This should have the title "the most important aircraft from an American perspective"
Harrier? A380? Vulcan? Since when was airbus Chinese and American as well??
You did miss one important fact: The Cessna 172 has held the record for the longest continuous flight since 1959. The flight was 64 days long and was accomplished using in flight refueling from a pickup truck matching ground speed while pumping fuel to it in flight!
yea but it doesnt need to break record,like the wright brothers aircraft or bf109@@ironagentm544
How on earth did you miss off the harrier jump jet?! An incredible engineering feat! and British too.
They also missed the Lancaster that made a lot of history like the dam busters and I was the first plane to carry the bouncing bomb
Airbus A380/Antonv AN-225/Dassault Rafale/SolarImpulse/Ju-87 Stuka/All the others : am I a joke to you ?
“Most Important Aircraft of all time”
Heinkel He 178: am I a joke to you?
also: Gustav Weißkopf 1901
He was 2 years earlier than the Wrights.
Complicated story.
Soviet plane ANT-25 should have been on the list. It has made a first transarctic flight from Soviet Union to United States through North Pole in 1937
No Hawker Siddeley Harrier first successful Vertical Take Off/Landing fighter?
I also have no idea what you mean there isn't anything else that says it is in the entire video. Unless you.mean the osprey but that one doesn't say fighter it says tilt rotor transport
Derek Henschel lol :) I liked the video just though the Harrier should be in it, after all no other jet had that capability. And the video is titled ‘most important aircraft of all time’ thought a military jet with the ability to hover in mid air would qualify :) so good the Americans bought it, and has only just been replaced by the F35 Lightning II... just my two cents
Spruce goose- Largest wooden plane Hindenburg- Largest airship
An-225- Largest Cargo plane
B-2- First strategic stealth bomber
A5M- First carrier monoplane
Stratolaunch- Largest wingspan
Harrier- First VTOL fighter
A380- Largest passenger jet
Mig-25- Fastest operational armed jet
*all these choices and yet you choose those famous to Americans*
Do you understand that these are all amazing records, but they didn’t impact aviation at all.
The MiG-25 was never used in combat.
A380 went out of service after it was absolutely useless in passenger demand,
strati launch was an inefficient way to launch,
the harriers VTOL idea was impressive, but never used extensively.
The an-225 was destroyed (RIP)
The A5M did not work out to be practical.
Stop trying to slander the man.
Be happy that he spent hours on hours making amazing content for you and us to watch.
The Gloster Meteor, the first ALLIED fighter to be jet powered: "Guess I'm not important."
And the Gloster, it's prototype which was the first jet powered aircraft!
Also, the Canberra, the first Jet bomber!
Especially because the US got its first jet technology from the British... all the Shooting Star did was kill our best fighter ace.
This whole article seems to have an American bias and many featured aircraft are not milestones in aviation just developments. No Gloster E28/39, no Hawker Harrier, no Gloster Meteor, no English Electric Canberra, no V1 flying bomb, no V2 rocket why? Oh yeah not American.
The 14 Bis is missing too. Even though the Wright Brothers made the first aircraft, Santos Dumont set a record of the first successful flight in a field in Paris three years after the Wright Brothers' first flight.

It’s a shame Fw.190 is not on the list. It was the first aircraft to incorporate an automatic device that would control the engine. Radiator flaps, manifold pressure, and more were controlled by “Kommandogerät”
@@GunnerHeatFire It means that instead of the pilot controlling the radiator flaps, revs, propeller pitch, fuel mixture, etc, a device could make all of those calculations for the pilot. Most old warbirds driven by a piston engine had lots of controls for the engine which in the heat of battle would be a lot to think about. The 190 removing the need for the pilot to do all of the work there gives them a huge advantage over other aircraft
Se o título do vídeo é esse, os mais importantes aviões da história, deveria estar presente nessa lista, logo no início, o avião 14-bis do Santos Dumont, em 1906, sendo o primeiro objeto mais pesado que o ar a projetar-se do solo por impulsos próprios

Horten HO229 was a shitty plane from late war, it couldn't even fly without crashing
@@lucastekkan harrier was trash until mod 2 built by Americans. Brits can't build anything correctly. 😉
Other than the Wright brothers first flyer, the absolute most important aircraft is the DC3. It was the game changer, and opened up the the world of air travel.

Hi Comrades,
There were mistakes on the flags of concorde and A320 on my previous viz - Aircraft that Changed the World,
I have taken down the viz, rectified the flags and repost it under this new title.

@@forfexet using a catapult doesn’t devalue that they were able to maintain steady and level flight for a prolonged period of time. The catapult ensured a quicker take off, plus they didn’t even use it for their first flight

Jakob Degen and his ornithopter! Greatest aviation genius ever! Made well documented flights as early as in 1808!

You missed the glider build by Otto Lilienthal, first successfully flying plane ever in 1893, he was the person, who inspired the Wright Brothers to build their first motor plane.
Even as early as 1811 one crazy German guy, Albrecht Ludwig Berblinger, the "Schneider von Ulm" startet to fly with glider planes, but he didn't succeeded.
First, yes, that's exactly what I thought when seeing the Wright Flyer, Second no you are fucking not related to the Wright brothers

What about the P-51? Everybody knows that was one of America’s most important fighter of all time.
Harrier: First production VTOL fighter aircraft.
B-52: Longest serving American bomber.
F-4 Phantom: First fighter aircraft to serve in Air Force, Marine Corps, and Navy.

