As an aerospace nerd- canards suck for stability. Their big claim to fame is that they are a more efficient way of lift generation, as rear mounted horizontal stabilizers usually generate negative lift, canards generate positive lift. However, they tend to be extremely unstable and simply aren’t great at radar cross section reduction. They make excellent sense for a fourth gen aircraft- it will be more maneuverable and able to climb more rapidly. They make terrible sense on a 5th gen style, where your primary goal is stealth, as you are generally increasing your frontal cross section and potentially your horizontal cross section as well
As far as the stability goes, Thats a feature of design not of the part themselves. Take the F16 for example, It was designed to require the Horizontal Stabilizers to generate lift instead of using said lift to make the aircraft fly level, Where as the typical design(as you mentioned) has the Stabs use lift to fly level. The F16 was intentionally designed in this way to allow for better maneuverability. What im getting at here is, it doesnt matter what the typical design calls for with canards/horizontal Stabilizers, it matters how the engineers designed them to function, as evidenced by the F16 an intentionally being designed as "Unstable". Final note, cause itll bug me if i dont. Aerospace deals with the engineering of flight in space. You should have used Aeronautical instead, which deals with engineering of flight in atmosphere. Was my major before i dropped out and went back into IT(Aerospace Engineering that is)
I feel like people don't quite understand.... when 22 says "he's the most dangerous thing to fly since the Cretaceous period", he's not talking about the Dinosaurs, he's talking about the Asteroid the wiped out all the Dinosaurs.
To be fair, that didn't exactly "fly" as much as it "dropped like a rock." More like how Grandpa Buff is going to be by the time he's given his final upgrade before his retirement in the year 3155.
Quetzalcoatlus isn't a dinosaur, it's a pterosaur, which are also reptiles, but are a separate group. Pterodactyl is probably the most famous of the pterosaurs. The "Lock Ness Monster" looking reptiles aren't dinosaurs either, they're called Plesiosaurs. I assume Quetzalcoatlus is what he was referring to because it's the largest flying organism that ever is known to have existed, and had a 40 foot wingspan.
@@WinVistenThat's all well and good, but Raptor was referring to the cyborg T. Rex with jetpack, laser cannon, and sidewinders that he drew in flight school.

Check again...canards have radar cross-section about the size of an F4 Phantom. The root of the canard is the problem; where it joins to the aircraft is a sharp corner. This makes a very efficient 'corner reflector'. Some angles of the canard are worse than others, but there is no stealth for Viggens, either.
Storm chaser here; the April 26 tornado event was a fucking miracle. On that day, we had numerous mile wide tornados and one possible two miler, several EF4, possibly EF5, strength tornados, many of which hit cities (Omaha, Nebraska caught two). Zero deaths. One severe injury. I expected a double digit death count (I was watching on radar as I was unable to chase that day). April 27 had a lot less tornados and those that did touch down were weaker, but they occurred at night and were a lot more rain wrapped (thanks low level jet) and thus was a lot less of a miracle and is the reason Oklahoma is currently in a state of emergency
@@jameskarg3240 yeah on the 27th you all didn't get much but one cyclic supercell just kept dropping tor after tor on the 26th. I hate chasing squalls because if they do drop a tornado it tends to have a lot less warning and it's a lot more likely to be rainwrapped but I'd def prefer a big squall line because they're a lot less likely to produce a really strong tornado like any of the several tornados from this outbreak
@@MultiMachinegunner nah width doesn't necessarily correspond to strength. Some of the strongest tornados are only a few hundred feet while there have been mile wide tornados barely capable of EF2 damage. This one was very likely capable of EF4 and MAYBE EF5 damage but fortunately Omaha wasn't hit anywhere near as hard as it could have been
@@tfk_001 Honestly: you all DO NOT get the credit you deserve. No joke, your crazy, but you know your limits and use your skill for informative analytics that have made unprecidented leaps in finding what makes storms tick. So, thank you for what you do.

