Lovely looking aircraft and seems quite capable. if you had produced this video with no music and instead with the sound of engine etc, you would done perfect. Still well done for your effort and I hope the project succeed.
Great Video!!, Loads of different video. Hope everyone can see they are real!! I hear they will be having 4 more flying by next summer!! That is awesome. Sound needs to be louder on this video though. This video sure has alot of information. That pusher prop version is just crazy!!
I've spent my entire career as a gas turbine troubleshooter and repair specialist . I want to hear the engine talk to me. 43 years and I still love hearing when the turbine takes over. forget music .
The Bee-Dee-Ten used a twin tail rudder. It looked like a tiny F-18. It ended in a crash, and took the life of Jim Bede, the designer. The BD-5 is still popular, but like any jet it is considered extremely dangerous. In 1994, thirteen were constructed and registered. Of these BD-5, eleven ended their existence in a crash. Of these, nine resulted in fatalities.
I applied for the air force when I finished high school and found out I was red / Green colour blind. Broke my heart that what I wanted to do from the time I was 6 years old was not possible. I have my civilian pilots licence now and if I had the money hell yes i would buy one.
Am I the only one who notices the pilots having to dip their head in order to see straight out front? It appears that the joint between the canopy and the windscreen is right in the light of sight of the pilot when they are sitting straight up and looking forward. Would annoy the living hell out of me if that were the case.
If i may, have a few questions: 1. Which a/c is being promoted as a Military Trainer ? Viper Jet Mk II or the Fan Jet. Or both. 2. Any provision for Ballistic Parachute and Hard Points ? 3. If a foreign Air Force is interested in the a/c, are you guys willing to build a number of examples in your facilities, a number of units in the facilities of the customer (a national air force), and issue a production license from unit number XX on ? Thanks, Peter Watson
It's certainly a pretty bird, and ~375 knots (according to wiki) is pretty fast for a homebuilt, but I wish it was faster. Being so clean a design, I'm surprised it isn't faster.
Jeff LaVelle Glasair III is faster than that(404kph on recent Reno), all those NXTs and Thunderer Mustangs are also speed monsters, RadialRocket, Lancairs and Glasairs aren't that mutch slower either...
Well I found a page that states the 375 MPH TAS is max cruise for the Mk II. The same page says the aircraft is capable of 525 MPH TAS @ 28,000. I wonder if it's the Vno or Vne. J-85 should provide sufficient thrust velocity for higher speeds.
516knts @ 15,000 running level at 98% thrust. If you do the math that is mach .808... Wasn't allowed to go as fast as it can because not allowed to go transonic.
I wish they come up with MrkIII with eliminating that obstruction in front of pilot at the canopy joint and the landing gear retracts and extends like f-16, which is typical, and resembled partly in piaggio avanti. but over-ally a spectacular idea.
I agree. Taste in music is a very individual thing. Aircraft sounds, however are what we want, and there is no variation. Either you like them or you don't.
This is a nice video showing the history and some of the videos I've seen for awhile. I've always been a fan of this and even tried to sneak a visit last time I was in Paso, but had to rush back to Yakima to take care of a sick grandmother. Now I have to go back to lay her to rest...I think I'll need a side trip to cheer me up. Anyway, does this have known ice defenses (electric, engine bleed). How heavy is the rudder ?
While a L29 or L39 might be cheaper they come with severe operating restrictions to which all jet warbirds are subjected. An amateur built kitplane is subjected to only slightly less restrictions than a factory built aircraft.
Was not even a Kit. It is a hand built carbon fiber .5-1 million dollar aircraft. They pretty much failed at the intended purpose even though they made a cool jet
@DogOnAShip I'm pretty in the same case, but I was stopped during the initial military course, in french navy (I'm french), though I had passed the tests...) I also have my civilian licence. I was extremely disappointed too, it was 15 years ago and I sometimes still think about it, sadly. don't worry, one day we both will fly this of aircraft, as a civilian instructor, why not. Life has sometimes good surprises. Aeronautic greetings from France.
Nice looking jet & I wonder what the range is. The thrust out of two engines is paltry compared to the 1960's F8 Crusaders I once worked on @ 35,000 Lbs! The F8 was so much fun to fire up in afterburner, when the nose of the plane would dip down & you swore to God the chain couldn't hold you from shooting off the deck & into the sea while on aircraft carriers. Oh that as the life!
I recognize the man at :45 as a former executive with the company I work for. Good to see you're still flying! Don't know if it's appropriate to say his name or not, so I won't. But this man flew the F-105s in Vietnam. Super nice guy.
Looks like the canopy joint is directly in line with the pilots forward view. How annoying would that be? You can see the pilot craning his head to see over or under it... ick
That is....an incredible looking aircraft. And a 2 seater jet to boot! Amazing!!
Its like owning a fighter jet
@@blu_e1910 id kill just to RIDE in one. I keep it as my dream goal to own one. Incredible looking!
@@The_Mimewar i can relate
This two seater is such a cool plane. I’d love to fly this thing.
I would love to hear the engine during this video (and maybe a little radio chatter) instead of that music. Why do people do that?
bluestudio67 I wanted to hear the engine too ... as soon as the music started I was WTF?!?
+SupaNami sometimes there is no audio or the audio is so bad or monotonous theres nothing else you can do
+CHOPPERGIRL AIRWAR From 2:44 to 3:24 sound is fine ... but I understand what you're saying
+bluestudio67 that's the sounds of the engine, just sounds like music to your ears because you like it so much
+bluestudio67 And why is it crappy, melancholy Numetal? Why wouldn't they at least pick something upbeat and fun sounding for a promotional video?
Forget that music. I WANT TO HEAR THAT ENGINE TURNING UP.
Aside from the canopy support right in front of your face, looks like a cool idea. Way too expensive to fly, but fun.
there is always the BD5j (or the newer one) or the Sub Sonex?
Cool Jet.... I know I've flown over that area several times.. Looks like the Boardman Tree Farm, and the Columbia Gorge.
Your history is a real inspire to me a lot. thank you for sharing this with us. Hopefully one day i could do so.
Can you guys post a video of a takeoff without music. I wanna here the sound of a GE CJ610 screaming.
the jet is extra nice but the audio is extra bad... lol
Why spoil a perfect video with music stopping us listening to the sound of a beautiful jet engine. Please re-upload without the music.....Please.
Lovely looking aircraft and seems quite capable. if you had produced this video with no music and instead with the sound of engine etc, you would done perfect. Still well done for your effort and I hope the project succeed.
I like to know where this project is today 2021 and if one can come to work with you guys! this is amazing 😊👍🏻
they went out of buisness in 2016 i think...
@@margelatul2001 hopfully someome will get it back to life
@@sjffhfjcntgj9411 yeah
😎 Congratulation! Vip Jet is incredible! Aircraft perfect! 👏🏿
what a beautiful creation!
This has been my dream for a very long time.
Congratulations. A dream came through. This is a good plane for flying schools all over the world. Check that market. Good luck 🤞
I LOVE IT... well done , a real hit!!! Thats the best thing in this world.
that is a beautiful looking plane, great job
Love the look of this jet.
You guys are pioneres :-)
Beautiful plane !
Sir thank you for making these awesome planes
Great Video!!, Loads of different video. Hope everyone can see they are real!! I hear they will be having 4 more flying by next summer!! That is awesome. Sound needs to be louder on this video though.
This video sure has alot of information. That pusher prop version is just crazy!!
The plane warming up sounds like my Rainbow when I stick my hand on the hose.
I admire! The most beautiful jet #
Wow! :-) I have an item to start a bucket list!!!
That, is a gorgeous aircraft. Way outside my pay grade, but a delight to watch from afar.
I've spent my entire career as a gas turbine troubleshooter and repair specialist . I want to hear the engine talk to me. 43 years and I still love hearing when the turbine takes over. forget music .
+1 upload with sound!
Mis respetos, es fantastico
almost reminds me of a t45 goshawk like the navy uses for carrier flight training
It looks a lot like the BAe Hawk. It also reminds me of the ATG Javelin.
I think that is really cool.
I think it would be great as a trainer for an air force or an acrobatic team.
Looks like a smaller version of the T-38 Talon.
great jet and good vid.In a 4 seater there would be a real market for this.
Aeronave de avionica sencilla que puede asegurar su aeronavegavilidad!
The beautiful dream.Enjoyable
cool video! !
if I ever get one of these, I'm painting it blue with the red cobra insignia on the tail from GI JOE.

