Brilliant, learnt a lot from this video. Thanks very much for making it and I hope the channel grows like it ought to.

@onewingspanabove 9 месяцев назад

Thank you for the kind words. We are trying to give back to the community by making this content. Lots of amazing information out there and glad we can do our part!

@rlmrdl 5 месяцев назад

Yep. I don't have the technical chops, but my immediate gut response was, "yeah, nah"

@onewingspanabove 5 месяцев назад

This year we'll find out!!

First time viewer, definitely not last time. My Bachelor Thesis was on WIG aircraft, back in ‘93 at RMIT. Love them. Keep the quality content coming.

@onewingspanabove 3 месяца назад

Thanks heaps! What was your thesis about?

@antonnym214 4 месяца назад

Very nice reporting and analysis. I subscribed immediately, and I shall tell both my friends. All good wishes.

Thanks for this video.

My pleasure!

Even with the ground effect advantage and simpler maritime regulations, a specialized boat like this could have a hard time competing with the economic efficiency of thousands of electric airplanes described in the NASA Regional Air Mobility report. It does look cool!

@onewingspanabove 3 месяца назад

The advantage though they have is that the craft is certified as... a boat! Cheaper maintenance and regulation makes it worthwhile..

As a passionate ground effect enthusiast who worked closely with Hanno Fischer I very much enjoyed your video. Keep them coming - I am excited to see what you do next. Graham Taylor

Thanks Graham! Very excited to have GroundEffect celebrity like you, watching the channel!

Very interesting video. Learnt a lot and would like to suggest you add carbon footprint to comparisons.Excellent video.

@onewingspanabove 3 дня назад

Good suggestion!

I wonder how the testing for landings are going because I have seen ekranoplan landings from within the crafts and they look like back breakers; enough to give backaches to anyone watching from desktop.

@onewingspanabove 7 месяцев назад

Should be reasonably smooth unless you land your craft like James did here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1ILbQHnHPnY.html

Greetings Paul. Thank you for the high quality video and commentary on GE craft. We would like to speak with you regarding new tech in the GE space. We have attempted to connect with you via Li. Regards. Ro

Electric efficiency is measured in Wh/km so perhaps an EV should have been thrown in the mix as a range comparison. That puts this bird at roughly 333Wh/km if it had say a 100Kwh battery (assumed size) like a big Tesla Model X. As a comparison, an average driver of a model x would get 240Wh/km and 410km range from the same battery. Can we get a battery spec on the Viceroy?

@onewingspanabove 8 дней назад

Good idea. No specs are available though for the Viceroy

@berndffm8420 7 месяцев назад

Thank you for this brilliant video. The Seaglider is an interesting concept. But I think wings are to high and to much aspect ratio for a good ground effect. Long wings are also a problem for turns. And have high costs in a harbour. The Seaglider is more a plane flying low. The flight of the 1/4 model is not in ground effect. The WIGs I know all have an electronic system for adjusting the high, even the big russian ekranoplan. An exception are the Tandem Flairboats from Dipl.- Ing. Günther W.Jörg from germany, leaving near where I live. They are stable without electronic.

@onewingspanabove 7 месяцев назад

No probs.. Indeed the Seaglider seems to be an airplane flying low.. They stated on the record though that their 1/4 model was indeed in GE. So within a wingspan away from the surface roughly.. If Regent do this well though, this could open up the market for other "true" skimmachines..

@berndffm8420 7 месяцев назад

I LOVE WIGS ! I am happy with every new model on the market.

@cliffwoodbury5319 7 месяцев назад

the airfish-8 is a class a ekranoplan and this craft (viceroy) is a class c ekranoplan.

@onewingspanabove 5 месяцев назад

The Viceroy is either A or B depending which source you follow.

Lets compare solar powered electric ship vs anything.

@onewingspanabove 9 месяцев назад

You'll have to chat to @RCtestflight for that. :)

@terke1230 4 месяца назад

To make your speed comparison between these craft and the PC-12, you need to discuss indicated airspeed. The Pc-12 will indicate 365 km/hr at 25,000. If the Viceroy can get to 500 feet it can make it higher as the electric motors do not loose power with height as a PC-12 does. At 10,000 feet the Viceroy would true out at 420 km/hr. As for the prototype tail, note the slats added to increase the efficacy of the tail. Furthermore, note the extremely rapid pitch change of the tail as the vehicle pops out of the water indicating that the pitching moment is required for foil compensation.

@onewingspanabove 4 месяца назад

Luckily the Viceroy will never reach the altitudes that the PC-12 can reach!

@gideonporter537 4 месяца назад

I love all the naysayers. NZ has ordered 25 already. Seems a lot of investment for a "maybe" lol

@onewingspanabove 4 месяца назад

Indeed! Unfortunately NZ also paid $228m for a canceled light rail! 😕

@gideonporter537 4 месяца назад

@onewingspanabove THAT is about longterm political will (extremely rare). Sir Dovemeyer Robinson said back in the 60s light rail would be essential to control congestion. He was right then, and now.