Thanks for the explanation. The military got even weirder _after_ I left? "Man Love Thursdays." Gotta be influenced by the kiddie-freak Kuwaiti pop music, little boys singing about their adult male lover. I thought we should've backed Iraq against Kuwait over Saud, in exchange for Sadaam putting his murderous rapist sons on trial--see how THAT changes politics in the region!
@@omarrp14 They will have relations with men and boys. Much like the catholic churches thinking back in the day a young boy is thought to be pure and without sin. Then to add to the problem you have a bunch of men growing up in this type of life and thusly see no problem with perpetuating the abuse. The thought of "I went through it, and I turned out alright." is rampant, so even with people that wouldn't gravitate toward children will do so because it's what they know.
My friend lost his farm during the tornadoes that hit Nebraska, lots of trees and barns destroyed and many houses were leveled. We also got some hail which caused lots of damages mainly to cars and roofs. RIP to those who lost their lives, and prayers to the families mourning and those who lost everything.
funny thing, the leo2a6 they have is ANCIENT at this point to the 2a7v, 2a8 and the panther(new one). Let them have it, we don’t need it. It will be outdated even more when German engineers get access to the new military budget. Still better than T-14 Armata.
The only platforms the T-14 threatens are the ones active when the first gen Abrams rolled off the line any models after that one will pretty much laugh at it. Which means they are about 30 years behind in the tank arms race.
Plus due to the circumstances tanks are being used more as high mobility artillery rather than direct combat, so they're more than enough. Only if air superiority could be achieved, more advanced tanks would make sense.

😂Thursday night in Iraq! That was savage, never mind Neosporin that burn will require an air ambulance to the nearest ICU burn Ward! Awesome video thanks!
@LegendaryCollektor it's known as Man Love Thursday. According to some Imam, Allah is too busy to notice men having gay sex on Thursdays, so it turns into Brokeback Mountain in places like Iraq and Afghanistan. Not joking, its a thing. 🤣
I was curious about the F35 deal that had been mentioned, and found this from a few articles: it should be noted that an UAE official said and I quote "The United States remains the UAE's PREFERRED provider for advanced defense requirements and discussions for the F-35 may be re-opened in the future." the official also added that there were discussions to "address mutual defense security conditions for the acquisition". So, even when working in close proximity to China, people prefer the US when it comes to equipment. You gotta love that name brand recognition.

Not exactly related, but cool fact about Tyrannosaurus Rex is that it could one arm curl about 400-450 lbs. per arm. Still doesn't mean that the Chinese aircraft isn't as useless as an abelisaurid's arms in a fight (yes they are even smaller than tyrannosaur arms in proportion to their bodies).

April 27 had a lot less tornados and those that did touch down were weaker, but they occurred at night and were a lot more rain wrapped (thanks low level jet) and thus was a lot less of a miracle and is the reason Oklahoma is currently in a state of emergency
A TWO-miler? Might as well mark it as an EF6 (I know there isn't one on the scale, but seriously, if I learned anything from the movie Twister... 😅😅)
Its been kinda ugly in Texas too. Most of its NorthEast though thankfully. We just have the tailside of storms with squall-lines
@@jameskarg3240 yeah on the 27th you all didn't get much but one cyclic supercell just kept dropping tor after tor on the 26th. I hate chasing squalls because if they do drop a tornado it tends to have a lot less warning and it's a lot more likely to be rainwrapped but I'd def prefer a big squall line because they're a lot less likely to produce a really strong tornado like any of the several tornados from this outbreak
@@MultiMachinegunner nah width doesn't necessarily correspond to strength. Some of the strongest tornados are only a few hundred feet while there have been mile wide tornados barely capable of EF2 damage. This one was very likely capable of EF4 and MAYBE EF5 damage but fortunately Omaha wasn't hit anywhere near as hard as it could have been
@@tfk_001 Honestly: you all DO NOT get the credit you deserve. No joke, your crazy, but you know your limits and use your skill for informative analytics that have made unprecidented leaps in finding what makes storms tick. So, thank you for what you do. God willing we dont see anything like El Rino agsin
Raptor at the end straight up channeling Rorschach from The Watchmen. Classic.
