There are now Velocity XLs with 375hp engines and one was built with a jet-prop engine. The XL is their flagship...the twin was meant to be a safer plane to fly at night and uses the same 4-seat airframe (with an added tail section) but it is slower and less fuel efficient than the XL. Velocity has a 3-year back-order queue attesting to the popularity of the aircraft.

@lukasethan6429 Год назад

Respect. I see you’re wearing a starship shirt. They build them here in Wichita, Kansas, and I actually worked in the plant they built them at, although it was years later. Beechcraft and Raytheon was my first journey into aviation manufacturing. I later became a excellent fabricator and 2nd level manager at Boeing and then Spirit Aerosystems. Finished my aircraft voyage at GE aviation, and then is subsequent small aircraft company. It’s nice being reminded of the awesome aviation history that I grew up around and didn’t even realize call unique it was. Thank you very much.

@Kneedragon1962 3 года назад

When Rutan was at Beech, developing the Starship, they made a test unit that had the full size & full power turboprops, but it was otherwise a 7/8 scale model. It didn't have flaps and it didn't have the silly hydraulic yaw damper, and it's weight was more like half what a finished production Starship was. Everybody who ever flew it, loved it. It was fast, it handled beautifully, it wouldn't stall, it was more than capable of doing beginner level aerobatics. It could fly safely at 60 knots and with full back-stick as low as about 55, and it would touch 300 at altitude. It was somewhat under-weight & over-powered but it was the most magnificent aeroplane to fly. It had room for passenger seats in the cabin but I'm not sure they ever installed any. The name 'Starship One' was later coined for production versions but inside the shop. 'Starship One' meant that 7/8s model. That was a magnificent aeroplane. It just worked better in every way than it should have.

@gormauslander 2 года назад

I'm told the people who fly the full production model also love them, but I can see how this lighter model would have been awesome to have

I remember as a Aircraft Mechanic working at Addison Airport(north of Dallas) a Airshow going on and Starship One (the 7/8 Proto) on Final approach, gliding in, and a small slow ac, like a 152 taking off on the same runway very slow, then the Starship Punched the throttles and spinning away( I'm sure just part of the show) and came around again and landed. it made a Huge impression on that once Young Aircraft Mechanic, Still Fascinated with Canards, I just retired after 37 + years at American Airlines, I remember this like it happened yesterday, but it was in the mid 80's !

So, clear up something if you would please. Is the canard a lift producing structure, or merely a horizontal stabilizer mounted forward? I recall reading, some years ago that the aircraft under discussion in the article shared lift production with the main wing. How would this effect control? I guess I would like to see the video on the physics, issues, and advantages too.

@ahashdahnagila6884 3 года назад

@@chuckaddison5134 The Quickie, the Q2, (and the Dragonfly, which wasn't shown), and some others are essentially "biplanes", because they produce a significant amount of lift (the canard wing of a Q2, for example, accounts for 40% of the lift). In those aircraft where the canard is small, it functions as the plane's elevator, solely (or, primarily).

@douggraham5812 3 года назад

@@chuckaddison5134 In a conventional plane, the horizontal stabilizer produces negative lift. In a canard, the stabilizer produces positive lift. This gives the same stabilizing effect, but improves efficiency and allows for a smaller main wing. The canard stalls before the main wing, which drops the nose; the main wing therefore cannot stall.

Built of wood, the aircraft was designed and built in 1945 to test the novel canard configuration. It also used a tricycle undercarriage, the first used by the OKB. It was modified to test a variety of vertical stabilizer and wingtip configurations and was later used as a liaison aircraft for many years by the design bureau."

I was waiting for an explanation of why canard airframes have different stall characteristics. Do you have a video explaining the aerodynamics and engineering?

@yellow17pig 3 года назад

@T38 Talon that makes sense, and sounds vaguely familiar. That explains why some of the front surfaces are canards, and some are auxiliary wings.

@ErikssonTord_2 2 года назад

If you have a biplane with two identical wings and rig them slightly different, the bottom one set at a slightly higher angle, and use negative stagger (the lower wing forward of the upper wing) the lower wing will stall first, making the plane unwilling to stall. If you add elevators to the lower wing you have a canard aircraft, if you add a conventional tail you have a Beech Staggerwing! If the forward wing has lower span and shorter chord you can sweeten the forward wing's stalling further, as seen on the Avanti (which is a biplane, not a canard, as it has a normal tail).

