Airplanes. How do they even work? Okay, we know how they work, but ever since the Wright Brothers changed the aviation world forever, people have been forever curious about how airplanes actually stay up in the air, and why only certain designs work while others flops. In fact, the creation of various aircraft over the years has been the subject of all sorts of testing by all manner of parties. Private companies, military factions, daredevils, and those who just want to fly! And one thing that almost every party has dabbled in at one point or another is trying to make the smallest possible airplane for someone to fly in. And sometimes…it’s worked out! So with that in mind, allow us to show you the 20 Smallest Mini Aircraft In The World!

The comment, “when an airplane loses one of its engines, it’s going down like a stone” is incorrect, misleading, and irresponsible. You are obviously not a pilot.
@greg552 - I noted that error as well. He's nothing more than a content creator with no knowledge of his subject matter. And it shows.
Funny thing is a Helicopter is one of the safest aircraft to land with no engine because it's easier to find off field locations to land than any fixed wing aircraft. That said though a lot of the shall I say "wearable" aircraft have zero redundancy, so for sure your engine(s) are your life on them. It's why you rarely see those jetpacks and ducted fan packs fly high or ultra fast, and also like demonstrating over water. As you point out even a horrible GA aircraft will have at least a 5:1 glide ratio but 9:1 or even 12:1 are more typical. Even commercial airliners manage as much as 18:1 glide ratios so losing engines (with enough altitude) can often get you to a suitable place to land.
3:12 and the cover pic are NOT REAL. The least they could have done is connect the props and make them the right size. Another fake. You're a fool if you believe many of these are real.😂
He's gone (fancy) bananas!
The second plane looks like an AI rendered it (an AI that doesn't understand how propellers work!). I am only 4 minutes in but I expect the "Cri Cri" is coming - that is real and a saw one up close in France years ago and saw the pilot get in and fly it!
Dude wtf was growing out of the side of the plane in the thumbnail? Still can't figure out if those are supposed to be ammo boxes or luggage or, um, cysts...
@@stumccabe I've owned a CriCri for many years. It's a great little aerobatic aircraft. Mine has 2 15hp 2sroke 1 cylinder engines but they have been built with jet and electric motors. Mine has a 2 1/2 hour endurance and 115mph cruising speed on a 5 gallon tank of gas.
AI generated image.
The Russian one seems to be a AI generated image.
You are right. And this tells me the author is just making stuff up and gets a "thumbs down" from me
Yep. It's the same error with AI generated faces, where the eyes have 1½, overlapping pupils. Looks odd.
One prop on each side isn't connected to the engine! 😂
Definitely. This video sucks.
@@TerribleTim9692 Are you a virolog... aehm, an aeronautical engineering? 🧐
Yes. The Russian one is an obvious fake. Just look at propellor blades closely. I think you’ve been had.
He's gone bananas
Have you ever played the game ''Spot The Difference'' | Time stamp 3:15 Everything about those engines is wrong, the props aren't centered and there's 2 propeller blades that are NOT on the propeller spindles.- it's quite comical! | Time stamp 4:00 You said ''the other issue is at the nose of the craft, the designers apparently tried to make a craft so small that they were forced to have some of the *engine parts* and devices stick out...'' | It's obvious that the engines are under the wings, not in the nose! I built model airplanes when I was a kid!
The McDONNELL XF-85 ‘Goblin’ was designed to work with the B-36 during the Cold War, not WW2. The F-84 on the trapeze was the proof-of-concept for the FICON (Fighter Conveyer/Fighter in Convair) project which combined an Republic RF-84K reconnaissance aircraft with a Convair GRB-36D reconnaissance bomber. This bizarre system was actually operational for about a year in the mid-1950s, but was made redundant by the U-2 and satellite program. The F-84 on the wingtip of the B-29 was part of project Tip-Toe, another attempt to provide B-36s with escort fighters. The theory was sound, attaching the F-84 to the B-29 wingtip actually improved the left efficiency of the B-29 wing. Project. Was cancelled after instability in flight saw an F-84 roll/crash onto the B-29 wing, the crash killing all on board both craft. The other problem was the F-84 pilot would be stuck in his cockpit for 24-36 hours (B-36 missions tended to be long), so his combat effectiveness was questionable.
The XF-85 was designed, but not built, during WWII.
@@maxsdad538 Yes, you’re right, I was sloppy with my phrasing. I should have made clear that the Development was post WW2, arising from a requirement that dated back to 1942. It is interesting that the USAAC/USAAF recognised that bombers needed escort fighters as far back as December 1942 but persisted with the concept of self-defended bomber until autumn of 1943.
