"Let's talk in terms of octane, even though the measurement system was not popular at the time. By not popular I mean that the octane rating didn't even exist yet." I don't know why I found this so funny.
WW1 aircraft did have wheel suspension ... of sorts: the axle was lashed to the landing gear frame with a sort of wrapped bungee cord that added some limited shock absorption. (It rests in the trough of the V-shaped struts, so it can move up a bit when the planes weight is on the wheels)
Some historical notes: * 10mm machine guns would be a major firepower advantage over the real WWI aircraft, which used either 7.62mm (Entente) or 8mm (German) guns, though I wonder if such large and energetic ammunition might have a negative effect on the plane's stability as a firing platform, not to mention weight issues. * Parachutes in WWI were exclusive to Central Powers aircraft as the Entente leadership thought being able to bail out would promote cowardice, and parachutes were quite bulky and heavy at the time. They also were not widely available even to the Germans until the war was almost over. * The total loss castor oil lubrication system was exclusive to radial engine craft like the Sopwith Camel, Nieuport, or Fokker Dr.I. Inline/V engined planes like the SE.5, SPAD, Albatros, Pfalz, Fokker D.VII, and your design did not have this problem, though they did have the problem that if you took even a single hit to your radiator you had about five minutes to find a place to land before your engine quit. The engine performance is also superior to almost any aircraft of the war, certainly beating the 180 horsepower Mercedes D.III engine that your design imitates. I would certainly not want to go up against this thing in a Pfalz or Albatros in Il-2 Flying Circus, I would have a minor advantage in turn rate but otherwise be completely outclassed. A Fokker D.VIIF with the 230 horsepower BMW engine would hang with it, but only barely.
Yup! The quality of pilot safety with good quality parachutes. Plus surprisingly accurate fuel gauges, oil temperature, and water temperature. Plus fully open cockpit allowing for full all around visibility. Stacked with 10 mm high velocity machine guns. Plus 10,000 ft per minute climb rate, plus a turn rate that outclassed almost all other planes. And shockingly fast as well, plus 200 horsepower engine. And finally, amazing control surfaces for rudder, elavators, and ailerons. Excellent jack of all trade. This means the Central Powers are guaranteed to be wrecked!
9:21 Parachutes might have existed in ww1, but they were pretty much only used by airship/balloon crews. They were considered too heavy for aeroplane use as they basically weighed as much as a extra crewman and that was really more than most aircraft of the day could manage without major loss of performance. Which would make them uncompetetive in air combat. There was also a fear among some nations that giving their aircrew parachutes might diminish their combat motivation as they'd just bail out at the first sign of trouble! This existed largely because those in high command had never been IN an aircraft in their lives, let alone had to go to war in one.
They did exist, but they weren't exactly reliable. The few pilots who had access typically preferred to try and land their plane or just self delete if it was hopeless as bailing usually meant getting hit by the tail of your plane and spending what was left of your life paralyzed IF you survived the fall. Those Gen 1 Sky-Knights were made of something else entirely
castor oil sickness was a very, very documented thing but it was pretty much for rotary engines that needed the oil that'd be stable at those conditions - most pilots' autobiographies/journals/whatnot mention the stomach cramps and would often prefer foods that'd normally cause constipation in an attempt to prevent the gut-wrenching after-effects of flying
With the great war continuing for what felt like ages, many of civillians living in alliance territory grew weary and secretly escaped to safer places. One such safe spot would be the nation of Bo, physically seperated enough from the chaos to provide comfort. But as their great leader, king Bo Bo III the wise would have it, "there are no free snackies", and put immigrants into crippling debt. One unnamed German refugee was a young man with an avid passion for aviation, who, after a fateful encounter with a man named Hawk Ryede, was put to work in the Hawk locomotion company who was trying to spread its wings into the aviation business.
1:18 it's hilariously accurate since first air to air combat consisted of pilots firing handguns at each other, Colt 1911 included. There was even a version with extended mag and a brass catching cage attached to it so that it wouldn't damage the plane
Some WW1 planes did contain suspension, though it was very rudimentary. It was usually just some rubber bands that applied pressure to the wheel's axle (at least for the Fokker D.VII)
The way the Ace Combat franchise generally gets around the real world politics is by having their games take place in the world of "Strangereal", a fictitious world to have wild conflicts take place in complete with superweapon bosses.
