Flight of the Future - Science Fiction or Reality
Subscribe to Naked Science - goo.gl/wpc2Q1
Every other Wednesday we present a new video, so join us to see the truth laid bare...
In the not too distant future strange craft will zoom across our skies. These are not UFOs, they’re not alien craft from another planet, these are machines developed and built by human engineers and designers. Today’s science fiction will become tomorrow’s reality. These are the aircraft of the future!
What you’re about to see is a glimpse into the future of aviation. Winged aircraft as we know them will soon be a thing of the past. Across the world designers are racing to create fantastic new aircraft that can fly humans higher, faster, and further than ever before. New military designs, airliners that can take us to the edge of space and around the planet in minutes, and new propulsion systems that will make the jet engine obsolete forever.
One casualty of this race for the future sits abandoned on an airfield, this fighter was more advanced than aircraft in service, but was already obsolete. It was the loser in the engineering competition of the century. In 1985 the United States Air Force demanded a new fighter plane, one that would incorporate the most up-to-date advances in stealth and agility. Two multibillion dollar designs by rival companies took to the air in a fight to the death. One was the Northrop YF-23, it had diamond shaped wings. The other was the Lockheed YF-22. The winner would become the backbone of the US Air Force, the loser a billion dollar pile of scrap.
A fierce fight was about to take place between the two most advanced fighter aircraft ever built. The test pilots fought to outperform each other. But after the YF-23’s wheels touched the ground it never flew again. With its greater performance and agility, the YF-22 was chosen to take the US Air Force into the next millennium. It is a truly remarkable craft, it is able to reach speeds and perform manoeuvres far beyond that of the front line fighter of the time, the McDonnell Douglas F-15 Eagle.
Although the technology presented in this documentary (from 1998) is considered outdated by now, it is a gem and great find on KZhead! Thanks for sharing this!
Thanks was looking in the description for the year this video was produced. 1998.

Where's the tic tac?
@ 20:06 "It's a low pressure region. *Things get sucked in* . . . " Getting sucked into various circumstances has been the story of my life. But do go on with technical stuff. I love learning about this type of thing. . . . even if it's not brand-spanking-new. It's still fascinating.
Back in the 90's when i lived in an apartment and only had basic Cable, 'Extreme Machines' was my absolute favorite show!.......along with Beyond 2000/Beyond Tomorrow. Boy i miss those days, wish i could go back.
Yes. I'm ok
Mine too beyond tomorrow rings some bells love tech love flight I would jump out a plane like this onto Michael Jacksons long lost top-secret Unicorn I will make Robots to replace my f'd up siblings & I will be bionic before I die like Steve Austin million dollar man .
love how he is getting so much facts in there and he almost flies the thing into his head at 15:29
23:56 . The pilot survived. Absolutely amazing.
That was the story of Steve Austin & the six million dollar man -> The tv series!
Xtreme Machines, 1 of my favorite documentaries. I think this is from 1990s telecasted on Discovery Channel's Wings program. I was in school then & so fascinated by these programs. Now we need a good documentary on 6th gen jets.
Colleageus of mine used drones they bought from home into the theatre of war as they were not issued them by their own military. One unit had about 6 drones which engineers upgraded ingeniously. Also casualties were minimal as every partol had a couple of drones searching the battle field spotting the enemy and vectoring the troops to intercept them and airstrikes. Brilliant things
Josh Charles: Well said!...Once youre drafted in the military, immediately be. friend your unit Comndng. Officer (C.O.) about the used of "modern gadgets" available now in the on. line bussiness market!.. Thru "contribution system" among the level of: platoon group (30 + soldrs.), company unit (100 + soldrs), battalion unit (500 + soldrs), etc. - quick "fund raising" action can be done, so any appropriate gadgets- can be purchased right away...Always do an improvement/ modification works on the purchased gadgets- to foiled any monitoring system, secretly unstalled by the manufacturer.. Dont forget to install a built. in explosives to your gadget, manually & auto activated option- to destroy your own gadget, once a crash incident was imminent.. Thus, sensitive info willnt fall into wrong hands.. Also, to cancell the possibility of the enemy re. cycling acts, using your OWN GADGET against you!...
