Very cool, and well done. 22 mins is insane.
+Practical Engineering thanks! Heres the other thing I did this weekend.. czcams.com/video/zB4t8YyrUFY/video.html
+Samm Sheperd (SNRS) You're staying busy! Very cool project.
really insane.a plane i build with a 1000mah 3s lipo battery gave me only 5mins timing
you were great man , u had a really successful life , u did wut u loved , got a lot of happiness , and died , the short life u lived waz really beautiful , inspiring and helped a lot of people. rip bru
I want to make one!
i've watched this several times on different occasions to remind myself what true passion is. RIP Samm.
What happened to him?
@@omkarkoti2372 motorcycle accident
Me too man, me too...
This was the first Sam Shepard video I saw.. rip god bless Sam
What?
ParaglidingManiac samm died in a motorcycle accident a few weeks ago, rip
😔
Leo Zeo what?!
Nick Fury look that the latest video on his channel.. it’s his dad explaining what happened.
I watch this every couple of months for motivation when going through build slumps. RIP Samm!
prof: Dude the class is gonna be hard for you with no engineeri h backround
him: wins the competition
yeah he won at the part he had way more practice at what a surprise
professor was warning him that hobby aircraft design doesn't necessarily mean he's good at math which would mean the exams might be hard
@Fester Blats it all comes down to the energy retention capabilities of a planedesign.
@@ErikSeastead Samm died, show a little respect.
I miss him
@@fuzzyboi1721 me too.
Even back then, I wanted to build and fly, and I would watch Samms videos a lot. I recently bought all the electronics that Ill need to make a foamie.
Thank you Samm and Rest in peace.
Being a mechatronic engineering student and rc hobbiest of 5+ years, your video explaining your design process is an incredible inspiration for those who want to take aircraft design to the next level! I've become increasingly curious how one would go about finding the most efficient wing for a variety parameters and behold your video explains the process well. Job bloody well done!
Thanks ;)
the process of deducing the most efficient wing dimensions was fascinating
oooo, deducing...nice word
Samm: you were an engineer's engineer. I come back and watch this video at least once a year for inspiration. I wish you were around for the Golden Age of CZcams aero channels; you were sure to have been one of the best. RIP
Really like your videos Sam! This one is especially interesting to me as I am currently studying in my final year of aerospace engineering in the UK. But like you, I have experimented with aerodynamics and control system before learning the theory behind it. Keep up the excellent videos!
Both of you!
Tom Stanton you are my other favorite tuber keep it up steve california
R.I.P Samm we will miss him alot when i heard about the thing that happened i cried
Bij hij het over het feit. .
He's left us
RIP Samm...through the window of your videos we could see the unmistakeable light of your brilliance and humanity...we will miss you
This is one of my favorite CZcams videos. It really illustrates the aircraft design process really well! I’ve built five versions of this flying wing so far out of depron and foam board. They all flew amazing and are incredibly efficient and light. I get 20-40 minutes out of a 550mah and a 1000mah batterie. It’s Alsace so stable it’s crazy! It’s really to bad he’s no longer with us because he was an inspiration to me early on in my RC plane obsession.
Rip Sam but so happy his channel is still up for everyone to enjoy.
Great job! As an engineer, I really appreciate the effort you put into this video!
The last few days have been painful, Samm... Times like this I really would love to believe in something else, some... After life. 😔
I never met you guy... But you were - and still is - a HUGE inspiration for me. You definitely had a fan here. 😔
Rest in peace, Samm... And, who knows... If there's something... Maybe we can talk some day. 😔
You had such a bright future Samm. I am soo sorry for you and your family.
You left all of us too soon.
You WERE a true engineer. A true pioneer on the forefront of DIY RC vehicles.
Too soon Samm.
To Samm Sr.;
Again, so sorry for the loss. I am much older than Samm, but he was living my dream, and I looked up to him immensely.
great sir.we missed samm.
Very well done video. Thanks for taking the time to share it with a bunch of strangers! I particularly enjoyed the "But... we totally won" portion.
I usually come back to watch ur videos brother. Much love. U made me focus on doing whatever it takes to go and live in the country u were born. U r my inspiration. Hope ur dad sees this comment.
Congrats! 22 minutes is truly a great accomplishment. Well done!
RIP Sam! I admire your los intellect and intuitiveness. Reminding me of the hazards of 2 wheeled crafts I will never ride. Thanks for your contributions to aviation.
Great work, congrats ! I love to see true Engineering like that, you really know what your are talking about, it change from what we can found elsewhere in CZcams 😉
I keep coming back to this video..
