That's right. Yak-141 was developed as the successor to Yak-38, forming squadrons on aircraft cruisers. But USSR government was not too inspired by VTOL jets. And after the crash of USSR they freezed project and later forgot about that at all, but two planes were saved and now are located in Air Force museum in Monino, Russia

But the USSR broke up before turning the Yak 141 into serial production. Putin is financing a new VTOL project.
A lot of planes and vehicles from *video games* are possible today. It's like the old saying: "what is fiction today, can be reality tomorrow." it's why I always tell people not to assume that just because we lack the technology (or science) to make or do something right now, that it'll never happen.
Hey Found and Explained, could you also cover this 1993 Patent titled "Electromagnetic Energy Propulsion Engine" granted to James R. Taylor [US5197279A] which seems like a some sort of tic-tac cuz I'm starting to think that human invention is the more likely scenario? Anyways, great work and keep it up man!
it seems that anti grav technology may have been discovered in the late fifties and then went totally black and was wiped from history, there were a lot of newspaper articles for a brief period of a couple of weeks at that time stating that people would soon be able to travel in ways that they made sound like modern ufo's and then it went silent, also in the late 1800's and early 1900's there were numerous sightings of craft referred to as airships piloted by people that used traditional light sources and materials of the day but seemed to have anti gravity capabilities, they were supposedly created by a group of german americans who started the senoma aerospace club and financed by a german group called nimsa
Yes, I've always believed it was our technology rather than aliens. It's always been strange to me how the government seems to want to push the alien idea and it made me think it's all just a cointellpro.
So technically the XB-35 and YB-49 were both built. They just never entered full-scale production, ending, instead, at proof-of-concept demonstrators. For that matter, I'm pretty sure the jet version wasn't a whole new aircraft, but was actually a direct upgrade of one or more of the propeller powered versions.
The YB-49 was a serious development project. The loss of stability issues were impossible to correct with the technology of the time and the program was abandoned.
I live in NW Arizona and witness a aircraft flying over my home at what was at least 40,000 ft and was moving at what zI estimated to be mach 4 leaving a " Doughnut on a chain type of contrails. Couldn't really make out shape of the craft due to altitude but the doughnut contrails and the speed of the formation and movement of the same was unmistakeable.
"Or what the CIA would have you to believe." I don't know if it was intentional or not but I feel like that's a tribute to Norm McDonald. God Bless that man.
Surprising number of videos about the TR-3B this past year or two. Remember seeing info about this craft years ago and seen the rumours change from speculation of ET craft to US Naval Office Black Project. I’m a believer, have seen similar craft with my own eyes flying in the night sky over Canada in the past and seen photos from other countries, most famously the Belgian UFO wave.
As a college project I made a model of the four engined Blenhem concept, it would have filled the role of heavy bomber but never got beyond the drawing board. As a bit of fun I have made the Boeing Blue Whale with a high wing and over wing engines it is a 747 based flying boat, it must be the way to go as you don't need bigger runways and you save the weight of the undercarriage 😊.
The Avro Arrow has always bothered me, even as a kid. A lot of these were pipe dreams or competing contracts that never got the go ahead. Avro had functioning planes that weren't prototypes. The Arrow was built, it was ready to go, it was so close to changing the entire dynamic of which countries had air superiority, which countries other countries go to for their military aircrafts, and it would've moved aircraft design forward massively. If it had been made Canada could very well be producing military jets today. It was so far ahead of the curve and got shafted so thoroughly and that always bothered me, that politics destroyed something so advanced, and for a county whose military vehicles are now everybody else's old gear, this would've changed everything from that standpoint. I'm big into aircraft and the "what if" of the Arrow just bothers me a lot, because of how close it was. It was real and then it was gone.
There’s plausible evidence that one was smuggled out of the country under the cover of night on the day they were supposed to be destroyed, many people reported seeing a completely unmarked Arrow land, take on fuel, and high tail the fuck out at an airport near the boarder
@@stoneymacaroni true, but I think that's why 1boredcanadian is saying they would still have a solid industry today. When the Aero got the ax - just weeks before full production began - Avro had to let go most of its staff. The very day of the layoffs, there were recruiters from Boeing, Lockheed and other aerospace firms literally standing outside The Avro headquarters in Ontario, offering jobs to those brilliant engineers. Some went on to the Apollo program, some went on to build the Concorde, but few remained in Canada.
The avro was a failure, it had crap range, no maneuverability, and its entire role was phased out because russia switched to icbm's. It wasn't GOOD for anything but intercepting supersonic bombers, which were no longer a threat

I don’t think those were each individual engines, but there still were some extra engines someplace - and having it fly in and out of an airport in the middle of a city would also have been incredibly noisy!