Those huge brushed motors on the "tiny" RC planes were hilarious. Same thing with the resolution of the onboard camera....36ppi maybe, lol.
39:33 Cool! 🦖 This was a great video 👍
The next barrier to conquer is the creation, development, and the advancement of technology. Manipulating the field of gravity and creating a mobile liquid or multiple fields using the planet's poles polarities. The possibilities exist.
First, what distrubes the gravitational field, that may be a part of the equation. On the atomic level the super conductors the atomic the electrons are slowed down it likely it may be the strength of the field be come much weaker. Frequency may be a way to control the fields. The structure and frame will need to be quite different composites of light gauges of metal or plastics. Frequencies are a part and active at base level of the atomic level and could distort create a warp tunnel that would need a containment field or fields. The Philadelphia experiment (if it was a real event would have something information that could be used.
The future is going to be something else

21:11 - as long as it carries some sort of transmitters - it will be "visible" - and there's no need to shoot it down as long, as you have your slippers on your feet (and in your hand) ;-) if we're talking 'bout "spying" into other spaces - buildings, areas of concentration etc - we need to talk about just near light freqs, nothing material...
That's a pretty simplistic arrangement for thrust vectoring. It could use some more axes. Maybe adjust length of the outermost linkage based upon pressure.
This is still a fun documentary. The old tube computers crack me up a little. I remember the '90s.
Excelente documentário, parabéns. Quanto o projeto da decolagem a laser eu já assisti na TV, só não lembro o ano! Mas essa ideia de propulsão é fantástica!
no way! I watched this almost 20 years ago, when south africa first got satellite connection! Where are those inventions today?
Correct. ...watch the credits at the end of the video. It says copyright TLC 1998
@@bad71hd fact.
@vctjkhme yep that moment the US wastes several hundreds of millions on building jets because they thought russia had 10's of thousands when in reality they just looped the same footage of 15 jets flying by 50 times and let the US watch their "War Propaganda" proof that if you make yourself look better then the US they get a crotchity about it and try to beat whatever you do like the insecure american's they are lol peace through superior firepower right?
HIDDEN brother,they are hidden for us,the people.... These scumbag murderers only need us to PAY for the shit.
@this worlds on fire Dude this is no where near black budget....
Made in 1998 - the Sukhoi Su-37 it gets so orgasmic about was a single prototype that crashed in 2002. The consensus was that, although it was hyper-manouverable, in reality it wouldn't do well in dog-fights. No further versions were built or flown.
@around 23:30 - No mention of the m2f2 pilot seeing a helicopter which he thought too close and in trying to correct is when the craft started it's wild roll. I worked at the Northrop "Advanced Lifting Re-entry Group at the time as a programmer.
The HSCT could use an optical fiber bundle to transfer forward video images from its nose into the cockpit without need of electrical power.
The real breakthrough that will make the difference and will make flying indefinitely safer is antigravitational technology. As long as flying is based on aerodynamics the forces keeping aircrafts in the air will need to keep a very delicate balance and disaster will occur when that balance is broken
Almost forgot. shouldve added in my og post... what about the drone pods we've deployed from fighters essentially putting up a shield of uav's around the said aircraft
This is an eye opening great video guys!
Wow I remember this show from back in the day. Extreme Machines 1997 was the year and holy shit I loved this show I watched It religiously. It was on the TLC channel which Plays nothing but garbage today. TLC had alot of good shows back then.
I am in complete agreement. I am so old I remember when MTV had music, the history channel wasn't the lame reality show channel, they actually had science shows on the science channel not just clips from youtube. I remember the day I got the science package. History Ch., History II, History International, Science Ch, TLC, and I think a couple more too.
@@amaitilasso I remember the Science Channel, TLC The Learning Channel, History Channel, H20 , Discovery Channel :) it was really good watching and learning about the world on television.

It's amazing how far we could go, and how much better off we all would be, if we all just got along
You do realize that most of the advancements made throughout history were in response to military requirements.