RIP Samm, thanks for all of your inspiring videos like this one
Gosh! That was wonderful to an old man just reading the history of the Horten brothers and John Dunne. Engineering is the most wonderful and entertaining way to spend one’s time. An excellent and lucid explanation.
Rest in peace and fly high Samm... it tears my heart knowing that you've passed from this world. You were my inspiration and you will absolutely be missed.
Anyone else keep coming back to this vid even after months
Half of that went over my head but I still love science and engineering. People like you are amazing. Well done mate 😄
Absolutely FANTASTIC video!! Very clear to understand. It's clear you put a lot of work into explaining things visually and that must have taken a lot of time. Thanks for making this!!
RIP ... very inspiring to DIYers. A reminder to everyone to stay humble
Your brevity/depth combo was refreshing.
Wow, this video is amazing. I went to MIT and several of my friends majored in Aero/Astro Engineering. I've always been into RC planes and flight and was never able to get them to explain these complex concepts to me in any practical language that I could understand. I really hope you'll go on to do work in aeronautics or perhaps teaching because you clearly have an incredible intuition and ease with both the practical and theoretical concepts involved. Great video! Thanks!!
rest in peace great man
Decided to watch this gem again as it inspired back when it was first made. Thanks again and again.
Best video all day, made me smile so wide for your accomplishment. I really appreciate the details of how and why you did things
Samm,
Really great and thorough explanation! Its a real skill to be able to communicate something complex to a layman. Very enjoyable, can't wait for more! (Congrats on the win!)
Rest in peace Sam, your videos made me interested in aerospace engineering
RIP Samm...you will be missed.
WHAT
Narcis Samm died a few weeks ago in a motorcycle accident. Its terrible news, he will be missed for sure, RIP
Oh damn, I just discovered his channel, he was such a good teacher.. RIP
OMG, may he R.I.P
@@leozeo1900 Holy shit, this is the first video I watched and I did not expect this in the comments. I even noticed the motorcycle he had in his backyard shots and was thinking about how dope it was that he rides a motorcycle and flies planes....
3:56 It is really quite incredible that Samm stumbled upon what NASA had been working on at the same time, the PRANDTL-D solution to eliminate the need for winglets on aircraft and the introduction of upwash from introducing a negative wing twist. NASA was trying to solve for the bell-shaped lift distribution curve that didn't result in a discontinuity in the lift curve across the span. It also explains why sailing birds overlap their wing tips in flight when following each other. Samm apparently simply thought it logical to put a negative angle of attack at the wingtip to generate additional downforce to pitch the vehicle up. Of course, the PRANDTL-D is exceptionally efficient and much different than the HS522 and MH60 airfoils, and uses -8.6 degrees of twist, but Samm was clearly on to something. Fascinating.
Thanks for making this video! I realy like the way you explain things and how you do calculations to optimize the airfoil.
Miss you Samm. I'll always appreciate your ability to learn and apply new technology even if it was completely outside your expertise.
RIP. Great work
awesome vid. Love how you show the impact of your practical knowledge with rc and scratchbuilding on more formalized engineering education. inspiring stuff.
i wish we could've seen where this channel would've gone of samm was still arround. rip

Thanks the flying wing was a tremendous thing
could you link me the brain component i really want to try and build this but i cant find it anywhere.
Sam you are an excellent role model. I hope some kid out there gets inspired just like I did now.
Sam,
your videos are great mate. You make traditionally complex concepts accessible and understandable to everyone. Keep up the awesome work mate
Awesome work! It's people like you who encourage engineering students to think outside the box and develop new unseen things! Kudos!
Cheers to the legend we miss you very much
I will greatly miss these wonderful videos. Love and thoughts to your family.
This was a particularly enjoyable video. I really liked the pace of the video and the 'to the point' explanations for an entire concept, design, build AND test video. No need to ramble and make this a 5 part video series. Not sure why I am only watching this video now as it is 2 years old. It reminds me of Tom Stanton's videos. Also to the point, great projects, not overly wordy. I see he also appreciated this video.
Exelente. Thanks for going at it.
God bless you Sheperd
KerbalSpaceProgram thought me about center of weight and lift :D
simple planes is simpler but i prefer it to check my designs for planes quickly and then i can build them
KSP, FRC, and throwing large foam sheets like frisbees are the only reasons I understood this video
but it sure didn't teach you English grammar
KSP with realism mods + Scott Manely taught a lot
I'm geek'n out.
That was beautiful.
Totally going to steal that design haha.
Incredible work Samm & team. One of the greatest videos & accomplishments I've seen in a long time.
