That dehavilland swallow is absolutely stunning. There's a lot of people throwing 'who did what' comments around but there is no denying, that is one beautiful plane!
Im only 9 minutes in and Im blown away by the footage that brings this story vividly and graphically to life. (sorry if that sounds like and advert, or cheesy testimonial. Its just my humble opinion)
I'm astounded this fine documentary has 47 thumbs down. Some NOVA stuff is a cinch, this one is tough to find, thanks. Still looking for an original VHS copy of "The Satellite Sky" from 1990.
This was originally on PBS NOVA titled "Fastest Planes in the Sky", first aired in 1991, but I didn't see it and record it on VHS until 1995-- and haven't seen it in over a decade since the VCR broke and the tapes are withered. Thank you for uploading this, I hail this as one of many (if not "The") documentary that got me into engineering. I wondering now can you fish two more for me, I haven't been able to fine them, both were from late 90's and from the Discovery Channel. One was part of a mini-series of the Wings show called "Future Wings" regarding supersonics and superjumbos (before A380 got its name and before the NASA/Boeing HCST was canceled). The other introduced me to the rumored "Aurora" spyplane-- but it wasn't the video titled "Inside Area 51" though. This unknown show specifically mentioned the callsign "November Mike"; though only those versed in Aurora spyplane mythology will recognize that. Anyway, thank you for uploading, UA-cam has become my tool for finding unpopular programs that meant something to me.
To think that the x-1 achieved speeds beyond mach 1 without swept back wings proves that if brute force doesn't work, you simply aren't trying hard enough.
This is a very interesting, although a little dated documentary for what it concerns the history of flight. Fast paced historical summary, with good old footage. When it comes to present day, it shows that dreams do not always come true. Thanks for sharing anyway!
Love the way that Twist guy talks so casual. You brits really are speed freaks! Good luck to your bloodhound team man! Hope we get it first but doubt we will. Your car looks great! God bless america.
Yeah, I caught that too. At $800, regular people (at least upper middle class anyway) would have flown it. And just to be clear, the $8,000 fare was for a one-way ticket.
Maxime Guillaume. filed his patent for the turbojet aircraft engine (no. 534,801) on 3 May 1921 and was granted 13 January 1922 The first turbojet engine was built by Hans von Ohain and Max Hahn in 1934 The first sucessful test flight of a jet propelled aircraft was August 27, 1939 by the HeS 3 engine designed by von Ohain.
Can someone please tell me what the songs's name at the very beginning of the video is? I have been searching for that type of music for a long long time. Does someone know what kind of genre/direction that is? Thank you for every answer in advance!
Asylant It used to be called " New Age--Instrumental ".... that is the genre to look into....There is also " New Age--Vocal ", and '' Space Music "....along with some others. Don't know what the name of the specific song is...It would probably be listed in the Credits at the end of the documentary. (credits are omitted in this copy of the documentary; if you can locate the original, the song title should appear in the credits).
Does any one know the very first Jet aircraft to break through the speed of sound. When I say jet I mean jet engine not rocket powered. So please no bell X1
If you mean an aircraft that went into operational service, I think the North American F-100 Super Sabre was the first production aircraft that could reach Mach 1 in level flight.
Most technical competition has been muscled out of the way by the US over the years - remember the AVRO ARROW (replaced by Voodoos OMG..) and TSR2 (replaced by F111... sigh...). Most of the titanium manufacturing expertise developed at AVRO went to lockheed - who then went on to build the SR71...
CockatooDude Oh... I had just suggested you looked for SKYLON. Obviously, you already knew about it... Now, WHY nobody is betting on that fabulous 20=years tested technology?
***** I don't even know. Too many skeptics, but you never know until you try right? So I'd say go ahead and fund the thing. On another note, just imagine the revolution in transportation once antimatter becomes cheaper.
Just as the American developments slowly married engine efficiency and stealth characteristics into their designs, it looks like any future of trans sonic commercial transportation will require the application of research into the blended wing and hull designs that resulted in the SR 71. At least from my armchair, reducing the impact on the environment in areas of noise and chemical pollution will reduce the impact on the bottom line of the airlines flying these planes . A valid application for the computer simulation texting methinks.