@@Sashazur Those were all engines that was one of the biggest problems it had. Back then engines weren't as powerful, So, they would've needed that many. Either way, I can't imagine how loud that thing would've been flying in it or as a resident in a city next to it.
Flying Wing XB-35 and YF suffered one fatal flaw for bombers. It couldn't hit a target because of the yawing wing wobble caused by the lack of a rudder, or the fly by wires computer control to dampen it out (as used with the B2).
Quite interesting video, thank you! But... Yak-38 was at regular service in the SU Navy; Yak-141 was built as an experimental one; MC-21 just begins its life and 7 planes are built for various tests, 100+ items are in production pipeline. I know for sure that those three cannot be qualified as "never built" but what about the rest of the list? ;)
Yak-38 was actually built and Internet service the Yak-41 experimental supersonic which Lockheed did help with at the end of its development life before the project was scrapped
All four of the Yak-41/141 prototypes were built and flown years before Lockheed came into the picture. Lockheed proposed paying for the construction of 3-5 upgraded prototypes, but with all the chaos in the collapsed country, they realized this would be too risky. Ultimately they ended up just buying the Yak-141 tech docs in order to employ them in their own designs. That's all the "help" Lockheed provided in this development.
😳😳😳 6:02 The Secret Airplane of the Classic Episode of The X-Files "Dreamland" where Fox Mulder and Morris Fletcher change their bodies because a defect of the engine of this strange Ship. Excellent Video👏👏👏!!!
Awesome video Nick! Perfect for nr 100 because it's basically a compilation of all/most videos that you have made so far. Keep up the great work man! ✌️
As I remember from the TV series "The age of aerospace" sponsored by Boeing themself, the Boeing 2707 has a pair of wings which can change it's angle due to speed instead of a fixed wing design shown in the video
I've always said that the Avro "Arrow" should not have been cancelled. If Canada had continued, they could have sold the jet interceptor to other countries to defray the costs and lower the price per unit. However, the incoming Government was, as corporations do, looking only at their "bottom line", and missiles were cheaper. Still pissed after all these years.
17:20. The fans outside the engines did the same thing as the XF-84H Thunderscreech. It had a subsonic vibration that messed up the internal systems in the people that got close to it.
Great suggestion but the Komet wasn’t the only rocket fighter in WWll, the Natter and Japanese Okha also saw limited action and a few more types were prototyped ( If i recall correctly the russians also built a small straight wing rocket beriev)
@@000theUnforgiven000 seems like the Natter was right on the borderline between fighter and human-piloted SAM and the Okha was a purpose-built kamikaze plane more akin to a cruise missile

Nice video mate! Northrops XB-35 and YB-49 were built. And they have flied those years. They were not put into service, but still, they are not just concepts tho
i think you mixed up the Yak-38 with the Yak-141 the 38 was built in large numbers and served as the soviet Harrier equivalent, the 141 was in part even funded by LM and remained in the prototype stage
This is great, very good production values. I'm glad I got the chance to fly on the A380 a couple of times, such an amazing aircraft. It makes me really sad to see it's program end. At least it became reality unlike most of the others in this list.
Found and Explained do you have a free resource for the concept aircraft design 3d models? I want to make a Sci-fi ship but I need reference aircraft models to work with.
Honestly, from the title I was expecting the biggest aircraft concepts that were never built. Still a good video though. Oh and no way would the YB-49 have been a contender against the B-36, it didn't have anything like the range or lifting capacity and operational ceiling and our then-current nukes wouldn't even have fit in it, plus without fly by wire technology and computers it was far too longitudinally unstable. Rip captain glen Edwards.
It's weird how you say "it could achieve X speed" on a plane that never left the idea stage and relied on not fully fleshed out technology as that implies there would be no manufacturing or developing issues that would limit the actual capabilities of said plane. Saying "it was planned to have X speed/range/capacity" seems much more sensible.
I think the author was thinking of the Yak 141, who's design was actually influential to the F-35 when it was in much earlier stage of development, but even that one had at least two prototypes built
@@niggalini us company paid the company behind the yak141 out of going bankrupt in return for the yak141 design and even had them build some for testing of the Vtol engine
15:00 "in the 70's when oil was cheap and in high demand" you mean the same 1970s when America had it's gas shortage and was in a recession (with the crooks being the only people not effected by it)??
The submersible sea plane is an awesome concept! I feel like if it had been built (and worked) it would have had multiple iterations just because the military would have liked it so much.
Wow! All those planes are amazing.. and seeing the very last one on the list reminds me of Ace Combat sized aircraft like the XB-O, Gleipnir, Arkbird and the Agaion. Never will i forget the attack on the Agaion Heavy Command cruiser and approaching it head on as the aircraft glimmers in the far distance, being refueled by a fleet of KC-10's only to see how it dwarfs my own F15 after making a high speed pass. I always wonder if such planes will ever exist, but probably not.
