this channel ONLY has 890 subs?
Thanks so much, building up by the day!!
not anymore, I'm surprised that this was a year ago or 2 from 890 to like 5270 subs
leonardo da vinci, creating a blue print for an helicopter back in 1487 should’ve been mentioned
Wow he did? Insane if true
Just mindblowing how the invention of planes progressed year by year this vid actually taught me the reasoning behind the saying 'Slow but steady wins the race'.Thank you for this amazing vid.i was just chilling on the backyard when i saw aeroplanes flying and just fascinated by its ability to stay on air and how it all began.Thank you again for helping me grow my knowledge kind sir❤😊
Too bad this guy skipped over gliders which led to the Wright flyer. Example: Sir George Cayley (1773-1857) built the world's first hand-launched glider in 1804. It was five feet long and was the first example of the configuration of a modern aircraft, with separate systems for lift and control. Cayley deserves to be remembered as the first aeronautical engineer. Also missing is rocketry which led to the space shuttle and moon landings.
This really helped with my private pilot class in highschool
Great videos. How about History of Rock, History of Certain art form, and the history of various architecture styles. I think that would be interesting.
Thanks Wesley that's great to hear! Those sound like some great topic suggestions. We will definitely use one of your ideas for a future history analysis video!
this is exaclty what i wanted to learn more about THANK YOU for the video :)
thanks for helping me. i had to do power point presentation on planes
haha i'm doing one now
Amazing work and research man. Thank you
Thank you for giving credit to Gustave Whitehead with "First in Flight" in 1901 beating the Wright Brothers by 2 years in Bridgeport Connecticut.
There is no evidence of Whitehead ever flying in 1901.
He claimed to have flown 5 miles, but could not provide witnesses. Interviewed years later, his story had a lot of discrepancies and contradictions. When asked to show his designs, he produced drawings that he admitted were not of the craft that he claimed to have flown, and were technologically outdated already in 1901.
24:35 i could not find any information on this claim
Edit, that's an error, you meant the X-43, the aircraft pictured is the X-45 which is an UAV which's top speed is around 200 knots.
There was only spark plugs in the first airplane engines, for electricity, with simple wires, and distributor cups. Like a basic car. And a battery.
Then, came jet engines... and radar.
So, epoch 1 is no computer, pre jet. The readouts are mechanical, or more simple still.
Then there's a transition with some radar piston planes, and non-computing jet and rocket aircraft... mechanical computers that get more advanced but basically analouge gyroscopes.
Then, everything had radar in it.
Epoch 3. The past was compartmentalized, analouge computers. The engines don't matter anymore, at this stage, they all have some form of computational ability, powered by electricity, and radio or radar.
We are at epoch 4 now. The engines are usually hybrid electric, or only electric. They run on fusion or fission power, or hyper-advanced types of combustion. The computer is neurologically linked with the user, on a genetic level. Each pilot has one, which is a medical procedure, requiring no incision.
But, you could mix and match these epoch.
You could have a ww1 biplane with a neurological computer on it,
Or a fusion powered magnetoplasmadynamic airplane, with no computer, instead using gyroscopes and analouge gear systems. Probably.
Etc.
Otto lilienthal wasn't mentioned if i recall correctly
The first powered plane flight was by a twenty-five year old New Zealander, Richard Pearse on March 31, 1902. just before the Wright brothers but not very well known
When New Zealand produces the slightest shred of evidence beyond old stories repeated as bar talk, then aviation historians will start to take that claim seriously.
Amazing video! Thank you!
Where can i find this powerpoint of pdf?
You are missing a whole big part of the history. Glenn Curtiss!!! He even got american pilot license #1, won the first airmeet in france. Is regarded as the father of naval aviation. Trained american pilots in san diego. Created the most built plane during the first world war (JN4) which was used to train pilots in the UK and later used for the us mail. Developed the idea of the air carrier (and tested it with the american military) and created the plane that flew for the first time across the atlantic (NC4) among many, many, many other accomplishments.
THE CHANNEL ONLY HAS 5.4K SUBS?
UNBELIVEABLE!
great video fam 👏🏽
Why do you not mention Otto Lilienthal?
He was the first one to fly with heavier-than-air aircrafts (gliders), and the Wright brothers studied his findings.
