Why all the photos of canard aircraft and the Catbird (not a canard or tandem), when this is about Tandem Wing planforms?

It is a shame that the leading Swiss engineers who were the first to develop the supercritical wing profiles were unable to achieve commercial success, because the government got cold feet because of two crashes of the military prototypes. Mr Lear immediately recognized this and acquired the patents and construction details. Well done Bill! - It took a few decades before Switzerland was able to (re-)build a successful aircraft industry again with Pilatus. And the Pilatus 21 and 24 were able to set milestones again.

Well $400 per hour isn't so bad if it can only stay in the air for an hour.

My first ride in an aircraft was in an RC-3 and the age of seven/eight (1955/56). I'm 76 now and acquired my seaplane rating in 1982 flying out of Great Pond in Belgrade Lakes, Maine (of On Golden Pond fame) fourteen years after my privates in 1968. Spent my years renting a 172 on floats from Twitchells SPB in Turner Maine. Being a Maine resident there were seldom situations where there was no water below thus Maine is a seaplane aviator's hunting/fishing paradise. Today as do so many, I still have a heart for this wonderful odd looking but beautiful airplane and the fond memories that launched my entry into civil and military aviation.

There were almost twice as many 172s built and yet there are half as many on the market- and before you try and get smart the crash data shows that accidents and airframe losses are almost twice as high in a 182 vs a 172. That should tell you everything you need to know about which Cessna is best.

I've flown both, and I fell in love with the Tomahawk. The stability was outstanding! The only disadvantage for me was the limited visibility below the aircraft.

You realize the F-5 and T-38 are the same airframe right? Kind of a silly comparison.

Wow, I thought the Viper was just an RC model

great description. do not forget the Sinus Flex with interchangeable wing tips. span 14.97m / 49' 1" with long tips, like the Sinus span 12.46m / 40' 11" with short tips, like the Virus RoC 1,063 fpm at 71 mph, T/O 820' at MTOM, Vc 127 mph (75% power), Vmax 132 mph,

Why can't we have nice things

not enough.

These modern day conversion rates like this guy did are laughable. I bet a math expert would come up with a figure of from 500-750 K .

Why no HUD unit? I thought a big part of having a HUD unit is to keep the pilot's eyes on the world outside and not inside the cockpit.

ya missed the Christen Eagle in your history of kit built aircraft ,The Eagle kit was revolutionary in home built aircraft . it was such a complete kit that the boxes the parts were shipped in had box cutters on the outside to open them. you could be locked in your workshop withe kit and when you came out would have a completly finished airplane all that was needed extra was a battery. Google "Christen Eagle "

Now this is the kind of stuff I wanna see

ok

Please do a video with the other Long-EZ descendant: the Cozy mk IV, a four place long distance homebuilt airplane.

Surprised not to see mention of the Bede BD-10 here.

I LOVE THIS AIRCRAFT

Beautiful bird. Its a shame its disapearence.

What would be a Interesting video is the Viper jet vs. the BD-10.

1:18 that’s my bird!

That’s my 206!

I don’t think the author knows the difference between indicated airspeed and true airspeed 6:08

Yet another plastic fantastic, but where is the market for it ?

So luxorious

A gas turbine (as in a turbojet or turbofan) is a *combustion* engine. What did you think the fuel did in the combustion chambers? A gas turbine - in its normal form such as used in aircraft - is even an _internal_ combustion engine, because the combustion in inside the engine, in the working fluid (air) flow. A gas turbine engine is not a *piston* engine, which is the term which should have been used. The difference is that combustion is continuous in a turbine engine, and inherently interrupted in a piston engine.

It is a shame that it does not have the range of the DA 62. Then they would have an awesome aircraft, with also a pressurised cabin to take it to 30,000ft and a 5 bladed propeller. This to give it range and speed.

Please either add credit somewhere in your video to The Planes of Fame Air Museum and Clay Lacy for the use of the footage of Clays jet or please remove our footage. Clays is the jet painted in Special Ops grey color scheme with the onboard external cameras and runway shots.