The Thursday joke was awesome, glad you explained what canards are.
F-22 Always has the hardest lines
He does but so does Grandpa Buff.
Because he snorts crack for breakfast and downs enough white monster to fly to the edge of the milky way
@clearwood_. Yes you're right, Grandpa Buff has the best lines. The f-22 comes in second.
Damn, Raptor taking Roast Game lessons from Grandpa Buff? Because that rip into the J-20 was a thing of beauty.
Well grandpa buff is obviously his mentor, i love the story time about how buff was the entire gulf war 🤣 the kid is so starstruck
Oh God, I needed these laughs so bad. This is the only news channel i’ll ever watch again. I crack up just thinking about it.
Love your videos. They make my day!
I haven't thought about Man Love Thursday for more than 10 years. I about pissed myself with that joke.
Thanks for the explanation. The military got even weirder _after_ I left?
"Man Love Thursdays."
Gotta be influenced by the kiddie-freak Kuwaiti pop music, little boys singing about their adult male lover. I thought we should've backed Iraq against Kuwait over Saud, in exchange for Sadaam putting his murderous rapist sons on trial--see how THAT changes politics in the region!
Thursdays are a dark day for a weak stomach in Iraq. 😂😂😂😂 At least the goats get a day off.
Please explain!
@omarrp14 Let's just say it isn't the kind of NSFW you actually want to see.
@@omarrp14 They will have relations with men and boys. Much like the catholic churches thinking back in the day a young boy is thought to be pure and without sin. Then to add to the problem you have a bunch of men growing up in this type of life and thusly see no problem with perpetuating the abuse. The thought of "I went through it, and I turned out alright." is rampant, so even with people that wouldn't gravitate toward children will do so because it's what they know.
Jesus the Thursday joke killed me and I love the kid. I can't wait until the day they let him out to play because the videos after are gonna be FIRE
My friend lost his farm during the tornadoes that hit Nebraska, lots of trees and barns destroyed and many houses were leveled. We also got some hail which caused lots of damages mainly to cars and roofs. RIP to those who lost their lives, and prayers to the families mourning and those who lost everything.
funny thing, the leo2a6 they have is ANCIENT at this point to the 2a7v, 2a8 and the panther(new one). Let them have it, we don’t need it. It will be outdated even more when German engineers get access to the new military budget. Still better than T-14 Armata.
The only platforms the T-14 threatens are the ones active when the first gen Abrams rolled off the line any models after that one will pretty much laugh at it. Which means they are about 30 years behind in the tank arms race.
Plus due to the circumstances tanks are being used more as high mobility artillery rather than direct combat, so they're more than enough. Only if air superiority could be achieved, more advanced tanks would make sense.
@@moteroargentino7944 F16s confirmed are on the way to Ukraine. With SEAD capabilities being superior to what both sides have right now, that means Ukraine might get the skies cleared up again
@@chemislife30 Years? the 2a5 should be younger than that
@@joshuasitzema9920 sead isn't easy, its not just launching agm 88 missiles at s400 sites, mig 29s can do that.
air defense batteries are vert heavily defended, wacth hypops beating the s400 video to see why. You'll need to amass a bunch of sead aircrafts as well as launch decoys ect to overwhelm russian air defenses. They won't have any ew assets so that'll make it much harder.
Optimism isn't something you can win wars with. F16s are great but Ukraine lost the tactical initiative.
“Skittle hair people” always a classic 😂
THANK YOU! Validated the feelings I've had about canards since I was a teenager.
as a femboy, and a huge military aircraft nerd, I laughed at "cannards are gay"
“It’s like Thursday not exist in that part of the world anymore” 🤣
Yup. I fell over laughing at that part!
2:44 ⬅️fact!
The fact that F22 now taking lines from Rorschach makes his intercept line even creepier.