Yes I agree with you that violence is bad and that we have no other choice but to nuke our enemies
I really like this design and these guys are cool AF, just really sucks that reactionless propulsion is still being suppressed, these guys look cool enough to probably feel a similar way about this, especially if they knew just how close it was to being a reality just being intentionally kept under wraps.. 😔
Magnifique moments inoubliables. ✈️ Super l'atterrissage et le décollage 👍😎🛫🛬
I remember seeing this on the tv, that guys voice is legendary
he works for the CIA
It is hard to believe how advanced we've become since the day at Kittyhawk. I worked in military aviation back in the day and saw the Navy Tomcat through the f-18 Fighter. However, once in that world, one can't escape the notions of military aircraft of the present and to the future. I have a lot of respect for the various contractors such as Grumman, Lockheed, Pratt & Whitey, etc., and the results of Skunkworks, yet, I also share the same respect for the Russians too. In fact, I've often noticed some "experts" we find on the net appear to be too loyal to our accomplishments and are quite vocal with their opinions that only the West is capable to designing and producing mind-blowing technology to rule the skies. The Su-37's thrust vectoring capabilities and the use of canards along with the speed of the aircraft may be the ultimate answer our designers dread and keep the lights on all night at the White House. However, only time will answer the plethora of questions involved. Bur, these videos that illustrate the virtues of the Su-37, just in maneuvering capabilities alone, is enough for me to question our capabilities to counter the threat associated with this aircraft. Due to the fact I left the military years ago, I may not have enough information that only hands-on experience can explain. Yet, I know there are many veterans out there that do. Therefore, I wish this to be only a moment to learn and not debate with angry super-hero type patriots drunk on ignorance of recent recipes of Kool=Aid. One question alone is worthy to discuss and that is: "has American aircraft manufacturers reached that level of maneuvering and agility talent and possibly achieved better?" Or, "does the F-22 Raptor and the F-35 meet and or exceeds such capabilities or are we banking on better avionics and weapon systems with the aid of stealth to prevail? I think these are questions that are fair after watching t6he Su-37. I assume our aircraft share if not exceed what I witnessed, but I need verification. However, I'm amazed by their recent achievements and it was a pleasure to watch it. Also, don't assume I won't seek and or research this myself. In fact, I will be looking for videos of our aircraft doing the same feats. But, again, I'm thrilled by the recent technology and I often wonder if we will, in time, be able to do everything we can imagine.
100% agree
Дружище, твой родной запад только и делает, что ворует чужие технологии, даже джинсы не ваша разработка. О чем говорить - без России мозгов не хватается с ракетным двигателем справится и с атомными станциями. Твоя страна - сарача и спикулянты, к сожалению
That's a very human thing to say. We're so advanced we can make a tiny thing fly instead of a big thing. Lmao
Those drones like Cypher (12:13) are going to be game changing.
The laser light cone shaped craft looks like something from the Lost In Space or Buck Rogers shows. Maybe there is a way (depending on the actual mechanics of the device) to build a craft that contains the laser creating device located below the push plate to make it a self contained propulsion unit instead of having the laser creating device ground based.
In order to do this it would be great if the laser device was as small and lightweight as a laser pointer or flashlight but powerful enough to propel a craft with a few people and there property (1000 pounds) while using very little power.
Hmm, now you'll have to find a place for the motor that powers the laser and another place for the fuel to power the motor...
this is amazing, circle shaped aeroplanes>
12:05 i honestly thought he's gonna say: *"and the only way to eliminate human error is to eliminate ALL HUMANS!"* too much sci-fi heh..
AI is the best way to get there my friend!
Absolutely Excellent Presentation!
They need to start with magnetic auto levitation flight enablements so there are no crashes possible, then create from there.
Amazing watching old school tech
I’m watching this in October 2019 and it’s crazy to see how much has changed! 😮😳
2019 you said? 🤣
@@justsomeone9372 🤣
I remember seeing this in the '90s. One program said it was built on alien technology, another said it would be operational in a few years (tarialka).
2014: In the near future strange craft will zoom across the skies. 2020: Drones fly by with loud speaker screaming stay at home.
They are talking about Bionic UAVs. Drones are basic UAVs (non-bionic). The puzzle is still being solved.
