Thanks man I really like this channel! I’m excited to see more engineering, aerospace and history all together! Keep it up!

So glad I found your channel. Exactly my kind of content, perfect mix of professional presentation and memes, and you cite your sources! I found your analysis of this whole situation to be spot on. Please keep up the great work and keep the videos coming!

A Soyuz ride home? Doesn't sound likely, but I'm sure that Boeing would prefer Soyuz over Dragon! 😄

Are you optimistic about Nasa's future?

Very glad the third example slide you use is the first American plane to pioneer it.

I like this channel keep it up! 😁

Good video!

Also do a video on Ludwig Prandtl, another giant who actually set up a scientific basis for all the flying we do today.

If you're into aero, explore "bell shaped lift distribution". I was shocked to see that B-21 is still using drag rudders for yaw control, which is essentially the same as xb-35. And we understand BSLD for over 10 years now... I don't get it why they didn't implement it for B-21. At least us eternal kids in RC world can play with it and enjoy our tailless flying wings :)

Commenting for engagement 👍

The "increase in drag of the configuration in all directions and for a GREATER DISTANCE" was a brilliant insight. It was generally believed that the effect of air accelerations was relatively local. Once you understand that the effect is for a much larger distance, the problems with the P-38 become obvious. The combination of the engine nacelles, cockpit gondola and wing combine to create a massive increase in area over a short distance. Each of the components accelerates air, but until you begin to get near transonic speeds, it is really not an issue.

I'm just here for the 8 views

The first airplane model I built as a kid with this feature was the F11F Tiger. I asked my dad about it, as he was a flight engineer. He knew what it was, by name, but could not explain it to me as a pre-teen. This breaks it down very nicely! Where was this video 40+ years ago?!? What? No videos back then? Yeah, but you are here now! I will be checking out that Video that nobody watched. Thanks!

There now over 9 people watched it.

This week in aero sounds like a cool concept for a series, I hope it gets traction.

I love the graphics at about 4:20 or so. Very illustrative!

I like the harmony in your title.

I got you bro, 8 viewers no more

Great video! Thank you!

hope you keep making videos on aircraft

Oh, so this is why modern planes are ugly. Well, I guess you can't argue with 25% higher top speed.

Commenting for the algorithm god. Hope the channel takes off.

This was very good and the impeccable grammar is a rare and special treat. It's such a joy not to have to decipher garbage while trying to follow a story. 😊

View 255 and like 70!

I'M GONNA WATCH THE X-1 VIDEO!

Some say he built bigger wings than expected, to hold up his gigantic balls🍒

What a great video, you shamed me into watching it in your area rule video.

From pre WW2 to the supersonic jet age, this is my favorite era of aircraft development. So much happened so fast. And all of it without computer aided designs, most of it done with educated guess work.

*subscribed* Proof that the area rule works: The long upper deck variants of the 747 are faster than the short upper deck variants.

Hey man, this was really a great presentation, I enjoyed it. I appreciated the effort and time you've put into this episode, and I'm looking forward to more of your work. Liked & sub'd.

Planes have engines ahead of the wing to avoid flutter. Also the 747-400 bump ends there because when they shrunk the original 747-100 to make the 747SP they had to rework frames around the wing box because the upper deck now ended level with the wings, then on the 747-400 they reused that same frame and extended the upper deck backwards. I don't believe the area rule came into either decision. The 747's bump does produce lift though.

Great Video! I Remember Reading About Them Years Ago & Always Liked The F-102 & F-106. Do You Think They're Underrated? Thank You. (Like #436)

What does x, y and z have in common? Mike Machat.....

I was somewhat amused by your self denigration relating to the number of views your X-1 video has received, so I thought I would share this brief story of my own. The time was around 1975 and I was trying to break into the rather competitive area of writing college textbooks, specifically in electronics and physics. The way it works is that a hopeful author submits sample chapters to the publisher who then sends those out to anonymous reviewers. The first review I ever got accused me of making "fundamental conceptual errors," which is the death knell rendered in text. Fortunately, two other reviews were quite positive and I was able to defend against the first, who turned out to be the one in error. The book in question went on to be quite successful, through two editions. It and a subsequent book, Technical Physics, remained in print for almost 20 years, which is practically unheard of in that game. The point is that success does not immediately come crashing down on a new endeavor. Keep the faith. Your content is good and I see no reason why your videos will not catch on. Good luck!

the first video i've seen from you, liked it, subscribed ... and not feeling obliged at all to look at your X-1 video :D

Clear and straightforward. Good job! Subbed.

nice video, thankyou

Thanks

Commenting for the algorithm. Hope the channel takes off.

very interesting story of the origin of the area rule

This is a great explanation, thank you

With how much ai generated science videos nowadays, it such a breath of fresh air seeing a small channel like this put their effort for this kind of gems

Langley Research Engineer here. This is an excellent video! It contextualizes the history and technical details of the area rule perfectly. I have but one nit pick that was drilled into me by my mentors at NASA. The NACA was never contemporarily referred to as "NACA" or Na-Cuh in pronunciation. It was the N. A. C. A., pronouncing each letter. Ultimately it doesn't matter, but it gives you clout with the old guard if you say N. A. C. A instead of NACA. 😊

I think with more having more than 8 views now, I’ll comment here instead. I find understanding the speed of sound vs the speed of transference of information or the speed which air molecules bang together to transfer that sound, could perhaps be better explained if trying to separate the thinking of sound and more thinking of molecules piling up.

Nice video. Clear and concise. Learned something new today!

Your coke bottle video brought me here, your channel is a goddamn goldmine

Hilarious and informative. Instant Sub, and your X1 video is queued up next. Keep up the great work 👍

Good stuff!

I wasn’t here
