A couple of inaccuracies: 1.) Blimps are not zeppelins. Zeppelins had a rigid structure. Blimps got almost all their shape from lifting gas and air pressure. 2.) The 1903 Wright Flyer never flew more than 200 ft before crashing. This was because it was terribly pitch unstable. The 1906 model was really the world's first real airplane, as it could return to where it took off from.
The fourth 1903 flight actually went for 852 feet and 59 seconds, but you are correct in that it was unstable. Their third plane, the 1905 flyer was substantially better, establishing a flight of 39 minutes / 24 miles.
Being unstable is not necessarily a problem. Consider how easy it is to put the tip of a yardstick, and then balance it in the palm of your hand. Absolutely unstable, yet very easy to do. The Wright brothers practiced for years to develop skill in piloting their unstable gliders. So putting an engine with props was a very easy step for them to master. So... The 1903 Flyer was most definitely the World's First Successful Airplane. It would be correct to assert that it was not, however, a practical design. They accomplished practicality a few years later back at Huffman Prarie. And then on Aug 8, 1908, showed the world how they were the ones who solved all of the problems that prevented everyone else from succeeding. There were a handful of inventors who did achieve success in certain aspects in isolation. But the Wright brothers were extremely methodical and persistent, and they were the ones who put all of the elements together for the very first time. ...and they achieved this on Dec 17th, 1903. Of all the necessary various elements, there was one singular aspect in which they were first, with no one coming close: Control. Most especially, roll control. Now here, special acknowledgment is due to Glenn Curtiss. He too arrived at a solution for achieving roll control. His elegant invention of ailerons is what quickly became the standard, used on nearly every single airplane flying today. While no one uses the Wright brothers' approach. Prior to Curtiss, and prior to the Wright brothers, the common method for those who attempted roll control was shifting the pilot's weight. This was extremely crude, and utterly unscalable. So credit for the practical airplane belongs fully to the Wright brothers, followed by Glenn Curtiss.
Oh wow! That's my brother's plane at approx minute 3:05. And him flying it. He has owned a dozen or so aircraft over the years, but the little unassuming Cub had so far been the most pleasing of the bunch.
Jeeze, where do I start? How about this--you need a fact-checker. Like, to make sure that the video is that of the actual airplane. That the narration is correct. That the narration matches the video.
Talks about zeppelins but shows blimps , rutans Voyager what's not the first to fly around the world nonstop it was the first to fly around the world nonstop unrefueled , B 20 nines for pressurized in order to fly at high altitudes and that's what helped to increase its range ,
But The Hindenburg was Hydrogen filled. They usually have helium bags. Hydrogen may be lighter, but it's highly explosive. Germany was banned to have helium after World war one.
@@johnbockelie3899 I was not going to reply, as your comment has no relevance to my initial comment. There are statements which need to be addressed however. In the period between the two world wars, rigid lighter than air, airships, hydrogen was the standard. Not helium. Helium was a by-product of the oil fields in the U.S. and it was not exported to any other nation at the time. It was considered a 'national resource'. Hence why Britain's R-101 (R-100? I'm working off memory here.) burst in flames when crashing in France. Germany was banned from building Zeppelins after WW I. It had nothing to do with helium, as helium was an exclusive product of the U.S. Zeppelin, the company, survived the initial banning of their product by working for other countries. (U.S. included.) By WW II, we (the U.S.) were using blimps rather than rigid LTA airships. We still had exclusive use of the helium. It was sometime after WW II that helium started to be exported.
Blimps are basicly controlled balloons, but Zeppelins are rigid airships. The B-29 made several stops flying around the world, but Burt Rutan's Voyager flew nonstop around the world.
US Air Force was created in 1947 from the US Army Air Forces in 1941 which was in tern created from the US Army Air Corps created in 1926. There are several antecedents before that too.
Charles Lindbergh was something like the 27th person to fly across the Atlantic.But he was the first person to do it solo and in one flight. A number of aircraft had flown via the Azores from Britain, via Iceland, Greenland, and then into Canada. John Alcock and Arthur Brown were the first to fly across in one leg, in an open cockpit Vickers Vimy, in 1919, from Newfoundland to Ireland, proving that direct flights across that ocean were possible, 12 years before Lindbergh's flight.
On slightly more positive note the airplane that you mentioned that was built in 1909 is still kept in flightworthy condition to this very day and it nearly the oldest if not the oldest flightworthy airplane in existence today!!!
Disappointing. No mention of the Me163, De Havilland Mosquito, De Havilland DHC-2 Beaver, De Havilland Comet, Gossamer Condor/Albatross or Me262. Also, Alcock and Brown crossed the Atlantic in 1919; Lindburgh was a late starter.
What happened to the B-52? It's one of the most Iconic planes built by Boeing Acft. It's the oldest bomber still in use today and has proven to be very versatile in it's use. Cannot believe that it was skipped over!!
Hang on! Both Dick Routan and the B29 can’t each be the first to fly round the World non-stop. You might mention that Rutan’s flight was un-refuelled. Likewise, Zeppelin was an airship manufacturer. Not all airships were Zeppelins in much the same way as, despite what some would like to believe, all aircraft are not necessarily Boeings.
Yep, the Zeppelins all exploded and the airships kept on flying. Account managers turned down the very obvious helium option. Too expensive and it carries less weight than hydrogen. Exit airship. Airships never turned into the wonderful thing it could have been. A bit more expensive. A lot safer. What the F went wrong, here?
Zeppelin LZ1 first flew in 1900, the last year of the 19th Cent (or first of the 20th depending on your persuasion). Then good oil’ Lindbergh C - 82nd person to cross the Atlantic by air.
That yellow trainer plane used to fly above enemy camps and call in artillery barrages, they were actually used this way frequently in combat conditions.
He flew it alone. With no auto-pilot, he flew the plane for 36hrs, non-stop. Alcock & Brown get deserved credit for being the first. The others before Lindbergh were just duplicating what they did.
The Rutan Voyager only began life with Lycoming O-235's. These engines were soon replaced by, and flown around the the world with a Continental O-240 as the front engine in a traditional tractor configuration, and Continental IOL-200 as the rear engine in a pusher configuration.
It can be seen in the video that the propellers look like constant-speed propellers, and it would be expected that these would be preferred to ensure fuel economy and range would be maximised.
One more nitpicky thing....the pressurization of the B-29 wasn't what allowed to fly long distances. The pressurization allowed it to fly for a long time at high altitude where there's way less drag....plus, it eliminated the necessity for the crew to stay on oxygen for flight segments over 10,000-12,000 feet. Oh....and becuase it was pressurized, it was a LOT warmer in the aircraft....no frostbite.
Bleriot - Anzani: engine routinely overheated to point of seuzure. ONLY REASON it maintained power for 36 min, was Bleriot flew through light rain storm part way across, lowering temperature rise to extent that subsequent temperature rise to failure point was not reached before landing.
You have confused Zeppelins which are RIGID lighter than air craft, with BLIMPS, which are NON-RIGID lighter than air craft. Zeppelins have an internal framework covered by an outer fabric skin, and the lifting gas is contained within large gas bags within that framework. The gas does NOT inflate the outer skin. A blimp is essentially a balloon with steering fins and motors and the whole skin is inflated by the gas within it. They are two very different things. If you wish to talk about the class as a whole you should refer to them as "navigable lighter than air craft," or "airships."
I met Frank Whittle once, along time ago. And what about concorde, and the vulcan bomber ? Also the first reports of breaking the sound barrier were during ww2 by spitfire pilots, although they didn't know it :-)
Wait......No B-17 No P-38 No F4U No P-47 No Lancaster No Spitfire No B-36. Imo anyone of these would be more iconic and should be on a top ten list. Two of the BEST and well know allied Bombers. The LARGEST Bomber ever produced Six Turnin Four Burin. The Forked tailed devil one of IF not the most iconic designs of all the WWII fighters. Whistling Death or the Bent Winged Bastard....ANOTHER recognizable iconic arguably the most iconic designs of WWII. Thunderbolt or The Jug nick named Jug not because its a Juggernaut BUT because the Fuselage resembles a Milk Jug. Gabby Gabreski the P-47 Ace of WW2 and Korea. The Jug had the most kills of any WWII fighter. The Seversky Wing the Famous film Thunderbolt its A FLYING TANK lol. The Lancaster......Four Merlins Dam Buster Night Bomber Again a Very iconic Design that is Unmistakable...The Number One one the list should be a Spitfire!!! One of if NOT the very BEST and most Elegant Fighters and Aircraft to EVER to fly the Blue Sky.