@fredbecker607 Год назад

With a canard, the front wing/ canard stalls first and that drops the front of the plane. That keeps the main wing from stalling. Some could fly in what was called porpoise maneuver. Bring front up stalling, drop get speed and do it again. The canard is actually a lifting surface where in a normal configuration, the tail is giving downward force. In a normal configuration, the main wing is the first to stall and the last thing to stall.

@yellow17pig Год назад

@@fredbecker607 Thank you. This is clear. From your comment, and other info, It seems that a "canard" specifically requires that the fore-wing stalls before the main wing. If it did not stall first, it would not be a canard.

You mentioned the falcon was part 103 no license required, but for those that won’t pass the medical,( in my case because of a dui , years ago ) I wish you could point out which are sport pilot capable, I’d believe because of the cruise speed most would not, but I do love Routan’s canard design, elegance, efficiency, performance, I surprised more builders dident follow the platform, I digress, are any of the fore mentioned sport pilot capable?

It'd be interesting to see the front rudder design again, but with downward/bidirectional winglet stabs on the main surface... this way you could conceivably put both the front and rear gear inside flight surfaces on already rigid members, and have tricycle gear. :+ )

Its been my life dream have follow the space cowboy since the discovery or invention & continued development Burth Rutan, been to Lancaster Ca to see more of the grand accomplishment that it's been minimized as to the further development of the voyager into outer space, it's been a giant step o s in the canard design

Not to forget the Eagle Aircraft 150 ... an Australian designed two-seat single-engine (125hp) composite aircraft. It has three lifting surfaces : forward wing (foreplane), main wing (mainplane) and horizontal stabilizer (tailplane). Originally designed and built by Eagle Aircraft Pty Ltd, and now manufactured in Malaysia. Good pilot visibility.

@daveklingler820 Год назад

The Eagle was actually designed by American John Roncz, Burt Routan's wing designer.

no mention of Rutan's Variviggen?

Just "one" problem with canard wings: visibility. Anyways, a useful video.

@marksmovies6191 3 года назад

Well, having flown a Long EZ i can tell you that you can only see the very tips of the canard, basically all you can see of the plane is the instrument panel and your legs if you look down. The visibility is like sitting on the tip of an arrow, you can see up, down and all around, nothing else comes close.

@macrumpton 3 года назад

You almost could have called this "planes by Burt Rutan". You forgot his solitaire glider and the Ares jet fighter though and Rutan's Voyager (first nonstop circumnavigator)? And what about the Saab Viggen?

@kdrapertrucker Год назад

I like Rutan's boomerang. But he only built one as his personal aircraft. Twin engine, assymmetical layout

You got one of the "honorable mentions" at 10:37 somewhat wrong, and there is actually quite a story behind this: What was at some point offered as the "Bateleur" is actually a design by the german engineer Richter who called it the "Delta Dart". It was developed to fit into the german ultralight category and it was also certified in that category (The design is still registered today). Unfortunately Richter crashed during a demonstration flight with a potential buyer and died. Now here's where the Bateleur story begins: A german-austrian wannabe-entrepreneur named Von Schoenebeck had attempted to market the original plane, but once Richter was out of the picture he took some plans and tools, boarded a plane to South Africa and within a short period of time he suddenly came up with a brand new plane called "Bateleur" - which looked suspiciously similar to the "Delta Dart". Alas, he had no commercial success. One empty hull of a bateleur was mounted outside an airfield, the red-and-silver one in your videoclip crashed and one still remains to be found.

Raptor is coming!

@DiverJames 3 года назад

Came here to see if the Raptor got a mention. Whilst the prototype hasn’t flown yet, as far as I know, it one of the few (if not only) completely new canard designs being developed. A lot of canards are derivates of Rutan’s designs, but the Raptor is original. If the Raptor’s design goals are met, it is going to be an amazing machine!

@ssoffshore5111 3 года назад

@@DiverJames I too came for this. I hope it pans out, I'd love to buy one if it even comes close to meeting its goals...

Always loved the velocity. But these planes are a thing of the past. I don’t know why.

@Robert-mn8gc Год назад

2 Aircraft l would really love ❤️ 2 own . A Velocity with a 441 cu inch LS , LT or Hemi SB & the Quickee Q200 . Just respect the thought process gone in2 these Planes . Small Aircraft haven't really changed the conventional shape over the yrs . These 2 have .
