you are correct, this is the first time i've seen a fixed-wing aircraft with no ailerons, elevators, or rudder. usually it has at least ailerons and elevators, or combine them into elevons. having hte only "control surface" being in the exhaust path is unheard of for a fully functional aircraft. so, congratz on that success!
Dude, what you're doing is amazing, and if someone thinks otherwise they've got their heads up their flanks. Don't let the naysayer's get you down. As to your pilot's skills, don't sweat it. You get done what needs to be done done. Not everyone's a Top Gun candidate. It's a helluva lot more than I could manage.
Awesome! Pay no attention to the naysayers, man. The very fact that the craft becomes uncontrollable with zero thrust, says all that needs to be said about the flight characteristics of this model. I think with some onboard electronics, an aileron roll could be possible, as individual turbine control would be required. Well done.
I appreciate the clarification. I was skeptical of "no control surfaces" until your explanation about natural air flow. Makes sense that you lose control without throttle. looks so cool man.
Food for thought - Add a servo in the nose to operate a retractable nose ski, hinged at the front, to keep the nose up/off the grass when landing. Great job 🙂
Awesome design and fantastic flights . A suggestion how about setting throttle at plus 30% , so no zero and use a kill switch to land ?. Stops accidental compleat shutdown in the air .
@@mrbmp09 - How? If the ski is hinged/attached at the nose of the plane, pushing down, at the rear of the ski, to raise the nose off the ground - how can it get caught in the grass? No lip on the front of the ski to catch anything.
I was just watching the video on how the NASA engineers recommunicated with the Voyager 1 after 47 years, your ability to make adaptions to correct your plane reminded me of that. Great job!
Hi Very impressed having watched your last 3 vids on this And I agree it's thrust vectoring because those surfaces are only in the exhaust air stream and are changing the angle of the exhaust thrust = thrust vectoring
Outstanding on all levels. I had/flew a couple of gas planes as a kid and have always enjoyed the vids of model RC planes over the years but I've never been so inspired to build one myself!
Beautiful plane, great pilot! It just took 120 years to think out of the box...thank you. I will tell Cyrus about you. Keep the good work going and enjoy! PS- keep your last secret secret. You got something here.
Excellent good job . If you can make that . Imagine a much more natural design like more alive . Like a bird . Picture a bird . The whole flat body of a bird is the control surface . Head to feet . How does a bird stop twist it tucks its head down and leans into the wind or puts its head up and goes with the wind the slight height and position of its head is so important make the body segmented and fluid . Game changer
Incredible! What an awesome flyer. I sure would like to more about the model. I'm not in the "business" any more (too old) but still have a keen interest after a lifetime of flying models.
Hi there, I know very little about ‘thrust vectoring’ or RC planes but the way you have approached this along with your enthusiasm and problem solving is exemplary. All those that are critical and questioning are of little importance and you are obviously on to someth8ng. Well done, R.
Really enjoyed how awesome everything at this point with the design and results came out. Keep the great work. Will be great to see the design of landing gears.
I’ve never gotten into model airplanes but think it’s an awesome hobby . I’m 63 ,at an old man lol , and I have to say I’m super impressed with your build and how it flies . IMO I do t see how that’s considered anything but thrust vectoring . Great job bruh
Are you sure about that? Are you trying to say that you did both mechanical and aeronautical engineering in university? Then how on earth does this surprise you? Differential thrust to control airplanes isn't new neither is thrust vectoring. This isn't amazing or new. You literally have pusher planes on amazon that work with just differential thrust to fly and fly as well as this does with no thrust vectoring. These are 10-20 dollar airplanes that are made in china by dozens of companies. This isn't some revelation.
[Get you a nylon tarp or old "slip n slide", to have a smoother landing surface, and lessen damage done during tests/ just a suggestion...] Fascinating work,...
Take a 1/16" Dia. piano wire about 3" long, slight curve rearward and mount it to the front for a skid. Keep the nose from digging in the ground on landing. Great Job my friend! I used to build flying planes when I was in my teens. Things are a lot different now. I'm 72 years old now.
Looking forward to seeing loops. It would be interesting to see this design upscale and jet powered. That would be sooo awesome. It would be interesting to see the design and build process.