I have my civilian pilots licence now and if I had the money hell yes i would buy one.
glad to see some people thinking like me for ounce. if I wanted a music video, I would have looked at one.
Sweet jet and I love the music, I was grooving out
So basically you figured out the first idea wasn't feasible after all and then you had to double or triple the price and operation cost. Cool 😎
What are you blabbering about? The first jet flew and operated fine. They just wanted to go faster so of course things had to change.
great music !
Super looking little jet
Am I the only one who notices the pilots having to dip their head in order to see straight out front? It appears that the joint between the canopy and the windscreen is right in the light of sight of the pilot when they are sitting straight up and looking forward. Would annoy the living hell out of me if that were the case.
Maybe they are tall. I wouldn't have that problem I'm only 5'8"
This guy was just too tall for that seat. Look where his head is in relation to the head rest.
beaconrider Yeah that's a small jet so no way is a tall guy gonna fit it properly.
light of sight.....hmmmm
Maybe this really is the jet for backseat drivers....
If i may, have a few questions:
1. Which a/c is being promoted as a Military Trainer ? Viper Jet Mk II or the Fan Jet. Or both.
2. Any provision for Ballistic Parachute and Hard Points ?
3. If a foreign Air Force is interested in the a/c, are you guys willing to build a number of examples in your facilities, a number of units in the facilities of the customer (a national air force), and issue a production license from unit number XX on ?

