Top 5 Weird Soviet Planes That Actually Flew 

Facepalm Videos YES!

YESSS! YESSS!

i love you, no homo

Negative!

No!

The Concordski definitely plagiarized parts of the Concorde. When it was too late the engineers realised that having the engine pods closer together would be better. Both the Tu144and the B70 learned from it. :) Of course the Tu144 had many other deficiencies e.g. the cabin noise was terrible I understand.

The is much more sophisticated than the Tu-144's which meant it could take off and land without needing to used canards like the Tu-144 has.

Milan Štěpánek I think they were related to Lockheed and Boeings Blended Wing Body and such.

Yeah. Rooms in wings turned out to be an awful idea. When the wings go up and down the people in them do too.

Just Some Guy Ok! Passengers do so in fuselage too.

@@kyle857 its not bad idea and certainly it worked. not to mention that we might end up with that again. both boeing and airbus did show their blended wing ideas.

Fallout 4 memories... *sigh* good times. I remember those planes too. Absolutely humongous

If it breaks down, it's Nazi German.

since when art British planes ugly ?

Oh, dear, where do I start? Let's look at the mass-produced models, military only for starters. Shall we? D.H.2, D.H.3, Scarab, Southampton, Blackburn Blackburn, Amiens, Bison (Avro), Flycatcher, Swordfish, Albacore, ROC (Blackburn), Skua, Barracuda, Heyford, Fulmar, Oxford (DH one), Vampire, Gannet, Attacker (Supermarine), Wyvern, Venom, Sea Vixen, Lightning, Nimrod (especially the AEW one)... The list goes forever. I mean some of them would not have been too ugly if they appeared like 15-20 years before they did. But introducing something like Shackleton in 1951 is just plain ugly.

Sergey Chmelev How dare you? The swordfish is mad sexy

Robeless Sam it would've been if it came up in 1918, and not 1936...

А- Адекватность. Всё с вами ясно, ещё один мамкин эксперт, который поиграл в компьютерную аркадку и думает что всё знает про авиацию.

That must be every German ground trooper's nightmare, a giant THING sneaking up on them in the dark and only activating the engine after it drops the bombs

Ah. Slow like ze OP PO-2. (Fun fact, the PO-2 is the only bi-plane to have destroyed a jet fighter. It did this via its unrealistically slow speed. The jet tried to shoot it down, but had to slow down so much to aim that it fell out of the sky and crashed.)

@@teslashark it would be terrifying, but with engines off, it would probably be very slow and thus easy to hit with an 88mm.

Very cool, no pun intended. Having history in the family like this, and your grandfather willing to talk about it gives an unparalleled history that cannot be found in most books. I envy you, my grandfather was building Sherman tanks in a factory, he died when I was young. Don't even have stories from family for my personal history. My other grandfather is Danish and he passed away before I was born, my mother didn't know if he served. My wife's grandfather was in Pearl Harbor on the Arizona when it was sank. He lived into his 90's but absolutely refused to talk to family about it. The trauma of his time was very hard on him. Her other grandfather spent time in Europe but again no information available. I never wanted the glory of war perspective, I was always interested in the experiences on general.

The Iron Armenian aka G.I. Haigs ohhh I need more of this maybe soviet tanks next time?

The Iron Armenian aka G.I. Haigs the Tu 4 I know the story of the Tu 4

Do more Soviet stuff we love it :D

The Iron Armenian aka G.I. Haigs Awesome ,well researched and great content.

liked it very much! Thank you!

You mean Иван and Дми́трий Right товарищ?

Throttle up Dimitri!

More vodka fixes everything

*START THE ENGINE OR GULAG*

You laugh, but engineers discovered fighter jets reached a level of sophistication where the instruments would actually stick because of interference fits in the gauge mechanism, which normal piston engines would "fix" by vibrating the instruiments and freeing the insides up. A gadget to vibrate the dashboard was necessary on early jet aircraft to unstick the instruments. Engine vibrate is essential to make gauges work!

I shouldn't smile on that.

Me: *looking suspiciously to gulag*

(Wheeze)

I saw I saw it all I saw the death no witnesses

Look at them bots

I built 3 prototypes

It had a vodka distillery in the wing!

+The Budgie Admiral i hope to vist that museum one day Also i'm glad you liked the video :D

But dont visit the museum on a weekend. Even with only the half of the seats, there is not enough room that 2 Visitors can pass, only 2 or 3 small areas where all seats are removed, and only on entrance wich is also the exit

That museum is a blast to visit. We were there all the time when we lived in germany.

Whomst'd've he 49 Engines if you want to number the *YES* XD

Engineer: I-I’m sorry sir, can you ela- Soviet Army: *DID I FUCKING STUTTER?*

laenmowre Engineers: No sir! Soviet army: Good. Now what did I say? Engineers: *sniffling “Yes...”