Many multi-engine aircraft can fly and land safely after losing an engine. That is the whole point of flight test, to build something that can cope with mechanical failure.
Bally's Bomber, the Amazing flyable Mini B-17 should have been included in this list.
Coors ran a BD5J around airshows in the 80s dubbed, the Coors Silver Bullet.
Sorry I stopped watching after the second plane shown was clearly an AI image but the narrator continued to talk about it like it was real.
Me too. I don’t think the person the uploaded the video knows much about aircraft.
Yeah, that second photo was pure B.S. I stopped watching imediately.
Me too. It’s hard to take this video seriously after the obvious fake. That was it for me too.
What Are you saying?? That's the well known BeeCraft Maya, those are just some hives protruding from the nose during maintenance!
The upper right blades are at the back of the nacelles!
Hi Fancy 🍌. Some awesome lil ✈ ✈. Thank you for the wonderful video
Too much RC aircraft footage
The rc footage is used because these planes are out of annual or in a museum,or both
Almost all of these aircraft will be labeled as Experimental aircraft because it is a requirement in the US to do so. The only way to not do so is to get it certified through a very long and expensive process with the FAA. Most of these aircraft are either in the development stage (not yet to the point to start the certification process), or they are home/kit built. All kit built aircraft are required to be labeled as experimental.
The "Russian plne" is in fact simply a ground-only craft for drawing attention at events. The CriCri is actually French slang for Cricket.
The 11th : spacek sd-1 minisport...comes with supposed to be high end instrument...like engine monitoring and a distress radio beacon... Both are just mandatory on airplanes...
IF THE SINGLE ENGINE FIGHTERS HAD CONTRA ROTATING PROPS AND THEY HAD THOUGHT OF THE IDEA IT WOULD HAVE GONE MUCH FASTER IN SPEED AND OUT MANOUVERD THE GERMAN PLANES THAT THE GERMANS HAD AT THE TIME
15:40 Goblin was ordered 1 month after World War II was over and flight testing began in 1948 according to the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force.
Why in #13 ur talkin' about small manned planes but all ur showin' is RC planes. 🤔 Did those planes actually fly?
It isn't "acrobatic" in aviation, except in unfortunate instances. Only in ground contact sports. Rather, it is aerobatic.
4:18 I see a life size Ancient Aliens Vib.
IF THE SINGLE ENGINE FIGHTERS HAD CONTRA ROTATING PROPS AND THEY HAD THOUGHT OF THE IDEA IT WOULD HAVE GONE MUCH FASTER IN SPEED AND OUT MANOUVERD THE GERMAN PLANES THAT THE GERMANS HAD AT THE TIME ❤
2:50 that clearly is not a plane but the result of AI The footage of the cri-cri shows 3 different planes: -the original cri-cri -the jet cri-cri -the electric version.
Most (but not all) tiny aircraft makers are lots of hype with over promising and underdelivering. That's why so many are out of business, some without even making one flying model. Imagine if they all just figured out how to under promise and over deliver instead.
many of the images and video are not of real aircraft, but screen grabs from simulators, models, or AI generated images. the fact that the narrator is making up stories about them is appalling.
Yes the Russian aircraft is photo shopped those are jet engines they don't have props
Not only that, but look again, because one prop on each side is not connected to the engine! 😂
@@TerribleTim9692 Are you a virolog... aehm, an aeronautical engineering? 🧐
@@lucar.923 - You've posted your question twice. And the second time made even less sense than the first time which made no sense at all.
A Gremlin is at the AF museum in Dayton, Oh.
The Gyrocopter was also used in a James Bond movie. You Only Live Twice.
You might consider the Mooney Mite.
Those were a combination of storage panel covers/interior heating/oil radiators that close into the fuselage.
The Equator P2 Xcursion is not an all electric aircraft. It is a hybrid aircraft with a fossil fuel powered range extender engine. That is how it gets its power and range specs.
I want a Cri Cri!
If you search you tube for cri cri build or crikit aviation you'll find a series on constructing one.
A twin-engine aircraft does not drop out of the sky if it loses power in one engine. And, you do not need thousands of hours of flight time in order to pilot it safely. Many people start their multi-engine training with around 100-200 hours of flight time. Most of that training time is spent with one of the engines not used.
Unlike what the narrator stated, the single-seat Sonex jet aircraft is the absolute worst place to begin to get your “pilot’s wings”. This aircraft is for experienced pilots only. It is a single-seater. There is no place for the instructor to sit. And, you can not fly solo without an instructor’s endorsement unless you already have a pilot certificate.
