The Ju287 was made from the fact that airspeed/lift on the wings would be the highest by the plane's body this way (And not on the wingtips) and leaving the center of gravity free for the bomb-load. I had some pictures of it with small strips on the wing to prove the airflow from this theory. And a passenger plane was made after the war, with its wings pointed forward. Also a later American fighter had its wings like this.

@bigblue6917 Год назад

Junkers Ju 287. Why you should not design an aircraft when you have a hangover. Some have said that the Horten HO 229 was a stealth aircraft. The problem with this idea is that this claim did not come about until the 80s when people were looking at stealth technology. One of the Horton brothers saw a chance to get in on it all and made the claim. No such claim existed when the brothers were question just after WW2. The other problem was that one of the components of the glue being used on the aircraft actually increased the radar signature making it easier to be seen by radar.

So much so that they (the researchers), based on these results came to the conclusion that no defence squad sitting on the ground, at reduced alert, would have been airborne fast enough for intercept while in route if a flight of HO 229 were approaching on sea level.

@robertoroberto9798 9 месяцев назад

No? The team said that the Horten only had about 80% RCS of the BF-109, mainly due to wooden construction. This gives enough time for any RADAR to detect it and then scramble interceptors to intercept the Horten.

*"Unfortunately,* it wasn't built in time to change the outcome of the war." "I wish this had been built, because it would have put the Allies into a tailspin." Jeez, which side are you on?

@repairworld2367 Месяц назад

So insane that most of the allies tried building some of these in the future 😮😮

I think the EF009 could have been a great weapon, because aircraft of the time could not break the sound barrier (Not under control anyway), but could potentially climb at exceptionally high speeds relative to other aircraft of the time, without nearing Mach 1.

Holy shit. The flying triangle is literally just the ship from the SHMUP Platypus

@IshijimaKairo Год назад

As far as I remember, weren't there 2-3 Ho-229s being built at the end of the war that got captured in Paperclip or something?

@klaus-peterborn1370 Год назад

2 where build complete, but one crahed in testflights. a third was almoust complete and was under US paperclip visitors finished. 6 in build where scrapped

@cark79 Год назад

I am still impressed about your research to these epochs of flight technology. Especially the goal fighter jet.

Sack AS-6, Observational abilites. The pilot: can't see a thing because of the wing.

Some of these planes are crazy I think some of them were used in place of the planes for the marvelverse or atleast in the comics I know the weird rotating engine plane and the flying wings were used in the Captain America movie atleast the first one were cap gets to beat the crap out of red skull he has flying wings set to attack America

The Horten Ho-IX glider was the basis for the Gothaer Wagenfabrik Go-229 which was built to the three times 1,000 project (speed of 1,000kph, fly 1,000 kilometers, and carry 1,000 kilograms of bombs). Missed the Me-262 HG-II and HG-III

Not only that! There were a lot more Messerschmitt Projects! Many Jetfighter Concepts that looked way ahead of their time! P.1110 for example, or P.1101 which really existed as Mock-Up in Bavaria by the end of WW2 and led to the Bell X-5 in the US!😉

Bro the Germans were playing kerbal space program long before it was made.

@Kualinar Год назад

I had a scale model of the Dornier Do 335. Pretty interesting plane.

@dvd1098 Год назад

I like to see an ace combat game based on failed experimental fighters such as these but made by the Belkans.

@maatchaos3338 Год назад

EF 009 looks like my Planes in Kerbal Space Program

@ForeverFlame88 7 месяцев назад

Wow! A firmament-scraping plane that bounces off the stratosplane?!?!?! Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@timuhlmann5715 5 месяцев назад

HO229 wasnt planed as a bomber, it was planed to be an interceptor, not like the B2 spirit bruh

@kevinhambsch9201 Год назад

Re the Do 335...the fighter was called the Arrow, the trainer was called the Anteater. Auf Deutsch, that is.

In the first Captain America movie Red Skull used the Triebflugel to escape one of his HYDRA factories.

The Arado AR-381 was my favorite design.

You guys finally did a video with the Super Lorin in it. Nice!

@loganb7059 14 дней назад

I like how the title specifies planes that “never took off” yet I’m 3 of these did indeed take off and one wasn’t even a real design, but a hoax

@Tiredofdawgz Год назад

Love the pun in the title

@mrrolandlawrence Год назад

1:18 i believe it was also called the flying beer tray by the germans...

@qwertydavid8070 4 месяца назад

dr seuss-looking ahh planes hayao mizaki goofy ahh-looking flying machines Honestly, all of these designs would fit well in some sort of sci-fi settings. They really wouldn't look out of place in something like star-wars. Sometimes reality comes up with more unique designs than fiction.

@danielmolinar8669 3 месяца назад

It honestly says alot about your aircraft design when even a fictional experimental aircraft from a video game is more realistic.