@@thejay8963 which is how Ekranoplans happened.

more engines means it flies faster

There was actually a counter claim by the Soviets, that Concord, was copied from the Mig-25 interceptor, on which the Tu-144 was heavily based

Form follows function! You want a plane flying supersonic? It has to be shaped like an arrow with darted wings just for physics.

The canards came later as the crashes increased.

@@wernerharms4833 Yup. People ask all the time why all new cars look the same. It's because we've learned that aside from minor styling cues, there is a certain shape that is correct as far as the air it moves through is concerned. And pretty much all cars are a slight variant of that shape. The F-86 and the MiG-15 are remarkably similar, but that's because they were the absolute cleanest, most effective design to be had with what they had to work with then, and their conclusions mirrored in some ways, including general form.

@@ltr4300 Except we don't even remotely use the most efficient shape.

Stalin is are savior if u oppose Cyka blyat you will be sent to Gulag!

just turn on any American major media network.

ant? i thought it was an... antonov planes are with an in the name

Yahuchi Uchiha! Antonov is An-... ANT stands for Андре́й Никола́евич Ту́полев (Andrej Nikolaevic Tupolev) CEO of ZAGI (Central AeroHydrodynamic Institute), leading engineer, lateron general. Until 1942 new planes carried the initials of the leader of the the design bureau (in fact it was merely just one) plus number during developement and tests, once stepped into serial it was the planes role plus number. E.g. И-4 (АНТ-5) is Истребитель(Interceptor)-4, ТБ-3 (АНТ-6) is тяжёлый бомбардировщик(Heavy Bomber)-3. This nomenclatura changed, when more different and better types were needed. ZAGI handed out the requirements of a new plane and different design bureaus developed prototypes in competition. It was now the first two letters of the main constructors surname plus number. Tu(polev)-2, Pe(tyakov)-8, Su(khoj)-2, La(vockin)-5. Exceptions: Mi(koyan)G(uryevic)-3, La(vockin)G(orbunov)G(udkov)-3.

Swiss001 actually said that this aircraft was TOO aerodynamic Sum Ting Wong

"laughs in communism"

Kilo (thousand) meter

Shit I got got

matt klein do the math 10 x 100

Did Jawas pilot the K-7? Looks like a plane atop 2 sandcrawlers.

Btw this ekranoplan could go to sky for up to 500m. This vid did not mention it. So I guess it could make its way to other ponds.

@@yeoldeguard I think i carried anti ship nuclear cruise missiles

@@yeoldeguard 500m? But not for long, right?

they’d probably break it down and load it on a train or truck

They planned on taking it into the ocean, but physics said otherwise

there are no places in Ukraine where there is nothing around for 100-120km. Ukraine is dense enough populated due to more appropriate climate. what you're talking about is siberia and russian north

@@wireman4029 You have different data?

@@cccpredarmy We don't have different data, we have imagination)

Yeah, that was the point.

Oh, they plenty of dank memes to come :D

hey Haigs notice the powered flying wing it's name sounds a little, ummm, "funny" lol :-)

The Iron Armenian aka G.I. Haigs najs

@@TheIronArmenianakaGIHaigs What's the soundtrack in the background?

The 747 is a revolutionary plane and i was born in soviet union. Soviet Union had a lot of smart people, but they all left the country or been killed. Even before ww2 (Talinking about 1941not 1939), stalin killed a lot of officers that maybe was not very good but at least had some experience. The results were catastrophic .Millions killed and captured . Every famous person that Russians are proud of now were executed or died in Jail, Famous engineers , writers and inventors. Russians say that Sikorsky is russian. No ! he is not he is american you kicked him out of the country he became us citizen so he is american.

is he in the 11th room?

The Cat With a Top Hat Oh my god your right.

The Cat With a Top Hat I see him too lol

Sovet

SOVIET RUSSIA

This is because of the poor and changing fuel quality soviet refineries were able to deliver. The higher they pitch the performance of the engines with this fuel the less endurance they have.

@@adamfarra4692 probably a mix of bad designs, cost cutting and unrefined fuel. Could be wrong but I think they also cut it with alcohol during shortages, something that messes up fuel lines and other rubber / plastic components

That is false, look at the MiG25/31

Look at the Tu-95 look at the Tu-160

While that depends on which type of engine you have in mind, that statement (of Russians being unable to make high power engines) is generally wrong. After all, the most powerful turboprop engines to ever fly are of Soviet design (Kuznetsov NK-12, if I remember correctly - look up Tu-95 and Tu-114, the fastest propeller driven planes in level flight), and some very powerful jet engines too (MiG-25, heavy interceptor made of steel(!) capable of Mach 2,8 in normal flight mode - if you're not afraid of overburning the engine it can go up to Mach 3,2. Also, engines powering heavy bomber Tu-160, which are the most powerful military engines (and there's four of them in that aircraft!)) The only real problem with Russian and Soviet high power engines is their short service life compared to American and British ones.

