Absolutely beautiful aircraft. One of my top-3 favorites. I knew a gentleman who flew that aircraft; in fact, he made the last B-58 flight, taking the last one in service to the boneyard. When he’d start talking about that aircraft, you could immediately see the adrenaline getting into his system. He had some amazing flight stories, even though he never flew any “combat-type” missions. My takeaway is that it was basically a rocket with wings, and a seat for the pilot. It still holds several speed records to this day.
This is such a quality CONTENT! yes, THIS is content. Congrats on your amazing work, i'm passionate everytime i speak about this channel 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎 greets from 🇦🇷
I’ve watched every video you made about these amazing planes and what I’ve noticed was convair were the most ingenious in their designs and it’s crazy we always hear Lockheed Martin Northrop but no one ever talks about the amazing convair. They were some truly great engineers even in their failed designs they were still so original
Hello Foundandexplained, thank you for your awesome documentaries. You explain everything very well. Since you started with the B-58, I was wondering if you could provide a documentary about the never-built Convair 60 and Convair 61 passenger planes? I happened to come across some info, but I became curious as to why they were never built. Was the competition with Boeing and Douglas too strong? Was there no market? Was the failure of the 880 and 990 the reason why Convair ditched these ideas? I look forward to hearing from you soon. Keep up the great work!!!
In my 35 years of airline career. I was fortunate to fly with an ex B-58 aircraft commander. Additionally, he was one of the few survivors of a B-58 low altitude engine failure during takeoff. He told me that the roll component upon outboard engine failure when it occurred would over power the rudder. The individual crew pods fired sequentially, upon USAF review, he ejected at 87% to vertical, the radar officer’s capsule ejected at 91 degrees, and survived, but the third crew member, the tail gunner’s pod, was ejected beyond 90%. The actual ejection angle remains redacted.
as an airplane mechanic seeing these blueprints is actually really really cool considering how complex things are now as to how simple they were back then especially the APUs
Makes me wonder how many bears went back to the wild with a story no other bears would believe... "you'll never guess what happened to me...", "stop with the bull, you're scaring the cubs"..
Hi! Autistic person here, I do not know how to explain the joy that I got when you brought up the B-58. I smiled and felt like my internal organs were tweaking, I fucking LOVE the B-58 ...
The B58's GE J79 turbojet became very popular with the land speed record gang in the 1960s, both Craig Breedlove's Spirit Of America Sonic 1 and Art Alfons' Green Monster utilised this engine to capture the Land Speed Record
'Little Boy', the bomb dropped on Hiroshima, wasn't an 'implosion" bomb, it was a 'gun assembly' bomb (using Uranium 235). 'Fat Man', dropped on Nagasaki, WAS an implosion type, using Plutonium 239.
The B-58 first flew the year I was born. Still looks sleek and beautiful after all these years. It gets a bad rap because the delta wing was challenging to fly at low speeds, taxing the abilities of under-qualified pilots.
If you type in gear retraction on B58 on u tube you will see some live shot's of the gear retraction it actually folds in have it's a pretty cool thing to see when you see the film
@18:30 Hehe I'm such a child, he said "beating off the Boeing B47 Stratojets and B52s". This was hilarious, I think beating out would have been a better choice of words. Nonetheless, this is an amazing documentary. Great work!!!
That's just American. " Beating off" as in fighting off or fending off is used fairly commonly in speech here (Oz) like "I had to beat off the flies to get in the door" or " If you walk near that tree you'll have to beat off the Magpie to get past" during Magpie-attack season...and don't bother about a "better choice of words". It's very clear when it's meant in the other sense so we don't worry about it.
The Convair XFY-1 Pogo was, with its jet offspring, covered at the time in the comic strip Buz Sawyer. Its development and subsequent fate were followed in detail.
IMHO, I believe that between aluminum air batteries & solid state heat engines providing electricity planes like these could be reimagined. I'm not sure how they would get the speed needed, but the VTOL concept lends itself electric power especially when considering the power density is higher for both aluminum air batteries & solid state heat engines than that of kerosene! I think aluminum batteries are much more mature of a technology than the heat engine concept.
I think Rivian will use the smaller Volkswagen MEB platform for their new smaller vehicles. I think VW group will use the larger R1T platform for premium vehicles like the Audi Q7, Porche Cayenne, Bentley Bentayga. A perfect partnership.
