But that's literally the exact opposite of clickbait, so.... huh? I think you mean: This is a super fascinating subject that sounds too crazy to be true, but is totally real. That's not clickbait, that's fascinating content. Thanks RealEngineering! (Tho, I've seen this before, I like his more engineering-focused coverage of the topic.)
Dad was an engineer, and a huge aerospace geek, and he talked about Avro a lot. We live only a couple of hours away from where that Avro facility used to be, and back in the late 80s, he took me to see it. Unfortunately, all that remained then was a vast field full of weeds and a few decrepit outbuildings, surrounded by fences topped with barbed wire. We couldn’t get anywhere close at all. Still, I’m glad I got to see the place where so many innovations were born.
@@pranaytony I really don’t know. Dad passed away more than 20 years ago, and I haven’t been back to the community where so much work on the Avro was done. Dad always considered it a huge shame that the Avro project was scuttled like it was.
Avrocar engineer: nope sorry, the saucer cant be done, after numerous tests and research we concluded it needs a pair of tiny wings to work properly Military guys: UFO saucer or nothing, this shit aint debatable
well actually the hubcap problem was just from the ground effect if they made a version powerful enough to fly it would be stable after takeoff even when it tried to tilt for movement it still probably wouldn't be good but it would be a working flying saucer
Engineers: "So this how the design would work" Financial backers: "Okay...well, what if we did that, but not" "Then it wouldn't work" "Well, it's cheaper, so try it anyway" (1 year later) "It's not working" "Well, that was a waste of our money, you should have given us a design that would work"
The reason why I chose to listen 👂 and watch 👀 this 'You Tube' video is that; flying saucer jets are a brand new thing, for both civilian and military use. It's just like what the British airman Frank Whittle did; back then in 1929, he created the first combat jet. This vehicle would replace all airplanes; eliminate all propellers and piston engines, I've read it so from a 1990s 'Reader's Digest' article segment. The title is called: 'They've Entered into the Jet Age.'
Just as Jack Northrop's flying wing couldn't fly without fly-by-wire technology (now seen in the B-2 flying wing bomber), maybe it's time we revisit this attempt at advanced engineering before it's time.
Northrop produced flying wings before fly-by-wire. The military versions were the XB-35 and YB-49. 50 YB-49s were built. The aircraft that dropped the atomic bomb in the 1953 movie "The War of the Worlds" was a YB-49. They also produced the N-9M. Sadly, the last one in existence crashed and was destroyed on 22 April 2019.
@@whimsiquisitive idk man. It would be cool for a canadian designed supersonic jet, but the cost wouldn't be worth it, especially since we could just buy USA jets without spending an inordinate amount of money on R&D.
Kevin Nunes no but he did say that the feasibility was initially tested by the Americans, and it’s widely believed that Area 51 among other things has been used as a testing center for unusual flightcraft which has led to the various UFO claims.

There's a lot of theories and possibilities with the Tic Tac and I'm open to any of them, including the theory it's a craft using advanced "anti-gravity" propulsion.

The patents were initially denied because they required unrealistic amounts of power, but the US Navy pressured them to pass under the guise China was making similar advances, and the patents could indeed work and _are already being tested & operated in some form._ The same inventor also filed a patent for a compact nuclear fusion reactor. I was never a big believer in UFO's and radical "anti-gravity"-like technology until I started looking into this whole Tic Tac/US Navy UFO saga and seeing those patents. It's some pretty interesting stuff, and I don't believe we need to be in contact with ET or reverse-engineer ET crafts to develop this kind of technology. You just need some of the brightest minds.

ADIFO looks interesting! It's a flying saucer that supposedly may be able to achieve boomless supersonic flight. There's already a miniature prototype that's been made. I'd love to see what you have to say about that!
Probably still not worth the development costs, but it would certainly be interesting to see what this could do with a computer fly-by-wire system. Failure or not, it’s a fascinating bit of aviation history. Thank you for sharing this!

