Can a plane fly with no wings
“no it can’t. Anyway here’s videos and examples of planes flying without wings”
_“Give me an engine powerful enough, and I will make an ironing board fly.“_ - Clarence “Kelly“ Johnson, lead Lockheed engineer
Reminds me of the experimental jet that took off pointing straight up
The first and only true manned X-wing aircraft to date. Makes me want to build another one, just to say I have the last X-wing known to mankind.

You know, it's a real shame. Only 20 years after its inception, and all the kids have COMPLETELY forgotten Google even exists. Tch, tch, tch
Hovercars in Spongebob:
I like how he’s using smash hit music
English Electric Lightning: "These wings are just there so that the navigation lights can be apart."
That’s what the bionic man Steve Austin crashed so he could get his bionic legs arm and eye.
They built him better stronger faster

>can airplanes fly without wings
Here are airplanes that flew without wings
😐
The shape of the Fuselage acted as a wing. You need something like a wing to provide Lift. Otherwise it's more like a Rocket. See the movie " The Right Stuff". Great movie,!
My father worked on these projects in the 60’s.
Look, ma, I've got no wings!
Aaaaw, what cute little chuncky bois
“Looked like a bathtub on a tricycle”…well said
M2F3 Wings use by Steve Austin the 6M Dollar Man.
And the pilot walked away from the crash in the video footage… They were tough aircraft.
@@allangibson2408 >>> The pilot -- Bruce Peterson -- did not walk away from the crash. He was hospitalized for several months, although he did recover.
He lost one eye due to a post-crash infection.
*EDIT:* I didn't even notice your first name when I wrote this reply. MY first name is also _"Allan."_ 😊
@Matt Hunter >>> The aircraft he was flying was the *M2F2* It was rebuilt after the crash as the *M2F3* and incorporated design changes to improve stability.
The easiest way IMO to tell the two versions apart is the *M2F2* had two vertical stabilizers {on the left and right sides}, and the *M2F3* had three vertical stabilizers {a third vertical stab was added between the other two}.
"Made of playwood"
Anyone old enough to remember a show called "The 6 Million Dollar Man" will remember the real crash footage of one of these that was part of the show's intro.
Reminds me of those cars from the 50s with those points sticking out at the back
Some of these were test designs FOR the Space Shuttle. The beginning of the 1970's tv series called, 'The Six Million Dollar Man' shows one of these crashing. Hince the idea for the series.
The person given credit for the basic design is because of a Bath Tub!!! Story has it, He was driving with a bath tub on a trailer or truck? The tub lifted off the trailer/truck and that visual gave him direction on the first steps of the final design.
Mfs took my wings, cant have shit in detroit
And now we have the Dreamchaser…
At Lockheed Martin we had a saying if we can get it to go fast enough it'll fly no matter what it is
Uh, They still had wings
Everything can fly with and without wings. I can fly and depending on how tall the building I may actually get some distance.
From around 66 to 76, the Military conducted lifting-body experiments.
I love this channel, but it's been dying slowly. I am really sad because of that, i hope he finds an idea that for a vid that everyone would enjoy!
Good luck awl you need to know!!
Yes. people don’t like lernin’. They like the dumb. Why watch something that might teach you something? You could just sit on ass and watch real housewives of Djibouti.
That’s not flying. That’s FALLING with STYLE.
Steve Austin crashed one of them!! Shes breakin up shes breakin up!!
Then Oscar Goldman rebuilt him fer 6 million dollars
Wonder how much by today inflation the cost of 6 million dollars.
The 50's and 60's were a great time for aeronautics, it seems.
“Looks like a bathtub on a tricycle”
NAILED IT! 😂😂😂
I’ve heard that’s what a lot of ufos out in southwest deserts of the USA look like those.
She's breaking up she's breaking up!
This guy: “Can planes fly without wings? No!”
That one F-15: Lol ok
the simple answer is “no”
My dad was an engineer on this project.
“Can planes fly without wings?”…airplanes No!…but saucers CAN 😆😂🤣!
aircraft never "aircrafts" aircraft is already plural.
Fun fact: SNC (a private space company) is currently set to launch a lifting body spaceplane to the ISS next year. It's called the dream chaser and is heavily based off the canceled HL-20 project.