Thanks, I really enjoyed this!. One of the best concise elaborations of the dynamics of a flying wing I've ever seen.
I used to size aircraft at Northrop. You pretty much did what the big corporate companies do. Now add a pilot, structure, inlet duct, LO treatments, etc. That's where it gets tedious and expensive. The sizing is the fun part. Did you know a lot of flying wings have PROVERSE yaw (too much yaw in a turn)?
add my cudos and a question.. how DID you counter proverse yaw? Most of the RC wings (successful ones) have a winglet at the end to act as a vertical stabilizer. Interested in seeing the math/thinking behind the solution. (yes, I'm a aviation nerd.. sue me ;)
We just added script to the flight control code to apply opposite rudder during a turn.
must have been a lot of rudder :) lemme guess a 10 degree bank required 2/3 to 3/4 opposite rudder. Most the wings i've seen spin like tops if you dont stay on top of them.
I fly hang gliders. No vertical stabilizers, no fancy computers, no problems with yaw either. A little bit of adverse, but mostly just goes where you point it.
John Gault How about Viagra?
RIP Sam. You will me missed. Fly high!
Every once and a while YT sends me one of Samm's videos.......and leaves me with a smile.....Thank you again Samm. Happy flying brother.
As an engineer studying these concepts, it is awesome to see it be put into action to make an extremely efficient aircraft. Awesome video!
Dont you wish you could go back in time just 125 years, bump into the Wright brothers, and show them this 9-minute video? With just 9 minutes of information, imagine where we would be!
The Germans may have won ww2!
Thing is, the main limitation back then wasn't knowledge or understanding, it was materials and weight. As far as I know, they understood the basics of flight, but they simply didn't have a light enough engine that produced enough power to keep a heavier than air aircraft in the air (the original Wright flyer couldn't even get off the ground by itself, it had to be accelerated on a trolley).
Replicas of the Wright Flyer have been flown. The whole "bumble bees can't fly" meme is based on fixed-wing aerodynamics, and was never believed to reflect reality by any engineer. For someone who claims his intelligence "is actually a curse", you don't actually seem to know much, Robert.
The Wright brothers would have been too stupid to use the information. They would probably still try to put the stabilizer in front of the wing and then try to patent that and make money. The world has no place for litigious greedy people, IMHO. Samuel Langley, on 1896-05-06, flew his Aerodrome No. 5 in a sustained flight of over 1 kilometre. Just because the plane was not carrying a human does not mean that it was not an airplane.
Wow, this was very intresting for me Samm, I wish you could have made many more for years and taught me and everyone else even more!😭RIP Samm l, you will be in our hearts.
When I was in college, studying mechanical engineering, I was shocked by how few of my piers had built model planes and other vehicles in their youth. Your flying wing is impressive. Congratulations!
That was both brilliant and amazing. No word of a lie: listening carefully, anyone could understand your video. Thank you and completely so. Please endeavour to do all of the things you think you should.
Still find this very entertaining to watch. Rest easy bud
RIP samm ,you will be missed
What happened?
@@pierresihite8854 sir,samm is died.check this channel's last video by his dad.RIP samm. we miss you.
That was AWESOME! Flying mixed with programming? two of my passions together! congrats man!
Great design. And very sorry for this lost.
Congratulations wherever you are Sammy
R.I.P Samm.We miss you.
I just saw your video for the first time today and subscribed then I noticed your dad saying what he did!!!!!! Truly sorry for the loss of such a vibrant young life. RIP Sami.
Before I knew what happened, This was my response.
Very good informative video and no long winded unnecessary babble. Congratulations on your achievement and your team's success. Clearly your practical "PPL and manufacturing techniques were very useful in the team. I did a lot of RC models including jets......went on to do a Masters in aerospace vehicle design. From my perspective, this was an excellent team work and a great video. I'm studying PPL which you have already completed. Any practical flight tips?
Hay, glad you listened and put your self out there for this, you guys gathers some great information on flying wing design. I hope you continue in to fill size electric flying wing kit plane. You're experience brought a lot to this project.
You did an excellent job explaining yaw stabilization due to swept wings, I love explaining it by putting a bent paperclip in the sink and letting people use their finger tips as a pivot point so they can feel the force when they use their other hand to try to destabilize the paper clip.
those are great projects, we miss you
22 minutes! Holy cow, well done.
Outstanding video. Thank you for taking the time to share.
