Tbh I think they did not have a clear plan and they were just winging it...
-_-
Bah-da-bum-bum-tss!
I want a divorce
THIS HAS TO STOP
This comment won't get off the ground, such a drag
The Wright Flyer was the first asymmetrical airplane. Yes the first plane that flew was asymmetrical. It had the pilot seat on one side an the engine on the other. The engine drove two propellers that were symmetrical. The chains that connected the props to the engine were of two different lengths.
also for steering you had to shift your weight and the entire wing structures would BEND AND TWIST
@@eminatorstudios TBF that's what birds do in flight. They do it more subtly but they do.
Did you ever stick your hand out the window of a moving car and feel the wind moving over it? Just by feel alone you quickly figure out how to shape your hand to move through the air and you can feel the differences between little changes in the shape of your hand.
@@glenngriffon8032also that's how bikes are steering
Wing-Warping rather than aileron control is something that is being researched afresh in the light of recent materials advances, and is likely to become 'normal' in the near future. @@eminatorstudios
I believe this category was restricted to planes with *external asymmetry.* That of which would affect the _aerodynamic shape_ lmao I don't think asymmetrical distribution of internal mass alone is enough to meet the criteria of what was being discussed here. He listed some planes he categorized as "symmetrical" predecessors that also had offset internal components like pilot seating, storage, etc.
Cool history fact though! 💯😎
OMG, I totally misread the title of the video... I read it as Antisemitic Aircraft, instead of Asymmetric. I was thinking, how on earth is a plane racist. Damn my dyslexia.
By being planely racist
i give it a year before the planes are racist for being painted white.
F you dyslexia 😂😂😂😂😂 ( dyslexic as well)
Well it was made by Nazis
Maybe it shoots hams...
drunken plane how ironic was prigozhin a passenger?
I learned this as a kid back in the '40's. I was flying a simple balsa wood model when it hit a tree., knocking the wing sideways in the fuselage slot. For whatever reason, I picked it up, leaving the wing oblique, and tossed it, fully expecting it to do some kind of aileron roll spiral. Surprisingly, it flew straight and upright. I tried this several times with the same result. Fast forward to the 1990's. I was working at NASA Ames RC where the new variable, oblique wing aircraft was taxiing out for its first test. People were taking bets that this thing wouldn't fly. I kept quiet, but I could have won a lot of bets that day.
Pity I didn't know about the test. Could have taken a break from the Blue Cube or the single floor office building where I was working (facilities in both). And would have made money along with you as I was already familiar with the swing wing concept (and had a model rocket simulating it a bit).
Ah...The Blue Cube. Ground zero in a SHTF scenario. NASA actually allowed a few "civvie" pilots to fly the oblique wing jet after the initial tests. Unfortunately, I was not one of them...in spite of much begging. Nice little jet.@@lukevaxhacker7762
that’s a cool story :)
Absolutely fascinating! I never even knew I wanted to know about this! That's why I love this channel!
Too many planes described _without photographs._
*How come?*
These in video adverts, are really starting to eat more time than feels reasonable.
single engine aircraft are not aerodynamically symmetrical, due to torque effect, P-effect, and slipstream effect. any multi engine aircraft which do not use counter rotating props are also not symmetrical, dynamically. Just saying..
Yay, B&V 141, I actually think that one is somewhat appealing, unlike the abomination with the diagonal wing.
The BV 141 would have been seriously considered for service had the plane *NOT* used the BMW 801 engine.
Oh my gosh why wasn't a picture of the Scaled Composites ARES shown?! It's beautiful and not based on the Long EZ. Both planes do use canards for pitch control but that's where the similarities end.
2:33 fights back throwing up
This would be an interesting video if the editor didn't intentionally make the pictures worse to make it seem more old-timey. The results unfortunately just plain stink.
video starts at 2:01
Had to turn off this video. The background music was so loud, I couldn’t even hear Simon at times.
Another fighter plane video...... lemme guess which videos are bronging in the $$$$
What about the P-82, which was two P-51s joined with a short bridge? Looked kinda like a P-38.
P82 TWIN MUSTANG
@@MrDDiRusso - I stand corrected.
One of the prototypes was restored a few years back and displayed (and flown) at Oshkosh. Very cool! Just search for N887XP, the registration number, and you should find info and pics of it.
@MrDDiRusso although a four-boomed/four engined twin Lightning would be really cool!
@@nsd935 - Yeah, but who's in the other pod?
gotta correct you, Simon: the designer of the bv141 was Dr Richard Vogt, rhymes with "poked", not "Voit"
As humans we can envision many things that apparently shouldn't work but a quick poke about in a math book and usually it's fairly easy to prove that in fact this thing that seems impossible will actually work. When it comes to flying things I always think of the Bumble bee or as we called them as children Bumbley Bees. I once read where several aviation scientists proved that this creature was theoretically unable to fly based on the math of the creature. Body size, wing size, weight etc all scientifically conspired to make flight impossible for our little flight capable creature. I think it would be cool to see you do a film on this topic because I have always wondered...does God cheat to create these little conundrums? Wouldn't that be fun to find it was So? Take care Simon...