No mention of Clement Ader who made the first take off of a manned engined machine either. Also no mention of Louis Bleriot crossing the channel in 1909 with the first thing really looking like an actual plane (Bleriot XI). Aviation was invented progressively by many pioneers.
No mention of Sir George Cayley either, who, apart from being responsible for the foundations for the science of aeronautics and the first manned fixed wing flight, he also invented the tensioned wire spoked wheel, better known as the bicycle wheel. Something that allowed the Wright brothers to undertake their experiments.
YOU MISSED HENRI COANDA, AUREL VLAICU AND TRAIAN VUIA

Awesome video man ! 💯 definitely subscribing.
The worlds first powered flight was the Ariel steam carriage, Chard Somerset England, 1848. 55 years before the Wright brothers.
Going down a track and crashing is not defined as flying.
@@mikearmstrong8483 Airborne for 30 meters under power. Hence the human races first powered flight.
Didn’t Leonardo Da Vinci also make a flying machine?
He designed one but it was never made it should have been included still
No Leonardo DaVinci drew some designs but never built. There was an Inventor and builder in Bridgeport Connecticut who beat the Wright Bros. by 2 years and flew as early as 1899. His name was Gustave Whitehead. I met his family in Connecticut and there’s a Museum to his honor in Germany.
It is arguable that the Wright brothers did the first heavier then air powered flight. Their first model weighed over 500 pound and only had a 12 HP engine, later tests showed that that airplane could not sustain flight, It was under powered. Later models upped the HP but still flew badly, Glen Curtis made a big step in flight performance.
santos dumont was the first
J Bird -- _"...later tests showed that that airplane could not sustain flight..."_
That's incorrect. But feel free to provide what you consider to be evidence for your claim.
@@cardinalRG I cant find my source yet but consider this, 500 pound airplane with 200 pound man is 700 pounds. divide by 12 hp gives power loading of 58 pounds/HP. Thats beyond really bad, The aircraft was launched with the aid of a catapult into strong winds maybe 20 MPH. Longest flight was like 800 feet in 59 seconds, thats not sustained flight. Subsequent flights of replicas could not sustain flight either. Believe what you want i dont care.
@@jbird6609 -- _"I cant find my source yet but consider this, 500 pound airplane with 200 pound man is 700 pounds. divide by 12 hp gives power loading of 58 pounds/HP. "_
Neither Wright weighed near to 200 pounds, and you’re omitting many essential factors. For example, what was the engine’s torque and gearing? What was the propeller efficiency, and the aircraft’s coefficients of lift and drag? What is the computed effect of ground effect? If you can’t reckon these and all essential factors, then you’re just guessing.
_”Thats beyond really bad.”_
By what standard is it “bad”? (I’ll point out that “bad” is a subjective term anyway, and the laws of physics don’t care what you think is bad or not.)
_”The aircraft was launched with the aid of a catapult into strong winds maybe 20 MPH.”_
The 1903 Flyer did not use a catapult. And winds only affect takeoff distance, but they are not the hinge point for taking off at all. The Wrights had about sixty feet of rail, and without a strong headwind they would have needed much more length.
_”Longest flight was like 800 feet in 59 seconds, thats not sustained flight. “_
What are your criteria for “sustained flight”?
_”Subsequent flights of replicas could not sustain flight either.”_
The 1903 Flyer barely flew, was extremely difficult to control, and it required dry and cold air. (Low density altitude) Attempts with replicas have been made in less favorable atmospheric conditions (higher density altitude), by pilots who greatly out-weighed the Wrights and who had none of the brother’s extensive practice and experience with the unwieldy aircraft. That no modern flights have matched the originals in length/duration is not only unsurprising, but it says nothing conclusive about the abilities of the original aircraft.
_”Believe what you want i dont care”_
That’s an odd thing to say for someone who makes claims about “later tests”, but is unwilling or unable to provide evidence when requested. You should ponder your urge to make technical conclusions based on hunches instead of technical analysis. Your weight-to-horsepower figure is meaningless while devoid of context. Consider this real-world comparison: the gate locks of the Panama canal weight 745 tons each, but before modernization they were swung with ease by a 40-horsepower motor each. That’s 37,250 pounds/HP…but gee, that seems impossible, so it must *_be_* impossible, right? Friend, I hope you get the point, that the answer always lies in real analysis, not guesswork.
@@cardinalRG I was just using round numbers so OK< say 500 pounds for aircraft, 150 pounds for pilot and gas, 650 divided by 12 gives power loading of 54 pounds/HP, Do you feel more special now?