The show is for.American audiences so of course it's going to highlight American invention, just like British shows highlight British invention and so on in most countries. The jet technology was not stolen it was shared by decision of the British govt. Along with a myriad of other technology. The show used the word smuggled because it was trying to convey the message that it was difficult to cross the Atlantic in 1942.
THE CONCORD JET IS 1 OF THE BEST FLYING JETS STILL TILL THIS DAY!!! EVEN MICHAEL JACKSON BOUGHT HIMSELF A CONCORD JET AND CUSTOMIZED THE INSIDE OF IT BACK IN THE 90'S
"prepares to blast off into orbit." I can already tell that this isn't done by someone who know's what they are talking about. No plane has ever gone to orbit under it's own power. EDIT: Too soon I guess.
3:30 "nothing accelerates technology like armed combat" This isn't the first time I've heard war described in glowing terms. In fact, on NPR recently, some idiot was describing how good war is for this very reason. That person, I nominate to go into armed combat FIRST. I'm sure the experience will change their mind.
Paul Linhart- But it was not the cold war that actually paid for and built the space craft to go to the moon. Wars is actually very expensive and produces nothing for the economy, except for those actually involved In the war materials construction, but mostly for the corporations and their investors, but for the country, it stifles the economy and leave the country heavily in debt. These days, at least in the US, with the capitalist having more and more influence of the government and with their reduced taxes, which reduces the governments revenues, it drives up the national debt and does no good for the public what so ever. Some of the poorest countries on earth, have large militaries that keep their people poor to maintain the military, that is often used to subdue the people that have to pay for it. Yes, wars to spur innovation, but mostly for war materials that usually do not transfer to the civilian population. There is no dou8bt, except maybe by you, that the world's people, and the worlds economies would be much better without wars.
Yes, there's some serious hating on the Condorde here, a commercial lemon? I don't think so, in the end yes, but there's a lot more to it than that, and most planes end up being commercially inadequate due to technological advancements making them inferior whilst surparsing there specifications, the Concorde was made inferior whilst not being surparsed in its most important specifications i.e. mach 2 + transport for the rich. Its been obsolete for a long time but not surpassed in its game or goal. A lemon... NO.
They cancelled the X-30 From Wikipedia: The demands of being a man-rated vehicle, with the instrumentation, environmental control system, and safety equipment, made X-30 larger, heavier, and more expensive than required for a technology demonstrator. The result was a cancellation of the X-30 and a more modest hypersonic program that culminated in the unmanned X-43 "Hyper-X", which is essentially an unmanned scaled-down X-30. A 50-foot, detailed 1/3d scale[3] mock-up of the X-30 was built by engineering students at Mississippi State University's Raspet Flight Research Lab in Starkville, Mississippi.[4][5] The mock-up is on display at the Aviation Challenge campus of the U.S. Space Camp facility in Huntsville, Alabama. source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rockwell_X-30
Gary Tarr maybe, maybe not...But seriously, who cares. With that kind of attitude one could say every airplane was a total copy of the Wright brothers airplane. Nobody does. The M52 never existed. It never flew. It was never built. It had been researched then cancelled. The British government at that time was bankrupt and it decided the country had other needs that were more important than an attempt at breaking the sound barrier. Regardless, it's ancient history. The American's have moved on to build far more important planes like the X-15, SR-71, Valkarie and they even walked on the moon. The M 52 is something that is so very small, so long ago and so very insignificant. Seriously, nobody cares.
You know this is an American documentary when Concorde is slated the fuck out of. FACT: the majority of the time it was in service it made a profit. Jealousy is a cruel mistress when the little europeans could design a supersonic airliner when the yanks couldn't.
Daniel May It made a profit at $8000 a ticket. The 747 could make the same trip for less than $300 in only twice the time. It had limited range, limited area of operation (only between Europe and North America) and high maintenance cost. Maybe they will bring it back when people think $8000 is worth it again.