Definitely looking forward to more episodes in this series. About the castor oil, according to one aviation museum, pilots would typically rush to the bathroom after missions because of it, although there are very few actual accounts of mid-air emergencies. Those long scarves they typically wore would actually be used to clear the face and goggles of oil that leaked out of the engines
This is going to be an amazing series. The only other thing I could think of would be fun to see a history according to the lack of heavier than air travel 😂 or planes designed specifically to taking our godzilla or kong
This is such a great idea for a series man, please do some more episodes, also, thanks for making such great videos, you have actually helped respark my interest in aerospace engineering.
I loved playing Rise of Flight before my Thrustmaster Flight X HOTAS got too noisy to work with I love the low speeds, the much I have to use my sense of direction, how much more the weather and my management of the vehicle affects the ultimate outcome of a sortie. The absolute RAW nature of the combat, you are up there, literally fighting for your life, neither of you can just book it, you haven't just splashed them with a missile several nm away
So excited, I can't wait for what you build for your 50's - 60's aircraft! The time period in which you could basically slap on the biggest, loudest engines and fly as fast and as high as you wanted to!
I'd love to see more of this series. Hypothetical designs and technology evolution pathway are cool enough already. Combine that with with being from a fictional country, and all for fighter craft? Even better.
What you should do for an extra safety instrument is just have a level, the kind with a bubble in water you use for carpentry If you can do that in this game
Caaalllled out 1:34 Im likin this so far Edit: I loved it. Make more! Also, it would be neat if you compared it to some of the victor's of each age's top airplanes, so we can imagine how it might've faired in combat
Also, that line; “See that place up there where no human can breathe or even survive more than a minute? We fight wars up there to flex on God.” That right there made me sub, the Albatross love came after that so I knew I made the right choice. :) Also, the Hawk is a pretty decent rate fighter, fast with hella turn radius. Oh yeah, I’m in.
That one "personal account" of castor oil fume induced bowel movements was probably just one pilot's way of trying to explain away crapping himself mid-flight.
I do admit that this needs to be a series, but i also recently rewatched the video with the trainer with "detachable" wings, and i really really want a lifting body video
Aviation evolved significantly in World War II. There were aircraft introduced at the start of World War II that were completely out of service by the end.
8:42 since they didn't have the companion technology to make most of those gauges yet, what do you expect? The only gauges they *could* have were a few status gauges (fuel, oil, rpm, fluids and temp) No radar or sensors for altitude or speed, no gps for mapping. And most of these developments were installed with out requiring them as they were all things pilots had been begging for
Dude this plane looks amazing! I can’t wait to see an interwar design, though I’m curious if you’ll go for a monoplane like a P-26, or a closed cockpit biplane like the Gloster Gladiator.
You should do a series(?) where you just expand the lore of the UFB, and cover tanks with Sprocket, planes with Flyout, and a space program or something with KSP.
We need this to be a series, I beg of you
Yes
It is a series check the description :)
Learn to read.
LIKE THE VIDEO!!!!!!!!
We all have to create hundreds of TH-cam accounts and like the video imma try and get my grandma to join in
Bo is the geneva conventions worst nightmare
Im all for it. Just a bunch of suggestions anyways. UFB pride!
Geneva suggestions
@@mcpenguin001 yep. How can any country call another country on their BS when they aint even cleaned up home?
@@mcpenguin001Can have slaughter without laughter. 😀
@@jtjames79 true
Bro is actually just making his own war thunder tech tree
This series should be put in as an April fools event
@@Francisco-kv1ktBro I hope so
Yeass
Honestly? I may wanna do so with tanks and Sprocket.
@@flameendcyborgguy883 That's actually a good idea that I didn't think about
"Let's talk in terms of octane, even though the measurement system was not popular at the time. By not popular I mean that the octane rating didn't even exist yet."
I don't know why I found this so funny.
because it was lol
Even fuel in your average car in like 1940 -1950 was like 40-50 octane on a good day, modern fuel runs so much nicer in older engines.
WW1 aircraft did have wheel suspension ... of sorts: the axle was lashed to the landing gear frame with a sort of wrapped bungee cord that added some limited shock absorption. (It rests in the trough of the V-shaped struts, so it can move up a bit when the planes weight is on the wheels)
I did not expect 2:29 that’s too real
Incredibly based
that line was raw ._.
Fuckin ON POINT FOR REAL
fr bro i was just like wait a minute... also im guilty of this lol but those damn ac130 edits are so badass man
I hope this series continues, and maybe after making the present day jet you could speculate what the future of aviation would be like.
in the future we will be riding AI controlled airfryers 20km into the sky!

