It sounds like the stuff of science fiction: A Boeing 747 with an internal hanger loaded with 10 specially designed fighter jets. An on board crew to launch, recover, refuel and rearm the jets while in mid-flight. Sleeping quarters and a crew lounge to ensure that a squadron of 14 fighter pilots and 18 mission specialists stay rested. All of it hurtling forward at Mach 0.85, 35 thousand feet above sea-level. That’s asking a lot from a Boeing 747 Jumbo Jet. But a once classified feasible study prepared for the U.S. Air Force details how it could be done.
An Airborne Aircraft Carrying Boeing 747 might have been an overly-ambitious, overly-complex and ham-handed idea from 1970s, but it wasn’t entirely out of left field. The U.S. Military had been experiment with the aerial aircraft carrier concepts for nearly half a century. In the early 1930s, two U.S. Navy airships, the USS Akron and the USS Macon carried up to 5 planes stored inside an internal hangar bay. These airborne aircraft carriers enhanced the Navy’s seaborne scouting ability, and the airships’ onboard planes could be deployed for further scouting or defensive purposes. But both USS Akron and Macon were destroyed in weather related accidents not even 3 years after their introductions, helping to put an end to any future airship-based aircraft carriers. But the experiments continued in the 1940s, this time spurred on by a need to protect long-range intercontinental bombers. A seemingly sensible solution to extending escort fighter range was to have long-range bombers carry escort fighters onboard which could be deployed and recovered when needed. But the promising concept proved far more difficult in reality, with aircraft recovery being a particularly dangerous endeavor. Multiple docking methods were attempted, but only one version using a trapeze mechanism and a full-sized fighter ever saw limited service. By the mid-1950s, aerial refueling had proven itself to be a far more practical and safe solution to extending aircraft range.
Yet, the Air Force reexamined the concept again in the early 1970s. This time, spurred on by perceived strategic vulnerabilities to conventional seaborne carriers and the new opportunities brought on the enormous Boeing 747 and Lockheed C-5. The feasibility study titled #747 #Boeing #FlyingAircraftCarrier

Too bad the Russians rolled out their 4th generation fighters (Mikoyan MiG-29) way ahead of its time. Fortunately we had our own versions and now lead the aviation industry with 5th generation fighters. With no one to compete over the air space, air dominance will remain so for the U.S. Air Force. Then again, these Americans are willing to make "micro fighters" and dump them to conscripts or allied countries who can't afford stealth fighters, falsely advertise as the 21st century version of the P-51 Mustang.
Behbeh fighter jets are so cute when they're little!
Pilots say "If it looks right, it'll fly right," and the Goblin flew as well as it looked ... which wasn't very good. It was difficult to fly, it only managed to safely dock with its mother ship three times, and once all that was out of the way they discovered it was 100 MPH slower than the fighters it was meant to intercept. And did I mention it had all the endurance of a leaky balloon?
How about we build an aircraft carrier carrier
AN-225 intensifies

Airborne or seaborne?
Andrés Falcone ICBM
You're talking about a mother ship..lol..
I think if we revisited this concept today, we might be able to get it to work. Folding wings, like on the Hornet. New alloys to cut weight. I think it could be done, but I don't know if the fighters would be a match for now 6th gen full size fighters. And we have planes that can drop precision guided munitions and then do their own air to air fighting.
One word: drones
This was 2 years ago but I think some drones could actually put up a fight against certain 6th gen fighter *coughs* Russia *cough* and even then I don’t think bandits would risked getting ripped apart by AAs and other jets
I think this could work with remote-controlled drones being controlled by people INSIDE the AAC. You launch a drone that has guns or missiles. It shoots bandit, and goes back. You can save a TON of space with something like this, and it would be super easy to train pilots.
@@senzanome7302since when does Russia have a 6th gen fighter. The 57 is a 5th gen fighter *only* if you listen to Russia. The 57 is really a 4+ gen considering it’s about as stealth as a B-52 and it carries ordinance that makes the tomcat look modern. Another thing, we have the capability to strike any target in the world in under 24 hours. We have FOBs, Aircraft Carriers, and Cruise Missiles capable of more destruction and superiority over an airspace than any drone carrying 747 could hope to carry.

maybe the AN225 class aircraft would be suitable for this project? since the Antonov 225 is very big and the only 6 engine driven plane,has a lot of space too that can fit an ok amount of fighters
If Russia owned it/them, they most likely would’ve constructed one. The fall of the Soviet Union left them essentially broke and could no longer support it, it was purchased back from Antonov, the aircrafts creator, and is solely used as heavy cargo transportation. But there are two(?) uncompleted 225s in storage, so if they really wanted to (if they even had the money and resources) it could be possible.

