Air To Air Refueling... With a Flying Runway
Вставка

- Plenty of people have done air to air refueling videos before, I decided to do something suitably Kerbal and build and entire flying runway to land my aircraft on and refuel.

Scott...
S-scott the engines!
SCOTT THROTTLE UP
Oh god he has mk1 command pods in he can't hear us!
OH GOD
Now you just need a bigger flying runway to refuel that flying runway.
But what about a bigger flying runway for the bigger flying runway that refuels the flying runway?
Andrew Le That's the planet.
But we still need a flying planet to refuel the planet!
Zaryte Sarutoshi x might wanna call roninpawn for this one.

"You know, it was going so well until he crashed."
-Scott Manley
I uh think I'll just leave that there while I fix the mothership and stop it crashing into the ocean.
-Scott Manley
"I'm Scott Manley, fly safe"
-Scott Manley
"Oh!! No!! *Crash*"
- Scott Manley
"It was going so well until it crashed."
classic
that is truly the kerbal way! :D
KSP is the best :D
"The operation was a success, but we lost the patient."
{Also known as...}
"We won the battle, but lost the war."
I'm disappointed that this wasn't called runaway runway
Me too
That carrier goes swimming because its boat-instincts kick in whenever it sees water
Poor thing.
She was makin love to the plane. Maybe we get some baby planes and boats?
@@nicefloweytheoverseer7632 flying boats and swimming planes...
Aircraft aircraft carrier?
You should launch it from a surface ship. Then you'd have an aircraft aircraft carrier carrier.
Jonathan Hughes I would have called it an aircraft carrier aircraft. Which would make the ship an aircraft carrier aircraft carrier.
ZeroDecibal But then the second aircraft carrier still isn't meant to be flying. I think the correct name would be aircraft carrier aircraft aircraft carrier.
CallisTrOn Entertainment Its just an aircraft carrier carrier. Lol. What does it carry? Aircraft. Then its an aircraft carrier. oh it carries aircraft carriers? Then its an aircraft carrier carrier.
The OP could be right, though. If you call the thing scott made an "aircraft aircraft carrier", as opposed to a "ship aircraft carrier", then hes right. But, I think youd call it an "Aircraft carrier aircraft" from "aircraft carrier ship", so, then Zero is right.
That'd be either an aerial aircraft carrier carrier or an aircraft carrying aircraft carrier.
RedstonePyroMan actually, scratch the latter.
7:55 **screaming at the screen** YOUR ENGINES ARE SHUT OFF
schlaumensch Sorry I can't hear you over the wind!!!!
Scott Manley You mean the sound of your engines winding down? :p haha
Scott Manley Well, at least you found out after it was too late :D
schlaumensch Bahahahaha, so this.
And again at 11:30
S.H.I.E.L.D called, they want their Helicarrier back.
That MIGHT be a problem, seeing as it rests in pieces.
Hahaha lol
It... Vanished. We let the stealth mode 'on', and we just can't find it... 😇
After watching literally every single season of Agents of Shield I fucking love this comment
Spectrum called, they want their Cloudbase back.
I'm yelling "Throttle! Throttle!" at my computer
Power. Power! EJECT! EJECT! EJECT!
Its not stalling, the throttle is off!! (Well it both but....)
He says SLOW DOWN DOWN DOWN but he doesn't even change the throttle not even a pinch.
At first I was excited, but I left disappointed. Like visiting a Tokyo McDonalds.
Jacques Kerbal would like to thank you for providing all the targets for his scuba class to go and find at the end of the runway. You have single handily financed his new ship by providing so much stuff for his divers to recover. The crazy stuff is always the most fun.
"Fly Safe" at the end of a demonstration of some of the most dangerous flying in existence, where he killed his aircrews several times. :D
"No! Going way too fast! Way too fast! Slow down!
*doesn't throttle down*
Fixed-wing aircraft landing 101: "Pitch for airspeed, power for altitude" :)
4:50 "Can we pull out of this dive."
I don't know why but that made me giggle. It was the most anticlimactic dive of all time haha
I made a flying hangar a few months ago. It was a lot like this thing but with walls and a roof. Like a long flying box with one end open and a docking port on the opposing wall. I made it auto-stabilized by angling the front set of wings up a bit while making it a bit nose heavy. That way I only neded the throttle to regulate pitch. Landing in it was like threading a needle while receiving electric shocks, while spinning upside down while bungee-jumping, but I pulled it off eventually.
Sounds like a very easy landing indeed
Ok you actually made the aigaion from ac5
(ik this is 4 years old)
Now land a runway on a runway :D
3 years later this comment is still good
@@theholderscock Already 4
Try 5
Ike Sandercock I was so young and innocent... *sigh*
"I'm not sure anyone has attempted this particular method"
I wonder why
the flying runway looks like a giant trilobite... in case you need a name.
Or a *_Fly-lobite!?!_* (Sorry; I'll let myself out...)