By chance has anyone seen these tear drop shaped drones,about a foot long no propelers move very stealth like a hummingbird,any info ,appreaciated.some stay stationary some go back and forth.Mirrow like panels ,white or red light at bottom.mirror.thanks
Science fiction author and engineer Jerry Pournelle presented a article about what he termed a Laser Launching System about 40 years ago in a science fiction magazine. I believe the magazine was either Astounding or Amazing. Pournelle's concept was of a cargo/passenger module that was launched on a inclined rail system using a laser to heat water to extreme pressures at the back of the launch module to provide the reaction mass to boost to orbit. This is not a new idea.
TR3B and the Astra have been flying for some years now. This was just a small glimpse of what we already have and been having.
proof?
This is an amazing documentary...thanks for sharing.
Have u tried a dome? Insted of a cone. It's just a motor. Needs speed controul , direction and ect.
22:05 this was part of Ronald Reagans star wars defense program- I remember this when it was unclassified 10 years later in '96-7
This is like flipping pages in an old popular science magazine.....in 2019
Yep, we watched this video from over a decade ago and it's outdated, I'd like 2C an upgraded video from 2020 and compare the advancement into the world of 5G technology moving into aviation and propulsion, this is when and where we'll see the future in full range

To create that technology where there is no front windows but cameras you would have to use backup solar panel installations which would guarantee power regardless of what may happen. Those panels would have to be installed surrounding the top of the cockpit.
My mind is blown over the physics of The Wing beat. Imagine if you could solve that problem effectively.
Where are the flying saucers, now that we've reached 2019? And the dragonflys, and the lifting bodies? We saw a lot of pre-2014 aircraft, but not very many real concepts for the future. I'm not sure we're as smart as we have become accustomed to thinking we are.
Gov't are too scared to advance society to type 1 because they all want their vision of utopia to be instead of working together to achieve it. But I have to say I'd rather live in a liberal democracy if I had to choose.
@thespACEchannel My point is there should be no "upper hand." It's a bunch of old people playing chess with people's lives instead of taking a step back and looking at the big picture.
@thespACEchannel Stupid people have been "guiding the herd" for eons now. Mass communication has enabled a pretty good leap in technology and kind of stopping this endless wheel of war and ignorance and imposed death.
I think it's so funny to watch this 21 years later while seeing what the future really has held.
Memes, streaming and e-girls?? Lol

The Red Flag interstellar war has recently been set for 2030. Each vehicle will be piloted by a human from this planet. Suckers all. They are going to be shooting each other down. We've had artificial gravity (or whatever you want to call it) since the mid 1950s. The Military-Industrial "Black Budgeteers" have control way beyond the idiots we vote for.
@@climatechangedoesntbargain9140- I'll finish that comment for you, "is an idiot that deserves to perish traumatically", there you go buddy
I'm so glad the SU-37 was mentioned.. Since the fabled Su-57 has taken its place (Ha, Ha...Fabled!) the prediction that it would smother US Fighters was a bit pre-mature. While flying in an airshow in December 2002 while performing a high stress, high G maneuver, the pilot lost control as the aircraft came apart and disintegrated around him due to structural failure. The pilot ejected safely and survived. The SOLE aircraft crashed in a tremendous fireball. Despite a report in 1998 which claimed that Sukhoi had built a second Su-37 using the twelfth Su-27M airframe,[ THE ELEVENTH Su-27M remained the sole prototype. Sukhoi had instead applied the aircraft's systems to the design bureau's other fighter designs. The Su-37 did not enter production.
In such a short period of time we have gone from biplanes built from wood,fabric, and cables to aircraft built with composite materials, thrust vectoring and fly-by light controls, all of which had to be imagined and brought to reality, and things that can be imagined now will soon become reality, we are literally at the point where if you can imagine it you can build it.
We imagined flying cars over 50 years ago. Never happened and never will.
@@randomthings8247 There already exists flying cars though, they are just not efficient to use.
@@michaelp.5222 They are NOT flying cars. They are a supersized version of a flying TOY, four rotors, dependent on 6 axis gyros and a computer chip. That's like saying that a CAR is equivalent to a horse drawn CART. Just fully refined. Let's put a horse drawn CART in the LA freeway and see how that works out.