***** And how many planes can run over a small bit of aluminum on the runway and NOT crash? An airplane needs to be designed to operate in less than perfect conditions.
That was a time of prosperity and hope. Our nation has since been hijacked, and we're trillions of dollars in debt from fighting pointless wars, and unwise stewardship. The American Dream, that ray of hope, that candle flickering in the night, has been extinguished. We no longer have the means to bring these dreams to life. Politics and greed are poison to all but the elite.
Question,...why do the Wright Brothers get all the credit for the first heavy then air flight??? The truth is that RW Pearce from New Zealand flew a motor powered heavier then air flying machine months earlier,...its time to set the record straight.
+John Mhor I'm not taking facts from somebody who can't even comprehend the difference between then and than, and if you don't like it, then you fly away in your heavier than air vehicle.
*Regan said a two hour trip to Tokyo on the "Orient express" BUT I thought it was elon musks idea* . Regan said "by the end of the decade!" He's not Kennedy, not even close, so he's even ripping off this idea, trying to be remembered for something great, instead we got reganomics and now our generation has debit and lives at our parents house. When I was a kid any married couple, without a degree, could buy a small house, now you need two college degrees to even have a chance.. Well 20 years later and no concord II and no opportunities for the young. It doesn't make sense.
This was the start of NASA's funded failures at developing new launch vehicles. The list was to grow long. X-33, X-34, Orbital Space Plane, National Launch, Aries I, and Aries V, and I'm sure soon, SLS will be abandoned too. I hope I'm wrong, but unlikely not. The US would be in a very bad spot if it were not for Space X, and to a lessor degree Orbital Sciences.
What craft holds the record for the fastest? SR71. Is it me or doz. That concord look like a B1.? Hmm I think we already done that!! SR 71 is faster than a bullet!! Look up the damn thing! Heat is what took it out ov serv.. now that is a fact!
Liquid Nitrogen at -300 degree Centigrade? Given that Absolute Zero is -273 Degrees Centigrade, and nothing can be colder than that, we have yet another example of Americans talking shit.
Wow ,you really get nit picky in your anti American pov's.i don't know why people expect every documentary to be a "un all sides given equal credit and air time" when it's an American program made for American audiences ,and still I think Brits got a lot of air time.this was also before media started really making stuff for international audiences .im not bashing you,I'm just amazed at how almost every video on you tube is expected to pander to every country,every design and make sure every body gets their ego stroked.if people don't like watching American made media than they should make stuff for themselvs.i just don't see how this video is unfair in its assessment of the aircraft it reviewed.people get pissed because the Concorde was "bashed" ,but all it said was it was too expensive to compete in today's market,hence why it's not run anymore.i guess I just wish we could all be satisfied but on you tube people really take any non mention or critical analysis as being a slight
It's easy to find the flaws isn't it? Like at 48:25 the video says "liquid hydrogen" and you write "liquid nitrogen." You are correct about absolute zero, but yours and the video's are both trivial mistakes, not lies, boasting or subterfuge.
Fifty State My hearing is not part of a video presentation. But let's say it was Nitrogen. It still can't be at absolute zero, nevermind -300 C, nor can liquid 'anything'.
all this techno-fight for better, faster, higher. i recomend to fight the next world war with jokes, and if it's not enough ... with used soks. the first who faint, has lost the war.
How can this video go from German jets to American jets with out mentioning the incredible work of Whipple in England? Or that England had jets first but were afraid to use them out of fear that the Germans might copy them? Nor do they mention that the Germans used data and research pioneered by American Robert Goddard, research he did during the 1930s while being laughed at and ignored by his own country? I hate videos like this!