@@diaz6636 Think the concept is for combat drones, like a strike force or QRF. Current long range/high duration drones are big surveillance or nuke drones like the Global Hawk. Something like the Predator requires ALOT of lead time on missions and has a shorter range when armed. A C5 with several predator sized drones could carry several different kinds of weaponry/sensor packages the predator just can't manage on quick reaction missions. Also, consider the impact of AI tech on air to air combat, if a C5 could deploy even lets say 5 predator sized drones with sidewinder similar weapons platforms that is instant airspace control...then they can recover them, refuel/maintain them, and keep them on mission for as long as the aircrew can handle it.
Juan Trippe: 01:37
Military: I'm going to pretend I didn't see that.

+ushoys. That is how it always works... One torpedo, anti ship missile hitting the right spot, bomb or anti carrier long range tactical nuke and the result is the same IF its able to hit or the ship operate within range of said weapons. The latter being key to carrier movements in conflict zones.
@@Lobos222 which is why you would want two separate systems
Plus the pilots for the fighters and the carrier lost too with a single missile strike
Well i imagine a plane like this would always have fuelers and other, awacs etc around it. Just like a carrier group.

@@malcolmdrake6137 i sense a 3rd world country
He's a uncultured swine
This idea is right up there with the supersonic bomber. Even on Navy carriers the elevators and launch systems experience failures all of the time. Imagine the tiny fighter pilot asking to be brought aboard only to be told that the recovery system is down and he is low on fuel. Or a damaged tiny fighter trying to be recovered that will not fit the profile of the system. Drones are a much saner way to accomplish this mission and can be designed to fit the carrier aircraft without the concerns of a human pilot.
Hi Mustard, I recommend looking into the Boeing 747 Cruise Missile Carrier Aircraft (CMCA). It's an unrealized concept where a Boeing 747-200F's main deck is fitted with revolver-style ammunition cylinders that move along built-in cargo-handling rails. The cylinders take turns positioning themselves near the side cargo door to launch their payloads. Refer to US Patents 4208949 and 4475436. Lockheed had its own thing going with US Patent 4040334. While this may not be worth an entire video, I think you and your team might be interested in looking into the subject matter.
The new drones fit the bill immediately. It's viable.
Imagine what a c5 loaded with drones could do.
Yeah! Thousands of little suicide drones! With facial recognition!! It would be like dropping a bomb with friendly fire turned off!!
Amazing! I hope no one finds out about the war crimes that would cause!
@@tammiestait5465 what war crimes? Its the same thing as a guided missile. They can actually see the face of the person they are attacking with those missiles. The only difference is that collateral damage would be minimized. Guided bombs are the same as drones, except they can only fall. Missiles have a limited flight time. A drone would have the ability to stay on station for hours, it would be more target specific and thus less risk to others nearby. It could have guns mounted so that it could hit specific targets with minimum loss of life.

@@aniruddhrao3489 exactly. Multiple nukes at once
This is basically the concept of Project Pluto, the single most terrifying weapon devised be mortal minds (that includes Zyclon-B and Agent Orange).
It would have been a supersonic, RATO-launch, nuclear scramjet powered multi-payload ICBM.
-
It would launch from ground via RATO boosters, or air launch via a specially-modified B-52, travel at Mach-2+ until it reached its drop zone, within which it would launch its multiple megaton-yield submunitions (twelve, I believe).
Once it expended its payload, it would deactivate overheat/overspeed safeties and travel on-the-deck at Mach-3.5+ over populated areas while leaking radiation, it’s supersonic wake destroying buildings and ripping up roads.
After it could no longer function above acceptable levels, it would ditch reactor shielding and crash into the target nation/force’s capital (at the time, The Kremlin), making the area uninhabitable for years.
-
The thing about nuclear powered aircraft is, barring systems failure, they have virtually unlimited range and flight-time. Once launched, this missile, called the Supersonic Low-Altitude Missile, or S.L.A.M. (best name for an apocalypse machine ever, by the way) could strike anywhere, at any time, and considering it would be below radar detection altitude for at least 70% of its operational lifespan, you would never see it coming.

First flight occurred on February 9, 1969, followed by an extensive test program.

The 747 quickly became a mainstay of the world's international airlines.