Awesome, awesome job. I love that you just went for it, and you did a great job with recapping as well. As an engineer and fellow RC (and full scale) pilot, I can appreciate every aspect of what you attempted here and I'm very impressed; good on ya. :)
as an aerospace engineer and pilot myself, this makes me proud
"the class is gonna be hard for you with no engineeri backround" :D Well Done!
loved the overall process you went through the build, a great way to learn..!
Very interesting mate, I love how you entered the course with that email. I just finished my Aerospace engineering course and was planning on getting flying lessons in the future.
"But it's a little embarrassing, some of the things that I say out there when I'm all alone." No Sam, we're all a little silly in the head, it's not just you.
Very impressive. Wish I could give this like 10 thumbs up.
Sam, miss you man. I know having a beer with you won't be possible in this lifetime but, I am sure we will catch up in another. You still remain to be a great inspiration to me!
great job. simple and straight forward explanation and approach to meeting the challenge.
It is best example of case, when person, who really interested in hobby, knows and can do more, than some "professionals". Good education is self-education.
Well those "professionals" have more knowledge but the hobbyist has experience combine those 2 and you have magic xD
Oh hell yes! Love this comment.
You know he's educated in aviation, right?
that's how the abrams tank was made into the perfect tank. experience of tank crew combined with knowledge of professionals.
@@Dejawolfs The Abrams never finished first in Euro Strong Tank competitions. Its always Leopard 2s that are winning. In 2016 it lost to the C1 Ariete which some people say is one of the worst nato tanks.
Very well done man keep up the great work
😔
I'm also studying Engineering and it would be so helpful to have the insight you have, I feel like I need more application experience. So much props to you!
Freaking boy genius! No engineering background, yet showing the whole engineering class how it's done! I love it when something like that happens! Well Done!
He sadly passed away a few months ago in an accident.
@@beybladeguru101 - Yeah, I noticed that when I checked out his channel after watching this video. I didn't know him, but after watching the tribute video by his Dad, it really saddened me. The world lost a beautiful mind when he died! The kind of mind that could have made a positive impact on the world! My heart goes out to his family!
@@foadrightnow5725 I know. This kid had such a future. It’s just unbelievable how such great people can go.
Fly high, Sam.
RIP Samm Shepard... you were taken way too early my friend.
Rest in peace man 💔. U are missed
Practical experience cannot be discounted! Well done and great build/video!
Samm congrats on getting accepted in the engineering class, really enjoy your projects and thanks for sharing, I'm sure your class mates are happy to have you onboard. Your aerodynamics skills are way above me, most of my projects are trial and error before they are successful, thanks and keep up the great work.
you will be missed friend, be at peace .
:(
Hey Sam! You should consider adding lightweight solar panel to the plane since it is so insanely energy efficient and lightweight! :)
I disagree that this would be under the term "efficient", if you use an external power source. Efficiency is when you make the most of your available power
@@centaurixon "since it is so insanely energy efficient" - he basically means that with solar panel this plane would probably be able to fly nonstop because the current draw is so low. And he says that it IS efficient and not WOULD be
That was no less than amazing. What a fascinating science aerodynamics has become in this computer age we live in. You develop an understanding of flight theorem, process the variables in design software that does theoretical flight testing for you, input the final design parameters developed by that software into another computer using computer numeric coordinated machining equipment or 3D printing devices that physically create your aircraft, you add the glue and “presto-changeo” an airplane is born! No less than brilliant, Bravo !..... Now imagine for just one moment what it must have been like for the Wright Brothers only 118 years ago.... just how lucky are you to be that bright and living in an era that offers you so much opportunity. Go man Go, there is so much to know and so little time. Never stop being curious and in awe for all you find. I enjoyed your energetic narration and obvious passion for flight. I relate, I flew my 1st HangGlider at 24 in 1973 and the love of flight still burns within me. You are a quick study and a bright young man, take your talents to Aerospace and Stars, ...
but mostly ... have Fun ! Tempus fugit young Man.
This is real engineering. You have a grasp of the real world consequences. You are not afraid of the math and physics, but you don't over think or over calculate. Impressive. Like Bruce Lee's approach to marital arts. Clean straight forward. Great work.
You sound like a male version of Tina from Bob's Burgers.
uuhhhhhhh
OMG yes yes yes!!!!!! I didnt even notice until I saw this comment but the pronunciation, inflection.... its scary accurate...
YoQuint! Crap now I can’t I hear it
Tina is voiced by a male
RIP Samm.
Almost cried coming back to this ☹️ rest easy Sam
Watching your videos for me is better than watching a movie that cost millions because you do it with what you have and for us. Thank you Professor
An inspiring video, we will all miss you. Rest In Peace Samm.