Inaccurate. Leaked Concorde plans had no impact on TU-144 design according to encyclopaedic data (Wiki). TU 144 had a different engine and wing configuration than Concord despite the two planes looking similar from afar. Furthermore - there was nothing "faulty" about TU 144. It's main problem was the short distance it was able to travel. Soviets had to improve the design to match Concorde's distance, and they did. Why the TU-144 crashed at Le Bourge is not clear to this day. Some sources suggest the pilots turned on a new untested fly-by-wire system (which had to remain in non-operational mode during all flights). The last words of the pilot as the delegation entered the plane's cockpit were: "if we're going to die at least we die together", suggesting he knew of some danger factor that he chose to conceal. Another possible factor is that seconds before the crash the pilot may have been startled by the French Mirage plane. The French were interested in TU-144 winglets, Mirage's pilot's assignment was to film the winglets unfolding up close.
So I’m watching this video and thinking of how cool that last fighter jet was. I kept thinking, how do they get away with showing such advanced aircraft maneuverability and unheard of abilities? It didn’t quite register in my brain, that it would be unclassified data. Then the old brain cells started talking to each other. I remember seeing something about that tiny flat yellow prop driven prototype, quite a while ago on some random video. I figured that the video was showing a previous prototype and would then get to the “NOW” stuff....... I finally came to my full senses after I saw those old stone age computers with their CRT monitors and floppy drive slots. That’s not right! Is it? ................. I have recently entered into the world of Quad Copters and even a couple of Hex-a Copters, also known as drones. I have two larger drones. One is about 14” square and my other drone is about 17” square. However, I really love my Nano Drones. These are extremely tiny quadcopter’s and also hexacopter’s. My smallest drone is just about the size of a quarter. That’s right, a 25 cent piece. The nano-drone is so small that it is stored inside of the tiny remote controller, where it is also charged, by the batteries of the controller unit. $18.95 is a great price for ?????? The tiniest nano drone available. Amazon has them. I also have a variety of nano drones that I fly (play with). Some have HD Vid/Photo 4K FPV. Basically, the technology that is utilized in my micro toys is far more advanced than anything that is shown to us, in this video. Yes, including that incredible fighter jet that was featured. As advanced as the systems were on that jet, my nano drones have some extremely recent technological advancements, specifically in GPS, Gravity Sensors along with Optical GPS Technology. All of these developments have been engineered in the last 12-18 months, for general retail. Who knows what the governments of the world are messing around with things they shouldn’t be. No telling, how advanced our technology has become. But one thing is for damn sure....... The use of all our advanced technology will ultimately lead to mankind’s demise. And THAT is what I truly believe, will happen. ...... QUITE POSSIBLY SOONER THAN WE MY BELIEVE. How unfortunate we can’t control ourselves.
Mister Tibbs,have you ever seen drones shaped like tear drop about a ft.

Su-37 - (which was actually just a technology demonstrator, of which only one was ever built and that one crashed - we'll ignore this for now) does summersaults in the air. Narrator: "...the MASTER of the skies". F-22 - which the Suhkoi can't see, fires an AMRAAM from 12 miles. No more Su-37.
Magnificent jet fighter machines. I would prefer the vertical takeoff and landing capability that the old Harrier has combined with supersonic combat maneuvers. Concerning flying saucer/ doughnut design, these aircraft will have better cargo handling use for long flights and landing everywhere without the need of large airports and long landing strips. Aircraft manufacturers have the challenge to bring those flying saucer drones to full sized cargo/passenger aircraft. We can bring the future to reality today. Thanks.
Of course. Maybe, maybe. Very probably.🤝👍
2+ years later and still no flying saucers shown in the intro.
When they were talking about pilots being the issue, I thought they were going to talk about drones. This show is so old they werent even talking about remote piloting or drones.

"Five years work and four million dollars" I can build you a 90 mph 250 class quad copter from scratch with GPS and FPV in one afternoon for under $100.
Made in 1998... No wonder it all seemed so dated. With references to Concord still flying and that guys laptop was as thick as a house brick )))
Yep, its hilarious
Holy shit I remember seeing this on Discovery Wings back in 2001 when I was in the 6th grade, and it was like my favorite show. It’s funny how like the F-22 is the only thing shown here that came to fruition. Everything else shown has been canceled or is vaporware.
I'm ok
Passive Stable flight and turn on a dime ability should be the design focus - and go from there... With safe controlled gliding landing upon full engine shutdown / failure as a secondary design. Gyrocopter designs are good for short city to city hops.
