      No , the SR1 hovercraft was crossing the English channel in the 1950's well before the Aerocar and using an air cushion not a Coanda fan system that led nowhere.

  • @chrisknight6884
    @chrisknight6884 Před 4 lety +2

    Quite a good video and well presented. I did however note three errors:
    1. The Ader aircraft was actually documented to have taken off by the French military (making it the first manned powered flight). (This part was missed out by the narrator).
    2. The 'flying bedstead' was a a Rolls Royce experimental VTOL proof of concept aircraft that predated the NASA luner lander simulator by more than 10 years. This aircraft developed the tip jet controls eventually used on the Harrier.
    3. A totally original Bleriot XI is part of the Shuttleworth Collecgion and still flies (when conditions are perfect)

    Just knowing that the moon lander only flew a couple of times and the rest of the time they were trying to keep it from crashing should tell you something about the moon missions. Van Allen belts is the real puzzle but what sealed the deal was when I saw Neil in low earth orbit when he was supposed to be halfway to the moon. That video of them filming the window in the space ship with all light blocked out to give the appearance of being 130k miles away from earth then uncovering the windows showing they were still in low earth orbit must be pretty embarrassing.

At least Jack Northrop had a sense of humor. Btw MED, there is no such such thing as a"rocket fueled jet engine". Hope you can clarify.

      killersushi99: Your description is funny but true. I have done mortuary work in Ventura County, California. There has been an above average number of personal aircraft crashes there, in hang gliders and small engine powered aircraft. And the aviators are often very badly broken up by their crashes. So, yes, many closed casket funerals; or cremations which are much cheaper anyway.
      I'm sorry to see these budding aviators go. They often needed better training, as opposed to better equipment. (And better sense. Many of them flew over the dry riverbed going up to Santa Paula and Filmore. I would chose a softer crash site than a dry riverbed full of rocks and boulders!)