@@edwardkenway148 arguably the B-52 is the longest serving bomber, period. It's projected to operate well into the 2050s, which puts its service life at about 100 years

Also, Me Bf 109 was also produced throughout WW2 (not just the Spitfire). It's the first one I looked up, but I bet I could find plenty of others, too.
Kind of agree. The plane was nothing special. It was pretty much all the pilot
The Bf-109 wasn't produced through ALL of WW2. Bf-109 production ended in April 1945, a few months before the war ended 🙂

Gustav Weißkopf was the inventor of the plane.
- 1897 he flew a glider plane (he was inspired by Otto Lilienthals successful glider flights in the early 1890ies)
- 1899 he made his first „air hop“ with a motorized plane
- 1901 he made his first real flight, about 800 meters
- on January 17th, 1902 he made a flight of not less than 12.6 kilometres
In 1890 Clément ader, french inventor flew on 50 meters in a vapor motorized plane.

Thats how far aviation has come wow
Correction the first airplane in the world was the 14-BIS, produced in Brazil and OFFICIALLY tested in Paris in front of many nobles, and the Heiress of the Imperial Throne of Brazil. The Wright Brothers Airplane it did not take off by itself, so it can be considered a catapult.
Correction the first airplane in the world was the fly by wright brothers in USA
Yeh there are some omissions. But all these that are featured are iconic in aviation. It's hard for me to believe that we've only been flying for just over a century.

Another colportage of the Brothers Wright myth. What’s with the real pioneers of flight?
Montgolfier brothers? (inventors of the hot air ballon, 1782)
Jakob Degen (inventor of the ornithopter plane in 1807, successfully made a flight, reaching 54 feet altitude, one year later he even reached 5000 feet altitude in Paris; he also constructed a helicopter model which reached an altitude of 500 feet in 1816)
Albrecht Ludwig Berblinger (constructed an glider plane as early as in 1811 and was flying it, but crashed into the danube; a test with a reconstructed glider in 1986 demonstrated that his plane was able to fly)
Paul Hänlein (inventor of the airship, 1872)
Alexander Mozhaysky (concept of a plane with steam engine, 1884)
Otto Lilienthal? (inventor of the glider, 1890)
Hermann Ganswindt? (concept of a spaceship, 1891 and inventor of the helicopter, 1901)
Konstantin Tsiolkovsky? (concept for a space rocket, 1895)
Gustav Weißkopf? (inventor of the plane, 1901)
Karl Jatho? (inventor of the biplane, summer 1903)
Alberto Santos Dumont (first flight in front of an public audience, 1906)
Henri Coanda (inventor of the jet turbine, 1910)
Eugen Sänger (concept of a Mach 7 plane, 1936)
Hans von Ohain (inventor of the jet plane, 1939)
Alex Lippisch (inventor of the rocket plane, 1939)
Wernher von Braun (inventor of the ballistic missile, 1942)
Most flight pioneers were Europeans, especially Germans. Sadly, Americans often are so ignorant and national narcissistic. -
Wright brothers are famous for the first powered flight and technically the first biplane as it had 2 wings one over the other making it a biplane. Still tho a lot of European inventors are kind of forgotten by the Americans
Connor Raab first *morotized* plane, because manual glider was invented first. They also not had the idea of the biplane, it’s something that was design much before.
Also adding that a few months before a German guy (don’t have his name) did flew a motorized aircraft but wasn’t remember as the first because of shit stuff.
The story about the wrights is a lot more complicated than you’d thought
Abbas Ibn Firnas was the first ever human to fly, but even you did not include him, yet you speak trash about the creator saying he did not include Europeans...
The German Gustav Weißkopf is the inventor of the plane, not the Wrights.
Weißkopf, who emigrated to the US, flew as early as in 1897 and on 8/14 1901 he made his well know 1200 meters flight with his Condor plane in Connecticut. The Wrights themselves recognized Weißkopf as the first man who successfully flew a motor plane but due to later political reasons (WWI), the American historiography intentionally sunk his flight into oblivion cause he was a German and Germany was the official „enemy“ for American ideology after WWI.
However, today he is recognized as the real inventor of the plane in Connecticut, where he made his first flight.
I agree, but most in the world is just propaganda nowadays. Americans copied many German (Me p.1101) and Russian (MiG-25) technology.
Wow, the first glider - flight was from a German (Otto Lilliental) , the first jetpowerd-plane was also from Germany and now you say that the first succecfull motorized flight was also from a German.
Maybe it is really as they say with that "German engineering".
thanks for clarifying that the *unofficial* flight before the Wright Brothers was also an American
@@AlmightyDude420 Nope. Although he worked in Connecticut, Gustav Weißkopf was German and never adopted American citizenship.
Wish o had a collection of these

The first aircraft to achieve supersonic flight was the Me-163 Komet, although it was unofficial and resulted in the loss of most of its control surfaces.
While several pilots reported breaking the sound barrier, its more likely they were near it.
Muzon cool!!!
The Wright Flyer is the most important because without the first plane,there will be no plane till know
Mig-15 was not first USSR jet aircraft. Yak-15 was. In effect it was Me-262 engine married to the Yak-3 airframe