The same design as drones will be the future of flying cars. Several fans enclosed in meshed intake and outflow to provide lift, computers to aid flight and stability and navigation. If it comes to it, they will undoubtedly be electric, so an engine of the same size that is commonly used in model cars/planes can drive an alternator or two to kick in and provide emergency power if necessary to enable the pilot to find a safe place to land. That generator can also provide additional power for longer flights if it runs constantly. Such a tiny engine generates negligable emissions and uses very little fuel, so a gallon or two could fly you around the world.
Awesome, many thanks for uploading, loved it and cant wait to see the next generation advance
Wonderful, I appreciate this information.
Love these old documentaries.
What would be fascinating would be a plane capable of moving through the air like a simple bird with flexible dynamic wings, powered by the movement of its own wings against the wind, rather then by trust of an helix or a turbine, that would be a very good field of development for the Artificial Intelligence to be applied on, rather than bringing an automaton to comptience intelligent live, I say that because I see birds fly an their performance in the sky is impressive I have always imagined this kind of maneuverability in a fighter plane
I will look at it more as a transportation type subway
We will still be talking about creating flying cars 100 years from now.

What was omitted from mention was that the pilot of the M2F2 was worried about a helicopter chase plane that he felt was too close during landing- the actual crash was caused by the pilot making a radical maneuver to avoid the helicopter, causing the M2 to roll violently and become uncontrollable. I attended a briefing from the pilots of the M2F2 and the HL10 with films of their flight. and worked at Northrop, the company that built these craft. The group I worked in was very involved in Space Shuttle research. In the film makers defense, the helicopter story may not have been general knowledge at that time.
I think the footage at 23:00 was the very same footage used at the beginning of the Six Million Dollar man tv series....
The swordsman in Raiders of the Lost Ark was master of the situation, showing off his moves until Indiana Jones simply, & very casually, shot him from a distance. It is easy to imagine a similar situation. A Sukhoi showing off it’s dogfighting moves while a Lockheed Martin F-35 casually launches a long range air to air missile from afar! Need I say more!
I’ve always thought that “runways” were and are such an archaic idea
I saw the black widow F-23 in the outdoor break area at it's factory being used as a sun shade while waiting to be moved. It gets hot in El Segundo.
33:02 in the video the design of that size carrying up to 1000 passengers, will never come to be because as it is today, some airplanes have to make a flight with empty seats which is not good for business can you imagine having to fill 1000 seats, were you mite see something like this is, if in the future people are not allowed pick and choose when they want to go here and there at a moment's notice for pollution reasons if the airport , said there will be two flights today, leaving at A and maybe one at B , and then you might get a thousand people being at the airport an hour or two in advance and have one or maybe two huge flight quantity of people permitting instead of loads of small ones with planes that are not even completely full at times? Something along them lines is the only way that would work today.
I just arrived here from my travels back through the Space Time Continuum.....is this what they call the Model " T's "
No, these are what were known as 'remote controlled' aircraft.
This video is old as dirt lol. I recorded this on VHS when I was a teenager! It's still awesome though :)
That means you're still a baby, this video is not so ancient..
@@tenzinsangpo2221 Lol, well let's just say it's old enough for a 38 year old.
If u had a missiel (cruse) just flying along, headed for it's thick metal target. U could have a proximity sencer to hit boost at a max damage distance and ZOOM right thue!!
Cypher- would be great for search and rescue ,finding lost hikers or lost children in a wilderness !
Yes that would be good,but you and I both know that is not the true purpose,drones can do this now,but dropping bombs on villages,and wedding celebration is more to them,
It would also be great to increase constant monitoring of all your actions 24/7. Big Brother is watching you.
When I was a kid I remember watching about the YF-22. I was so excited about it. The F-22 is so advanced but due to the cost of the aircraft (maintenance/flight hours/production/parts...the whole shebang) America won't mass produce what I believe is the most advanced fighter in the world. Instead we get the F-35, which focuses technological supremacy vs performance supremacy. But still, the F-22 is the bad bitch.
@Megan Cummings no kidding? That seems like a huge waste. Something our government would certainly do.
