To start flying can be very expensive. As the size of an airplane does affect the prices, we have a look at the smallest mini aircraft in the world today. All of the mini aircraft come with an engine and can be operated by a pilot. Some of the mini aircraft engine are in the ultralight aircraft category and some are even compliant with the Part 103 regulation which means you can fly those mini planes without a license in the US. We even found an insane small helicopter for the ones that are more interested in helicopters than in jet.
Would you fly a mini airplane? Tell us in the comments below!

With the twin Williams FJX-1 engines, the CMC Leopard had a *top speed of 540 mph,* not 345 (and this plane was designed in the 1980s). It had a pressurized cabin with a service ceiling of 55,000 feet and a climb rate of 6,340 feet per minute. With those specs, *the plane could have flown coast to coast in about 4 hours.* Unfortunately, due to suppliers going out of business, the project became stalled. Eventually, the owner of the project passed away, and it seems likely that this plane will never ever achieve commercial success.

@mr.america9806 2 года назад

Do you know the cost of purchase and ownership ?

@thebonesaw..4634 2 года назад

@@mr.america9806 -- Is your google broken? Sure, I've got nothing better to do, I'll be your personal assistant. Says here the purchase price of a Leopard Six (which seats six peoples) is $2.35 million American dollars. Operating costs are going to be a bit harder since the damn thing isn't operational yet; but... using a Lear 60 (which seats 9, including the pilot and copilot) it costs a bit over $800,000 per year for 200 flight hours, or... $1.2 million for 400 flight hours. HOWEVER... the thrust of a single Pratt & Whitney PW305A on the Lear 60 is 4,700 to 8,000 lbs. While the thrust of the Williams FJX-1 is a scant 700 lbs (the Leopard six is tiny). Ergo, fuel costs are going to be massively lower. I would estimate it would be well bellow $300,000 per year for 200 hours of operation.

Back in the early 80's there was a guy that used to frequent the FBO I worked at at Hawthorne, CA (KHHR) who had built a CriCri (Cricket) that he used to show off at local and regional airshows. I remember that the plane was painted with a green that very much matched the name of the plane... CRICKET. I don't even remember his name, but do recall that he was a pretty big dude and was always impressed that he even fit into the cockpit, much less flown the thing. Last I heard was that this guy died in some sort of incident with the plane.

Yes, it does make it zero emissions. Emissions created in production are not the same as emissions created by the product. It's always odd when people claim this. Regular ICE automobiles are created using vastly more emissions but the emissions in production are not counted. It's just nonsense to attempt to belittle electric vehicles this way as if no one knows.

@chevyon37s 2 года назад

Emissions are considered what the vehicles emits as its in use. You’re referring to the carbon footprint, which is the total of emissions from production and over the life cycle of the vehicle. Yea it sounds simple to just call it the emissions. But the greenies and climate change crazies use it as marketing and I’m glad people are starting to wake up to the BS that is “zero emission” vehicles.

Thus "stomach" is correct usage here when referring to an amputation (gory) and the location of this amputation on the body AND the inability to maintain one's composure during that amputation.

@mmpiforall5913 2 года назад

The BD-5 / BD-5J where great flyers, but had a deadly pitch-up to a stall as soon as the engine quit, the pilot must push the stick forwards to nose over right away even at high altitudes. Why? the engine trust line was way above the centerline of the airframe. During powered flight, built in nose up bias compensates the hi trust line of the engine. The prop version with an engine failure was worst for an immediate nose-up stall since the stationary prop also caused drag. If a pilot was not fully versed on this issue the results often was fatal. Would I still fly one? Yeah.

@jovankafudge9839 11 месяцев назад

The smallest mini aircrafts that I seen Close to Baldwin park in LA CA between 1980-1982 had the Capacity to takeoff and land without even needing an airstrip. The pilot could literally fly it to a house in a residential area, land in the middle of the street, Then jump out to go get his lunch then jump right back in and fly off without much effort. It was not a dream because me and some other kids watched it happen on three occasions in the night while we was standing on the playground at Hillcrest elementary school.

@Gamble661 2 года назад

One of the major issues with aircraft that are that light is that if there's any appreciable wind then good luck controlling it never mind getting it back on the ground. I speak from personal experience because once I was dumb enough to fly one of these deathtraps (prop driven, not a jet). I'm a commercial pilot btw so I know how to fly. I took off in calm conditions but about 40 minutes later when I returned and tried to land (small airport, 1,700 foot runway) there was a nasty crosswind gusting across the field, nothing that would have meant a thing in any real airplane; a Piper or Cessna single engine for instance. But I couldn't get the thing on the ground, it was getting blown all over the place, it was like trying to fly a butterfly. Finally, after I can't recall how many attempts I was almost out of fuel (I knew this because the fuel tank was a plastic container behind my seat) I just came in and planted the thing in the grass next to the runway. It was no longer flyable after that but I didn't give a shit by that point because other than some bruises I was still alive...never ever again.

Empty weight doesn't include fuel. That 200lbs useful load on the Stits SA-2A Sky Baby means you could carry a 140lbs pilot and 10 gallons of fuel (~6lbs/gal). Considering even small aircraft engines burn in excess of 10gph during climb, that isn't much flight time.

I rarely leave negative reviews but the editing of the first featured plane was awful, the extreme closeups and panning aren't hiding the fact the plane is parked in a museum and the camera tricks didn't convey a sense of motion as apparently was hoped for. Aside from that a decent video except for the multiple like and subscribe requests

@BeyondFacts 2 года назад

Hi cha1rtech, thanks for your honest feedback. I apologize if the video quality was not at the level you are used to. We did not try to hide the fact that the Stits is parked in a museum, but I will check if we can change the editing style to improve our quality. Regarding the two times, we request you to like and subscribe. Unfortunately, RU-vid has become so competitive that you have to include those in the videos if you want to grow as a small creator. I try my best to make it in the most polite and fun way possible. Again if you didn't like it, I'm very sorry. But I want to thank you for taking the time and explaining what you didn't like about the video because only with feedback like yours can I improve over time and become better.

"...one of their pilots died during testing. That's a clear sign to stay away" In that case better stay away from nearly all aircraft as countless pilots have pushed the boundaries of aviation and paid for it with their lives sometimes. Including, but not limited to, a Wright Model A aircraft at Fort Myer, Virginia, in the United States in 1908, injuring its co-inventor and pilot, Orville Wright, and killing the passenger.
