will pick up the plane on the downhill leg

Exactly what I thought. It doesn’t feel right how the video was. And I know that modern avionics in rcs are amazing but to go 540mph with only a glider and no jet engine is impossible to comprehend

@@3Dmaker12 Look up dynamic soaring, it's not the only one of it's kind.

You can clearly see the gliders route change so your 3 second loop theory is busted.

I was getting motion sickness for real. could not finish

That crackle you hear on every pass is the upper surface of the wing going transonic.

@@crustygrognard7403 actually, I think that may be the sound of flow separation. it's moving so goddamn fast and has such a high angle of attack that it might be causing vacuum regions to form on the top side of the wing for milliseconds before collapsing from the outside pressure. Almost like how a propeller will produce cavitation when spun too fast.

@@Hyperious_in_the_air I was wrong, it wasnt transonic. The local airflow on the upper surface of the wing was in excess of mach 1.25 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nv7-YM4wno8.html at 35 minutes in there is a plot of the airspeed over the wing.

Be prepared to shell out several grand to get one similar. 😉

@@wordreet As I've never flown a plane I think I'll just start small and learn to fly before I try something that does 880km/h :O

@@KalLanPIDT Good luck my dude, trainer planes can be had pretty cheap and are easy-ish to fly. You can buy ones with stabilisation electronics built in, or just go for cheap and basic. But I do recommend trying an RC simulator first. I did 8 years ago, and it helped me to start.

@@wordreet Great tip, I can crash without losing anything but patience hehe thanks :)

@@KalLanPIDT Go spend $150 on a carbon cub s2 from Horizon Hobbies, that will get you everything you need to fly,extra batteries are like 6 bucks, it gets you flying, I started there last year, now I own several large planes and a simulator... lots of fun

Maybe most of it's weight is in it's wings. In that case extreme g force (as I estimated ~70g if it went perfect circles, otherwise more than that) doesn't involve extreme stress, because the support is evenly distributed over it's entire surface.

@@Zilahi-Branyi_Laszlo Exactly, they had to put weight on the wing at the time they were always breaking the wing in half at high speeds. Highly recommended talk: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nv7-YM4wno8.html by Spencer (the pilot in this video).

He said it was a carbon fiber epoxy, and it's doing over 100g's, easy.

about 120G s if I read that right

At this point it feels like we've found a glitch in fluid dynamics and we're just exploiting the hell out of it.

@@StaK_1980 120 G's is incredible. 1Kg turns into 120!!. Some mighty fine engineering as well as physical dexterity for flying at these incredible speeds. Like your handle, I live on the same island as the devil.

@@Hyperious_in_the_air Glitch, or very smart engineering. Magic!!!

I agree Its like music but i think they already have a good mic. I mean you can hear then talking in 65mph wind

Was filmed with a GoPro by the pilot. GoPro makes it really annoying (and expensive) to add an external mic these days.

It's not meant for the general viewer. He records for his own personal use.

I bet no one has ever thought of that.

In order -some designs have been known to shatter once they exeed there desighned speed envelopes. -The G's for ghis flight have been calculated at between 60-100+G's -Yes it is built verry heavy and very strong out of carbon fiber. +-10lbs -The camera is a gopro straped to the pilots head, if it weren't it would be even harder to follow whats happening (its been tried)

@@douginorlando6260 It's crazy amounts of high-tech and artistry. I mean they're building to perform at a constant 100 Gs. I think they even have trouble getting paint stay in place. I was near a similar plane once and I have no desire to do that again. It's truly frightening. Safety aside, one twitch and you plow into the hill. At 800 feet per second I would also worry about losing it in the sky.

@Bret Bouder You want to go home and rethink your life.

Doesn't seem to add up - and the footage is so poor that it's hard to validate the veracity of this clip.

their a video of a jet doing 700mph

@@justincase7686 700kmh...

In the hobbyist segment, such is faster than any RC aircraft with a motor. Even those with jets or small booster rockets are still slower. If you want faster remote piloted aircraft you'd have to look to something government owned, which then tends to be military aircraft or drones.

Problem is more that you have to see and control it. Flying circles needs rudder deflection and rudder deflection creates drag. So hard to get supersonic that way. Put stub wings onto a rocket will easily get you supersonic, but it will more or less fly in a straight line and might be out of sight soon. There are numerous supersonic hobby rockets out there.

Correct for average G assuming the flight path is circular. In this flight it was more oval-shaped with a tight top turn so the peak G would be higher. Im estimating 90G based on past experience and measurements...

@@sll914 yes impressive ! Aerodynamically speaking it is equivalent to a glider of 3m and 400kg flying straight at 800km/h !!!

I just watched this and feel even more sick now...

I think the point is that a lot of the weight is in the wings, not the fuselage. That puts much less strain on the wings.

Exactly! Took me a minute to realize.