@@imadrifter >>> No, it is real. At least one prototype has been flown {gliding}.
Last I read, an unmanned version will be launched into space in the first half of 2023. If successful, it will become an unmanned cargo carrier. Latter manned versions are planned.
Haha chonk planes
Air penguins 🐧
The shuttle had wings because the military wanted a capability that required them (and then never used it for that mission).
The Dreamchaser is also a lifting body
Back in the sixties-seventies their pilots were paid six million dollars ;)
"Gentlemen, we can rebuild him, we have the technology..."
Lifting buddy 😃
A cool piece of aviation history.
Planes like f16 main fuselage were made with lifting bodies in mind. They still added wings
I remember there was a jet fighter that had it wing ripped off and after reorienting from the impact engaged it’s boosters and used the same affect to land safely at base
These designs will still be on file.
They look so cute. They look like something off a children's program.
“We can rebuild him! Stronger! Faster! DO DO DODO!
I like the arora clips you included, very nice 👍
It just proves that having a body that generates lift is possible, which is beneficial.
Those designs were really extreme though. Just extending the body into the wings and vice versa would have been better.
War thunder when xD
More like a craft designed for a controlled fall rather than "lifting."
The cover photo looked like a short English lightning
"Can a plane fly without wings, well the short answer is no, but there were aircrafts that could fly without wings." THEN YES THERE ARE PLANES THAT CAN!!!
Fun fact:
The fastest propeller aircraft in the world uses a lift generating fuselage (Piaggio 108 Avanti)
Lmao reminds me of "Despicable Me" Gru's Aircraft
A couple other aircraft that you can see a fuselage that assists in lift is F-18s and Mig 29 as well as similar models.
Lifting body designs weren't cancelled in favor of Delta Wings, though they might have been for the Space Shuttle. Since the space shuttle they've just never had the funding for development into a full orbital vehicle until the DreamChaser Spaceplane that's flying later this year or mid next year. Other examples include the HL-20 and 42, and the Advanced Crew Return Vehicle
Me remembering marble game i played long ago on phone with same background
Steve Austin, astronaut, a man barely alive
The nose cone of a rocket cut in half, with stubby vertical stabilizers = controlled fall or at best, gliding.
Love the look of the “HL-10”.
The wing is the fuselage, just in the same way the wing of a helicopter is the rotor blades.
Tr3B: I'm the upgrade
If you can't remove the wings
Become the wings
It looks like the A-wing from Star Wars.
Basically an A1 Starfighter
where is the javelin video ?
I researched a lot, but didn't find anything that would be new to people. But don't worry, my research is continue, and will find something soon. Stay tune.
I bet you there’s still a huge area in military r&d that’s still looking at stuff like this.
Imagine using this tech to develop flying cars more.
Rockets don't use wings, ion thrusters don't need wings. Wings are not required for flight, but they help
Made of playwood
Give enough power you can make a rock fly....no lift needed...point up and apply POWER
You ain't got a glide though, once you fall down, you can't do anything.
It's not about the power, it's not flying, it's falling with style.
Steve Austin owes his success to the flying bathtub.
If ‘Top Gun’ was a comedy, they’d use these planes, call it ‘Tub Gun’ 🙂
They landed hot to high speed
Humans:whats that flying triangle?
I don't have wings, I am the wing.
God speed Colonel Steve Austin.
Yes, they're called helicopters.
When have u seen a wingless bird lmao
Looks like the dream chaser
🧐 Hmm? Looks like NASA be Trying to replicate all those UFOs that their pilots continously report seeing 👀
"Six Million Dollar" man. This is the plane he crashed in that gave him the title of the "Six Million Dollar" man
The plane Looks like a flying turkey lmao
This probably inspired one of the flight modes for the jackal from call of duty infinite warfare
Got that playwood body
There have been wings shot off planes and a plane only flying with one wing that survived and stayed in the air
That was the start of the re-engineering of the Roswell UFO. They did/do actually have one(or more by now) constructed. It's starting to come out
M2F1 is like a bird 🐦 who ate too many worms
They look like "Hot wheels" collectibles.
A plane without wings can't fly, but a door wedge can
More like a baby airplane that literally hatched from a commercial jet.
Which would imply that.........
Commercial??
Literally?
Yeah
???
