I've flown in a Ju 52 as a passenger. One of the most exciting things I've done... Talking to one of the pilots in flight he said flying it was like driving on ice with bald tyres.... Bril....
@the Game, Review and Reallife Channel how tf do you even have a channel?? bruh stfu it's an expression from the pilot and you're obviously not catching the clue.
I have a fan in my room and it got kinda broken and wouldn't start spinning. So, i removed the propeller protector and manually spun it like a WWI plane. It worked exactly like a plane engine, slowly revving up and then working properly. As an aircraft enthusiast i actually don't mind lol
Some electic motors after getting dust in them because they are DC they can't turn themselves without the beginning boost they give themselves but if there is too much dust it can make it not enough so even tipping the fan upside down causing the blade to move a inch can start it and after that it might just start up nom again without needing the push
One interesting fact about the Spitfire's design: Why Reginald Mitchell (R. J. Mitchell) was so insistent on the appearance was due to his cancer diagnosis. He died in 1937, three years before the Battle of Britain. He knew he would never get the chance to design, or build, another fighter, so he wanted it as perfect as could be for the early models.
Amazing to see these aircraft still flying, when one considers the expected life duration was measured in hours. Every screw, panel, instrument, item was drawn by someone's hand on paper, then transferred into processes for fabrication. Every item was forged, cut, shaped, stamped, stitched by machinery operated by hands. Every component was installed by hands. All paint applied by hand. Amazing even for standards today.
One of the early engines considered by Rolls Royce in the years just prior to WWII was, indeed, an inverted VEE design. I don't believe it got further than a wooden mock-up. This sort of engine lowered the forward cowling (somewhat better visibility) and seemed to allow for easier armament installation in the nose although any advantage there must have been offset somewhat by the weight and complexity of the interrupter mechanism. Still, German, Japanese and Russian designs favoured the nose and engine mounted armament. Didn't really catch on in American or British single engined fighters save for the P-35, P-36, early P-40s and the Airacobra... but those Airacobra guns were installed in a nose without an engine to mess up the installation (engine was BEHIND the pilot). Was the Bf 109 "arguably" the best fighter in 1940? Depends on your criteria. Obviously it failed, even flown by some damned good pilots, otherwise history would be VERY different. It was met by equally damned good pilots (many, like the Poles, Czechs, Dutch, Belgians, French etc. who had already tangled with the Germans) flying aircraft that were quite capable of RUINING a German pilot's day.
These huge and powerful airplane motors always fascinate me. On the surface you wouldn’t assume you’d need 2000 hp to spin a propeller through the air to make an airplane move, and you wouldn’t, until the speeds got well into triple digits and wind resistance really started fighting back.
I love the JU-52. It's the German version of the Ford Tri-Motor. Not just because it's a 3-banger. But because it's got that same corrugated skin. Not silky smooth skin like later airplanes got. But *corrugated* lined aluminum skin. Thing looks like a tin roof cut into strips and slapped upon the airframe. Reeeeally gives it a super vintage, old world charm to it.
@@gaberobinson8210 Remember, it was British engineering that made the Spitfire, Hurricane, Mosquito, Beaufighter (yes! Merlins powered a few!!) and Lancaster into war-winning aircraft. German engineering isn't bad - their greatest indictment being in helping Germany come in 2nd - behind the Allies - in WWII.
To put it simply, the Fw-190 is better in the long runs because its cheaper than Bf-109, easier to maintain, have _about_ the same performance with the Bf-109 being a bit more superior in that matter, interestingly, the Fw-190 actually have lower total drag than a Spitfire
@@Eddiee757 I'd argue that point. Better than the MK1s, maybe. More stable gun platform and they could take a hiding, but it was an obsolete design. It had no potential for development, unlike the spitfire, so they took the spit forward. It was less agile than the spit and slower. So "better" is probably not the best word. "More approachable" to the new pilots would probably be the best way to put it. Don't get me wrong, I adore the Hurricane. I think it's a meaner and more purposeful looking aircraft than the Spitfire, but it wasn't the better aircraft
The Spitfire 1A had a top speed of 363mph, the 109's top speed was 357mph. The spitfire could dive as fast if not faster. The 109 had fuel injection that enabled the pilot to just push the stick forward where as the carburetor Spitfire pilot had to invert to dive at that speed although they soon caught up. The 109 had a reputation of pulling the wings off pulling out of the dive where as the Spitfire was capable of more G force than any pilot could take. Also the Spitfire could also turn in side of the 109. The spitfire also had far superior all round vision from the cockpit. There was a race set up with a Spitfire, a captured BF109 & a FW190 by some wag in the air ministry with the idea of entering a tired 1A Spitfire however Supermarine switched it with the then current Spitfire V. All aircraft lined up & passing a line open throttles to see who passed the finishing line first. First was the Spitfire followed by the FW190 then the BF109. To say which is the best fighter is objective. The facts speak for themselves and it is fashionable to knock anything British at the minute. The German pilots have experience fighting in the Spanish civil war however the fact remains that the British/Allied pilots shot down 3 times the amount of axis aircraft in the Battle of Britain. Also the Spitfire went on to be developed further too.
British pilots shooting down a lot of German bombers doesn't make it superior over the BF109 Your arguments seem to be heavily biased. The BF109 was very successful in fighting the spitfire during the battle of Britain. What made the British win the Bob was 1.) huge supply of high octane fuel and therefore easier improvements of engine performance over the years + lighter engines 2.) enormous industrial capacities and lend lease 3.) defenders advantage (bailed pilots without injuries could immediately fly the next day in a new plane) 4.) huge pool of fighter pilots The difference in effectiveness between the BF109 and the spitfire were neglectable during the BoB. They had to be operated very differently and both had their strengths and weaknesses.
If you read anything about what Robert Stanford Tuck had to say, the British engineers got right on the the early carb problems with the marlins and developed a float less carb that startled the hell out of the luftwaffe pilots in their injected bf109s. Then the dives were useless as a defense
It's so interesting to me cause it feels like I've seen them all before like so much I do indeed feel like I was someone reincarnated from a person that went through the worst parts of ww2 some nights I would wake up out of a dream not remembering anything but feeling like my body had just gone through total war
A6M had no worthy competitor over pacific up till 1942 which resulted imperial navy to falsely think they wont need to develop better aircraft any time soon.
Can't choose!! A Spitfire XVIE, Hawker Tempest Mk.V or Typhoon IB (Bubbletop), a Mosquito FB Mk.VI, Swordfish Mk.II, Gladiator.......... IMHO all are gems in their own right!!
It was the 2 seaters are reworked versions to give non pilots the chance to fly in a spitfire ... there is one that flies regularly from Sywell aerodrome in Northamptonshire I’ve been lucky enough to see it many times 👍