In a WINGS chapter about the B36 they explained that the B49 was in contention for the bomber role at that time but some unexplained politics hindered it from being selected. It had its day many decades later and shortly before his death, Jack Northrop was shown a model of what today is known as the B2 Spirit and he was told it had been chosen for production. It was well known since the beginning that the flying wing was a brilliant design.

@@Sashazur Those were all engines that was one of the biggest problems it had. Back then engines weren't as powerful, So, they would've needed that many. Either way, I can't imagine how loud that thing would've been flying in it or as a resident in a city next to it.
CL-1201 sounds like a ace combat plane.
Today is a blessed day, for FnE has uploaded once again!
I love this comment. I shared it with my partner
@@FoundAndExplained YAK-141 seems interesting...
Flying Wing XB-35 and YF suffered one fatal flaw for bombers. It couldn't hit a target because of the yawing wing wobble caused by the lack of a rudder, or the fly by wires computer control to dampen it out (as used with the B2).
The Tr-3b black manta
Kinda looks like a UFO which prevents kid from saying "Look a bird!" Instead of kids saying that
They'll just run away
Wow,first time I have watched one of your videos and loved it 👍
**Never built**
Yak-38
+Doubt
Quite interesting video, thank you! But... Yak-38 was at regular service in the SU Navy; Yak-141 was built as an experimental one; MC-21 just begins its life and 7 planes are built for various tests, 100+ items are in production pipeline.
I know for sure that those three cannot be qualified as "never built" but what about the rest of the list? ;)
Yak-38 was actually built and Internet service the Yak-41 experimental supersonic which Lockheed did help with at the end of its development life before the project was scrapped
All four of the Yak-41/141 prototypes were built and flown years before Lockheed came into the picture. Lockheed proposed paying for the construction of 3-5 upgraded prototypes, but with all the chaos in the collapsed country, they realized this would be too risky. Ultimately they ended up just buying the Yak-141 tech docs in order to employ them in their own designs. That's all the "help" Lockheed provided in this development.
i definitely expected to see a plane the size of a small asteroid great video btw
😳😳😳 6:02 The Secret Airplane of the Classic Episode of The X-Files "Dreamland" where Fox Mulder and Morris Fletcher change their bodies because a defect of the engine of this strange Ship. Excellent Video👏👏👏!!!
Love seeing this channel grow and the dedication you have to your fans is unmatched. A rare feat nowadays
Awesome video Nick! Perfect for nr 100 because it's basically a compilation of all/most videos that you have made so far. Keep up the great work man! ✌️
I can't be the only one who uses these concepts as KSP designs lol
What an informative and entertaining video. Love it
Great work. I'm a little late but love the channel!
16:25 Imagine if that behemoth crashed into the ground with all those people inside. Maybe that's why it wasn't built
The tow plane was also a generally stupid idea. One bout of turbulence from any of the planes would send them all crashing down
@@buddabro6722 Agreed, lol
As I remember from the TV series "The age of aerospace" sponsored by Boeing themself, the Boeing 2707 has a pair of wings which can change it's angle due to speed instead of a fixed wing design shown in the video
The swing wing design was abandoned early on as it proved to be highly impractical for a passenger plane
@@Solnoric not impractical, but too complex to design and build
@@edgardox.feliciano3127 so, you're saying it wasn't a practical thing to do.
I've always said that the Avro "Arrow" should not have been cancelled. If Canada had continued, they could have sold the jet interceptor to other countries to defray the costs and lower the price per unit. However, the incoming Government was, as corporations do, looking only at their "bottom line", and missiles were cheaper. Still pissed after all these years.
You have my middle names and I agree
17:20. The fans outside the engines did the same thing as the XF-84H Thunderscreech. It had a subsonic vibration that messed up the internal systems in the people that got close to it.
Another great job and video!
Messerschmitt Me 163 Komet, I would like you to make a video about the one and only rocket fighter (I guess)
Great suggestion but the Komet wasn’t the only rocket fighter in WWll, the Natter and Japanese Okha also saw limited action and a few more types were prototyped ( If i recall correctly the russians also built a small straight wing rocket beriev)
Horten 229 is also interesting.
Flying wing by Germany.
@@000theUnforgiven000 seems like the Natter was right on the borderline between fighter and human-piloted SAM
and the Okha was a purpose-built kamikaze plane more akin to a cruise missile
@@boymahina123 Facts. That said still rocket engined and judging the Komet on pilot casualty rates you’d be forgiven for thinking its also a kamikaze
@@000theUnforgiven000 I mean, hastily built winged tin cans with rocket engines that use fuel that can explode when you blow on it too hard arent gonna be all that survivable. (Obviously exaggeration, but it's pretty close)
You should change the title to “Aircraft that never made it into production”.