Be interesting to see someone try this again today with having much more advanced control and computer systems that'd be able to better take the load of stablising and correcting for instabilities
This story in distent future will become the kind of stories that we used to hear about the ancient people who tried to fly, just by attaching bird feathers to themselves
I have listened to We are Legion (We are bob) so many times ive lost count. It's my go-to series when I'm between audible credits. :-) great to see it get some recognition!
This was the aero car, while A.V.Roe built it, it was developed with the help of the US army. The fault here isn't A.V. Roe's but the fact the army kept changing specifications.
I still think this design could probably work with modern manufacturing, materials, and computer/ fly-by-wire technologies. I don't think it would necessarily be better or even as good as other aircraft designs out there, but I think it could work. Hell, even your run-of-the-mill quadcopter (drone) has _damn_ good stabilization tech inside of it that takes what is otherwise a basically uncontrollable design and makes it viable.
It would work if you didn’t use conventional engines in a configuration that causes their natural rotation to generate instabilities. You needn’t look further than quad copter drones. Drones in general were no doubt made possible due to research on this and helicopters in tandem
Please do a video on the Avro Arrow, it's a piece of aviation history that deserves to be remembered. It had some incredible engineering and some terrible politics. It's both a high and a low point in Canadian history. One of the many terrible times that politics stifled innovation. I would love to see a video of yours on the topic.
Flaps may well get a slight bost from exhaust streams, but only on planes with wing mounted engines. Flaps actually change the chord and camber of the wing, and increase the lift coefficient of the wing, at the expense of drag, which is a bonus in landing.
I can vouch for the Bobiverse books... Interesting and hilarious, a great exploration of the consequences of a lot of technology that is on the horizon.
Nice of them to mention the Harrier but that was developed from another VTOl aircraft the Kestrel P.1127 which had it's first flight in 1960. This flying saucer was behind the times before it was even developed.
@@RealEngineering It's being written according to the author. Also I love your work, been following for years ever since the round plane windows video.
Fascinating - I wonder if the engineering and science boffins will have another go in the modern era, with the possible use of anti-gravity propulsion, instead of chemical fuel jets/rockets? Enjoyed the upload - thanks.
Fun fact: the ground effect works for wings producing lift as well as wings producing down force. The high pressure cushion of air does not explain the downforce
I can still see some use for this for say detonating small mines like those little butterfly mines like a large flying roomba. Its design would have to be beefed up to prevent it from getting its engines shredded by shrapnel tho.
the military always gives it a fancy acronym and a neat justification. "the future of aeronautical defense in close to medium air combat" or something like that. but lets be honest, someone said "lets make a flying saucer" and they went along with it.