The one single blade on the back of the engine would sever the connection between the engine and the wing. Engine is in the front? WOW KZhead. YOU'LL LET THEM PUT ANY ON TO MAKE A BUCK AS LONG AS ITS not guns. .
Kittyhawk, a name often used for airplanes and occasionally aircraft carriers.
so who has the "jet pack" that keeps buzzing air liners on LAX final aproch? a block away from SpaceX?
Almost all powered aircraft flying in the US are required to have that “special tracking beacon” in the aircraft. Gliders an exception to this federal regulation.

Number two is an AI generated image
Fancy topic ... this has to be an AI image
Always is 🤣
THE DC-3 CAN EASILY FLY ON ONE ENGINE DUE TO THE WING CONFIGURATION IT'S BEEN TESTED AND PROVEN WHERE AS THE DC-2 MAY NOT BE ABLE TO FLY ON ONE ENGINE ACCORDING TO TEST RESULTS
A DC-2 can certainly fly on one engine and the wings are very similar. During WW-II CNAC had a DC-3 that was damaged and the only replacement wing was from a DC-2. It was a bit shorter but the plane flew the rest of the war that way with trim correction.
3:43 not just Ai but crappy Ai
#fancytopic: AI generated picture.
07:25 - I think he meant Protagonist! I'm 99% sure that he's referring to "Naussica" or "Warriors of The Wind" The Protagonist is a very young girl.who rides this jet thing as if it were a surfboard!!!
What’s with the AI generated click photo. Pretty messed up.🤣
The second is certainly an AI picture, not even close to real.
3:11 that’s bloody ai the engine is messed up
The Russian Barnacle?
I like how that f$%k ugly flying blue Yugo has 3 blades mounted in front of the engine nacelle, and the fourth blade is actually mounted behind.
2nd picture aircraft is a.i (poorly) generated. Does the plane even exist ?
3:19, looks like a failed AI image
Your number 19 is jet propelled . Someone photoshoped the props and the fungus on the body .
Russian plane is actually a jet with (badly) photoshopped props , and bees honeycombe .
Most of these planes, you can't get your hands on because these never went for production, not even as kits. I would regard the CriCri the Subsonex Jet end the BD5J as real aircrafts... most of the others are nowhere to be seen.
At 3:12. This is a bad AI generated image. That you can't see that or won't reveal it makes ALL credibility go out the window.
Seeing the subsonex as 20th is a joke.
Hi! Bless you all
Thank you
One should turn the sound down and just look at the video, the narration is dodgy, too many false statements.
The crecre is Funny but it flyes😅
I've never heard anyone try to pronounce "EVTOL" before. And someone below says it right--that click bait photo we all clicked on is either a joke or an embarrassment for the narrator.
I've got a 1975 BD-10. I bought it as an incomplete kt and finished up. The engines are being gone through as they had set for decades and weren't properly stored. They are due back in June, and I hope to have it ready by July 4th. I love the fact that it looks like a small F-15, and it is supersonic.
It only has one CJ-610 engine and 3 of the 5 crashed. If you really do have it, I'd advise you don't fly it.
BDBD5G's ..... anyone know of a SOME ONE That took an old not complete kit, and put one of the NEW TECH MINI JETS IN IT ????? RE: FANCY TOPIC lol in RUSSA they do funny things... to get things done... ;) HEHE personally it kinda look like the PROPS are just that, props, not propellers, but ''movie props'' and those lil engines were spoosed to be lil jet engines.... that they didn't want peeps to kno its jets yet cuz the TECHNOLOGY WAS NOT THERE YET TO HAVE SUCH SMALL JET ENGINES but nowadyas there IS SUCH SMALLER JET ENGINES That very well could push this beasty around, but it neeeded to LOOK LIKE IT COULD FLY REALLY REALLY SSON and it ''wasn't flying yet'' but eh... had ot look like it COULD FLY REALLY SOON but not yet,,,, to keep the miney fundage incomming into the project....??? :) HEHEHE eh... it was CUTE... I wonder if it could be done up with todays techk, and carbon fiber or something? RE: FANCY TOPIC the mini twin people mover plane... which I can see a 4 or 6 seeter plane 2 engines, maybe even ''try to be amphibious'' ??? plenty fine on ski's cuz like ''winter there is pretty rough they say'' ;) :) HEHEHE BUT RE: FANCY TOPIC . I winder if todays tech, a couple of turbo916's ?? and TODAYS ELECTRONIC TECH so all that room issin't needed for the FULL DYNON or Garmin pack and the fancy digital engine monitor system... ;) lots leesss room I think it's a totally COOL AND CUTE LIL PLANE!!! :) and if it was AMPHIBIOUS even if it needed to land on go up a ramp not SIT ON THE WATER cuz like ... ummm eh TOTLLY COOL!!! or wordage to dat effectz!@! :) MUCH LOVE TO ALL !!! LOVE JOY COMPASSION
Hay that third one is AI generated art. This is why AI will not take over the world, it doesn't even know what propellers look like.