Nah runaway runway is better
triloflight
Dr Scott Manley, PH.D. in KSP.
If anyone is interested in FICON, the Soviets actually used a similar idea in combat early in WW2. They docked 4 small fighters, either I-15's or I-16's to a TB3 bomber. The idea was that the bomber would carry the fighters most of the way to the target, then drop the fighters. The fighters would then perform strafing runs and rocket attacks on the target. The fighters would then return to the parent aircraft and redock.
This allowed the fighters to hit targets at much greater ranges than they'd usually be able to. It worked relatively well at first, but German fighter technology improved too rapidly, and the TB3 motherships were sitting ducks against Bf109's, and the program was quickly terminated.
I was just about to write that xD Btw, that's called "Vakhmistrov's chain" (Zveno Vakhmistrova/Звено Вахмистрова)

Me: Whoa! Danny replied...wait, never mind. Danny uses Crapple!
Millitron That's actually quite interesting. Thanks!
Scott, you've done it again. Simply brilliant!!
I know this episode is really old, but I have a new plan for you to do, put this thing in 100,000+ orbit, then land a space ship on it and go to the moon and back from that. The catch is once you put the ship back you have to get landing pad back too.
You can use cheats to get the pad up, but if you do use cheats no parachutes on both.
I might.
This is some nice spirit of contradiction :)
Gamebreaker
Vlad II ?
Very entertaining! When you docked the first time and the thrust was all the way down, I said out loud "Your power is off!" :-)
Can you build a Marvel-style helicarrier (with jets)?
Владимир Кузнецов Possibly, but many people have already done better.
Scott Manley But we need the Scott Manley style
Should launch a rocket from a helicarrier and send a ship into orbit.
а тебе зачем?
@@stupidburp stratenblitz sent the entire carrier into orbit
And then some
Scott. You were too busy wondering whether you could, you didn't stop to contemplate whether you should. This is bananas.
Hey, if it's stupid and it works, it's not stupid!
I work and i am stupid
@@joaquinlaroca2886 lmao
It's diving! Abandon ship! I mean, runway!
I just started watching your stuff recently, and came across this. Awesome, fun to watch for sure!
Mr Manley youre awesome keep up the good work!!
Epic Flying Scott! Keep it up. I love the videos.
This is awesome, everyone should do air to air refueling like this.
Flying runway....good lord! This was the funniest episode by far. More explosions! Thank you very much, just made my day
Now THAT was EPIC! I laughed out loud! xD Many thanks Mr. Manley, you saved my evening!
It reminds me a bit of The Shield Helicarrier. Nicke Video!
Scott is such a likable guy! Love him. :D
My Ace Combat sense suddenly tingling after seeing this video
I always enjoy watching your videos Scott Manley. You do fun things with KSP that I do not seem to be able to pull off ever. I have watched all through KSP Interstellar. I hope to continue to watch far into the future as well.
Best Scott Manley video.... Ever!
Sometimes I wish I could hit the like button many times! Thanks Scott!
Oh, man. That was so amazing.
I love those rapid unplanned or unintended dissassemblys
Everyone thinks about a flying aircraft carrier but you just do it, brilliant.
One minor fault though. This is the ultimate runway because it really runs. Not like those whimpy things on the ground.
Manley this brings me back.
Watching this makes me appreciate how easy we have it in Space Engineers with our 6DoF and gyroscopic attitude control (as opposed to flaps and rudders) - whenever you got close to the runway, I was thinking "time for a nudge to the left" or "braking thrusters on". Kept having to remind myself that planes don't have 6-way thrusters like that 😆 In any case, I am a sucker for the crazy flying runway and similar impractical concepts; good to see it in action.
Spectacular video scott! Love that you said "That I would say is a victory" 5 seconds after that your refueled aircraft crashed, because the engines wasn't turned on again :D
This is a touch of genius.
Scott, you are NOT Danny, you DO NOT make crazy things, you make things that make sense and work.
Science isn’t about “why?” It’s about “why not?”
“Why is so much of our science dangerous?” WHY NOT MARRY SAFE SCIENCE IF YOU LOVE IS SO MUCH?!
"Burning people! He said what we're all thinking!"
Truly, this was awesome! I love you for such things. =)
Greets from germany!
Informative and hilarious: The best kind of edutainment.
Amazing... This Is Great!
that air carrier looks pretty cool and legit!
Had a big Laugh over this idea and Video.
Love it
Was so proud to be Scottish listening to you, then heard how you say water 😂 Love the videos bro, just started subscribing
I gotta get kerbal space program. This is AWESOME. I have always been interested in physics and astronomy...... never even heard of this until recently.
This is some Ace Combat Strangereal level stuff. Awesome
this is cool you have all the best ksp videos
The point you didn't realized that you pulled down the throttle was so funny!
