Making a GIANT F-18 with a real JET TURBINE | Sailor VS | U.S. Navy
We made a foam F-18 and put a real turbine engine in it. What could go wrong?
Thanks US Navy for sponsoring this video! Watch the other videos in the #SailorVS series I’m in where I compete against a Naval aviation engine mechanic on a component from a real F-18!

Every other youtuber: RAID Shadow Legends Peter: The Navy Me: "Some new mmo battleship game?" "No, the actual US Navy"
seriously, how do you get sponsored by the actual navy?
nice comment XD
@@forksandpopsticles9183 I wonder
The U.S.N is the best navy on earth, and its history is awsome too, just look at the battle of samar for a great read :)
Yeah, I think William Osman got sponsored by the navy too. Is the navy just looking for crazy KZhead engineers to sponsor??
I just love the “today we’re sponsored by the US Navy” he acted like it was a normal thing
I guess its normal but one day its probaly gonna be the US marine corps

@@matteopro2 He didn't get "banned by the FAA", an FAA investigator just followed up on a complaint someone filed about Peter's ultralight being dangerous. The complaint was found to be frivolous and was closed with no further action.
FBI: We will watch your career with interest.
William not great interest?
The Polite gamer yea I forgot that part
William happens
Nice
Lamp! Productions good point
For the fuel system within the tank. You should use the same system they use in most cars. It's an absorbent bag or layer at the bottom of the tank. So when you roll or fly upside down you can do so for a short period of time before losing the engine
You just get us so much more interested in Engineering !!! From Physics, to Chemistry, to Rocket Science, to Thermo Dynamics.... You're an Inspiration Sir. Thank You for the amazing content !
“It’s going to be pretty expensive if it crashes.” I think that’s a relatable problem for the navy.
You are right but it would be more of a problem for the navy i-i mean for the the not real F-18
lol

I remember playing with little rubber-band and balsa planes and thinking they were amazing. This is just beyond cool!
Outstanding project there friend.....it’s really refreshing to see the Navy sponsoring your cause. Young innovators like yourself contributes immensely to ideas that can be helpful in technology. I too served, and retired from the USN, working around F-18 Aircraft, and the model you made, was pretty nice considering the turbine being located on top of the aft end. Great job sir.....keep up the great content 😎⚓️⚓️🇺🇸🇵🇭🇺🇸🇵🇭🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏👍

