This engine reminds me a lot of how rocket engines really push the limits of metallurgy. They both have to use special materials and plumbing methods in order to not burn themselves up.

When you are monitoring 5 different radios, at all the time. Anything is possible. Especially when you hear it from the pilot of the SR71, at talk at Livermore Research Lab. Look it up! And see who’s BS or not.

Grain filter over DCS. Nice try zoomer trash

I hope to make another trip to the Air Zoo soon, I haven’t been back in almost 2 years.

One word, Iran.

At this point in the war, most German skilled pilots were killed, and those that remained had little training and flight time. They were easy prey for the experienced Allied pilots.

Air Force girl pilots back then ? News to me !!!!!!!!!!!

Am I allowed to touch only the tip of the nose?

Sweden doesn't only make safe cars but also safe planes

All reverse engineered stuff - But they're way more advanced at this now. Don't ask me.

Lol, the old addage of how many monkeys to change a lightbulb. I wonder how many thousands of years weve had an excess of people standing around watching someone else work

Two of those massive behemoth engines. Each engine xpanding 6"in length and 2" in diameter at cruising speed. Mind blowing 😮

This is the most comprehensive and informative video on the German pulse jets that I have ever Seen and heard . Your masterful knowledge and excellent presentation was a pleasure to watch. What an incredible, revolutionary device. You are right, all other accounts of the pulse jet i hear are like, "they just run out of gas and fall." Lol Thank you, sir.

that screw is in the nose of the f-15 too

When I flew training missions on the RC-135, the pilot would tune in to CB radio frequencies with the call sign Big Bird and screw with people.

I agree with all he said.

However did they manage, with pounds, inches, Fahrenheit, psi etc

The still fly in smaller scales in the rc world!!😃👍

The poor bastards. A few weeks later, the war was over. Was there a code of honor not to kill parachutist pilots?

wow,.

Go back to your legos

Heavy stuff man,. real heavy.

There is already a faster plane, we just have no idea what it is.

And thats why we all cant go past the current Mach limits ........."No nitrogen gas",..........can now see why they went Electromagnetic engines

my great great grandfather worked at Lockheed Martin and was in the group designing this amazing aircraft

You can thank AIPAC/Israeli lobby for heavily lobbying/influencing the decision to destroy all F14 airframes… They went over and beyond to make sure no spares ever went to Iran, a country that only has problems with U.S. due to our unwavering support for Israel.

Excellent, Pumping 🌹🌹🌹

I am not even an American and feeling proud on this human engineering excellence, men is a real national treasure I hope government rewarded him generously

Without super computers!!! Just incredible talent to create this beast and ballz of steel to test it. Epic epic epic!!

Time to share we got better tech now

Perfect aircraft for Yeager and Pokryshkin.

I went there with my grandma

Very cool. Is that one that survived WW2?

The steel alloy he mentions sounds like AISI 4130 or 4340.

Thoguth the F111 engine was big, this is huge.

Badass! How did the tornado affect you guys?

I’m more impressed with the massive fuel supply plane that can connect up to top there tanks up at 2000 mph

Makes me respect our military even more.

But what it still fails to grasp..... Is that it misses. It ain't a hittile!!!!

Lol anyone thinking that holds the wings on is an idiot. The nose cone is completely hollow!!!

But in war thunder, one burst vaporizes any jet unfortunate to end up in your sights

Thank you for this

The mentioning of the teamwork can't be understated. . . . And they are likely still being flown, sparingly, because they still fit a niche that otherwise cannot be fulfilled with the current tech; or they are validating systems that various sub contractor channels were guaranteed over an extended span of time. I just love that at least a few are still taking to the skies.

In 1986, I drove my 67 Camaro from Tucson to Seattle. Several miles outside of Tonopah, my fanbelt broke. I limped into town and just missed the auto parts store being open. Next door to the parts store was a bar and I thought it unusual for a bar in the middle of nowhere to have a bunch of newer model cars parked outside, including a new Camaro. I went inside the bar, noticed several patrons of military bearing (which again I found odd), explained my predicament, and the owner of the Camaro said I could have his spare fanbelt. I put his spare on in the parking lot, offered to pay for the belt, thanked him, and was on my way. Years later I found out that F-117s were there - it was quite the ah ha moment.

Wouldn’t Russia like to get hold of that engine and china

It looks so batman... 😊

Where’s the window wipers? And can you wind them up and down?

Unreal. Just unreal.

HOLY COW ...IMAGINE HOW FAST THAT MACHINE COULD PLOW THE BACK FORTY ACRES.😮

Fantastic! What kind of crazy person would engage in that type of flying? Plenty of old, bold pilots.