They builded 231 Yak-38.
Nice video mate!
Northrops XB-35 and YB-49 were built. And they have flied those years. They were not put into service, but still, they are not just concepts tho
RIP AN-225. Guess the second-to-last plane will be built
This is the most beautiful Video I've ever seen.
i think you mixed up the Yak-38 with the Yak-141
the 38 was built in large numbers and served as the soviet Harrier equivalent, the 141 was in part even funded by LM and remained in the prototype stage
"Served as the soviet Harrier equivalent"
I wouldny go that far, but still a good vtol aircraft
This is great, very good production values. I'm glad I got the chance to fly on the A380 a couple of times, such an amazing aircraft. It makes me really sad to see it's program end. At least it became reality unlike most of the others in this list.

I've just now found your vids. Very good vids. I might subscribe.
Found and Explained do you have a free resource for the concept aircraft design 3d models? I want to make a Sci-fi ship but I need reference aircraft models to work with.
5:37 yea its real its obviously a star wars star destroyer
13:47 that doesn't sound a bad idea
It’s a dorito
Nvm I saw the Black Manta
Are you ever gonna tell us how many passengers the triple decker airliner could hold? 14:02
Honestly, from the title I was expecting the biggest aircraft concepts that were never built. Still a good video though. Oh and no way would the YB-49 have been a contender against the B-36, it didn't have anything like the range or lifting capacity and operational ceiling and our then-current nukes wouldn't even have fit in it, plus without fly by wire technology and computers it was far too longitudinally unstable. Rip captain glen Edwards.
Yes, I like everything found and explained
Excellent video. Thank you.
OMG the X-22 is from the 60's, would it kill you to do 10 seconds of research?
And i did a whole video on it! my bad! not 90s, 60s!!!!!
It's weird how you say "it could achieve X speed" on a plane that never left the idea stage and relied on not fully fleshed out technology as that implies there would be no manufacturing or developing issues that would limit the actual capabilities of said plane. Saying "it was planned to have X speed/range/capacity" seems much more sensible.
Many of the planes he mentioned were built and tested. The title of the video is quite misleading.
The billions of dollars Elon Musk put into Twitter could've been used to create these beautiful aircraft wonders. A shame... 😔
I prefer Twitter
@@RandyBaumery-s4i You're joking
@@RandyBaumery-s4ii preffer aircrafts
He couldn’t control and manipulate large numbers of people that way.
You are being controlled right now.
i was a bit disappointed, that u havent included the flying hotel but it was still a good vid
i make half of this aircraft with the 3d pen! thaks for all that brains who make this! SICK!!
231 Yak-38s were built... misleading. I still liked it tho.
I think the author was thinking of the Yak 141, who's design was actually influential to the F-35 when it was in much earlier stage of development, but even that one had at least two prototypes built
@@niggalini us company paid the company behind the yak141 out of going bankrupt in return for the yak141 design and even had them build some for testing of the Vtol engine
15:00 "in the 70's when oil was cheap and in high demand" you mean the same 1970s when America had it's gas shortage and was in a recession (with the crooks being the only people not effected by it)??
The submersible sea plane is an awesome concept! I feel like if it had been built (and worked) it would have had multiple iterations just because the military would have liked it so much.
The Martin P6M SeaMaster was actually built. The YB-49 was built also.
You should get more subs these vids are really good
Rip Antonov-a-225 😭
Its litteraly a Warcrime to kill a Sleeping Grandmother😢, the only one
an225 not dead 😡😡😡😡😡
planes don't die
Wow! All those planes are amazing.. and seeing the very last one on the list reminds me of Ace Combat sized aircraft like the XB-O, Gleipnir, Arkbird and the Agaion.
Never will i forget the attack on the Agaion Heavy Command cruiser and approaching it head on as the aircraft glimmers in the far distance, being refueled by a fleet of KC-10's only to see how it dwarfs my own F15 after making a high speed pass.
I always wonder if such planes will ever exist, but probably not.
Na that the Arsenal bird from ace combat 7 1:41
A lot of these concepts have only ever been publicized in the pages of Popular Mechanics and Popular Science
In a WINGS chapter about the B36 they explained that the B49 was in contention for the bomber role at that time but some unexplained politics hindered it from being selected. It had its day many decades later and shortly before his death, Jack Northrop was shown a model of what today is known as the B2 Spirit and he was told it had been chosen for production. It was well known since the beginning that the flying wing was a brilliant design.
