- The XB-19 was so gigantic that it destroyed the runway on its first test flight. But things didn't go too well for the X-19, and the reason, is #NotWhatYouThink #NWYT #shorts

The feats of aerial engineering we had back in ww2 is insane

@@NotWhatYouThink epic
Imagine how far the engineering has gone for the top secret planes these days
now we got secret ufos and shit lmfaooooo
Especially with the technology they had back then. Imagine what we could do now!
Those comically large tires reminds of the Bugs Bunny cartoons.
It seems artists inspired by the contemporary big wheel bombers and stuff
yeah, that one episode with the plane gremlins
big chungus
@@vukashin88 Yep, the same one!
And yet, they weren't large enough, pressure is force divided by area, it needed to be larger to not crush the pavement
Named a bomber peacemaker
"yeah sound bout right"
It worked though didn't it, MAD is a powerful tool
The police officer is maintaining the peace on the street. The military does the same nationally. If you can't inflict more harm on a belligerent contry, you will not have peace. If you don't believe me, just ask the Ukrainians.
@@williamromine5715 I think you also need asking middle east country such as Iran, Iraq, Libya
@@rekire___ You are absolutely right. When one country has a massive Military superiority over another, and the countries have conflicts, peace is very rare. When the countries are more evenly matched, peace generally prevails. Although, Iraq and Iran were more evenly and they fought like rabid dogs?
They named it ' Peace maker ' so that whenever enemy says they want peace they can deploy those bombers
I’m never “tire”d of these videos
comedy genius
If I were having trouble fixing a tire you would say
"Don't worry, no pressure"
@@electricalcoconut979 THERES MORE COMEDY GENIUS?
@@Peppzy yes, yes there is.
I get tire'd of that annoying narrator though
Anyone else who lived in Ft. Worth in the 70’s and 80’s remember a B-36 parked outside of Carswell AFB along with a B-58, F-105, an F-111, and a Vietnam-era B-52? It was free to go in and hands-on view these treasures! (Amazingly, I never saw anyone else viewing these planes when my brother and I visited!!! I would have been there daily if it was possible!) Sadly, the planes are no longer there. My father, an aeronautical engineer-retired, worked in advanced design at General Dynamics (later Lockheed) that was situated next to Carswell…so, the rare chance my bro and I got to go with Mom to pick up Dad from work, we would spend a few minutes at the museum. The B-36 was SO MASSIVE, it’s impossible to impress upon the size here…but one perspective that always amazed me was standing next to the nose on the ground and looking back, over the main horizontal wing and seeing the top of the vertical tail seemingly (and almost LITERALLY) a football field away. The fact that the nose…and the tail at such a massive distance away yet connect to the same airplane was astounding. Also, standing under the main wing near one of the landing gear and looking up at the underside of the wing at the immense height…about 15+ feet up…was also mind boggling. And the 6 propellers; how the engines were powerful enough to simply turn each massive prop, not to mention lift this entire monster into the air, was also mind-bending. The sheer size of this behemoth made at such an early time of America aviation is absolutely astounding. I wish everyone else had a chance to stand next to one of these so you could also grasp the size of this aviation achievement. (Fun fact…B-36’s are the stars of the movie “Strategic Air Command” from 1955 with Jimmy Stewart.)
Lifted truck owners are probably having some ideas right now
Nah, stol plane pilots and their oversized bush tires
LMAO
Even the first few versions of the B-36 had this problem until a quad-bogie main gear was developed.
Air force:"why are we naming this bomber peacemaker again?"
Co worker:"because if we use it,then no one will be left alive on the other side to fight so it will be peaceful"
The first guy:"seems legit"
Like the revolver
I was in Fort Worth and saw some excavation of the main runway that had been constructed for the single-wheel B-36 landing gear; it was easily six feet thick.
I love you're vids man, I subbed to you a few months ago and I do not regret it. Keep up the great work!
I have never seen a 20-story building with a wingspan....
Imagine eating lunch and a huge building just flies over you dropping bombs.
@@Pussmash That would be something to see.
Looks like Red Skull's plane in Captain America:The First Avenger
Imagine being one of the Wright brothers and seeing that just 40 years into the future after you flew like 100 feet and seeing a plane with a wingspan of that length that crushes the ground beneath it
inventor Abbas ibn Firnas
In 9th century Spain, Muslim inventor Abbas ibn Firnas designed a flying machine -- hundreds of years before da Vinci drew plans of his own.
The first powered, controlled, sustained flight took place 50 years before the Wright brothers, in 1852 (Henri Giffard flew 15 miles with a steam engine mounted on a dirigible).
