@@WarblesOnALot Imagine how fast it could go using wind turbine sized propellers compared to the jet engine it had. It could recharge its battery when landed using the prop as long as there was a breeze blowing. And the prop could be tilted upwards for VTOL. Let's get a patent out on it. Would need bloody long landing gear though.
@@flickingbollocks5542 Well, actually, in 1992 my 22-hp Ultralight Motorglider failed to clear a fence, breaking my ankle in the prang, mainly due to the 41.5" X 12" Propeller, direct driven at 4,200 RPM made more Noise than Thrust. So I have yet to commence repairs. But last year I bought a Talaria Sting (L-1e), a road registered electric Motorbike, with a 6,000 Watt Motor derated to 3,500 max & 3,000 for Road-use (registered as a Motor-Scooter, limited to 45 Km/hr...). But, a new spare Battery, Motor & Speed Controller would be a "mere" $3,600, and if I fiddle with the Drive-train Ratios, that setup would spin an 8-ft diameter Airscrew at 1,125 RPM, for a Disc-area of 50 sq ft rather than 9, and yielding the same Tip Speed at 50 MPH Airspeed. So, 15% faster and 2 or 3 times the Climb-Rate.... And, the Sting features 4 stages of Regenerative Braking...; so theoretically one could - leaving enough in the Battery for one Missed Approach & 2nd attempt at landing, climb up to 11,000 ft and glide around for almost an hour...., in still air. Or one could go up to 11,000 and then push over to dive at 500 ft/Min for 20 minutes in Regenerative Braking, WINDMILLING the Prop. as an Electromagnetic Air-Brake to at least partially recharge the Battery, before landing... Or, one might take off, climb up to 1,000 ft and then go Soaring with the Propeller stopped, spend an hour or so working up to 11,000 ft and then come back down in Regenerative Windmill mode, to land with an almost full Battery. Which would be lovely, but I threw $17 G at upgrading my Fireplan last year, as well as $28 G at the Sting, plus the Solar Panels & Batteries, Charge Controller & Inverter to charge it Off-Grid, a Shed to keep the Batteries & Electronics in, plus Riding Gear, and an electric Brushcutter, Chainsaw & Leaf-Blower - so to be honest, at this point another $3.6 G for the Motorbike Electrics to begin repairing and converting the Motorglider from 2-Stroke to Solar Plug-In ...; it's a Pipedream. I did other things with the money, while spending a small inheritance. But it was a lot of fun, crunching the numbers and working out that it could in fact be done... Backtrack me to my "Personal Aeroplanology..." playlist to see the story of "The 22-Hp VJ-24w ; World's 1st Ultralight Motorglider...!" It's my second Aeroplane, "National Transportation Museum ; Visiting My First Aeroplane...!" is the most recent video of that, apparent they got a Federal Grant, a shiny new huge Climate-Controlled Building, and a new name - it used to be the Inverell Transport Museum, when I made the first YT Video about it, titled, "The 1975, 8-Hp, Red Baron Skycraft Scout ; World's 1st Legal Minimum Aircraft...!". I was it's 3rd owner, it took me for my first Solo ; in 1978 when I was the last person who ever got it off the ground under it's own power. Not much of a claim to Aeronautical fame, but it's one that I can honestly make ; the Aeroplane which taught me to fly was so terribly primitive that they chained it to the ceung in a Museum. In 1903 the Wright Brothers had a better Aeroplane - 3 or 4 different ways ; but they were Pioneers, whereas I knew it could be done, and I'd bought an Aeroplane which was known to have been flown by more than one Pilot as well as the Designer/Builder (who had since gone into Commercial Production, for about 5 years !). Sadly, Air Navigation Order 95.10, which was written around my old Scout was repealed about 10 years ago, apparently - so if one WERE to electrify the Jensen it would have to be painted Duck-Egg Blue underneath & Australian Forest Camouflage on top and operated as an Outlaw. Happily, electric Motorgliders are SILENT.... And nobody looks to see what it is that they do not hear, in the Sky overhead. So, there are Options available. Such is life, Have a good one... Stay safe. ;-p Ciao !
In 1950-1951, pilots from the Soviet Union and China took part in battles on the MiG-15. On December 22, 1950, 2 MiG15s were lost, on April 12, 1951, losses amounted to “0” (Zero) MiG-15s. The author should not deceive his viewers.
Is that a prop blade at 1:44?
G'day,
Well, the Helical Pitch and Camber is all wrong for a Wind Turbine Rotor...(!).
Lol.
;-p

If you’re going to document American aircraft, use the standard measurement system!