Black Everything K there is no such thing as drinking too much vodka

DeV_ULtor i guess so

Vodka make you stronk

Or rather not enough vodka

Jesus Christ, don’t drink Vodka when designing a plane

I don't know about the pedals but reports on the Tu-4 said that it even suffered from the same engine overheating that plagued the B-29. Talk about a true clone....

Gus Davis I don’t know if this is true, but I heard that the B-29 they tore down had a bullet hole in the instrument panel and every Tu-4 had a hole in the exact same spot.

Actually, the engine was one of the very few parts of B-29 that was not copied directly, but rather developed (with some parts of R-3350) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shvetsov_ASh-73

What if the american plane was the copy because the russians did it first

@@dankmemes2354 don't think that's true. Russia copied a lot from America including train locomotives, American car designs and the space shuttle. They made some damn good helicopters and rockets before the S.U. fell though

i'm glad you like my videos :D

The Iron Armenian aka G.I. Haigs :3

You do know that he said fighter plane right?

@@deleteduser87 you mean like the Komet which was a full year before the BI-1?

The Russians were always at the cusp of aircraft design, right from the beginning. As he started to go into, if not hamstrung with political unrest and the whims of a dictator, coupled with shortages of raw materials and poor manufacturing ability, they could have OWNED aviation at the time....but also being too insular kept them from understanding the potential in aviation too...didn't hurt in the long run though...for combat and transport aircraft that are effective and robust and economical to maintain, much of the world likes their offerings...

@@ltr4300 As designers, the Soviets were often very good. What let them down was always the manufacturing capability. In 1917, the Russian Empire was still pretty much an agrarian society, in which most people lived lives pretty much identical to those lived by Russian peasants centuries earlier. The Bolsheviks tried to industrialise the entire nation as fast as possible, with only middling success, and they always had terrible problems with quality control and materials, but they sure could make a lot of it. There's a quote by a Finn (Mannerheim, I think?) from 1940, just after the Winter War, where he remarks that if you had told him before the invasion that the entire Soviet Union possessed 10,000 motor vehicles, he would have laughed at you, but that was the number they had counted as destroyed or captured during just that one war. Of course, a lot of them were garbage, but "quantity has a quality all of its' own"

@@talltroll7092 That quote is a myth

The soviets were often way ahead of their time. the F-35 lightning's VTOL system is a direct copy of the YAK-141, which was made 40 years prior to the introduction of the F-35. Here's a video of the YAK-141 flying; ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6R18uBA-QfY.html

@@RainytheNB Yeah, the russians made everything first. It explains why most russian designs have their origins in stolen / leased material from the west. The russians learned how to build tanks from US and Germany. Their main fighter engines of WW2 are derived from a US model. They are just not good at engineering. They are mediocre. Thats why nobody but very poor countries buy their stuff (with a lot of lobbying help). China overtook russia in 30 years, now building ALL the stuff in the world. The old soviet culture of lies and not admitting failure always lost when reality knocked at its door. And today? T14 = failure, army doesnt order any significant numbers. PAK-FA = failure... russian airforce is not interested. You know where the best russian engineers are? In the west, where they can actually do good work and get paid for it.

22:28 room 11

this. Tu-144 is successor of T-4 Sotka bomber, which were heavily inspired by XB70.

"..ski" is typical end of name for Polish not Russians. If you see Russian that is using name that is ending with "..ski" then you can bet that one of his ancestors ended up in Syberia or something for participating in a uprising against Russia, for example: Ciołkowski->grandfather of space travel, Sikorski->"mr helicopter". Its kinda funy that Sikorky company have bought helicopter factory in Poland and building them here now. ;)

I'm with You. I'd rather see it being similar to a ship or hovercraft.

Actually, tickets for the Concorde costed 83 rubel, which was half a month's salary for regular people. It was not nearly as expensive as the Concorde, which was built in France for the rich and celebrities.

@@YouCanCallMeVCH the reason why it was so much cheaper was for propaganda reasons as the tu-144 costed more to fly with less fuel-efficient engines. The Russian government lost tons of money each flight to give off the illusion of better technology as they did with everything.

@@f8f8esufj2a1 I wish my country would make travel much cheaper for "propaganda reasons". When there is a real progress for "propaganda reasons" there is still a real progress.

The USSR fell into a shithole of capitalism Russia’s first president was a drunken oligarch who owned all the resources that the USSR had, pyramid schemes and scams appeared everywhere And they expect everyone what to do with money?

@@f8f8esufj2a1 From what I understand it was very uncomfortable and very, very loud in the passenger cabin.

Stalinium :D

Considering how many nuclear weapons WERE later air-dropped during R&D; his statement is not far off at all.

@@goofyleo3869 he clearly said "IN COMBAT". the others were dropped during testing.

I can try to get you some good ground effect footage because I own an old Piper Cherokee and live at 3,000ft.