This reminds me of the fun I had doing some formation flying between a PA28 and a C172 for some aerial photography - it was so difficult to hold station as the throttle was so se sensitive etc...
Gold, scott, GOLD!
That's not stupid - it's beautiful!
Nice! Did you know Scott that an actual flying aircraft carrier was built, it was basically a massive airship capable of carrying scout biplanes (I believe it had capacity for 2 at a time but I could be wrong) and basically what they do is get the airship flying flat out and then lower the aircraft on a cable below the airship cabin, the biplane co-pilot then had to climb out of his seat onto the wing to release the cable. To land they got the airship once again to fly flat out, then the biplane pilot had to carefully position under the airship cabin while the co-pilot climbed onto the wing again to attach the cable, once the cable was attached the aircraft was then winched back inside the airship. The system failed because the US government got hold of the prototype, decided it was excellent and then wouldn't allow the designer to take it out of it's flight trials to fix a crucial flaw he'd discovered in the airships structure, and sadly one day the inevitable happened and the airship was lost with all hands, at which point the US government declared the system to unsafe to consider using again.
***** Wrong, if you didn't care you wouldn't have replied :)
***** His comment isn't too long, you are too stupid.
learrus Well, it's good to know some sane people still exist on the internet, and I think he just proved your point in his reply.
Reminds me of the P.17 and P.17D , interesting concept.
Awesome Job!!
Funny! Thanks for this post.
Hilarious.
I love the flying runway idea.
This is pure Thunderbirds level last second saving of some huge and ridiculously impractical piece of machinery.
This was, very entertaining.
After seeing you do this scott, i decided to try it myself, and honestly, with boat parts installed you did it the hardest way you could have, i used RCS, and the cable (like real Aircraft carriers) and i used the thing boat parts adds that makes your jet push you backwards to slow you down :P but it was awsome idea~! thanks scott!
Hi scott, Aircraft Mechanic here.
This oscilation of the aircraft is called Dutch Roll, and is caused by response time of the flight controls being too low to counter the aircrafts' oscillation.
You should put some fast reacting control surfaces to settle this.
As for the Idea of a flying runway... well it is damn old! USS Akron and Acon were Zepplin Aircraft carriers from 1930s :)
More recently in video games, the Spiridus, from Ace Combat X. Later came the P-1112 Aigaion from Ace Combat 6... a classic !
lol I almost thought that you were going to say '' NOW THATS WHAT I CALL, A VICTORY ROYALE!'' lol.
good job, Sky Captain
That is the most hilarious thing ever. Forget about flying bricks, flying plywood boards are all the rage!
Mechjeb would be really useful for this. You could have a unit on the mother aircraft set to maintaining a heading, roll and pitch.
you had it that second time. you realized that when you docked the mother ships throttle reset but what you didnt realize that when you undocked from the mother ship the jets throttle also reset. you might have been able to save both there :P
That's the best thing I ever saw. Try turning it :D
Nicely done. Reminiscent of Interstellar.
Only played one Ace Combat game and instantly got reminded of the Gleipnir
Also the Zveno project the Russians had in the 30s comes to mind somewhat for me, except they're dropping parasite aircraft and not necessarily receiving them in mid air
This is awesome. You should see what altitude you can take that carrier thing to.
The two kerbals in the cockpit of the runway are having a proper dance off at the end
I can only hope that this is effectively a preview of what official multiplayer KSP will be like.
could you make a "standard guide to efficiency"? i have the feeling that my maneuvers are somewhat inefficient :(
this is so amazing
Scott Manley i know you know this already but let me say it anyway...YOU ARE AWESOME!
He did it, the absolute fucking madman. Brilliantly done, my guy.
Lol I noticed you yelled "crickey" (I don't actually know how to spell that) when your plane started going really far up from the dock. I thought that was really funny as I've never heard someone say that before XD btw you are a god at ksp
"oh he survived...but he's been knocked into the second dimension" golden
love this idea
This is awesome! :D
10:20 "sweet sweet airplane love"
this reminded me of certain pictures. i've been on the internet for too long.
I loved this video. Most of the other videos I've seen you produce are too perfect. This one was just right. It had failure and success. It also told the story of how you went form failure to success. Again, wonderful video and I hope you make more videos in this story format. That of beginning in a failure state and ending up in a success state. Only showing a success state isn't much of a story.
So, you basically made a faster S.H.I.E.L.D. helicarrier. Nice!
Scott's pull out game is to strong.
The old MK I cockpit. :(
"You know, it was going so well until it crashed."
I feel like I've heard something similar before....
Funniest video I've seen in a long time!
USS Macon was a blimp thing that had a revolving set of bars used to hold recon planes in it in the 30s
Ah, the P-1112 Aigaion. Just needs an escort of 4 more superplanes!
Sounds like all tests went well. Time to build a few dozen operational units.
You madman, you made a helicarrier.
Just imagine the insanity that would come out of a Scott and Robbaz collab xD