The navy is coming up with some interesting recruiting methods
and they're not good at it, this videos was scripted as hell and I felt like listening to some NPC
@@TranceMatzl15 THAT'S what their voices kept reminding me of! NPC's in just about every game I've ever seen.
Staatsmann You’re probably not in their target demographic...or anywhere close to it.
Nah they weren't talking fluidly or naturally
_In the NAVY_ You can build foam board F18's!
Love the videos, keep up the hard work love that you included a service member all ways here to support you.
Glad you are working with the NAVY bro, You are doing great!!!!
Two things: 1. I would really like to know more about that face cut. 2. The process is the biggest part of the channel. This felt rushed and scripted.
Exactly my feelings lol
Looks a lot like someone said don't make it too long or people won't watch the whole thing. I mean just look at that army guy lol
It did huh
I have to agree, it was too slick and rushed, id have loved a 5part series looking slower and more detail, the quick cuts were a shame i guess thats what happens when the navy asks you to make one video you have to cram it in one video :( great plane though
Yeah. No electro-swing? No dogs? No explanation of the freaking jet engine? I don't like to use the term, but this really felt like a sell-out video. It just felt like Peter turned into a talking head for this video with none of the charm that makes his channel great. I hope he puts the jet engine into another build so we can get real Peter's opinion on it.
The FAA looking at the navy just like BRUH
“Hey why did you let him do this” “Yes”
we made some calls
America's Navy bruh
Hahaha I can’t believe they actually replied to your comment. That’s pretty cool of them.
@@americasnavy How did Caleb come up with that MacGyver style heat shield so fast? Naval intuition?
Over the top project! Thanks for filming it.
“Thank you for the us navy for sponsoring this video” never thought I would hear those words come out of a KZheadr.
‘The navy’s sponsoring our video Sam’ ‘Wow, what’s the budget then’ ‘Billions’
Where has Sam been the last few videos? I think a lack of Sam is the problem
@@davis4555 must've turned into a ware wolf or something
Sees 'Navy' at inbox *SAM GET THE FOIL, WE'RE MAKIN' A F-18*
Billions? 🧐 No, sir, but you can't put a price tag on fun.
America's Navy I can and it’s the hourly operating cost of a f18
Navy guy: “Wow Peter, Great moves. Keep it up. Proud of you!”
Cuz he was picked by the chain of command and he REALLY didn't want to. Lol I've seen that attitude before.
He was probs forces to do it
He sounded sarcastic
H3h3
Well it’s true, we are really proud of him.
I love how you scaled it up!✊✈
I approve'a the Navy's approval'a this here! SET IT ALL ON FIRE
Him: I build tanks US Navy: Lets sponsor him
Next up: swimming tonks
Lol no
Lol
ah yes they have youtubers to do recruitment video now.
Everybody gangsta till someone mixes up a raid shadow legends ad with an ad of the government.
It's pathetic.
It's a trap
Respect to the navy for being cool like always
It was nice to see the US Navy get involved this way.
It's so obvious how much influence the sponsor had in this video. That must have been a really good paycheck lol. Still a good video
Yeah, but they took it all back in taxes...
It ruined it for me.....
I mean it is sorta corny but who wouldn’t do that for a certain price. He’s gotta fund the projects somehow so idc what sponsors he gets as long as I get free content
but navy's collab with william last year was hilarious kzhead.info/sun/pNpvo9GEnoytiWg/bejne.html kzhead.info/sun/jduvnMiAbGirrWw/bejne.html script of this video is looking too much staged
Ansil Naseem I think william just is naturally better in front of a camera. I feel like peter was nervous and sort of forcing his personality here.
Some time later: " this video is sponsored by the US Navy AGAIN. Today we are gonna try to add weapons at our F18"
Please do it. That would be amazing!

You can tell he’s using the navy budget on his production lmao
video chats look HD and proffesionally edited
@@renz1013 yeah I picture they're not actually video chats and just edits, feels more like a TV show, but it worked ok
@@Alistair with such a sponsor he was probably handed a strict script to follow by the navy. That just seemed like one of those, idk, where else do you see similar 'calling the professional and asking questions you wouldn't normally' scripted type of stuff?
Doesn't this sponsorship technically mean that Peter is being funded by tax money?
Peter is paid by the people
Yes he is, however this is a really great motivational video that may encourage younger kids to decide on a Navy career. As such this is simply a recruiting expense and totally justified.
So he might be paying himself
@@popman4502 ergo *tax payer dollars...*
I mean, if this is what I'm paying taxes for... Then keep it coming!👍👍

Yeah it was like they didn’t even try to make you think it was real. EDIT, Wow it’s even worse when the dude is commenting on how it’s flying.
I'd say it's rated E for everyone. (It's supposed to be campy lol)
Ikr!

@@americasnavy Don't worry I wanna join the airborne or navy the Hornet is a beauty of a jet and it would be a dream to fly it one day as a 15 year old I don't think that's possible though.
Making something fly , is a dream and dream was made possible by hard work and a sponsor : )
I've been watching Peter my whole life
Sooner or later he’s just gonna be like “building a replica f-22”
“Let’s see if this airplane design really flies”
With stealth capabilities!
I imagine foam and paper has a pretty low RCS. Probably need to work on the baking sheet reflector :-)
Next episode: building an escape vehicle from jail after revealing government secrets
Nah, F-23
I think the increased production value of this vid took away from the cool factor...I was waiting to hear that turbine scream past, but no audio of that--what gives??
bruh i gotta agree, i like how stupid his videos normally are but this felt too "family friendly PG clean"
@@meowfur it had to be because the navy was sponsoring it
yea i agree. i also do not like how they were using a script for the video calls. it takes away from the usual natural style of videos that KZheadrs make.
A Navy PAO (public affairs officer) more than likely had a lot of control over this video
@@chappeah honestly as soon as he posted the video he probably had to hand it over to them... (at least the engine)
This is a better Navy ad than Top Gun. Excellent job. Hmm… what if you attach some solid rocket boosters by the twin turbine exhaust.
The 15 is dope too, and my personal fav the f14 the variable sweep is extremely useful
Everybody a gangsta till he installs missiles on that plane