CLICKBAIT video - Be warned.
It's a jet
Though the last plane may seem cool to some people, and RC planes are fun as hell, it was pretty disappointing waiting all the way till the end to find out #1 was not a plane that can be piloted by a person. What was the point in that? You " thought it would be nice to show us something different"? There are a TON of RC aircraft videos out here for people that want to see that. Switching it up at the very end was really disappointing. That's like viewers going to a car show to see rare cars, and at the very last minute someone unveils a bicycle....🙄
No 2 is an AI creation. Nice try but no cigar.
there is no such thing as an "electric engine." It's an electric motor. Do some research.
4:08 yeah, the engines aren’t in the nose. This is the dumbest excuse ever.
The narrator really should speak better English and some of the content is inaccurate. A shame because it's a very interesting topic.
LOL The worst photo shop job ever
The R2j is Strang but it flyes
Leave it to the asians to think up a crazy idea then they go and make a real version based off a cartoon.
Electric airplane is not the answer for commercial aviation. Look at the 744 the takeoff weight is more than its safe landing weight. Now if you are planning to drop weight as you fly electric airplane is not going to work for commercial flights. Now if you look at aerostats then you are on to something. I would love to fly on an all electric aerostat aircraft. Now for those who don’t know about aerostats they are an airplane and a blip design so they are heavier than air but just so they need wings to fly. Now electric aircraft must have a half hour power reserve. So if you fly 2 hours to a place you must have 2 and a half hours of power to be allowed to fly in the United States. So if you can only power the aircraft for one hour you can only fly at for a half an hour bylaw.
The Wright brothers made their aircraft in Ohio.
What happened to twinkle your Guinea pig?
wtf? #3, the engines were in pods. Nowhere near where the protrusions were. It looks as if you're just making stuff up to meet the video length. Not worth watching, for what I suspect are perfectly false presentations.
Omg im 2nd
Barnacles growing from a plane! Novel Idea but impractical and Plain Dumb🇨🇦😂
What’s with the AI
Jetson
Thanks for not knowing what that is.
3:30 ... that's not an airplane ''banana''... that's an A.I generated image... and a terrible one!... just look at the props!... one prop is on the back of the engine [among other ''crazies''...]
What Anime?
Channel blocked for pushing uploader's lies!
Even the Russians aren't stupid enough to design an aircraft with "engine" parts protruding out from the fuselage. Looks like a failed Photoshop project.
most part 103 aircraft are smaller than the majority of this list. I appreciate the effort, but this was quite painful to watch. please please do more research before doing aviation videos...half of the footage is RC aircraft, many things misstated, or just flatly erroneous...
This narrator is boss. 👍
4:13 That is obviously a very badly AI created image of a airplane that do not exist, and it is very weird to just make up a backstory to a plane that do not exist. I stopped watching after that....
Fakey McFakenstein...
3:12 Definitely an AI fake photo. The engines are turbofans, so don't have props. And the props are all wrong anyway. All that gear hanging off the nose? None of it is streamlined so drag would be very high. Wheels are way too large for an aircraft that size. The horizontal stabilizer is all out of proportion. Windscreen is asymmetrical - look closely at the far side where it merges with the nose. One wiper only? What have I missed? 6:45 Maybe it has an engine, but the tow rope is pretty obvious. 8:18 What English speaking 12 year old has not seen the word Archaeopteryx? The dinosaur predecessor to birds? 13:35 Stitz SA2A Sky Baby. The aircraft you're showing us appears to be remote controlled and not manned, despite your claim. Dishonest much? And then there came drones... Silly video.
Photoshops not real plane
very bad AI on the cover pic check the props , but of course you already knew that. You get more money if ye get more comments
The Gee Bee made in 1932. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Granville_Gee_Bee_Model_R_Super_Sportster
McConnell? Hard pass
After watching the first one and giving absolutely NO specifics: Adequate range, enough thrust... and then the laughable idea that one could easily learn in a SINGLE SEAT HIGH PERFORMANCE JET with no instructor? The second was lousy AI plane and I stopped watching... I assume the entire video is AI.
The prop blades at 2 o'clock on both engines are NOT attached ie missing a piece where they cross the cowling. Totally AI garbage.
This is just garbage, clickbait and AI pictures🤮