I'm curious to see what happens in the next 20 years when we connect AI with 3D printers and robot arms in a wind tunnel... we might see some interesting things, everything right now and in the past has been limited by human imagination but AI in 20 years is going to be scary incredible.
AI (or at least whatever shit like ChatGPT is) doesn't create, it can only derive from existing material. The best we could hope for with AI "creation" is rearranging preexisting ideas into possibly new ways... kinda like Hollywood does now.
Damn Simon! Take a moment to breath. Great editing. Love y'alls shows.
ALL OF THEM. As always fantastic video
Someone should make a movie with every asymmetric aircraft but in the plot it's explained as they were cobbled together Mad Max style
A Crimson Skies movie would be awesome! 🎉✈️
That's my kind of plane
I think you mean *aeroplane*, not 'airplane'.
You're not American, Simon.
At least starfighters don't need to stick to symmetry as much. B-Wing ftw
You cant really make the claim that an aircraft type with a production number of 1 is actually safer than a type that had 7000 produced...the data just isnt there.
As a Engineer and Innovator, You must have, "a hell of a crew", for getting hold of such, vast material.
For all of Your channels.
And, I admire Your "manner of speaking", as much as I wish, I had something similar.
Looking forward, to all of Your "news", and, on all of Your videos.
Keep on going.
from a Finn in Diaspora
Why did you place those quotation marks thre?
A somewhat confused Finn.
@@en-men-lu-ana6870 Just to highlight these things.
This was ment as a "Good Work" thing, and admire of those, who do the ground research.
symmetric or asymmetric,you can fly if you can generate lift with little or no drag
They really loved wearing their hats cocked at a jonty angle back in the early 20th century.
There is something off with the narrative and illustrations of the g6.
I saw the oblique wing fly at an airshow at Norton AFB a loooong time ago! Just as stable as any other aircraft.
Now I know what probably inspired the design of the TIE bomber.
Italian WWII fighter aircraft had one wing slightly longer than the other to counteract the torque forces produced by the engine/ prop
Most propeller aircrafts are not perfectly symmetrical until they are fitted with contra-rotating propellers. The thrust of a propeller is slightly sideways so the tail must be asymmetrical to counteract.
Yes I had a boss who trained pilots on P38's during the war and Kelly Johnson insisted on them for two reasons 1) to give the advantage of a better roll rate in the opposite direction in a dog fight. 2) less directional deviation during long distance flights. Interesting the Mosquito did not have counterotating props. The Allison engine started life intended for dirigible use and would utilize reversed rotation. (Don't ask me how) but that made counter clockwise turning engines very simple to create. Once the P38'S were flying the had to switch engines right for left, etc for improved airflow over the elevator. Having all the extra parts for the 2 different engines increased cost and logistics as well as operational issues.
Looks like the one prigožin was in had drank pilot flying it..
The ARES seems like it would have been a great CAS (or at least place to start) plane in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Fuselage alcohol syndrome.
He’s back!
Or simply 'if it work, it work'.
Other projects and design studies of the period (WW2) included:
•Messerschmitt P.1109 oblique wing jet.
•Isaacson fighter-bomber, powered by two Napier Sabres.
Who would even try this? 😂
Between 1979 and *when,* Simon!
I love these planes. Burt Rutan's ideas are out-of-the-box and yet work well. Been a longtime fan of him.
I have ocd i cant even with those wings
Interesting video!
Wow this was bizarre, loved it. Never knew such planes could be imagined much less actually fly!
OMG, I love this video. You guys do such an amazing job on research and presenting such awesome videos. Simon, my father used to work at Scaled Composites. He was the crew chief of the Global Flyer and could give you guys information about it for a video on the Global Flyer.
I’m confused, Is Simon back? Did someone eat humble pie and apologize so Simon would come back?
Pretty sure it's top tens, geographics, and biographics that he isn't doing anymore
Maybe he wrangled that other guy back to the basement...
If that guy sticks around I'm unsubscibing from those channels. Nothing against basement guy buy fact boy just has that voice and the other guy sounds like an extra nerdy gun Jesus and I already have a hard time listening to Ian McCollum.
@@brs690 Same here!
@Endoplasmic-Reticulum fact boy is more than welcome to introduce his friends channels though. Fact boy is fact boy even if his facts are skewed once in a while.
One of the WW2 Italian fighters (Fiat G-50? Macchi-200?) had wing asymmetry, mainly to cope with engine torque. Think one of the Bloch fighters (MB-151/152?) had engine skewed for same reason. Bf-109 had fin asymmetry to reduce pilot foot load. Slew /oblique wing offers similar benefits to swing wings, but with lighter mechanism. Probably not feasible for civil use because of passenger resistance.
I love the melting in the sun simile!
Very bizarre!