Cessna 152 is about 15 pounds /HP. Come on man you must be an exceptional pilot to be able to fly something that under powered. joking. So what pre-tell makes you an aviation authority, besides having a big mouth. LOL.
When i was 15 , 50 years ago, i soloed in a J-3 piper cub. A very low powered airplane.
1200 pounds /65 HP = 18 pounds /HP. so when i say 54 pounds is beyond bad thats not guessing, thats knowing more then i want to mouth off about like you.
Enjoyable. Nice frames.
Thanks so much, that's great to hear!!
Using this for my class test tomorrow 😭👍
this is the reason why UA-cam was made...
Amazing Video✨
Thanks so much, I'm so happy you enjoyed it!!
Talking about aviation without even mentioning Clément Ader or Blériot is a huge mistake. That is history for USA, not real history
great job!
how this channel has only 1360 subs ?? Such a High quality channel deserve better than that !
-a french.
Thanks so much, that's really nice to hear! I've got a lot of new content coming out soon, so I'm hoping to gain more subscribers as the year goes on!
@@americanhistorygeek1926 I realy hope for you.
you deserve the youtube money
Why is it always a couple a brothers lol
Interesting
Oh my goodness, where is the credit to Gustave Whitehead in Bridgeport Connecticut beating the Wright Bros. by 2 years in 1901 and possibly as early as 1899?
Nice
Thank you!!
Santos Dumont invented the airplane
No individual, or even pair of brothers, invented the aircraft. It resulted from the work of many people.
Santos Dumont invented the plane see the canal.marcos Palhares
Wright brothers. Hoax lie by the American government
@@ronaldotimoteo2428 --I've heard what Palhares has to say. My comment stands: _No individual, or even pair of brothers, invented the aircraft. It resulted from the work of many people._
Santos Dumont invented the plane ok thanks
Good video that is a pleasure to watch. I would however respectfully want to point out that I find the video unbalanced. Half the video addresses early designs that never flew at all or were some kind of balloon, which is no airplane at all. As a result, the further time/history advances, the less informative this video becomes. But still, I learned a thing or two from it!
Great ❤
They are skiping the most important years 1905 to 1914 .This is not serious .
Leonardo da vinci invented hot air balloon！
F
Completly missed the subject
But marie coanda invented the aurcraft
عندما اسحتل المغول بغداد العربيه جميع العلوم الاختراعات العربيه سرقت من اليهود ووضعها في صناديق تحت الارض في روما في واخرجت هذه االعلوم قبل ٢٥٠ سنه ومن خلالها استطاع الاوربين الصناعه والتطور .. ( تلك هي الحقيقه )
تصحيح: كانت العلوم إسلامية من علماء مسلمون وليس يهود.
@@timelapse5586 سرقت من قبل اليهود علوم واختراعات المسلمين وايضا علوم وحضارات ماقبل الطوفان قبل نوح جمعت هذا الحضارات الان بتوجيه من الشيطان الملعون له اهداف لانعلم ماهي

The Wright´s GLIDER, to be correct. Conveniently omitting the 14bis AIRPLANE, not a glider...The problem with some people is that past istory cannot be changed (unless with a time machine...)
I encourage you to do some better research, friend. The 1903 Wright Flyer was not a glider, nor were the 1904 and 1905 Flyers, all of which flew before the 14-bis left the ground.
Santos Dumont created the Airplane, Wright Brothers created the Argry Birds
@@VitorCG1
Brazil has created nothing more than a very poor educational system that brainwashes its citizens with government propaganda.
The Wrights flew a controlled powered flight in 1903, it was witnessed, documented, photographed, and published in the media all at that time. That Brazilians refusal to accept that just demonstrates their national ignorance, because they cannot refute the proof so they just pretend it doesn't exist.
@@VitorCG1KKKKKKKKKKKKK.... ESSA FOI ÉPICA
Epics like the ramayana and mahabharata depict spaceships
عباس ابن فرناس كان اختراعه وفكرته انطلاقه الطياران كل شي اساسه واختراعه عند العرب الاوربين فقط مطورون فقط
Bessie Coleman was not an African no an American. saludos
You are clearly misinformed and you left out key figures of the history of the aviation and you’ve attributed the discovery/ invention/ achievements of several milestones to the wrong people
What a waste of time