This is more of a “aircraft of the future” from the 60’s thru the 90’s. Many of these designs have long been obsolete.
Considering how old this is I bet many assumed that the aircraft featured here would surely be around by 2021.
1:36 Oh wow, this is pretty accurate, what is it? Yeah yeah, keep saying it's old and whatever, does someone knows what it is? Kind of what to dig into it.
Looks like a weird vtol system
"In the future, this video from 2014 may be recommended to people"
It's one hell of away to find out that we all need each other Love and Peace to all see on the other side Of Covid/ 19 Keep well and wear your mask and we all can get there soon Kevout xxx
lol I was about to say this video must be kinda old because I've already seen the mini dragonfly drones.
I've been followed by one in California and in Tennessee in 2000 and 2006 I was afraid to take one home the G-men would have broke into the home and searched everything to get it back
There was a little dragonfly toy - thing back in 2009, black dragonfly wings and tiny camera head. It moved and almost looked like a dragonfly, except for the rectangular body containing the battery, RC electronics, and camera. I would imagine someone built more advanced / tactical / professional version since then... but Quad-Copters and rotor drones took over the market and sales $$$. Perhaps the rotor drones are easier and cheaper to manufacture ?
This is this is the first time I've told anybody about this and people actually believe me and had similar experiences this is fascinating
a hummingbird is also what ive heard. how a humming bird does almost figure 8s with its wings that are flexible. Can fly forward, backwards, hover etc, all 3 axis and hover
I have video of them here in California. "Drones and dragonflies" on KZhead! This is old news. I'm not even into this stuff.
Everyone digs the Ekranoplan, but it was obsolete the day it flew. It wasn't designed to carry Marines, it was supposed to dash out and launch stand-off missiles at aircraft carriers, maybe land targets. In that era, being low = being safe, but look-down radars became common, and being low/fast helped little. It would have been a painfully easy target for an F-14.
20:30 - well... basic physics tell me, that an extra move of that wing upwards produces a counter-action on the body - downward... so - ok - air pressure etc, but there are also other forces and factors
and btw - oh, what a discovery! ;-)
I was never really impressed by the "higher" aspect of flying. If they can get me from Miami to Seattle in under an hour and do it at 100 ft, AGL, I am good with that.
Friction
Yeah, you need a vacuum chamber, a material that wont burn up, or go really high up.
Actually, there are aircraft in the inventory today that can do it in 2 hrs, and for that trip, I'd be flexible, two hours from Miami to Seattle is OK, and they can do it at sea level. All I need to do is get ahold of an F-15 it can make the trip in 2.03 hours, at 1650 mph.
Altitude is added safety. More time to glide, more options.
@@jonweiss4223 Bullshit. F-15 is well under 1000 mph at sea level. It makes no sense to feel safer at lower altitude. Altitude is a pilots best friend when something goes wrong.
"Some day you"ll be able to hop in your laser ship and in 10 seconds you are at escape velocity. " Then days later the cleaning crew will finish removing your splattered corpses from the back wall. Ignoring air friction, Thats 116 times the force of gravity.
+Dave LeBlanc Yup, the crew will have a nasty job, as the passengers will be smeared into jelly. Dreams, but dreamers without knowledge of the laws of physics!
Splat! It does seem dangerous to fly people in that sort of contraption. How stable would the laser light be after constant use? The basic idea and technology itself have the potential for certain other commercial and industrial uses, just not commercial flight. Construction crews and toy makers I'm sure would love something like this.
+Quantum Leap They wouldn't splat if instead of pushing the craft at high speeds from the back, the craft fell toward an gravity well generated in the direction of travel. Then the passengers and the craft would all be moving at the same rate. To slow down or stop movement, you would just modulate the position of the gravity well in relation to the craft.
+Dave LeBlanc kittke only my wiener can withstand those forces
+50kT Damn! And I thought I was the only one with this idea! In fact, my idea dates from long ago, when I learned of black holes .... and imagined a somehow directionable black hole pulling a spaceship behind at quasiluminic speeds. But oh well ....
Not stop my eyes.Amazing
What about flying saucers working off the ether & utilising anti-grav propulsion? That really would be the holy grail of all forms of future travel!👍🛸🍺🍻😷😁👍
