It actually has a good reason for it, due to limited tech this was one of the best ways to increase maneuverability and lift meaning it could turn faster, carry heavier loads and fly at lower speeds. It was one of the best planes of ww1

The Fokker Dr-1 has a fair few shortcomings but you can't deny how cool it looks. Even divorcing it from the legendary Baron it's still a really cool looking aircraft. Of course it can't actually fly as fast as biplanes but the turning radius means better maneuverability in the sky. It's funny to me to look at these old planes compared to modern jet fighter craft because it's a bit comparing italian luxury speed cars to a go kart.
@@Frilabird Most WWI planes were notoriously temperamental, even for the time. Compared to a modern aircraft with fly-by-wire controls, they were actually fairly difficult to maneuver and easy to stall. Most of that tight turning radius is simply due to the fact that the plane isn't traveling very fast. The less powerful engines of the era often required stacked wing designs in order to achieve the necessary lift, since less airflow means you need more wing surface area to compensate. So, relatively sluggish engines combined with with two or three times the control surfaces created the side effect of most planes from that time period having very tight turning capabilities. That's also why WWI dogfights look so vastly different from dogfights in every subsequent era of aerial combat. There wasn't anything like it before, and there hasn't been anything quite the same since, even during the second world war.
Whole hell of a lot of damage to that plane even though it doesnt look too bad. Both wings need replacing, along with the rudder and that's assuming none of the structural components of the fuselage were damaged (which they shouldnt have been). If it was a modern plane, it'd more than likely be written off
Shooting up an opponent who's landed a damaged airplane? The cad! Bad form, Sir! Damn' bad form! 🧐 On a more serious note, very glad the pilot of the Swedish plane was unhurt.

at least until the engine caught fire. It had a rotary engine, the fluids are not enclosed like an inline engine. A rotary literally spits it's lubricating oil out as it runs. One of the reasons for the scarf, to keep wiping your goggles so you can see clearly while flying. So having the engine inverted, and hot has a higher chance of fire then inlines.
That was the best flying there ever was. There's been a lot of aviation since, and lots of awesome airframes, but nothing has ever topped the sheer poetry and passion of the open-pit wood and canvas biplane. (And triplane, in the case of the Fokker.)
Authentic rotary engines, aren't they? The whole engine casing and cylinders spin with the propeller that is bolted to them. The pistons and "crank shaft" are attached to the airframe. Throttle is 2-position, full or off...if I'm not mistaken. Or it might be more accurate to say fuel controll on or off to control engine-propeller speed. Cylinders exhaust their combustion gases at the bottom of the rotation.
I think the “blip stick” shut off the ignition circuit. You generally ran the risk of fouling spark plugs if you blipped it for too long because fuel was still going into the cylinders.
Throttle was changeable. The *mixture* (fuel to air mixture) was 1 setting. If the throttle was only 1 setting, the thing would rush to takeoff speed the moment you handpropped it and youd be dead.
@@davecrupel2817 Actually no, monosoupape type rotaries have not throttle control whatsever, only a fuel mix regulator which doesn't do all that much other than making it run lean or rich. You either used the blip stick or in some of them you could change ignition timing so that cylinders were only fired every 2 to 3 rotations of the engine. Later they used bloctubes to control air inlet, basically a choke, but even then it was usually on full open and the fuel supply was cut on final approach for landing with no blips to prevent fouling of the plugs. A rotary does start at full throttle with the mix set to rich , it's up to the pilot to blip it to prevent killing the mechanic. They also don't exactly rush to take off speed.

But I've heard stories that you could skid it around and open up on planes going by. It almost can't fall out of the sky. Man those guys had a lot of guts in those open cockpits, with no chutes.
@@tnapeepeelu Actually, the DRI was very maneuverable, but very slow compared to some of its contemporaries like the SE5A, the SPAD XIII, the Fokker DVII and DVIII.

I have been there and also didn't see the landing. Because of this mishap a few flights (including WW2 plane show) were cancelled. Landing planes like that is a difficult thing I've heard.
The stereotypical leather long leather coat, leather cap, scarf, and goggles was to protect from more than just wind and insects. Many of these aeroplanes had engines that spewed castor oil. The caster oil would shower all over the pilot. This is why the coat was heavy leather and so was the cap. It was not the most glamorous thing to be a pilot then.

That was amazing, it’s incredible how slow they are and how little distance they travel lol. Also got a kick out the FVM’s crack-up on landing, that very much felt realistic for the time period
I always wondered why the Fok. DR-1 was so lumbering in the bank. It turns out, turns are routinely rudder only since aileron guarantee yaw and a roll.
So, the plane flied upon landing or was it flipped over when no one was looking for effect? I watched it twice and it didn't show the plane landing and flipping over!
I’m so glad they are reenacting ww1 dogfights instead of ww2 because no one talks about the First World War and it’s so sad that they are being forgotten they shall not be forgotten remember those who fought same with all the other wars

Does anybody know how the Tummelisa was armed? Did some googling and the Fokker obviously had the prop-synchronized machineguns. Already in WW1, this is absolutely incredible!! I assume the Tummelisa had no fixed armament (couldn't find anything about that). Maybe the pilot had a gun or pistol or sth.? It's super cool to see these planes in a staged "fight"!

Now why do they do simulated gub fire in WW2 aircraft reenactments? Are they not allowed to do it state side?
Excellent video! Thanks so much for sharing this!
Great video, too bad you cut the moment of the accident off, though.
I just want some footage from inside the cockpit!
Is the DR 1 supposed to represent The Red Baron?
How did you manage to film a dog fight but miss the seconds before and after the flip.

That Triplane barely needs any runway to take off and it can turn on a dime.........Impressive German Engineering
Dutch 🇳🇱 engineering instead of German 🇩🇪. Anthony Fokker and his aircraft are Dutch. The Netherlands was neutral in WWI.
Serious, german engineering?
Ok, Fokker may sound German but he was a Dutch guy from Haarlem!
*Higher, king of the sky*
He's flying too fast and he's flying too high
Higher, an eye for an eye, the legend will never die
I love WWI WarBirds. To think they're only built by barnstormers but they really kicks ass up there
i honestly dont understand this, what if one of the pilots died?
Enemy Ace dude!!!!! Tri plane dances in the clouds so gracefully...Gute hunting!!
There’s a reason the Red Baron used it.
Is lasertec possible???
This video shows how the reputation of the Dr.1 as the most maneuverable plane in the war was justified. The turning radius on the bird is tight.
He was that committed to the reenactment
Okay so how much do these cost, I want to have one.
The Fokker is soo cool! Both plane are great! And they turn so quick!
Was it blanks that was fired?
These seem infinitley more fun to opperate than most other means of transport
Wow that Fokker is so maneuverable, it easily got on that plane tail with ease. Awesome fighter.
How tf does this works sorry that i dont know but since there is gunfire isnt it dangerous for the pilots?
The planes are firing blanks, which are just real bullets, without the part that actually gets shot out of the barrel.
Does anybody know how the Tummelisa was armed? Did some googling and the Fokker obviously had the prop-synchronized machineguns. Already in WW1, this is absolutely incredible!! I assume the Tummelisa had no fixed armament (couldn't find anything about that). Maybe the pilot had a gun or pistol or sth.?
It's super cool to see these planes in a staged "fight"!
Most people do not realize the Fokker Triwing actually has 4 wings.
Yep: a small one between the two front wheels.