I want one lol

Details: at 6:04 the pump shown is described as the electric gear power pack. That particular pump shown is a Dukes fuel pump, not the Cessna electro-hydraulic power pack unit. Otherwise, very informative video, thanks.

Currently fly a 69 Grumman Yankee with the o-235. Can use ethanol free gas so its under 4 a gallon burning 6 per hour in cruise. Cant get a lot of weight in it but by myself its a fun first plane. It being Winter defiantly helps performance

shit AI crap. scourge of youtube

Not worth the money. Like someone said a person can buy a L-29 or L-39. The L-29 can be re-engined with a more powerful engine. While the jets are classified as “EXPERIMENTAL” they are a proven design and many of them are out there burning up the airways on the weekends. I’d much rather have an L-39!

Nice aircraft. The only downside for me is pneumatic boots on the air intakes of all things. It’s a pity it did not have enough bleed air to heat them like the wings or enough electrical power to heat them like the canard leading edge. It seems odd. I can just visualise the boots breaking off chunks of ice in bad icing and getting sucked in despite the inertial separators. But.. no such incidents have happened in its career so it obviously works just fine. The fully enclosed toilet compartment is a real winner. The starship was innovative but thats it, it was a total disaster for maintenance and costs. Even though it was made out of composites v Avanti’s aluminium it was not as fast nor had the same range even with bigger engines. Nah, the Avanti wins hands down.

I've known Dan and Scott since the late 90's and got to watch them build the very first Viperjet to the last Viperjet. I got to see (never talked to him) one of their customers, who was a prince from Saudi Arabia. He showed up in a beautiful Citation X. Anyway, the latest Viperjet (the bronze/gold and black color) was actually built for the prince, but they sold it as he opted out due to the time and rising price plus some tech issues with the flying characteristics. The color was based on the SSC, Shelby Super Car, which is built in Richland, Washington, and at one point held the record for the fastest super car in the world. Now known as the SSC Tutautara. Anyway, the Viperjet cost was actually closer to $900K-$1.3mil to build. Dan and Scott stopped producing the Viperjet and started a building assist company for the Viperjet owners, called Zero Gravity, and moved their operations from Pasco to Richland. They did this for a few years before selling that business and got into making custom parts for the AR-15. Last time I talked to Dan, that company is still going strong but with one less person to help run it. Dan lost his brother Scott back in April of 2022 due to an illness. Those two guys were a great bunch to hang with, and to watch them build the Viperjet was nothing short of just awesomeness.

The license for LSP is different that Ultralight. Your title is therefore misleading and a waste of time.

LSA was supposed to be "affordable" lol... Cool though.

Looks like a miniature Spitfire.

No oloes, no doors on the mains. In my experience I never had any issues with 210 gear. I wasnt paying the bills though, so I might not have the full story.

I also love PC6, I have known it since my childhood. My father was a PC6 pilot in the Air Force, he flew it to the country from Switzerland in 1975. I like the quality of STOL.

Long EZs are awesome, and you are right to include the designer and his rich history in the story, it's one of the reasons I love them so much. @10:15 with the landing gear legs attached to the wings, that's a stagger-ez.

lol ive flown some of the da 20s in this video

Wrong : first ever private jet was the Morane Saulnier 760 Paris Jet. The Dassault Falcon 20 took flight for the first time in May 4th of 1963 while the Learjet 23 flew for the first only in October 7th of the same year. 😉

The reason LSA aircraft in the USA dont have chutes is because the chute would add weight putting most aircraft out of the 1325 MTOW

Great content! I just subscribed.

$1 in 1936 is equivalent to $22.55 today. I just looked it up. So $25K in 1936 is about $564k today. I like the Executive. Saw some at the Arlington Washington EAA fly in. I have a Bonanza but would love a Spartan :)

Eurpoe is so overregulated and its citizens are zombified. You cannot make an off field landing in Germany. WTH.