Whittle's engine was junk when it was forced on the US by Churchill as a begging bowl called the Tizzard Mission İN 1940 .. GE engineers have extensively redesigned it to make it work. Whittle's 1930 engine design belongs to Jurassic Park . American postwar engine technology was predominantly influenced by German designs. Whittle's reverse-flow design was already obsolete before the war ended... www.engineerswalk.co.uk/sh_walk.html In the meantime the Government had decided that the secrets of jet propulsion should be divulged to the USA. General Electric was chosen to develop their own version of the Whittle's engine. Hooker visited GE in 1943 and was astonished to find that they had already produced an engine with 4000 lbs thrust. On his return he set about a new design with 5000 lbs thrust. LOL.....Poor limeys.. Without Brits the US would have developed its own version before the end of the war .. Fucking Tizzard mission spoiled everything ...
Bullettube Whittle's incredible work took many years longer than it should have. To bad the Brits didn't put more resources into Whittle's jet engine sooner. But this is really confusing, England had the first jets? They were afraid to use them out of fear Germany would copy them? The first jet powered plane was not English, nor the first operational jet fighter. But how and why would Germany copy them? That would not have been possible at that point in the war. I think the British kept them close to home because of the propaganda that would have happened if a British jet was shot down by a German jet. And I would have done the same thing. They were not needed and would have made no difference at that point in the war. They were new and valuable, keep them close to home.
Waste of fucking money. This will only benefit... Joy riders who want to take a quick flight into space and back. I'd rather invest my money into Solar Roadways, which benefits the world.
Propulsion systems like this are no longer practical or necessary. It requires developing materials that need to with stand extreme temperatures. The smart way is anti-gravitic which creates a vacuum and pulls the craft forward altering space/time, instead of the old method of being pushed from behind and the need for special resistance materials. With that said, there are already dark governments that have this technology through reversed engineering of downed ET crafts.
laugh away a shall... vajraman no but for real i understand the guy but flaming that we got it from UFOs is a little extreme don't you think? like were's the evidence?
That dehavilland swallow is absolutely stunning. There's a lot of people throwing 'who did what' comments around but there is no denying, that is one beautiful plane!

20:30 And I wondered why my planes in KSP always started shaking at high speed (with FAR installed (which fixed the aerodynamics))
Amazing vid, unseen historic footage.
"X-15 Blows up, pilot wets pants"
One of the most hilarious news title story ever.
Great Video...Very informative..Love the x planes...Concorde is a Great statement of what can be achieved when we, as a world work together...
thanks for posting - i found it interesting
41.38 bang on the afterburners! What a plane. Beautiful body coupled to mean raw power!!
Correction. $800 per ticket. Is incorrect. The ticket price Was $8,000.
Yeah, I caught that too. At $800, regular people (at least upper middle class anyway) would have flown it.
And just to be clear, the $8,000 fare was for a one-way ticket.

And in the year 2,000 we'll have hover cars and jet packs. I can't wait!

Great documentary compliments greetings from the flying dutchman
very good video
yes, thats baby there... woes lovely kick off...
Can someone please tell me what the songs's name at the very beginning of the video is? I have been searching for that type of music for a long long time. Does someone know what kind of genre/direction that is?
Thank you for every answer in advance!

How old is this thing?
what happend to HOTOL - The British Space Plane
Two wrongs don't make a right but two wrights make an airplane.
funny to watch now we are 20 yrs+ ahead of when this was made, if only we had a crystal ball:-)

Wow ,you really get nit picky in your anti American pov's.i don't know why people expect every documentary to be a "un all sides given equal credit and air time" when it's an American program made for American audiences ,and still I think Brits got a lot of air time.this was also before media started really making stuff for international audiences .im not bashing you,I'm just amazed at how almost every video on you tube is expected to pander to every country,every design and make sure every body gets their ego stroked.if people don't like watching American made media than they should make stuff for themselvs.i just don't see how this video is unfair in its assessment of the aircraft it reviewed.people get pissed because the Concorde was "bashed" ,but all it said was it was too expensive to compete in today's market,hence why it's not run anymore.i guess I just wish we could all be satisfied but on you tube people really take any non mention or critical analysis as being a slight
It's easy to find the flaws isn't it?
Like at 48:25 the video says "liquid hydrogen" and you write "liquid nitrogen."
You are correct about absolute zero, but yours and the video's are both trivial mistakes, not lies, boasting or subterfuge.
