Official TIME TO CLIMB FAI world record! 1'40"! 

boom rt boom lt boomboomboom,,sheezuss kill it,,,ditto goddamn shit can the racket

OMG right.. what or who do you think could have possibly figured this was a good move ? Yea nobody wants to hear anything but that disco beat baby OMG

Just the music of that engine, please! Don't they get it? We love the sound of the planes!

That's the problem with mainstream songs. When the video gets old, no one can stand that music anymore.

@@hugopfeffer4175 The only "main stream" that crap music ever fell into was an open sewer.

you're doing God's work, thanks for the linked timestamp

THANK YOU!

Out of the end of a canon!

True

🎯

This is the most boomer shit I've ever seen??? What's youre problem with music 😂 and I don't think there's a single gen z who's watching this

Unfortunately one man's vomit is another man's soup...

... at the cafeteria at my workplace.

It is music that millennials listen to while they suck their thumbs.

I agree, fortunately MUTE works well!

It was fine at the lower volume level, but at the higher volume it was annoying

R.I.P. Paul sadly lost his battle with mental illness.

R.I.P. Paul Lamar... he lost his long term battle with mental illness.

Ahah! Thank you, you can join the other 2 people who didn't throw rotten tomatoes at a video of a great achievement 😅

Hey. Atlas Robotics what have you done lately, anything worth telling anyone about, screw you.

Its not a World record, only a class record.

Exactly what I was thinking. 1 person uses a song in their "epic" video, and out come the lemmings to copycat.

When Wankel comes of age (Mazda efforts, Liquid piston research, ...), it will find itself, right beside the turboprop!

@@DakarBlues I couldn't agree more and feel the Wankel design is perfect for aviation... and really hope to see the Geiger guys succeed with their design? I really was impressed with their dual motor redundant design using a single PSRU. Are you familiar with the design ModKane? www.aviationpros.com/engines-components/aircraft-engines/piston-engines-parts/article/12318212/geiger-motor-gmbh-delivers-new-wankel-aviation-engines

@@DakarBlues Thats just alot of naive wishful thinking... any legitimate engineer worth his salt knows the Wankel engine is an obsolete technology and inherently inferior to reciprocating engines and gas turbines.

@@flynic3 I cannot find any recent information regarding this engine anywhere except for your own posts on forums... Can you please confirm that this engine passed its airworthiness certification or ever reached production? I can't find any airworthiness certifcate on file at FAA or EASA???

@@sandervanderkammen9230 As far as I know they have not applied for certification and were still in development. I have not seen anything recently, which is very disappointing... and see they were pushing forward with Electric motors etc. Originally, I was under the impression they were still working on the design to use as a generator for the batteries of their electric motor setup. I really hope they continue the development and move forward with EASA certification, but as a majority of the promising aviation engine designs go, this clever design may fall by the wayside. If you look further into what Geiger was developing, you would find they were resolving a lot of the shortcomings the Wankel engine has experienced with liquid cooling the rotors and a few other tricks. The company has developed quite a few interesting products... however the Geiger-Motor.de website now forwards to another one of their companies. www.geiger-praezision.de/home/ www.geigerengineering.de/

Its WANKEL engine not a Rotary

2 rotors

almoust 40 psi and only 650 hp it should be 2 rotor

I always thought they were interesting 🤔 to say the least. So I jumped at the chance to own a Suzuki RE5 2stroke rotary engine motorcycle 🏍, with a goal of 200mph at the Bonneville salt flats with the addition of a (Garret) turbocharger and a squirt of nitrous oxide. Then in 2003 I became disabled in a workplace injury, and everything has been frozen in time ever since..smh...from Wyoming USA 🇺🇸 🤠

RV7 Builder thanks! It was quite a feat :) FAI world record for time to climb for reciprocating engines. Only military Jets are faster!

Maurizio, It looks like Rarr Bear's 3000 meter TTC record is 1:31.9, is that a different category? Thanks for the info!

RV7 Builder not sure where that number comes from, maybe an unofficial attempt? In the FAI website www.fai.org/records you can see the official record :)

Maurizio, I'm checking on that now. There are various classes (weights), but I can't find them listed on the website.

RV7 Builder category is C-1b

Maybe, but did you hear the fuel burn??????????????????????

Not until you buy a MiG-25...

Quentin Carter airspeed is only 90kts and the cowling would have to be huge and heavy to envelope that massive engine and cool it down properly...so it turned out to be more efficient to just let it be naked! :)

*This aircraft did not set a new world record, the old record still stands at 51 seconds.*

@@doktorbimmer By who and where ????????? Comments without facts are just that stupid.

