Remarkable. Never knew of such a craft.
wild design!
1900s.??
See. This is why Test Pilots make the "big buck$".
One of the most dangerous aircraft to fly..... The widow maker..
I am a retired V-22 Flight Test mechanic. The V-22 is a solid aircraft and an excellent platform, lots of ignorant comments here from armchair experts.
President Ronald W. Reagan America Era 🇺🇸🫡
Can’t land like a plane. Can’t autorotate like a helicopter. Has killed to the point it was reassigned to other duties. Money pit!
Can absolutely land like a plane, can absolutely autorotate it just will be a very rough landing due to the low rotor mass, Doesnt need to autorotate since it can glide like a plane.
This is the worst and most dangerous THING in the sky then and even now. It must be complicated enough to fly a single planecopter let alone trying to contral a dual planecopter. lol
Thanks.
I've observed these things in late night deep desert special ops exercises: when they work...there is simply nothing at all which remotely even compares.
say the people who haven't even served in the military much less done anything else positive for society what have you created today other than a twisted caricature of what a healthy society contains a society that's tearing itself apart by virtue of the counterintuitive moral values or I should say the lack there of. society with its hands out not with humble helping hands. a society with its mouth wide open screaming vile demands instead of closed in reverence.
If only they would listen.
I love Tiltrotor, for the shape and its capability, i admire XV-3, XV-15, V-22, BA- 609, Eagle Eye TR-918, V-247, V-280, I wish each plane is continually production, and have civil version too, and maybe the Eagle Eye convert into manned personal Tiltrotor, or just 4 seater version. And for air ambulance..
Unsafe at any speed.
No, they are simply unsafe in their own downwash. Gotta keep the forward momentum.
N64 Decapitator! I couldn't believe that was on the side.
More like a nightmare. Too complex, too expensive. It's a deadly boondoggle.
If those Marines only knew how many of them would die in the V22, I doubt they'd be playing. These war industry execs are horrible monsters. We are tired of the endless wars for no good purpose.
V22's safety is similar to that of the Blackhawk.
@@THESocialJusticeWarrior v22 is slightly better by crashes per 100,000 flight hours if i remember correctly. Plus the recent crash most people base there opinion of the craft on was completely on the pilot in command who ignored several chip or metal in the gear box indicators till the metal disintegrated the gearbox and engines.
i was right v22 is 3.43 per 100,000 flight hours. uh 60 is 17.06 accidents per 100,000 flight hours.
@@jameslochhead5068 The issue is 'Blackhawk/SeaHawk crashes are often survivable, where as the V-22 crashes not. There is a reason why the Marines were the only branch who initially approved flying the V-22... The Marine Corps attitude toward danger and life threatening situations is something else.
None of these men made Sadam invade Kuwait
Very crappy video quality.
This video was made in 1988
No, it really adds to the vintage 80s atmosphere.
*proceeds to be more lethal than the enemy*
what happened at 4:00 I feel like i was being transported through the 9 levels of hell super scary!
Thanks!
Who couldnt love the VFS, thanks for posting!
I think it looks awesome.
Helicopter 🚁
Oh look, a people chopper....
The the video but the flickering is anoghing.
Autonomous=They couldn't find anyone with the balls to fly the damn thing. Anything glitches and it goes splat! LOL
Even though I have a fairly good grasp of aerodynamics and helicopter control fundamentals, I still find helicopters to be incredible contraptions.
Seems like this video is 50+ years old.
Significant lift enhanced from low ceiling above the craft, and induced low pressure area above it -- reverse of ground effect. It's unclear that Atlas would have succeeded in still air, over an open tarmac, with only the sky above it. The low ceiling also restricted and impacted re-circulation patterns for each rotor at the center of the craft. I'm not sure why the AHS Sikorsky Prize team never questioned this, as it appears to be a carefully constructed breach of the original prize intent. This fact was carefully avoided in their ground effect modelling. Many people flying drones inside have already encountered the strong suction effect of getting to close to the ceiling ... which unlike ground effect is pretty stable, getting close to the ceiling rapidly increases lift until it impacts the ceiling uncontrollably. Google this: "quadcopter near ceilings" When the quadcopter is wider than the ceiling height by multiples, this additional lift is unavoidable.
What are your predictions for the next video?
This looks like something out of the future yet it’s like 80 years old
the wing is structurally inadequate quite obviously and severely compromised by having so many ducts in it (Ryan vertifan style late 1950s tech ) and would have numerous unsurvivable failure modes if it ever made it into full scale use. It won't.
This video needs an epilepsy warning.😅
Hey! I don't have epilepsy But good call Mad-Dog. I think I may still have some VCR head clearner from the 80's if that will help their video. Cheers!
Nice talking. I couldn't see the aircraft behind you though.
That's ok as long as you add the sound of a R985
This is just amazing. (I’m going to ignore the video quality, it is what it is as the kids say today.) These craft may be strange looking, fragile, and so forth. The fact that they can get off the ground at all is a testament to the passion and hard work of their designers and everyone who worked on them. I congratulate them on their successes and wish them many more. As materials technology improves I expect more and more improvements. Even with the existing limitations at 71 I felt like a child again, grinning from ear to ear watching them fly!
Agree
The advantage of a helicopter in a plane. Very nice.
This VTOL & flight concept is unique. At first I thought this was another one of these oddball planes, but this is different. However there is another type in this same space which is egg shaped, gas powered, not VTOL, and seems very practical.
Congratulations on being a Canadian company doing sustainable aviation work that can have a profound positive effect on aviation around the world.
Best 😊🎉
Nice capture, thanks
I flew the QH50-D model DASH off this ship (DD-807) in 1969/70 on a WestPac deployment. Video show the earlier C model with split tail fins.
Menos mal que nunca se elevó ya me imagino en un viaje largo un solo pasajero y se caiga ese artefacto
"Anti-gravity" is a bullshit term as gravity doesn't exist! There's absolutely no propulsion of these machines, they're electromagnetic! Gravity doesn't exist only density! Put a raw egg into a cup of "Fresh" water and another into salt water! One floats while the other sinks! Why? Density. Drop a one lb brick from 100' & a pound of feathers at the same time, which hits the ground first? "Awe, C'mon man", it's elementary! 🦧🤣🥃🍺
If you want to shoot from the platform, it should probably have machine guns mounted on it.
the yellow-and-red looks great!
Hands in the pocket, a good sign he's transferring your dollars to the other pocket. Take care of your past customers on the 162f sitting in the barn with a screwed up motor, "me thinks you part of the clown world"
Well david, why don't you effing honor your past customers on the rotor way 162f helicopter since we've got Julian's of dollars invested in it or do you intend to screw over your low life legacy customers ? I sure hate wasting a hundred thousand dollars
Have you met the De-evolved - souless Eugenics? Freed from long-held universal moral imperatives, the global transhumanist movement that nudges the masses to consume its wares also manipulates, patents, and, in this present "third-wave marketization" of the global economy, commodifies the raw materials of life. It pretends to be not merely a master of mimicry -biometrics, but an omnipotent all-knowing creator of material substance. God-level: "Divinity," according to WEF spokesman Harari, "is not far enough to describe what we are trying to do. Transhumanism is sweeping the world is, and we need to question it immoral imperatives that will enslave humanity . Don't be sheep led to the slaughter .