Fifty State My hearing is not part of a video presentation. But let's say it was Nitrogen. It still can't be at absolute zero, nevermind -300 C, nor can liquid 'anything'.

all this techno-fight for better, faster, higher. i recomend to fight the next world war with jokes, and if it's not enough ... with used soks. the first who faint, has lost the war.
25 year old film..... old info...
The De Havilland Comet blew up in flight , horrible thing for the industry , so much money lost ..... & oh yeah , i forgot , poor passengers ...
How can this video go from German jets to American jets with out mentioning the incredible work of Whipple in England? Or that England had jets first but were afraid to use them out of fear that the Germans might copy them? Nor do they mention that the Germans used data and research pioneered by American Robert Goddard, research he did during the 1930s while being laughed at and ignored by his own country? I hate videos like this!
+Bullettube Dude, they've only got 54 minutes. Chill.
Whittle
Whittle's engine was junk when it was forced on the US by Churchill as a begging bowl called the Tizzard Mission İN 1940 .. GE engineers have extensively redesigned it to make it work. Whittle's 1930 engine design belongs to Jurassic Park . American postwar engine technology was predominantly influenced by German designs. Whittle's reverse-flow design was already obsolete before the war ended...

In the meantime the Government had decided that the secrets of jet propulsion should be divulged to the USA. General Electric was chosen to develop their own version of the Whittle's engine. Hooker visited GE in 1943 and was astonished to find that they had already produced an engine with 4000 lbs thrust. On his return he set about a new design with 5000 lbs thrust.
LOL.....Poor limeys.. Without Brits the US would have developed its own version before the end of the war ..
Fucking Tizzard mission spoiled everything ...
Bullettube Whittle's incredible work took many years longer than it should have. To bad the Brits didn't put more resources into Whittle's jet engine sooner. But this is really confusing, England had the first jets? They were afraid to use them out of fear Germany would copy them? The first jet powered plane was not English, nor the first operational jet fighter. But how and why would Germany copy them? That would not have been possible at that point in the war. I think the British kept them close to home because of the propaganda that would have happened if a British jet was shot down by a German jet. And I would have done the same thing. They were not needed and would have made no difference at that point in the war. They were new and valuable, keep them close to home.
He need a combinese to play computer game..
Bum Philips...go Oilers...Love ya Blue! Aka, Houston Texans!
This was great until this turned into a bash Concorde session.
Laugh,no UFOs
Concordski lol
Wonderful the hate you get on Concorde...............sad...............
stupid documentary. didnt they know the maintenance cost, take for example the shuttle columbia
So we brits got our jet tech from the nazis did we? lucky us, we might have been left behind.
Concordski....shit the russian were and are still funny
+Ferrorschini Why invent anything, if you can copy (badly)or steal...?
Waste of fucking money. This will only benefit... Joy riders who want to take a quick flight into space and back. I'd rather invest my money into Solar Roadways, which benefits the world.
Typical Yank mistake, quoting Wright brothers and first powered flight..yeah whatever
Jealous you fucking limey ????
Propulsion systems like this are no longer practical or necessary. It requires developing materials that need to with stand extreme temperatures. The smart way is anti-gravitic which creates a vacuum and pulls the craft forward altering space/time, instead of the old method of being pushed from behind and the need for special resistance materials. With that said, there are already dark governments that have this technology through reversed engineering of downed ET crafts.
lol ^^ do you work in area 51?
arnaldo vargas My guess is you are smart man. Do the research. Of course laughter is the best medicine for everything. Best of Luck and Peace
laugh away a shall... vajraman no but for real i understand the guy but flaming that we got it from UFOs is a little extreme don't you think? like were's the evidence?
Another fine how do you do big waste money Stan yes Oli it sure is!
That dehavilland swallow is absolutely stunning. There's a lot of people throwing 'who did what' comments around but there is no denying, that is one beautiful plane!
Love the way that Twist guy talks so casual. You brits really are speed freaks! Good luck to your bloodhound team man! Hope we get it first but doubt we will. Your car looks great! God bless america.