Didn't get the Thursday joke, sadly, but the canard joke had me rolling on the ground. Also loved that Ay ya! Reminds me of Uncle from Jackie Chan's Adventures.
This is my new favorite. Well done sir.
0:57 They are Strategically Transporting Equipment to Alternate Locations
Well, with the abilities we have, we can arrange an ICE to help them out with the tear down. (Involuntary Conversion of Equipment).
Ooh, i love these things, git half a dozen on my shirt right now. One of my favorites is from the rocket crowd tho.
Rapid Unplanned/Unscheduled Disassembly (It blew up).
Or Lithobraking (it crashed into the ground... and stopped!)
@thefatelectrician
Not TOO strategically, or they'd've removed the lojack.
The kid REALLY wants China to try and intercept him.
The kid REALLY wants ANYONE to try and intercept him. He is NOT picky on who tries. He just wants to be fed.

ROTFLMAO... Thursday! That was priceless!
Dude, love the Rorschach comment at the end. THAT was GOLD
The F-22 is Rorschach now,______ that is SO cool.
...always has been.
Mixed with Dirty Harry
"What do you see?" "*CANARDS*"
Love it when the kid gets to talk shit. Just wish he was allowed to back it up.
Yeah I am on the same side as him and I am scared.
His day will come soon enough...
"And will be until about two years after mine came out."
Man, this always delivers!
Dude. Your videos are becoming actual news for many people who don’t know how to do their own research. Admittedly some of the thing you hit on I do have to look up but I think that’s the true value of your content. Keep rocking what you started and don’t fuck it up by changing.
😂Thursday night in Iraq! That was savage, never mind Neosporin that burn will require an air ambulance to the nearest ICU burn Ward!
Awesome video thanks!
I dont get it
I might not get the joke, but I know I'll probably never get the answer due to CZcams shenanigans.
I'll still comment for boosting though.
@@LegendaryCollektor"Man Love Thursday"
@LegendaryCollektor it's known as Man Love Thursday. According to some Imam, Allah is too busy to notice men having gay sex on Thursdays, so it turns into Brokeback Mountain in places like Iraq and Afghanistan. Not joking, its a thing. 🤣
I was curious about the F35 deal that had been mentioned, and found this from a few articles: it should be noted that an UAE official said and I quote "The United States remains the UAE's PREFERRED provider for advanced defense requirements and discussions for the F-35 may be re-opened in the future." the official also added that there were discussions to "address mutual defense security conditions for the acquisition". So, even when working in close proximity to China, people prefer the US when it comes to equipment. You gotta love that name brand recognition.
A WATCHMAN Rorschach reference....nice work HLC!!!!
Man-love Thursday is a wild thing when you learn about Iraqi culture, then you notice the homies locking fingers
That skittles people line got me dying😂😂😂😂
although I know whom the joke is aimed at, I LOVE sour skittles.
@@forexed8948 I'm going to start calling them out as Sour Skittles now. 😁
@@botspotter8379 They really are like the candy because of how they demand you address them how they want to be addressed.

Afghan vet, "Thursday" joke has me chuckling grimly.
Please explain
@@aredjayc2858just asked my vet friend, 🤢 you don't want to know ...
@@aredjayc2858it apparently means man love Thursday..
As a vet who never deployed to the Middle East, could you explain the context?
@@aredjayc2858 our Corpsman called it "Good Thursday, Bad Friday" since Friday would have a flood of locals coming to our medical people to suture up torn sphincters on young boys. I only heard about it from my docs. If it was "man love" Thursday, I can't say but it would not surprise me.
Kid don't rant much, but when he does, he digs deep. Breath
Honestly The Kid quoting Rorschach really works.
"I'm not trapped in here with you. YOU'RE TRAPPED IN HERE WITH *ME* !"
Fucking love Rorschach.
Depression never goes away, and you cover stressful news. Remember to give yourself positive distractions, reach out to friends and family, and stay strong brother.
Slava Ukraine.
You know, we joke about how frustrated the F-22 is, can you imagine how frustrated the actual pilots are?