One of the most prominent names when it comes to aviation, Alberto Santos-Dumont was a well-known Brazilian aviator. He captured the attention of Americans and Europeans with his airship flights. Dumont was the first to achieve flight of a powered airplane with his 14-bis biplane in Europe.
That's the big brother of the B-18
"The biggest bomber in USA"
Meanwhile Soviet TU-160 :
Behold my size
Tu 130 was made years later 1987 😏😏😏... Usa made B52 in 1955... But Usa build Stealth technology in 1981 bomber nigthHawk today russia and china can't build a single stealth technology aircraft 💁💁💁... USA b2 bomber in 1997 and this year build B21... I'm Just saying just saying... 👌

I think i found the real life counterpart to the GTA Online Bombushka
I thought it later became the B-29, oof
I guess fate leads to the boneyard
chico does that look like a b-29 to you
This may have been one of the B-29's early prototypes.
@@erzahler1930 that's not how it works. B designates bomber. The number doesnt mean design number. Theyre not all made by by same companies. See b17 vs b24 vs b25 for an idea
What war pushes humans to do is insane
B-36 "peacemaker" lol what a name
"It had a wingspan span equal to a 20 storey building" BUILDINGS HAVE WINGS!!!!!!!!
That's pretty crazy. I would love to see the wright brothers witness how far we've come since their time.
This would surely make some good Yo-MaMa jokes...
Peacemaker irony
imagine directing this plane and having to make people believe “HEY WHOA WHOA WHOA YOURE CRUSHIN MY RUNWAY!!”
Thank you for NOT saying it’s “not what you think.”
My dad was the army Corp of engineers officer in charge of putting the runways in for the b36 at Fairchild AFB. 12 feet of aggregate base and 4 feet of concrete.
A bomber peacemaker? Now that's what I call 'Ironic'.
A civil engineer definetly got chewed out for the asphalt failing lol
I love how a bomber was named peacemaker. Lol
hello NWYT love your vids
Well done to the great British engineers that piloted all of these projects back in the day
Reminds me of Howard Hugh’s Spruce Goose. A 20 story building is usually between 216 feet high to 260 feet high. The wingspan of the Spruce Goose was 320 feet long.
"I ton tires" loooooooooool
'Hey mr Wright, remember that first flight you took? Well in about 40 years we'll have areal fortresses with wings longer than the distance you flew'
Yeah and 20 years after that we walk on the moon
Thank you for not just arbitrarily saying it's not what you think when it's not needed. Cool info bout the plane.
The insane amount of engineering in ww2 is insane 🥇
In Germany they build roads better by digging down 9 feet and filling 6 with concrete and the last 3 asphalt, thats why they don’t have to repair roads anywhere near as often. Highways are the width they are to be able to drive tanks down them two at a time if needed
3 feet of asphalt? So your telling me German pavers make 15 passes on each lane of highway when in construction? I work on an expanded asphalt recycling machine and we use the biggest German paver available, a Vogele model and it struggles with any petroleum asphalt product more than 4 inches thick. Any thicker and the required slow speed needed to operate causes oscillating of the paver tamper bars and you get a chattery road.
I'm doubtful most German highways have this volumn of costly materials. But I could be wrong. North American airport runways have about 18 inches of asphalt, or half of your highways as you claim. Doesn't stop need for repairs through unless your just comparing it to a single lift of hot mix or chip and seal coatings. Many pot holes start at the surface and is a result of poor mix designs.
Maybe German airports have 3 feet of asphalt.
I call bs on that .
Nah, thats not true. The roads are made of sand, gravel and asphalt. No concrete and certainly not 9 feet deep. Maybe 3 feet sand, one foot gravel and max. one foot asphalt.
That's a lot of material.
However, Germany does seem to love their concrete. And to go overkill.
Any sources?
@@elgoog7830 I didn't have a source, but when I look what the workers do on a construction site, I can see that they don't dig that deep and that there is no concrete involved.
Now i googeld it--its gravel sand and asphalt, but all layers less thick than i said. That 9 feet thing is bullshit.
The peacemaker
Peace maker is a funny name for a big bomber
One is at Hill AFB in Ogden, UT. The other is at the USAF museum in Dayton, OH.
I knew I had seen that tire before!
short but quite detailed
A bomber by the name of Peace-maker 😂😂,
Wow
It was never utilized in any war, both conventional and nuclear. So... Yeah.
@@texan-american200 many countries never used specific bombs or missiles in war doest it make them peace maker? 😂
@@muhammadgulzaib7567
Many countries never went toe to toe against the Soviet Union. Until recently, they didn't directly attack any foreign nation and the balance of power was maintained. So yeah, I'm holding to my conviction.
