Australovenator was a fascinating Australian theropod, and one of the most complete!
A History of The F8U-3 Super Crusader
มุมมอง 50K2 ปีที่แล้ว
The F8U-3 or Super Crusader was one of the best naval fighter aircraft to never see service, its development enwrapped in an intense rivalry.
This aircraft could not meet the evolving requirements for a front line Naval fighter/attack aircraft. It lacked the volume and the generator capacity to run the most moderen look down, beyond visual range radar systems and ECM gear, and did not have nearly enough payload, and it only had one engine. It was obsolete even before it took its first flight.
Great video 👍
Great aeroplane ✈️👍
Beautiful jet.
Why aren’t there examples still flying? The Panther is beautifully simple and robust.
Thanks for posting this I really enjoyed it very informative. Also it was nice not to hear a dry computer generated AI voice. Again, great job you earned a sub on this one.
Another fine American aircraft powered in production by a British engine. The J-42 (RR Nene) then from the -5, J-48 (RR Tay.)
MIG 15 was also powered by RR Nene.
you mention dates but no year
We had one on static display in a park in Dumas, TX in the 60s and 70s. We crawled all over and all through it as kids. Don’t know what became of it. There’s an RF-4 in the park now.
The cruiser was HELena, not heLAYna. The Panther had a tighter turn radius but the MiG had a better turn rate, and the Panther probably had a better roll rate. The Panther had arguably the best armament installation of any plane in the conflict. These Russian pilots were probably in their first combat.
Hmmm The Meteor had 4 20mm cannon and the MiG 15 23mm + 30mm. The rate of roll would be reduced if there was any fuel in the tip tanks.
It is noteworthy that the Panther was armed with four 20mm cannon as opposed to the Air Force's F-86 which used six .50 cal. machine guns.

I worked at Grumman in the 1980s in structural design. My first boss was a guy who cut his teeth on the panther program. I was young and ignorant, but he recalled how he came up with a chin and sprocket system to extend the radome and access a new radar unit they were designing to mount. Im glad I finally learned more about the Panther.
Nicely done video. informative and entertaining too. thank you!
My first aircraft model!
Like them both. The F-9 Panther & the F-9 Cougar. Would be a dream to fly either one of them. Thanks for posting great stuff. These old films really do need a frame by frame digital restoration. Most are extremely blurry on these new flat screens.
Ted Williams flew one.
First U.S. jet on jet kills. Meteors shot down V1s in 1944.
No way the V-1 could have shot down a Meteor.
@@bobharrison7693 Would you nit pick if V1s were landing around your house? 99% of TH-cam commentators do not realise that the V1 speed *_near sea level_* was a huge hurdle for fighter interception. They don’t know that the published piston engine fighter top speeds were up at altitudes where the piston engines were running the top supercharger revs at the full throttle height for the engine boost. Do you give credit to U.S. Navy pilots who shot down _kamikaze_ planes before they incinerated U.S. sailors?
In Mesa Arizona we had a F 9 in the Pioneer park. We would crawl through the engine exhaust into the engine bay. Great fun for a kid. Also there was an old train engine to play on. Back in the 60s 70s kids played on them all the time . Now you couldn't do that so sad.
I played on that panther too. I wonder what happened to it?
As a kid growing up in Vero Beach Florida in the 60s there was one in a park there too. we did the same thing, crawling in to the empty engine bay. I still remember the smell...
I played on that too, never got enough nerve to climb up on the tail. Great memories.
Too hard to get aboard the carriers. The Navy didn't want the accident rate that would come with it. In the air, a great machine.
The people in charge of getting the aircraft just didn’t see it : The US. Needed both aircraft ! It’s only money , when has that ever been a problem for them ! $$$
Thanks for the history! Great film with Panther's in it, The Bridges at Toko-Ri.
Great video!
Great video. Glad to see your back. Narration is well done.
Thank you so much! I am glad it is not too fast this time! Take care!