They fly one of the most advanced aircraft ever built and have to stay on the bench.
The weather joke had me as a weather geek❤😂
Skittle-haired people - gonna borrow that one.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 snork!
I'll say it again. Watching your comedic news brings calm and laughter to my life.😂👍
3:06 - did you just do a Uncle Roger impression there? I love it!
Spent all day in the hospital for my mom… thanks for the 4 minutes of relief
Damn sorry to hear that man hope she gets better soon
From Oklahoma, still kicking & still got up at 4 AM to go to work today.
"the whole midwest"
can confirm
The Chinese accent is coming along! Also the Mexican one isn't half bad 😅 my grandma talked just like that, and most of my neighbors when they speak English sound that way too. You're growing ❤
Raptor has been hanging with Buff I see. Handing out flames 🔥 😂
Speak the facts 22. Put that 22 from dollar store wish in its place.
keep them coming HLC! Been following you since the beginning and you never missed on any of yuor videos
Your China and Russia personas always puts a smile on my face. The Kid is a given.
I actually had to go back and rewatch that part about Thursdays cause I can't believe you made that journal.😂😂😂
Persian Excursion Sailor grinning at the Thursday mention.

European aircraft are garbage.
@@benn454Eh, don't forget those aren't 5th Gen stealth aircraft. The disadvantages of canards aren't really a problem.for them.
LMAO, when I hit the Google Translate and translated this, it says "Ducks are Gay" guess canard must mean duck?
@@geodkyt As long as Euros remember that the USAF plays wargames with one arm and one leg tied behind its back.
Not deployed but i worked the camp
Thursday nights oohh boy
...see i would talk on it more but no one ever belived me, so glad someone siad it i was starting to think i was going crazy.
I learn so many new things about other cultures when watching this and then looking up the jokes.
Just... damn.
LOL
Uncle from Jackie Chan Adventures?
I approve.
Lol. I thought he got inspired by South Park.
@@haven_lady675 Aiyah is an Uncle thing, but maybe you are right.
@haven_lady675 Uncle did that a lot in Jackie Chan Adventures which I think it was due to due Cantonese Accent.
Not sure if Liu Kim did the same thing or had the same accent.
That Chinese voice was spot on lol
F22 is just "insane batman" at this point and i love it😂
Going to need help with that "Thursday" joke.
Man love Thursday. It’s a thing.
Many men in the country practice "Man Love Thursdays", where on Thursdays, they will, you know. Love other men.
I fucking spit out my monster at that joke
@@gbear34 wtf lol
It's man crush Monday. Woman crush Wednesday.
No Lie, you nailed the accent. That sounds exactly like my old boss that I am convinced is spying for China.
little T-rex arm style wings....
I am DYING over here!!!!
Not exactly related, but cool fact about Tyrannosaurus Rex is that it could one arm curl about 400-450 lbs. per arm. Still doesn't mean that the Chinese aircraft isn't as useless as an abelisaurid's arms in a fight (yes they are even smaller than tyrannosaur arms in proportion to their bodies).
I didn't know that about the T-Rex. Thank you!
That tornado was a bitch, had 2 close to the house could watch from the back porch
I got a 4am wake up alarm for tornadoes last night here in Texas. Nothing happened but have to say mother nature ain't playing this year.
I was driving between Lubbock and Wichita Falls TX and a 1/2 mile diameter tornado came down right on top of my car in Knox TX about 30 miles west of Seymour. Luckily the tornado's winds weren't strong enough to blow my car around. I kept on driving and got away. I don't apologize for going 90 mph to outrun a tornado and I thank the highway patrol for understanding.
@@madisonhasson8981 had 2 forming near bossier city La thankfully nether made it to the ground, still the winds at the head of that storm last night where nasty, and we only got grazed by it, bless the hearts of anyone filling it head on.
Friday was probably one of the biggest nights I regret not taking time off to chase, those were some beautiful storms.
Which one there were like 100 of them lol