Just a heads up, the Camel and co had *rotary* engines as opposed to radials. Other than that, you’re spot on for the rest of it
The U.F.B: *exists*
The Central Powers: *oh I'm sorry, DID I FUCKING ASKED FOR YOU TO EXIST?*
Lol

That biplane be bussin’
That plane looks quite powerful for a wwi fighter. You have an interwar fighter right there.
Accidentally worldbuilding a massive early-20th weapons exporter
1:18 it's hilariously accurate since first air to air combat consisted of pilots firing handguns at each other, Colt 1911 included. There was even a version with extended mag and a brass catching cage attached to it so that it wouldn't damage the plane
This needs to be a series
Literally subscribed just for this serie. I wanna see this Ace Combat like fictional nation evolve.

5 seconds in and i can already tell this is a banger. 🔥🔥🗣️
1:15 “we just have wars there, to flex on god”

I'm scared for your first jet fighter in this series, but I will also desperately await it.
You should also do a bomber with each fighter generation
(this also can be a separate series)
Just stumbled on this channel today. Lets see the next gen. I'm sold at this point.
pretty cool idea, would love to see a continuation of this series.
This is absolutely beautiful, the editing in this is just amazing. We do in fact need a series like this.
Really need a part 2 for this! Insanely interested to see the UFB's technological supremacy take hold! :D
This needs to be a series
Love this series can’t wait for more
F for santos dumont, the creator of the airplane, he killed himself because his creation was weaponized for war
this idea seems very fun to watch please do a part 2
This is such a great idea for a series man, please do some more episodes, also, thanks for making such great videos, you have actually helped respark my interest in aerospace engineering.
That's such a good idea for a series, have my like and hopefully we'll see it to the end !
I would love a series like this
this is peak, i absolutely love this
subbed and really, really hoping to have this turn into an actual series
This is such an awesome concept for a series! Can't wait for the next ep
I love the idea of this series and I'm already looking forward to seeing how all the other planes turn out!
I loved playing Rise of Flight before my Thrustmaster Flight X HOTAS got too noisy to work with
I love the low speeds, the much I have to use my sense of direction, how much more the weather and my management of the vehicle affects the ultimate outcome of a sortie.

So cool to see how your designs and video quality improves over time, i remember watching you at 500 subs. great content dude keep em' coming!
Can't wait for a part 2!
actually some planes had suspensions like the Fokker D.VII but they were like rubber bands mounted in the wheels
This is definitely really cool, you should continue the series!!
The Sopwith Camel used a bungie chord over the axel as a suspension, great video about an amazing era of aviation
I'd love to see more of this series. Hypothetical designs and technology evolution pathway are cool enough already. Combine that with with being from a fictional country, and all for fighter craft? Even better.
So, you’ve basically created Belka but wet.
2:01 Well, I'm certainly glad you're out here supporting the good guys.
What you should do for an extra safety instrument is just have a level, the kind with a bubble in water you use for carpentry
If you can do that in this game
This series is such an awesome idea! Please keep going with it
This is something I would love to watch in depth I can't wait to see what domestic designs you come up with!
This is my absolute favorite kind of video, history with memes and comedy
Caaalllled out 1:34
Im likin this so far
Edit: I loved it. Make more! Also, it would be neat if you compared it to some of the victor's of each age's top airplanes, so we can imagine how it might've faired in combat
I know some ww1 planes had instruments on the wings which I find cool
Really like this video! Defintley should make this a series
I absolutely love WWI aircraft and would love to see some more. Also, this sounds like a cool series idea.
Very interesting video series concept and your commentary is also nice to listen to. Looking forward to more plane designs :)
Looking forward to this series, I already watched part 2 and subscribed. Good luck
Oh my guy, my brother in Albatross, you have brought such joy to my heart. :) Yeah, the D.V is just beautiful!
Also, that line; “See that place up there where no human can breathe or even survive more than a minute? We fight wars up there to flex on God.” That right there made me sub, the Albatross love came after that so I knew I made the right choice. :)
Also, the Hawk is a pretty decent rate fighter, fast with hella turn radius. Oh yeah, I’m in.
I love this, incredible idea, especially if you sorta iterate upon past designs to show a sort of tech tree.
DEFINITELY continue the series, it’s super interesting.
Hopefully we do get a part 2 at one point. Curious as to what designs might appear
Hope this becomes a series
This must become a series, regardless of the time gap between episodes also good job, it looks good!
This would be an absolutely SICK series
That one "personal account" of castor oil fume induced bowel movements was probably just one pilot's way of trying to explain away crapping himself mid-flight.
Now waiting for part 2. Never saw your channel till this video and I love the idea of this series
I remember when I got a sneak peak on this when I met you in the server messier, great video as always
I do admit that this needs to be a series, but i also recently rewatched the video with the trainer with "detachable" wings, and i really really want a lifting body video
This is such an interesting idea for a series. Cant wait for part 2
Dude, this is a great project, keep it up!
1:36 Yak-3 my beloved.
"We have wars up there to flex on god" LMAOO
I think the flag design is really neat, and I hope the series continues! :)
Aviation evolved significantly in World War II. There were aircraft introduced at the start of World War II that were completely out of service by the end.

Hope you make a part 2, super cool idea, just found your channel and subscribed, love all the detailed info as you built and then flew the plane
Great to see a fellow Albatros D.III and D.V fan
I don't subscribe often but for this, I will. Looking forward to the next parts over the next few months.
2:20 - 2:48 was an absolutely wild and based segment
100% want to see more. This was 10/10!
Hell yeah, I'd love to see this as a series!
just stumbled across you from this video. Looking forward to a series if it does end up happening!
Quite a beauty, do more, wanna see that evolution
Saw the thumbnail, watched the intro.. this is the format
I love this idea, please make it into a series!
You should do a series(?) where you just expand the lore of the UFB, and cover tanks with Sprocket, planes with Flyout, and a space program or something with KSP.
This definitely need to be a series❤❤
People, we need all to like this video, we need the next episodes!
We absolutely need a series
You seam to love the same royalty free music as the swivel man
Great idea for a series! Can’t wait to see the next ones!
Dude's literally just reinvented the Albatros D.III.
Nice work, really hoping for a part 2
Epicness, looking forward to the rest of the series!
During the late war most planes had suspension and brakes and they had gauges in the cockpit for fuel pressure oil pressure etc
Just a little ago you were at 30k now your almost 50k! Love your channel