Germany was not only close to a vtol aircraft, Germany actually had the Dornier Do 31 VTOL Transport Aircraft... but nobody wanted it so it was abandoned
@@Brocki1704he is some kind of anti-wehraboo and claims that pretty much in every other second comment lol. The Dornier prototype is in the german museum in Munich btw.
Counter rotating props beneath you? Mad absolutely mad! That is under testing/ normal circumstances. In combat of any description - absolutely insane! 12 yrs as infantry officer at war - we really needed mobility. how could this ever get to prototype stage?
As was said in other videos about this aircraft, if you are a little boy in this era, you probably wanted a model of this plane or thought this was the baddest plane ever made because it just looked fast while sitting still!
Ok, the B-58 made me think "they started with batshit crazy designs and continued as long until nukes were small enough". 😂 I mean holy crap... Double parasite design, dropping your engines...
1:48 - nice CGI but sorry the B-58 never carried missiles just regular gravity nuclear bombs. Looks like someone mistook the underwing B-43 bombs for missiles.
Thank you, I came here to say this as well. The B-43 was a gravity bomb only, but could be selected as free-fall, retarded (parachute delivery), air burst, ground burst, or delayed laydown. This was a type of delivery where the bomb was dropped at extremely low altitude at high speed. The bomb essentially skidded to a stop on the ground and detonated after enough time to allow the drop aircraft to escape
As far as I know, from photos of the time, barnstormers in ex-WW1 biplanes demonstrated air2air refuelling. If they were able to catch a hose pressed down by the tanker they could pull it towards the top of their upper fuel tank. It would be even easier in a pusher so they couldn't demonstrate skill.
The Convair B-58 was billed as "the plane that cost its weight in gold". At gold prices in 1960 it was really more like half the weight in gold at $12.5 million per plane. A B-52 cost $9 million and a B-47 cost $3 million.
I think Noir 2 is a clone of Noir 1 It's why he wants to be just like Noir 1 He's trying to find himself. But The Deep told him some lies about the original , (like "Murder Boners") so he's accidentally turning himself into a Psychopath. Sage didnt plan on any of this happening , it all blew up in her face. So she waited until the dust settled and then came up with a new plan and is now acting like this is what she wanted all along. Compound V is alien technology that the Nazi's stumbled across and the thing in Butcher is the alien life form itself. Annie has her powers back and more powerful than ever because she just went through a very therapeutic process of beating the Hell out of herself/doppelganger.(She had issues) The outgoing President set up a failsafe program involving V-24 just in case. If Butcher could hold his own for a few minutes against Homelander on V-24, a battalion of Marines would mop the floor with him.
---Not an expert. Personal view here. 1:10:00 The problem jet age engineers conveniently ignored is that a jet plane on a runway OR in the ocean is subject to FOD; especially ingesting objects that cause engine failure or damage to the landing gear. An airfield can be visually examined/inspected and carefully swept by a perceptive team specialized in the task. That's impossible on the sea, unless you're a friend of Aquaman's. The Sea Dart was doomed from inception. Re: Seaplanes. Seaplanes were only useful when land planes had insufficient range to fly safely between far flung airports. Once land planes had enough range, seaplanes as a concept in transportation died out. There are still some brands out there, but short range, small capacity floatplanes are far more common. It's even worse for fighter planes, which have less clearance on take-off and landing. There's no reason for a jet powered ski plane, other than technological hubris (characterized as "the can-do attitude"). Ingest any object and the plane is dead in the water. And the very surface used for takeoff and landing is mutable, and subject to ingestion. Any malfunction of the ski and the plane goes to the bottom . . . that makes it insane as a military standard.
Yes you heard that correctly lol. I can only imagine the story from one of the handlers or someone who witnessed it. I can only imagine trying to get a bear into a test pod🤣😂🤣😂🤣
I would bet that watching an SR-71 Blackbird launch from a carrier the first time, just might be one of the most anxiety filled moments in military history.
There's a mistake: the French technology demonstrator fighter was the Mirage 3V (that's the way it was called, the only "Mirage 8" was the G8, a variable sweep twin-engined prototype that was curtailed by the 1973 OPEC crisis as result of the Yom Kippur War.