@@ohwell2790 Viachesslav Brovchevko, 51 seconds, March 4th 2005. FAI official record ID number 10883.

I actually ended up here wondering what a Mazda powered plane sounds like from inside the plane. I would have skipped the video if not for the person that posted the time stamps for the music free part.

AviationFX of Santa Paula CA is the company that did the mod. Check out the website and send an email!

paul lamar is running the rotary newsletter

@@verylongname1 After suffering many years with degenerative mental illness, Paul Lamar died in March, 2020.

Yeah man we are very proud of having brought the internet community together on this comment section! :)

* Plain bad editing (I bet your excuse is, it was a pun !!) You made good points though.

So turn the sound off. And make a video of your own. And you are a dog.

Adventure Flying that's awesome!! Why don't you come visit us in Santa Paula someday and surprise him? :) You still do acro?

The Cloud Dancers Team No real acro anymore although I did a small bit with Rich Stowell, another ex SZP, instructor in Idaho last summer. I’ll stop by next time Im down in Santa Paula.

Adventure Flying awesome make sure you message us, contact is in the description or you can find me at facebook.com/theclouddancers

Cryptodoc all of that is unknown, the aircraft was never tested in cruise! :) However it climbs at 90 knots, 60 degrees of pitch, burning 6 gal of ethanol in a 2 min climb and 6 min glide ;)

I would love to hear about the other performance numbers. Truly impressive. I fly a 58 - C180 with O-520. I flight plan my climb at 0.2 (12 min) to 10k 4.5 gallons.

@Brian Foote They got the record, screw you!

Wankel engine

@@sandervanderkammen9230 yeah yeah. "Turbo Wankel"... You and I have had many a discussion about this. Just let me enjoy this shit and keep yourself to yourself.

@@Bearthedancingman Ah, you silly kids with your gutter slang...

@@sandervanderkammen9230 hahaha I'll own up to that one. It's truth after all.

@@Bearthedancingman Cheers! Happy Holidays my friend!

The wankel engine is actually a 2 stroke engine, each rotor has intake, power and exhaust every revolution.

@@rolandcottrell9588 , Wrong.

James Henry, climb optimized? Why would they put a climb optimized prop on for a climb record ? Just does not make any sense. Why wouldn't they use a cruise optimized prop for a timed climb record? DUH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

knight considering in the video he pretty much was gliding down i think james is right.

This is not a World's record, only a class record. The World's record still stands at 51 seconds.

​@@sandervanderkammen9230Class achievement record is still a RECORD. Poster never claimed it was a world record. As I read all these post, every time someone post anything positive about this achievement, you come in to divert and belittle the achievement because you HATE the WANKEL engine.

Did you not see the Turbo charger ????? Go watch the video again and pay attention.

Insane performance though

do a vid about bd5 plz

Total hack job

Without the advancements in metallurgy that are currently available I'm not sure what could have been done back in the 30's and 40's...from Wyoming USA 🇺🇲🤠

This is not a World's record, only a a very insignificant "in class" record.

Thanks to a bit of headwind, we reached the end of the runway at approximately the 9000' mark! The GPS speed was indicating zero...

@@MaurizioPerissinotto That was unreal! Awesome job to the entire team!

Really? If you have to mute a video to watch it, whatever benefit you may have gained from it is severely reduced.

@@ohwell2790 yeah, that's it. Thanks for turning my life around.

Given the horrible reliability and short TBOs on a stock Mazda engine this was probably a one shot deal...

Go back to the funny farm and get spoon fed by a fat nurse

This guy was no where near the World's record, this was only a class record.

Mazda 13B, and a prop of the type that has numerous blades and rotates.

Dude, you win!! Ahahaha!! Tell me your address I will mail you a BD5 sticker!!

No way!! Yay!! Can I message you in private?

Yeah go to www.theclouddancers.com and write to me from the contacts page! :)

The problem, dear Cosimo, seems to be that most viewers are music experts but don't know (or care for) anything about aviation feats! Oh well... :)

@@MaurizioPerissinotto Haha my call has been heard ! All i needed to hear was that engine and that's what i got , people still dont know theres a mute button

....that, and a link to a musicless version on my channel 😅

And y no cowl?

Cowls cost weight, and he's climbing at Vy, where there's not much airspeed. Besides, they'd need a huge custom cowl to cover all that.

Did you not watch the altimeter and do some simple math. Guess you went to public school !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