You can startup electric motor like that?

He copied Heinkels elliptical wing tip.
The smell of that exhaust smoke at 1st start up of these Ol'Beast must smell Fantastic !! 👍🏻👍🏻😎
What a sight n sound to behold indeed. 💙
Anything antique not sitting in museum both are cool running flying as intended
Saw the P-51 start-up and thought, "Well this video looks familiar." Then I read the upper left corner lol
Damn that’s pretty crazy!

@Apostolos Ginnakidis am I having a Stroke?
@@isaacsrandomvideos667 As a native speaker i can only attest to that statement.
Me tu
The P-51 and Spit sound better to me. They have more of an old sports car/muscle car feeling.
Same here!
The Mustang called Toulouse nuts... Just brilliant! XD
I love it to see old planes like the p 51
Hearing the sound of these old motors beings back many memories , the b 36 had a sound that can't be mistaken, I miss it more than I can say.
there's something so satisfying about that "KRR-KRR-KRR" that those engines make right before they start
drives me nuts that the bf109 engine is inverted
That was done to keep the profile as narrow as possible. Hence why the Bf-109 is so much narrower compared to other fighters.
@@stephenroberts4895 They didnt have a wet sump .Used the same technique as radials I think?They bolted two together at some point one over another.

classic beauties 🤩
Merlins: the sound of victory!!
Ewwww British engenering
I like German and Russian Engineering
And French as well but only because allot of their stiff was wierd
Oh and the Packard is a lot better than the Merlin

JU-52 to me seems like it would be a neat little bush transport.
The mustang start up was sweet! Loved the name also
It was the least satisfying noise out of all the planes.
The Bf-109 sounds so much like a Peterbilt... I'll never hear truck-stop sound the same way again.
stop your giveing me ww2 flashbacks

Hitler asket a captain what the wanted most. And he said he wished the had spitfire.

Bit too close to that prop

those engines are loud was around 30 feet away from a tbd when it started uts engine super loud!
Add horsepower to all engines so we can tell how powerful they are