Coffee=🤮
Should do a Wright Brothers First Flight comparison with the flight of The Silver Dart invented by Alexander Graham Bell. Both were being developed at the same time!
In fairness, it might look like almost the same time from this distance but over 5 years is a long time in the early history of flight.
If they can get a helicopter to fly Assymetrical flight is simple. On the same track, a surprisingly large number of military pilots are quite experienced with flying asymmetrical aircraft unintentionally of course. Then there were those folks at Blohm & Voss.
Pretty interesting Simón 🎉🎉🎉🎉
The only problem with asymmetrical aircraft is people. People tend to like symmetry or they like there airplanes to have some “fang Shui”🤪 silly isn’t it!
I love the Rutan Boomerang! And all his other designs! My dad built a long-ez and a Cozy Mk4
Rutan is the king of asymmetry. Absolute visionary.
I would love to learn about planes like what was shown in this video
I think this is the first clip of this team I can recall that has some glaring errors in reading and editing. That’s a credit to the usual work of the ‘factory’ but still made me chuckle. Maybe they had a deadline to get to the pub? :)
You can make anything fly if you can cancel out the effects of gravity. The energy required to do this without resonance or some other application of the laws of physics can be immense.
That BB-141 is giving me mad "Crimson Skies" vibes.
It seems like if twin engines are considered a safety concern due to one failing and the aircraft being pushed left or right that the twin engine push-pull configuration which has been used many times would already fix this issue
Simple explanation is that the 2nd prop pulling through relatively undisturbed air is much more efficient and provides much more thrust. Same is true of pulling versus pushing propellers.
@giantgeoff In that case I must ask the obvious next question which is, why do push pull aircraft get built at all then?
Today, of all days, I decided to brew a big pot of coffee, and here is Simon talking about a great brand of coffee, as my coffee bubbles and moves toward the carafe, I am going to listen to and see a new to me video. about the time the video is going to end, my warm, delicious brew will be ready to be found in my cup. Such a nice start for my day
Yeh none of them were a raging success, so if it looks like it’s shouldn’t work then it probably doesn’t.
I met Rutan, where I worked at the time.
We tested oxygen system components for the around the world trip.
Do ya here that Stocton Rush,
They took time to test their hand-made machine
your description of a Multi-engine airplane engine is a little off. Immediate Loos of control does not occur. It has to be allowed.
These images just make me uncomfortable lol. I hate asymmetry.
I swear to the wee man, that when I first seen this thumbnail a week ago the wings were perpendicular to the fuselage and the tail was bent.
No joke...it happened.
One of the many research papers stolen as war prizes after WW2, only weird that it took the Americans so long to apply it to a prototype.
Simon's head must be nearly 40% beard at this point
I thought the plane in the thumbnail was just banking. 😂
…..they are so unconventional that people get shocked into not using it
Simon has no idea what he's reading and forgets what his mouth has said within seconds.
Sea planes & flying boats...🤔
Simon always seems to be chasing away poopoo pains😂
This shouldn't even fly? But it does then it should...be able to fly...because it does. Just saying.
whats the rush to get the video over with - please talk more slowely
If it's stupid and it works, it ain't stupid.
I don't understand what is asymmetric about any of these planes.
Starfishes love
As a kid I could make the wing of a balsa wood rubber band plane oblique like that. As long as it was the type that had a slot through the fuselage and the wing was one long piece. And they flew just great! There was another kind of balsa plane that has clips on the fuselage where you had two halves of your wing you had to push into the slots in the clip. Couldn't do it with those.

Id make a plane joke, but it wouldnt get off the ground. What a drag
Comment for the algorithm
I hate to bring this up, but ever since you said you did not like Americans, I am ambivalent about watching your various channels.
They often seem to be geared toward Americans, so it is very confusing.
Could I ask what it is that Americans did to you and now you don't like them as a whole?
I mean, I had an English lady next door who cussed me out for making a "bloody damn mess" when I was digging out her blocked ditch to help drain her backyard...but I didn't blame all British people thinking they were drunk, foul-mouthed, thankless people. Lol
Now, I am an old woman and I would love if someone would come and clean out that same ditch.
You have the equipment build the steel cage and lower it in.
If you want to weld some just add some steel beyond code requirements.
too many damn airplane videos on this channel. please do more interesting topics i can only hear about jet fighters and airplanes so many times.
You seem to provide a lot of facts. You might want to consider that before insisting that "birds evolved". There's less "evidence" to support that shaky theory than there is to prove that they were created.
The term OCD is used incorrectly here. OCD is a disorder that can be very debilitating and should not be trivialized by misusing the term. A video should be done on OCD as it is a very interesting and misunderstood topic.
When my gf needed pads, I asked if she wanted some with wings or rathered some with a propeller
Ha ha ha, I'm single now
That some maniac turned a LONG-EZ into a gunship amazes me.
I love these types of videos, but I just can’t stand hearing this guys voice. Couldn’t do it.
