Adorable ! Il est bon de rappeler que c'est Mr Claude LELAIE pilote d'essais qui a mis au point ce petit " monstre ".......Et qu'ensuite il a mené les essais de......l' A 380...Authentique !
A friend years ago had the snowmobile engine powered version. Without brakes we had stand by each wing tip for engine start (hand prop) and run up. He always stayed within gliding distance of the field and said if you leaned forward or backward in the seat....the tiny thing would go up or down. Pretty squirrally I always thought!!! Took some courage to fly I think
This video footage was from at least 8 years ago but maybe even longer. It's sad that it didn't take off because it seems astounding. The actual CriCri aircraft was developed around 50 years ago in France. In 2010, an electric adaptation became the first ever electric aircraft to cross the English Channel. In the same year it also set a record for the fastest electric aircraft. It's hard to find a lot of info on even the aircraft let alone this Jet engine version. An aspiring French (or any national) filmmaker could make a really nice story here :)
I am 68 , i remember one the first flights of this jwell in july 1973 at Montargis airfield RSA meating , i was just 17 !!! , time is runing so fast ... The year i got my first solo on à jodeld112 , Michel Colomban the designer , made sevrals others jwells the MC 100 Banbi which was declined as MCR 01 plane and MCR UL ultra light carbon made , and finely the Luciole one seater ultra light : en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colomban_MC-30_Luciole
There's no shortage of info on the plane outside of straight up plans for it. The engines are just RC turbine engines, they look very similar in size to the ones I have in my models, I would figure around 50 to 80 lbs of thrust each. In several other videos of these planes it looks like they've tried different brands of engines, I"m not sure about these blue ones, but there's a video with some gray ones which I believe may be AMT Turbines or Jetcat
That is so nice you should have a fleet of different aircraft I'd build a Lear and a Falcon 10 or 20, I wish I could be 20 years old again so I could have time to design and build different airframes, and I thought building and flying hang gliders was the in thing back in the 70's! Great aircraft my man !
@@clavo3352 Then you are hardened to being hammered. There is little negative when you can only see positive. That's what this world needs. Depends upon to be honest. Be the change you want to see at all costs.
@@garrykennedy5484 Oh I was self actualized once; about 1978 for about 6 weeks . That was really nice. Then some Satanic type person filled me with doubt and it was all gone. Tried like hell to get it back, for about 25 years, but then I forgot why. Life happens
If only those engines were good for more than 25 hours between service, this would be awesome. As it stands, I'd rather have a pair of axiro rotary motors with a combined 80 hp. Also, my favorite mini plane is the Davis DA-11.... but I also don't have a plane, and you guys do, so you've got that going for you.
The countryside looks remarkably like that near me. I live south of the City of Perth in Western Australia. Pleanty of emus round here but I have yet to see a condor! Great job guys!!
@@steelshotproductions I stayed in Copperas Cove once when I was visiting a friend who was stationed at Ft Hood. Serpentine is drier and flatter than Hill Country and there's emus and kangaroos instead of white-tails and turkeys. Instead of rattlesnakes, we've got tiger snakes. The humidity is lower here in WA, too - Except maybe this week.
The pilot speaking at the start of the clip is an Afrikaans speaking South African, although the airfield seems to have been positively identified as being in W. Australia.
I thought it sounded rather loud from the video of it taxiing. It is difficult for me to judge noise level based upon a video. I am sure it gets quieter the more one flies it.
Perhaps I'm mistaken but don't the flaperons usually go right to the tips? Are they shortened because of flutter or because of tip stall? I've seen a "normal" Cri-Cri doing a roll in France.
So the aircraft ego i VH-zse and thew initial call is to serpentine, a town in west Australia. aircraft is registered to a dutch man in australia. interesting
Hi really cool 😎 if the jets engines are omnidirectional you could takeoff 🛫 vertical & transition into fixed wing horizontal. Take care, good flight & God speed. 🍀
It should have been designed to have the engines in the back. To have it look just like the A-10 attack jet. That would have been wicked awesome! Then the pilot could be forward of the wings for an unobstructed view without the wings blocking the view. Probably would have been quieter for the pilot also. Still a cool plane though.
@@jean-pauldelomez5591 yes I agree. It's an amazing little plane that doesn't need a ton of power to fly well. I would like to some modify the design to have the engines mounted in the back and the pilot seating further forward at the leading edge of the wings. Then it would look more like the A-10 Warthog jet. :)
Yes it is probably possible, but it requires a new drawing and a complete recalculation of the aircraft for reasons of balance : Engineer's work ! Look at the BD 5 jet . And depends the air regulation laws of the country you are living , to know if is it or no possible for you .But a project which requires tons of hours working
@@jean-pauldelomez5591 Na, I think it could be done quickly. The design is already there. It just needs to be modified to get the W&B within a safe margin. Just move the engines pylons behind the wing and move the pilot seat/cockpit forward to where the pilot's butt is at the leading edge or just barely in front of it. It's possible that it may need to lengthen the fuselage slightly to ease any W&B issues.

If you feel yourself able to manage such a project so get it , but stay safe for your familly and your friends who'll always needs you ! death sometime comes faster than we could imagine ...also when its matter to fly !
More than 20 years ago I saw a noise cancelling system that quitened jet engine noise. I think it would be interesting to see noise cancellation attached to these engines. ps I would not have the bxxalls to fly one of these.
It's amazing how much thrust those small jet engines make 🇺🇲
210 newtons
80 knots? not really.
(=47.1 lbs) ! Is 210 N each?
@@givenfirstnamefamilyfirstn3935 Yes, around 20Kg thrust seems about right for jet engines that size.
is this fake video? how is this possible

this is not electric
@@NionXenion-gh7rf no shit nobody said this exact one was
@@NionXenion-gh7rf correct, it's the jet version.
it is amazing how much noise those tiny engines make!
That is crazy, but cool and amazing, Jet.
That is just a beautiful build! Thanks for the ride! Nothing equals the whine of a turbine!
Eeeei que bien!! Saludos desde la tierra de Gabilondo Soler Cri Cri México!