ADIFO looks interesting! It's a flying saucer that supposedly may be able to achieve boomless supersonic flight. There's already a miniature prototype that's been made. I'd love to see what you have to say about that!
Probably still not worth the development costs, but it would certainly be interesting to see what this could do with a computer fly-by-wire system.
Failure or not, it’s a fascinating bit of aviation history. Thank you for sharing this!
They were to polite to the ailiens
Surry aboot that but might we borrow some plans eh?
H
Now we know where the whole flying saucer idea came from. What a fascinating idea! It seems like you could combine the Boundary Layer Effect and the Coanda effect into one vehicle...
Avro really was the skunkworks of the era. After all the Avro Arrow would still be one of the most advanced aircraft today, some 60+ years later..
Yes, the GOVERNMENT cancelled the project, I remember that Plaine was amazing and ahead of it's time, and remember seeing Plaines all apart, only one got saved and never
heard of again . Yes that was a big sad day... love those video keep theme coming, and thank you for the sharing buddy and always appreciated 🇨🇦 🙋♂️🥂👏👏👏👏👏👍👌🙏🌹
Flaps don't just use the coanda effect it mainly increases the surface area of the wing
Flaps down speeds up the dorsal air flow to create more lift at a lower speed, while at the same time increasing total wing area.
"blue sky" design looks like ELO space ship... their number one song is mr blue sky xD
Be interesting to see someone try this again today with having much more advanced control and computer systems that'd be able to better take the load of stablising and correcting for instabilities
This story in distent future will become the kind of stories that we used to hear about the ancient people who tried to fly, just by attaching bird feathers to themselves
I have listened to We are Legion (We are bob) so many times ive lost count. It's my go-to series when I'm between audible credits. :-) great to see it get some recognition!
The avrocar is on display at the Museum of The United States Airforce in Dayton Ohio.
This was the aero car, while A.V.Roe built it, it was developed with the help of the US army. The fault here isn't A.V. Roe's but the fact the army kept changing specifications.
Haha! And they crashed in Area 51!😂
It's renowned that even; we fellow Americans, have come a long ways from flying first world War biplanes and triplanes.
I still think this design could probably work with modern manufacturing, materials, and computer/ fly-by-wire technologies. I don't think it would necessarily be better or even as good as other aircraft designs out there, but I think it could work. Hell, even your run-of-the-mill quadcopter (drone) has _damn_ good stabilization tech inside of it that takes what is otherwise a basically uncontrollable design and makes it viable.
It would work if you didn’t use conventional engines in a configuration that causes their natural rotation to generate instabilities. You needn’t look further than quad copter drones. Drones in general were no doubt made possible due to research on this and helicopters in tandem
Love your channel and find it a great way to develop my interest in engineering :)
🙀
Seconding that We Are Legion, We are Bob rec. Such a good series of books
You guys are great ! Keep up the great work ! This is insightful and with quality to it all !
why not use the egine to power a large gyroscope? wouldnt that handel stabilization?
Please do a video on the Avro Arrow, it's a piece of aviation history that deserves to be remembered. It had some incredible engineering and some terrible politics. It's both a high and a low point in Canadian history. One of the many terrible times that politics stifled innovation. I would love to see a video of yours on the topic.
And killing the buggers by blowing up a star...it was a great series. Can’t wait for the next book
9:42 IT'S THE ENTERPRISE!!!
Azur Lane Enterprise Anime
Flaps may well get a slight bost from exhaust streams, but only on planes with wing mounted engines. Flaps actually change the chord and camber of the wing, and increase the lift coefficient of the wing, at the expense of drag, which is a bonus in landing.
I can vouch for the Bobiverse books... Interesting and hilarious, a great exploration of the consequences of a lot of technology that is on the horizon.
Nice of them to mention the Harrier but that was developed from another VTOl aircraft the Kestrel P.1127 which had it's first flight in 1960. This flying saucer was behind the times before it was even developed.
This makes my day, thank you
Interestingly if you watch The Thing (1982) the craft the eponymous creature attempts to build from helicopter parts looks very like an Avrocar.
This is the proof canadians think too much about hockey: they tried to make a flying puck and failed.
As a Canadian I take offence to that. You can never think too much about hockey. They just forgot to paint black and make it out of vulcanized rubber.
@@jasondashney haha
So they couldn't give a flying puck?
@@mathsterk 👏👏👏🤪 ha funny
Air Hockey...
the bobeverse books are awesome and one of the best books ive ever listened too
You could do an entire series on failed canadian military gear. Dynavert, arrow, velvet glove.
Should've shaped it like a Tic-Tac, apparently that's the way to go.
Hi Brian, can you please tell us how you research for your videos and from where do you gather so much accurate information from?
I would love to see all the secret military aircrafts today :D
For those interested in a homemade saucer getting loose (Balloon Boy), Internet Historian has a really good video
Bruh this is like the Flintstones for aliens 👽 0:16
I have flu and fever reaching 39c but when I saw my phone illuminated with the notification of your channel I crawled from my bed and grabbed my phone
RIP
I have 39°C fever too bro!
You’re sick and your phone wasn’t next to you? What are you?
@@anthonyc5039 But before or after drinking essential oils next to crystals?
Alberto Lando
Fever Bros!
Please make a video on the Boeing 777x.
Reminds me of those flying disks in the Incredibles lmao
My ex-wife’s grandfather worked on this and the Avro Arrow. Fun trip down memory lane.
Can vouch for We are Legion We are Bob. Great series, can't wait for book 4
I'm just learning that there is a 4th book now!
@@RealEngineering It's being written according to the author. Also I love your work, been following for years ever since the round plane windows video.
I've read all three. Can also vouch; it's my favorite series to reread. Also, thank you for telling me there's going to be a fourth book.
@@grantcawby7225 Its called 'The search for bender' coming out on audible mid-2020
It's on display at Ft Eustis, VA. On a pedestal at the front gate last time I was there. Almost 20 years ago.
Fascinating - I wonder if the engineering and science boffins will have another go in the modern era, with the possible use of anti-gravity propulsion, instead of chemical fuel jets/rockets? Enjoyed the upload - thanks.
Very smooth transition into the audible plug
WOW really informative Keep making awsome videos.
The dronecar manufactured by Ehang is the perfect flying car..
BattleTech WiGE (Wing-in-Ground-Effect) intensifies.
Fun fact: the ground effect works for wings producing lift as well as wings producing down force. The high pressure cushion of air does not explain the downforce
Last time I was this early, Showmakers Podcast was still running
I can still see some use for this for say detonating small mines like those little butterfly mines like a large flying roomba. Its design would have to be beefed up to prevent it from getting its engines shredded by shrapnel tho.
"We doint have the power captain"
Didn't use the promo but listened to all 3
I remember seeing this thing when I was a kid. They could pull it off with current technology!
the military always gives it a fancy acronym and a neat justification.
"the future of aeronautical defense in close to medium air combat" or something like that.
but lets be honest, someone said "lets make a flying saucer" and they went along with it.
I like the solution they found: turn it into an airplane.