Nice
Great video overall. I think you might integrate more of the other side PoV into it as it would have anchored more context in the matter. For exemple, the whole goal of helping the American revolution, as Charles Maurice de Talleyrand stated, was to weakened Britain and reduce it's income throught export and import. Cutting the UK's market in Europe was the next step to further isolate them and was carried out later on by Napoleon Bonaparte by de Talleyrand's advice. In truth, that plan was originally Talleyrand's under Louis XVI's rule, continued during the "Reign of Terror" and carried until failure by Napoleon himself. Therefore, the treaty that insured the Americano-Britain's traderoute was deemed as borderline treacherous back in France, as it was the main purpose of their involvement to begin with. In the eyes of the french, it was almost as if they had gone almost brankrupt for nothing. As such, seizing and pillaging was used as a mean to further distrupt the traderoute or at least mobilize a portion of Britain's navy in an attempt to weaken the Royal navy roaming the "English Channel".
Imagine if this and the Ultra Sabre pushed thru , it would look like Star Wars in the 60s!

Mach 2 for 10 minutes will get you somewhere friendly
A bit like the F22 vs the F23
I appreciate your passion for history. Well done man!
Much appreciated!
This is great
So Britain aided in kicking France out of North America. After which, you folks realised Britain was no longer needed, and America then got France to help kick Britain out as well. Then America skilfully avoided paying back most of it's revolutionary war debts under legal technicalities. A masterclass on how to play both sides. Gotta admit, your country was founded by some very shrewd politicians. Greetings from England.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
The Laughing Crusader :) Thank God the Phantom won, which is one of the most beautiful planes of all time.
God I find the phantom ugly a sin - sorry
@@Derek-je6vg Everyone's eyes see differently. For me, the shape of the Phantom is quite 'erotic'. I have models of this plane in all versions and scales :) Also, I really like the basic design of the Crusader...But that 'Super Crusader' was a really funny design.
Man. This would have eaten up Mig 21s like doritos.
Excelleration is not a word. Did you mean acceleration?
it looks like a rockstar
Just found you and based on this one video you have a new subscriber
F-4 has to be the most average plane ever when compared to its contemporaries.
X-32 got its looks from this plane
Why does it look like the Avro?
'EXcelleration'? Really?
Bought had some good ideas my favorite warbird of all is the f4 corsair and I love the fact that the Crusader is known as the last gun fighter great video you should really have more subs
Amazing aircraft, but I'm shocked, (not) that they stripped "the last gun fighter" of its guns. A failing of more than one aircraft of the era including the F-4. This however is one that admittedly I haven't heard much about. Nicely done sir.🤝❤🇺🇸
The production Crusader III still would've had the Colts, though they were frankly useless due to the poorly designed feeding mechanism. The feeding system would jam under anything more than 1 G, and there was no recocking system to clear jams. Basically, if your guns jammed mid-flight, they just became dead weight. The Crusader scored 17 out of the 19 total kills with Sidewinders, anyway.
I served in a f-8u2ne squadron; the night fighter electronic version. Beautiful plane, except for constant radar maintenance. The f4h was a truck compared to the f-8u3 sports car.
"Accelerates from Mach .9 to Mach 2 in only 3 minutes." The Saturn V Moon rocket went from Mach .9 to 6000 MPH in half that time. But it couldn't turn on a dime!
One of the few times a robot voice would have been much better.
Really enjoyed this video. I loved the F8U.
Not sure what they were thinking. One of the best things about the Crusader was it's maneuverability which earned it the nickname "the last gunfighter". While the Super Crusader was still maneuverable, with the increased speed, it wasn't really necessary. In fact, it was superfluous, as dogfights take place at much lower speeds. So you end up complicating the design by introducing new components, which were sometimes prone to failure, when you already had a superb aircraft.
This thing was kinda meant to be more of an interceptor than close-quarters dogfighter, hence having a far more powerful radar and AIM-7 Sparrows. It also had absolutely zero ability to do any sort of ground attack, like what the Navy required, hence why the Phantom was chosen.
That was the theory. Reality, when the "not manuverability, or guns, needed" F4 had been introduced, and used in actual combat, was that high speed could not be mantained in combat, because you had to manuver to come in launch position, and sustained turning decreased speed.
@@Tigershark_3082 It had zero ability to do any sort of ground attack because the Navy didn't require it at the start. The bid was for an interceptor/interdictor. Otherwise it would have had 6 hardponts, like the A7.