@@bigfartsaresotasty probably.
Kinda crazy that you flew that, that well. The F-18 is super unstable IRL and requires a computer to make constant corrections. Just kinda cool you can fly such an unstable airframe.
Man, that blue shirt looks good on you!
Great build Peter! Those "videocalls" would look less scripted without the multiple camera angles and all the editing cuts though!
You forget that 80% of people are idiot(enough) to believe pretty much anything
D C it's legit wdym
Exactly
yah i feel like the navy had a hand in the camera operation and editing, they failed at making the 'video calls' not seem faked.
Maybe the Navy guy was looking though a different camera, but it did seem scripted :/ but still pretty cool

this didnt really feel like a peter video
Check the description it's a Navy sponsor video
Yeah it needed to be more trial and error. should of had someone in the navy at the field with an rc going head to head with peter. This felt alittle rushed
I’m sure they pay the big dollars so Peter was up to do what they were asking for. No disrespect to Peter as who wouldn’t. I know I would
Yeah it didn't have anything explode. That is probably why.
@@user-de4cq6uk6l we are not insulting him, just saying that the video lacked oomph

I'm Just imagining peter flying his f18 around a real carrier and landing it on the runway & haveing people's confused faces, as it looks life-size at distance but becomes small up close. would be funny
The navy is gonna have a FIELD DAY with this as a recruitment ad
They already did whaddya mean? Like, it’s literally already a recruitment ad.

@@Swedish_Seahorse it literally was just that
@@stinkopung2914 no it was about the plane
@@HelicopterStudio Yes... but it also is an ad for the US navy (!?) So they required peter to do some acting and so on
Really awesome build thank you
Possible way to make it better? Twin jet engines mounted properly, likely right at the exhaust on the model, vacum cleaner hose from the aircraft's intakes to the actual engines, heatshield and some extra space around the twin rear engines to ensure some level of forced air cooling. Testing would likely require a high speed fan blowing over the aircraft to ensure the engines don't melt the plywood and foam that house the engines.

100% lol
no shit really?
Peter knew that stuff already😂
Is it just me or was the navys reaction and replies were pre recorded
Most likely
its clearly not an actual real time conversation, in the second "call" peter is just recorded with the same camera that they were using, he should be using a phone or a laptop to actually videocall, still imo its obvious enough that its cool, its just storytelling, its true that its pretty ackward and bland
@@extraemontamontes3618 While I believe your interpretation is actually correct, it IS possible to be on an actual Zoom or telephone call while recording video with (and looking at) your high-quality camera.
im just saying how terribly obvious it is
I definitely got an NPC vibe from the navy dude
since you have so much thrust, you could put more foil on the fins in back and some heat foam for resistance to the melting effect
Peter: *makes a literal airplane that can carry a human* also Peter: *uses it to bend foam*

Could we maybe eventually see one with a retreacable landing gear and the proper dual engine and a cockpit that opens up?? That would be sick af
that would cause a lot of issues of room for the engines and also fuel. it would be a massive challenge.
Yeah, but the melting might be a problem. Maybe line the inside with aluminum foil? It’d be pretty logistically messy
@@SirShanova I say put powerful enough engines where you could build the entire engine containment ass'y with sheet metal. That would be dope.

I’m bugged that he didn’t get two engines and put them where they go. Oh well, it’s still EPIC! Oh and if you are seeing this peter, look at the first few replies.
That would've made the plane too heavy, I think
Its still in its trial stages. One: not enough thrust Two: material cant handle the standing loads, let alone kinetic forces that would be applied during operation Three: would add more weight from added components needed to bring it all together

He was most likely given a script of the sort and had to follow it, no matter how idiotic it seems
I mean shouldn't he put some extra effort into the aircraft to house the engine inside the fuselage rather than out in the open? It is sponsored by the US Navy after all. But it wouldn't be possible for a frame made out of styrofoam.
Yea the whole thing was clearly scripted.
It is propaganda shit. It is exactly why I stopped watching tv and went to KZhead. Now the shit followed us here.