Merci pour ce moment de pur plaisir qu'est cette vidéo !!!
Wow......I am drooling........!!!
Thanks for posting. Very stable cameras too! Looks like a 60 minute timer set to 25 minutes? Great idea!
You are living the dream, my friend
I'd rather be a CriCri than a Paraglider ....yes i would...if i only could! So....what is the fuel burn on that machine? It's cool!
Kerosene or jet fuel.
I'd rather be a hammer than a nail. But I'm a nail.

This is just wonderful. Thank you.
Coolest thing I have seen this week and I waste a LOT of time on the internet.
Super innovation 👍
A neat fair weather commuter type aircraft. The small engines appear they would be ripped off the fuselage! I was surprised to see it
in flight!

That's Serpentine Airfield (Southeast of Perth).
The country side looks very similar to me as well, here in Central Texas known as the "Hill Country".

@@wallyedmunds2181 Yes - Plenty of people here in WA are from SA.
'n boer in 'n jet!!! Lekker!!!
Impressive. Real impressive.
Excellent video! Aviation vids really don’t need music, however nice job.
I love it, thanks also for the music :-). The tune is very well known in Belgium
Give some stats . . . airspeed, rate of climb, stall speed, fuel capacity, fuel consumption, thrust . . . thanks
It's a fantastic achievement... I used to see this aircraft a lot, when I flew out of Serpentine
Could this possibly be the smallest twin jet plane ever?
Already the smallest twin.
Very cool and it sounds fairly quiet!
I thought it sounded rather loud from the video of it taxiing. It is difficult for me to judge noise level based upon a video. I am sure it gets quieter the more one flies it.
Very COoL. Boeing should consider these as an upgrade to their fleet! Oh Snap. Cheers from So.Ca.USA 3rd Casa On the Left.

Kyk hoe lekker vlieg die boere nou!
Excelente..nota 10 👍
genial eres un superman!!!!!!
Wow! What a nifty little plane!
One of those jet engines would make an unbelievable leaf blower. 🤔
There's a TH-cam video for just that.
Would have been so much better without the music!
That’s one opinion. I liked it. :)
@@jorgentoll314 it’s nice to hear what the plane sounds like.
@@BOPilot5517 I agree. But you can hear the aircraft sounds as well as the music. I just thought the El Condor Pasa was a nice touch.
I absolutely love this with the music. And if you're familiar with the song, then you will see that it's fitting
I absolutely agree👍! And the terrible sound quality of the song makes it even more annoying. Smh
Incredible airplane....thanks for the ride
That looks like the most fun ever!!!
Nice! Very cool.
Very Cool Plain
"Batteries to power…..turbines to speed!"
Amazing such little engines so much thrust
It’s seems in a flying motorcycle 👍👍👍
Maravilhoso e criativo
Just amazing...😊
Que rico debería ser volar un aparato de estos...
Music is perfect
Genial !✨👍
Fantastic!
Ek moes 2 keer luister om seker te maak ek hoor reg. Prettige vliegtuig en mooi taal
Espectacular.
Deadly in the inexperienced hands..
Every plane is deadly in inexperienced hands even the easiest , some killed themself flying Rallye .
Nice except the backround noise.
I give him less than a year!
Magnificent! How does it glide with no power?
Glide ratio is around 6
I'm a glider pilot and that would be awesome to have pop out of the glider to get you to altitude
Lad.. How did that thing get off the ground with the brass balls you have.... Brave man
Very cool! Must be a joy to fly and no torque.
How's your single engine performance?
pretty good I think given the recent video
Looks like fun!
Loved the 🎵
rather listen to the machine than really bad music
Мечты сбываюцца😜🤘🎸🌴

How creative.

The video started off so cool… until the music started… why?
This is what you get when you strap jet engines on a lunch box.
Clear prop!
Have you had the courage to solve the lubrication and continuous service life issues of the vortex jet?
Awesome plane, please lose the music...!!!
Hi do you still have the 10liter fuel capacity? What range are you getting?
The plane should be the star of the show. Lower the music volume.
I want to see you land at LAX during December
Why was there an ice cream truck blasting its music the whole time we were supposed to listening to the jet engines and wind noise.????? Why?????????
Why would you have the jet in front of the plane very loud ????????
Coz, you have to balance it properly... It would be super Tail heavy....That's verdy, verdy, bad....😮😮
VH Aircraft Registration?? That's Australia ??
Meet Gorge Jetson 😊
Wondering what the cruise speed and range is.
Could this plane use larger jets and handle more speed? Power?
What is the range & fuel burn rate?
Thanks, enjoyable video, sound not so bad, far better than the JE NE REGRET REIN one. Thanks again. Asi in mph or knots?
More than 20 years ago I saw a noise cancelling system that quitened jet engine noise.
I think it would be interesting to see noise cancellation attached to these engines.
ps I would not have the bxxalls to fly one of these.
Quelle est la vitesse de décrochage ?
The entire Jetson family would be proud (George, Jane, daughter Judy, his boy Elroy, and even Astro).
What’s the range?
So fun!
pls tell me where i can buy onee
Range?
Brave guy
