How about a detailed video on the Argentinian I.Ae. 27 Pulqui which was basically the German fighter that would have been developed if the war hadn't ended. It definitely isn't talked about very often.
The Mig 15 was basically a German design. The Soviets didn't have the designs for the jet engine, but then got them from the British.
DFS was first aircraft wich reach 1000 kph, and pilot (I think he was German), got Stalin's prize 100.000 rubles.
Puh! When does he catch his breath?
p1101 became the sabre, j29, mig-15 and a direct copy the Bell X-5.
The Swedish success 'Tunnan' ("The Barrel", Saab J29) was a result of German drawings Saab got their hands on in Switzerland just after the end of WW2. Looking very much like the drawing showed here of Messerschmitt P.1101, but (looking with the eyes of an amateur!) in profile a more rounded belly and a shorter tail rodder.
'Tunnan' was the first European built arrow winged plane, and reached a little more than 1000 km/h, for a while the fastest in the world (at least officially, the USA was in the heals..😅).
It primiered in September 1, 1948, the British test pilot Robert 'Rob' More later said "It was love at first sight".
I saw one of the still flying Tunnan on an airshow just the other day. It looks like a bumblebee, flies like a swift.
It's a huge shame that not more of the over 660 built Tunnan hasn't been taking care of, it is worthy to remain flying. It certainly show you, it's not in the looks, it's in ability.
Just one thing.99.9 of all germans were not nazis. Most of the aircraft designers and all the workers were not members of the party. They were german. The russians flew the dfs346 in 1947 many times and say they broke the speed of sound several months before yaeger.. They might well have.the plane was capable of nearly 1000 mph. Anyway the Bellx1 had a lot of german engineers working on it as well.
4:22 That's von Braun, nothing to do with Messerschmidt.
❤
You pronounced Voigt wrong. The oi is more like oa in boat. So "Foagt" would nearly nail it.
The biggest narrative out of world war 2 about the European campaign and what one group allegedly did to another group allegedly killing millions never happened !!! Crazy how it’s all coming out now the whole story is horse manure BS ! Do a video on that
2:37 bruh
Can't stand that bald dude!
Luftwaffe 1946
Paused at about 4:30, instantly looked at a certain spot and definitely knew who 73 was before looking at the numbers below. 😊
If Simon carries on at such a frantic pace he'll be at the Mad Jack Torrance stage.😂
great presentation, but please get rid of the phony sound effects between scenes, they are very distracting
3:48 Turbine blades are at the exhaust outlet of the engine so, no, turbine blades cannot shear off and get sucked into the engine, that's impossible. That can, and does, happen to compressor blades, but not turbine blades.
So, I have video topic suggestion. What if Adolf Hitler were never born or never existed? How would that have impacted the history of the 20th century? One would initially consider all the lives that might have been saved had WWII not occurred (at least in Europe). Also, would the Holocaust have still occurred? And, given that the primary push to develop the Atomic Bomb was a fear that Nazi Germany was developing them as well, would nuclear weapons have ever been developed? There is also the geo-political ramifications of WWII in Europe and how much that has shaped the modern world we live in today. Anyway, at the very least I think it would be an interesting thought discussion from an alternative history standpoint.
"But hey, a crap engine is better than no engine!"
^More or less why we never got the F-14B Super Tomcat in the 70s.
We probably haven’t heard of them bc they were all dogshit
German aircraft, not Nazi.
It scares me sometimes when I hear about our military's high technology programs. WWII Germany wasted a lot of money, time and effort on useless projects that siphoned off much needed resources. Sometimes it looks as though we are making the same mistake.
Please remember, that Hugo Junkers was a pacifist and is company was requested when the Nazis came to power in 1933. He only built civilian airplanes. Even in WW I he was forced to cooperate with Fokker, because he didn't built military airplanes at that time too. The Nazis only continued to use his name, because he was too famous.
Hugo Junkers – one of the greatest aviation pioneers. 1859-1935.
How many you tube channels this dude on????
Coo-de-grah 😁
No it couldn't, didn't and won't, You can't change history. What if Hitler had died from cream cake poisoning. mmmm
And the British made aircraft from wood but the difference is we got ours to work as fighter snd bomber 😂
first time i didn't finish one of simon's videos…. i gave up 5 minutes in, after about 100 annoying "whoosh" noises
The Nazi regime had too many competing projects and competing branches of the regime to use limitted resources efficiently.
Even the V weapons that worked killed more in production than in usage.
The Me P.1101 is clearly the design basis the subsequent SAAB Tunnen, flying before 1950. Apparently the Americans gave the Swedes a peak at captured German aircraft designs somewhere in Switzerland. You can also see the design heritage of the MiG15 and North American Sabre, both of which became operational just after the Tunnan. The British didn't catch up until 1954 with the Hawker Hunter and the French even later in 50s along with Argentinians and the Puma.
Very much of a “our German scientist are better than their German scientists”
Coup de grace, is pronounced Cou de grass
I enjoy videos that discuss experimental vehicles that just didnt make it. You can learn a great deal from a failure.
Keep up the good work!
Germany was ahead of aeronautical game with several prototypes during the war.