Dammit Howard Hughes!
This makes one wonder if the designer(s) ever worked again.
Valuable lesson in developing anything new. Will it be obsolete by the time it's actually built? Hence build for the future developing as you go
I grew up with the B-36
Nope! It crushed the pavement because it was carrying Gemma Collins.
What was insanely futuristic and oddly modern today is the I-400 sub!
These things look like ace combat superweapons but scaled down, imagine what an ace combat set in the early wars of strangereal would be like
>The Biggest Bomber in the World!
>It never entered service.
WHAT?!
wait. What about that super big German seaplane bomber with turrets on it's wings
But you forgot to say "its not what you think"
This is a modern marvel.
It needed more wheels and tires on the gears. All of the weight was on 3. Jet airliners now are on 10-14 tires. That's a lot of pressure on such a small surface area.
My grandpa talked about building these runways.
Technical all bombers crushed pavement at one point or another
I'm sorry, But THAT is super impressive...That's Huge especially for 1940!!
The sad thing about the peacemaker that it was so unreliable and an maintenance disaster
Pictures and videos just don't give the sheer size of this thing justice. The wingspan of a 20 story building? Holy shyt.
Bomber plane being called peace maker is pretty ironic
A respected member of management assumed control of the DC8 marshaling at DFW in order to depart the aircraft in a timely manner. One of the main landing gear went off the apron and sank into the asphalt. It was a bad day...
I have seen one of the tires at the national Air Force museum in Dayton Ohio, it was positively massive.
Who else didn't know 20 story buildings had wings.
Nokia: *finally a worthy opponent,our battle will be legendary*
I didn't even know 20story buildings had wings
Gee, it was EXACTLY what I thought.
A bomber called B36 peacemaker...
Hey, it made peace
Only in America ...a bomber called peace maker.
I believe one is at the national af museum. Very big tire, next to a B-36.
Wow that's intense
Fun fact: the Convair b36 was a bomber who appeared in a 1955 film (I'm pretty sure you know lol)
I saw the movie Strategic Air Command starring Jimmy Stewart. Gorgeous air scenes!
I'm pretty sure other than spacecraft this might just be the biggest thing we've put in the air
Specifically asphalt. I think that’s crucial to point out.
nobody
USA: calling a bomber peacemaker
I didn't know 20 story buildings had Wing spans.
This thing…what a waste of money. Billions of dollars just lit on fire.
Ive seen one of these tires im pretty sure, either in the NMUSAF @ Wright Patterson in Dayton, or at the Udvar Hazy center of the smithsonian in Chantilly, Va. Been to both so many times i can't remember, but if you've never been to either one, go to both, just to be safe
0:27 what a sarcastic name for a bomber
cant have a war if everyone gets nuked into oblivion
Talk about the XB19 but thumbnail is the B-36F
And that’s when tied rebar reinforced concrete pours were invented.
I love how a bomber and one of the most famous pistols ever made are both nicknamed peacemaker. Both are killing machines but have such sweet names. *irony intensifies*
At least the bomber was never utilized in any war, both conventional and nuclear. So yeah, Peacemaker.
Where's the irony?
After they're used, peace ensues.
That b18 crushed pavement wow didn’t now it was that heavy and no wonder why since it is the only bomber that was able to carry a 2000lb bomb during that time
Only Americans will make a bomber plane and call it peace maker 🤣
Crazy how it was flown only a handful of times during it's first testflight.
Obviously, they learned that a number of smaller tires are better than a couple really big ones.
One of the absolute unit of a wheels is at Dayton’s Air Force museum
I thought so!!!!
*having ace combat flashbacks of the tu-95*
hmm, this could be a larger version of the tu-95 if it was never scrapped, like a boss plane or smth
Wheel I ever get tired of this
B-36 Was THE Biggest Sized Bomber.
The boneyard isn't truly a scrapyard dude!
At first I thought this was a lead up to a yo mama joke... I was so wrong
Now you know that size matters !
Impressive
Gaijin... look its kind of secret^^
That must've been some bad pavement
It was before rebar reinforced concrete was popular
What a complete & utter WASTE of taxpayers $$$!!!
You weren’t even around to pay that money.
those tires.. holy shit.. i thought they were small!
We are living in a world were a bomber is called peacemaker
Crazy how much research goes in the trash. But gee, I am glad they made the effort anyway. Research leads to awesome technological advances!
I think they have one of their tires in the WW2 wing of Wright Patterson Airforce museum!