Why are there no UK planes shown, such as the various heavy bombers, Lancaster, and the Mosquito? This is such a mistake, as the Mossie was the fastest planes built. Not fair, too one-sided!
Red Square C172 - no he didn't! It is not possible to land inside the square - no obstacle - clear approach is possible. He landed OUTSIDE on a sloping open paved area on THE OTHER SIDE of St Basils which features in background. Not difficult to execute - clear easy, over-river approach and decelerating up - slope on landing. Well executed....skill ? good luck ? A combination of both ? ✈
The Me109 used for the speed record was not a production 109 but a special plane made and called the Me109Z. It was tweaked in many ways that it wasn't a true 109 but the Nazi regime it was a propaganda ploy to make the 109 look really good.
This video needed to be edited by someone who knows at least a little about airplanes and their history. It is riddled with somewhat true facts. For example, the X-1 was not dropped from the bomb bay of a B29, it was slung under the bomber. This is just one example. And a Zeppelin and a blimp are two different things and evidently a bf109 can turn itself into Spitfire and then into a P-51 and then back again according to the video footage. What airplane was actually the first to circumnavigate the globe? This video has me confused about that. Basically, some parts contradict other parts. As they say, the devil is in the details.
I believe your speed record for the ME-109 is false. The record breaking aircraft was not an ME-109....but the propagandists had the name changed to ME-109R...suggesting all ME-109s were such speed demons...when the main line fighters were out performed by the P-51, P-47, FW-190, and a few others. Need to do a little more research on your videos
@@jonathanbaincosmologyvideo3868 Radial engines have pistons. Perhaps your confusion lies with rotary engines which despite also starting with an "R", do not have pistons.
I want to watch your videos... I just find it difficult to do when the first thing, about one of the most historic aircraft in the world, is misspelled. The credibility of the rest of the video comes under significant scrutiny and really sucks the fun of watching it out- for me. I do not expect you to respond to this message. I know you are just trying to earn money through re-publishing these vintage movies. I just wish you would present the information in a credible manner.

De Havilland DHC-2 Beaver should make the list. Quintessential bush pilot plane and perhaps the most reliable aircraft ever built.
That and the Otter.
St. Louise ??? I thought it was St.Louis.
P 51 was the sports car of fighter planes. The P 51- B was often mistaken for Me 109 s because of its square cockpit and tail.

Instantly goes wrong with the ‘Spirit Of St. Louise’ …. What a joke of a channel.
I want to watch your videos... I just find it difficult to do when the first thing, about one of the most historic aircraft in the world, is misspelled. The credibility of the rest of the video comes under significant scrutiny and really sucks the fun of watching it out- for me. I do not expect you to respond to this message. I know you are just trying to earn money through re-publishing these vintage movies. I just wish you would present the information in a credible manner.
