      The flight control system the wright brothers invented is pretty much the same system that planes still use. They did the science, they understood that heavier than air crafts could fly with the right wing surface area & thrust. They understood what an airplane needed in terms of weight and horsepower.

    • @tombraun6514
      @tombraun6514 3 роки тому +9

      My guess is that it was well loaded, requiring a relatively high take off speed only reached well down the runway. Once it's airborne, all those wheels retract, drag goes down, best climb speed is reached and held by bringing the nose up and it soars like a homesick angel.

    • @Tengri30

      It's an illusion created by its great size. For example, the Moon orbits the Earth faster than an F-15 in full afterburner, still it looks stationary in the sky. It all has to do with speed/body length ratio.

    • @leneanderthalien
      @leneanderthalien 2 роки тому

      The take off speed , depending from the take of weight is between 240 and 280km/h. MPH are unknown in Europe (only Knots are allowed because it's a international navy unit, not imperial) and the soviet era aircrafts (and all continental Europe countries before ww2) use only metric in they internal systems and instruments: the Antonov pilots did use "feets" only for international communication purposes...

      It is a part of Soviet "Buran" space program. It designed to transport spase craft fixed outside above fuselage. That's why it have six engine and kind of "cutted horns" on its back. Normally it able to fly on two of them. You can notice, that it boosted only four engine during takeoff.

      it was a great rotation, and it took a very long time for it to rotate.