I don't mean to insinuate that anything could possible go wrong with one of these aircraft but I have to ask. do they come with ejection seats.
it sounds amazing I have worked on the one fhey show in this video n520vf awesome plane it made it from Caldwell idaho to reno Nevada in 35 minutes
can we dirige or fly with this plane with formation on BD-5J, c64 old Acrojet,
3-AJ-S-85 (Microprose).
Excelent! i'm liked one for me !
Interesting! Do they make these in Australia if I got my pilots license to fly one of these or do they only make them in America.
It's certainly a pretty bird, and ~375 knots (according to wiki) is pretty fast for a homebuilt, but I wish it was faster. Being so clean a design, I'm surprised it isn't faster.
Jeff LaVelle Glasair III is faster than that(404kph on recent Reno), all those NXTs and Thunderer Mustangs are also speed monsters, RadialRocket, Lancairs and Glasairs aren't that mutch slower either...

Try the BD-10 if you want speed. Or you can just make a miniature j-58 engine for this puppy.
Howie Bartlett
The BD-10 despite it's capabilities, had alot of structural issues. And a J-58 engine is really only good for high mach operation.
516knts @ 15,000 running level at 98% thrust. If you do the math that is mach .808... Wasn't allowed to go as fast as it can because not allowed to go transonic.
i was imagine form called snakejet before...do you have a seat ejection on ?
plot twist: the music is the engine sound
What I need to do to build my own ?
Just out of curiosity, what is the Max G load that the Viper Jet can handle?
yep that's for me - I want one of those too! haha not sure if my runway is big enought though.
Dear Santa...
I've been a good boy!
Father Thyme
Please please please please please can I have a ViperJet! :D
UMA JOIA!!
Ok, all we need now are kit-sidewinders and a kit-hud, for the back seat a kit-goose and some kit-f5-tiger-generic-enemys, and we are good to go!
I wish they come up with MrkIII with eliminating that obstruction in front of pilot at the canopy joint and the landing gear retracts and extends like f-16, which is typical, and resembled partly in piaggio avanti. but over-ally a spectacular idea.
I agree. Taste in music is a very individual thing. Aircraft sounds, however are what we want, and there is no variation. Either you like them or you don't.
Great inflight visability.
Ok thanks, so really all you need to fly this is a PPL and a couple of endorsements?
Is thre available in aluminium? Maybe silly question but have to ask. Thank you
I love this samll wonder......
8 minutes of my life I can never get back
Why did you watch it then?
AWESOMEEEE!! But my question remains the same of my colleagues below: How much it cost?
Its the new 2019 AMC "Pacer" with the classic bubble top and jet engine option
1,000th subscriber
Also, are the kits still being produced?
This is a nice video showing the history and some of the videos I've seen for awhile. I've always been a fan of this and even tried to sneak a visit last time I was in Paso, but had to rush back to Yakima to take care of a sick grandmother. Now I have to go back to lay her to rest...I think I'll need a side trip to cheer me up.
Anyway, does this have known ice defenses (electric, engine bleed). How heavy is the rudder ?
UA-cam should have an Option of turning the Music off, Howw hard Can it be to add that Feature?
How muc....
"If you have to ask, you can't afford it"
Short answer, they don't sell many very quickly.
While a L29 or L39 might be cheaper they come with severe operating restrictions
to which all jet warbirds are subjected. An amateur built kitplane is subjected to only slightly less restrictions than a factory built aircraft.
Great but how much does it take to run per hour. Thats always a big killer with jet aircraft
super !!! :-)
God damn it I wish I was rich
me to
I would love one of these
There's a subsonex jet that goes for 130k ish and uses a turbine engine at -300lbs of thrust.
Can it handle steep rates of ascent and decent,
I thought it was an aviation product. Nice concert for the adolescent
surprising i felt like a bird👏🥀
does it have ejection seat?
nice plane. But the music and editing wasnt at its best.
How much for the Kit?
dnhug It's over 500,000
Was not even a Kit. It is a hand built carbon fiber .5-1 million dollar aircraft. They pretty much failed at the intended purpose even though they made a cool jet
@DogOnAShip I'm pretty in the same case, but I was stopped during the initial military course, in french navy (I'm french), though I had passed the tests...) I also have my civilian licence.

What is the approximate cost of mark 2?
Why the music? Detracts.
why did the BD-10 seem so much cooler? it didnt even work right but still looked more fun...
Nice looking jet & I wonder what the range is. The thrust out of two engines is paltry compared to the 1960's F8 Crusaders I once worked on @ 35,000 Lbs!

what restrictions?
I want one!
Looks like the canopy joint is directly in line with the pilots forward view. How annoying would that be? You can see the pilot craning his head to see over or under it... ick
What speed
I like it
Is it actually available for buying?
How many viper jet has been built ?
What’s your stall speed
Great!
Where was the Viper Jet located when it did this?
