Every now and then I see Mike Melville's Rutan LongEZ flying by. It's pretty neat that the information age allows me to know that plane that is flying past me.
the first one was interesting because it could have sold thousands. it looks good even for today standards. its story shows well what overconfidence does to people. the ligeti stratos was a success and had got 50 or more orders, and the guy changes its design (substantially) at the last minute?
@@EVAUnit4A I don't write the scripts ..get with it man. j/k the writer is no longer with us for obvious reasons. In fact, I was just getting ready to pull this video to be reworked and suddenly, after flatlining for 3 months, has begun to gain views at a rather annoying rate. I suspect due to all the friendly, supportive comments lately the algorithm is convinced it is a video you all have enjoyed to its fullest.
@@EVAUnit4A Thanks, I do hope you can make it by and see the video that was to be posted originally. Including 5 more aircraft that are much more unusual than those shown here. The number one plane being one of the strangest I have ever seen. Having said that, I do find it ironic how YT has decided to start suggesting the one video I was about to pull instead of the ones we have posted actually being enjoyed, which is pretty much every other video besides this one lol. Wed morning, I'll be posting the remake and I do believe you'll enjoy this new version, if these aircraft videos are normally something you'd have interest in of course.
With the Colomban Cri-Cri I think you need to do more research... The plane first flew with 2 10 hp two cycle piston engines. The design was up-rated twice. I have plans for the Cri-Cri aircraft and NO WHERE do I find anything on a piston turbo jet engine. The ones fitted with turbo jet engines is something a builder decided to do, not how Michel Colomban designed the aircraft.
#7 is the most no the best designed aircraft it can do land and sea plus cruze at five hundred feet above water that's my only favorite plane out of the group 😆😆👍👍
Fuel cell that makes a controlled explosion to create electricity? Opps, someone didn't do their home work. Hydrogen fuel cells create electricity directly from the Hydrogen.
He said the correct thing just before that and I'm guessing he just read it wrong on the second go. Needless to say, it's already been mentioned 100 times at least thanks for noticing....again.
where does he say "controlled explosion?: I think you misheard him, he said, "electric propulsion." "and a hydrogen fuel cell system." he may have had a beer or 5 in him, but he did not say "controlled explosion." ...The aircraft, is the world’s first four-seat passenger aircraft powered solely by electric propulsion and a hydrogen fuel cell system. Flying in the HY4 is environmentally friendly, silent, and safer.
@@mindseyedesign Would you stfu and stop retaliating against viewers and comments..it's a bit annoying and exhibits how childish you are..maybe you can start making political videos - your skills would be needed more around there?!
I've address that a dozen times already since this video was posted, but I forgot what it was that he was suppose to say other than explosion. It was either a script error or a misread. Thanks for watching.
Someone already pointed out your Rootin' is a ROOTAN, you also called a VAREE- EEZEE a VariEEZE. If you know any aircraft guys, they could check your video before you mispronounce both the builder and the plane
A crew of six? Another video made by the we don’t know a thing about what we’re talking about people. Probably the same people who made the new Star Trek std.
@@mindseyedesign It's Dongleman, not Batman, different principle altogether. I realise LTD as Limited isn't used much if at all in USA but in the interests of international communication and clarity perhaps an understanding of other terms might be beneficial.
I highly doubt a robot would mispronounce so many words. Most likely, I'll have to raise his pay to a full sixpack if I want him to pronounce things correctly.
Not sure how much. It is in Denmark, Western Australia. Last I heard he had sold the hangar and wanted to offload the aircraft. If you contact the Denmark airpark someone should be able to put you on to him.
Thanks for the suggestion as pretentious as it was. Some photos are shot in a format it is impossible to fit them in without cropping half the image. I'll stop over to your channel and see how true professionals editors do this.
Oh and you were referring to the picture in picture, not slip screens. Split screens weren't even used in this video and I agree the editor should not have done that.
I kind of wanted more background info on the aircraft. For example I discovered the Long-EZ when reading about the singer John Denver's death in 1997. It wasn't a bad design - he died because the fuel cock had been badly sited behind his shoulder by a kit builder - but its futuristic concept masked the fact that it needed a very long runway for t/o and landing. Not ideal in a light plane. Other snippets like that would have added some flesh to the vid's bones. Thanks anyway!
so, it needed a long runway for what it was, air brakes were an added option, don't remember by whom or how many put them on. Fantastic glide ratio was no secret. that FUTURISTIC concept was NOT for style, Purely Function, and Because of that- it had excellent range, incredibly outstanding fuel economy (half a commercial private plane) and gph was unmatched by any aircraft with a cruise speed as high as the long-ez. How much time you spend on the runway? how much time you spend in the air? a Kit plane you could actually GO somewhere further than the next town, faster than a car. and btw, how many planes have fuel caps on top of the wings and out of site??? it's not a stol troll.
glad i watched this video! lot of interesting stuff if you like flying!!
1 looks very much fun to enjoy a flight in and is my favourite, cause it's echo friendly
"10 Unusual aircraft that either made it or didn't"

to every single one of them ever made.
And yet it reeled you right in.

nice aircraft ,nice production of vidio.
I love flying

First initial flight? Piston turbo jet engines? Either made it or didn't? Are you conscious when you talk?

I liked the video. The aircraft sure are unusual!!!!
@@465marko why/
Do plans for the cri cri even exist?
Please give the difference between cruising speed and stall speed.
Muy bueno... ya lo vi dos veces y... cuando quiero ver algo bueno, lo veo otra vez pero de a partes.

How about the Piston turbo jets? Can I have his job?

NO 3 🖒
Anyone noticed that a lot of American aircraft designers have names like Bob, Richard or Burt.
🤔
Or Clarence?
Fuel cell works by "controled explosion" ??? Oooook chemical reaction maybe
I believe that's also known as an "internal combustion engine". :)

Number 2 is named cri-cri (cree-cree) and it's a french design.

Try getting your facts right, the Wright brothers were SECOND not first, a chap in Nelson New Zealand beat them by a year or so.

"controlled explosion"

God that german translations are horrible, i didnt even understand the title just leave it on english we learn english in school

good video
Eso aviones pekeños te acaban..eso era lo k sentía cuando aprendía avolar en un ultra ligero uno ni bien cabe en esos aviones
Is it Root'n or Ru-tan?
You forgot one big failure. Bee Dee 5. The FAA never approved an engine for the aircraft and it looked a lot more sounder built then some of these.
Donald Grant No FAA “approved” engine needed for an experimental.
what is with the props