Tbh I was having a bad day but that line “A great weapon for peace” had me laugh my ass out lol😂
Why has this not already been done? This is a badass concept.
Was kind of explained in the video.
It is done actually
Enemy: “Oh don’t worry it’s just 5 planes that aren’t even armed”
The planes: “*take out 25 fighter jets*”
Enemy: “Ooohhhhh shiiiiii-“
Haha would it be 50 planes? (Each plane carrys 10)
Private: "Sarge there are 5 planes inbound"
*5 min later*
Private: "Wait its 50" (Shocked anime face)
and if a air to ground missile takes out one. thats 6 planes down. ;)
OFFLINE
The planes : *Train go boom*
I refitted the idea and I have an idea for a truly conventional 747 AAC.
I wanna see that Avengers flying carrier someday.
Well I think your chance of seeing it in the future goes down because of your age bro
The chance of seeing it in the future also goes down once you realize how inefficient something with giant vertical rotor blades is, at such a damn high altitude.
@M 40 we did have submersible carriers.
It's Japanese, but I forgot the name.
@M 40 You can bring a flying carrier literally anywhere, but sub carriers can only go where regular ones can
@M 40 The Japanese designed and actually built a couple sub-carriers during World War II, two of the ones actually built I believe were named I-13 and I-14. The ideas was interesting, but they could only carry two special fighters each carrying very limited weapons and payload, and even if successfully launched from the Sub landing back on it would not be possible, unless you strape some floatation device below the wings for them to land on water but that would significantly hinder their combat capability. Historically, I think the two subs were only ever used to transport aircrafts, one of which was sunk by an American Carrier.
The 747 brings back fond memories of traveling in pre 00s!
Being a Russian and seeing a random passenger plane give birth in air would be downright bamboozling
An aircraft carrier carrier carrying an aerial aircraft carrier.
And another terrestrial aircraft carrier carrying the port in which the aircraft carrier is carrying the aerial aircraft carrier.
An aircraft carrier carrying an aerial aircraft carrier carrying an plane aircraft carrier.
Heck yea
Wtf
YOU FUCKING GENIUS
I'm still surprised you still have 300k subs, you deserve alot more than that!
He'll get there. I think a more descriptive name might help. "Mustard" makes me think of food and chemical warfare
@@blurglide It can easily be iconic and ironic enough it's original. I just believe he needs more manpower because he needs to post more. But I'm sure he doesn't want to lose any quality because that's what makes this channel so special.
@@blurglide Donut Media makes car videos so i don't think the name is the issue. It's just a sort of niche thing, also he drops videos rarely because he's got to put all the work in himself assuming he writes, narrates and does the graphics.

love how he added the callsigns at the end.
I love this baby carrier! I have used many wraps in the past and decided to purchase a baby carrier with better support. It’s extremely comfortable and has great support while I go on walks. My favorite part of it is being able to put it on within seconds while wraps take a little longer. My newborn loves this carrier! She always falls asleep and seems very comfortable. I highly recommend this carrier!
What
Something: *exists*
US Air Force: Yo what are the military applications for it?
Boeing: What? It wasn’t designed for military applications
US Air Force: Well tough shit we’re buying some to use it for military applications
The cold war was truly an amazing time for getting things funded on the flimsiest of millitary reasons.
Boeing in the 80s: Okay, you guys done using the 747 as a weapons testbed?
USAF: *snorts coke*
FRICKIN' LASER BEAMS
@@twotailedavenger I legit thought you meant snorting coke as in blowing off coca cola through your nose
@@shanedoesyoutube8001 lmao
The Boeing E-4 says hi.
Imagine seeing a plane multiply in midair
That would be terrifying
Lol it would look like a spider giving birth
Prego plane
(boss music plays)
With engines that can speed up to mach 1 miniaturized to the weight ratio parameters of the minicrafts' design, it can still happen. Upon deployment it folds out from the air carriers with the pilots still in the carrier, that has an on board mini sea wiz as a secondary defense.
I wish this was finalized, it's such an amazingly complex idea
Too bad this idea was a Juan way Trippe
😂
Boo
🤣👏👏👏👏👏
lmao
waddaya' mean?
I WAIT DAYS FOR YOUR VIDEOS....AND ITS WORTH IT.....
@@astro_che lmao
Have you checked out Mark Felton Productions as well? Well worth a look.
The opening shots are gorgeous. How did you create this amazing graphic style?
So I guess the giant air fortress boss in the original Ace Combat wasn’t so out of scope after all! I freaking loved that game growing up!
Why not buy the rights from Disney to build Helicarriers and Imperial Star Destroyers?

then we can talk

Antonov 225: Hold my cargo
The Tea Lord did research, he is an example for other commenters. Also it is Antonov.
Yee you sure, i’ll go check
Yee yep you”re right
Oh god imagine the Russians having something like this and it goes to war with the American edition

Man, those mini fighters look dope as hell
I love the Top Gun pilots shown at 8:55. Of course several of them were reels so they wouldn't have they own planes. But it's still awesome.