Kyle I agree with your comments starting off your video. I am a machinist and to date a lousy pilot (on my 3rd Delta Wing) but I love printing as I used to have Machinist business and now I have a bunch of printers replacing CNC equipment and do all kinds of projects and designs. Thrust vectoring all the way no control surfaces I can clearly see that. I'm going to have to figure out what to do with these planes I'm printing as a few more purchases of your stuff is coming along with some more Eclipson planes. You're planes are simple, very well designed, fun to build. Keep them coming, really enjoy watching and building.
Awesome job, BF ~ btw ~ the toilet bowl approach (circle over the landing area/approach end of runway) is actually called the "overhead approach" ~ looking forward to more vids. PS ~ send this beast to Ukraine ✌😉
wove awesome back to back videos ! you have so much of enthusiasm and passion for it that you didn't wast any time but immediately build the version two. thank you for sharing this ! God bless . take care
This is absolutely amazing! Stunning. Congratulations , just a terrific effort and results! You should go work for Elon. This is so huge, never seen anything like this, this is truly an amazing and huge step forward, an evolution in how we will forever think about about flight and the possibilities. Well done! Truly. Looking forward to seeing what’s next! Keep going man! It’s working!!!
That was a very very impressive looking first landing, the plane transitioning very smoothly to high alpha/aerodynamic brake mode with no roll instability. I think you must have nailed the c of g position. You should be tying up manufacturing rights and getting it kitted, maybe build a scaled up prototype as old geezers like me prefer that for visibility and also better handling. Gyro stabilisation would still be useful especially for damping unwanted roll in turbulent air. A kit could include (a plan for) a simple launching ramp/catapult, which would add a fun option. Manufacturers should like the simplicity and lack of moving parts. Maybe lights might help pilot orientation in poor light conditions. Well done 👍👍 Edit: Further Thoughts. If edf power fails, what's Plan B? Maybe a design with your elevon extension idea (suitably sized) is worth considering. Won't save it from a flat spin though. Or a ballistic parachute could be a real fun idea. Regarding practicing landings, you shouldn't have to be toilet bowling, moving smoothly to high alpha should be enough (its what you did on your first and excellent landing). You could practice that at height to see how the plane can be moved into (and out of) high alpha. Then start using that for landing trials (remembering that ground effect on thrust will start coming in to play). At some point, you've got to roll this thing, and maybe even try a large loop (I'm guessing flipping it round a tight loop might be easy, but big loops and cuban eights would look great if the plane can do them)
I did worked in aeronautical aviation for 35 years ! You should be proud of you and me I am ! Aerospace guy like you that can make advance the aerospace thrive . Just by doing what you have reduced to the minimum the amount of controled sufaced that in aerospace is a must that reduce the amount of failure.
He literally is not. Differential thrust to control airplanes isn't new neither is thrust vectoring. This isn't amazing or new.

Great, and i was almost finished with my NGAD made out of Balsawood and powered by a 12 inch rubber band, show off! But I have to admit, you made one hell of a model, great job.
Please don't stop with this Project. Truly an amazing design. Yes... they are Thrust Vectoring surfaces. The engines DO NOT move. People should learn the terminology and nomenclature.
Most people can not understand the difference. Those are all the ones who claimed the plane has control surfaces. Do not listen to them. They believe they know what the realy do not know, and think they have great opinons, but it is only hot air. Your achievement is amazing.
Well done Bro, just DO NOT GIVE UP, keep plugging away, keep playing with your approach landing speeds at different % levels until you find that sweet spot. One thing i have seen down the years, with real Aircraft is sometimes the Aircraft looks Fabulous, but in some scenarios depending on the build of the Aircraft, it sometimes becomes unstable, and so the Guys in the R&D section of the Aircraft manufacturer came up with adding a Bullet shaped probe to the top leading edge of the TailPlane, and in most cases cured the instability to the point of it being a real game changer, the Aircraft became a Joy to Fly. IT`s just a thought, you may like the idea, you may not, but, it may well be worth a shot. Good Luck, Can`t wait for the next Episode. The Blackburn Buccaneer Aircraft will show you what i mean if you look it up ok, Regards . .. Chris.
Fascinating!!!! Fase 2- could you remove the ailerons(?) at the exhaust,then extend the exhaust surface, superiorly and inferiorly, on both engines nozzles, and having these two surfaces move in one axis on fase 2 and move on two axis on fase-3? You could create a cleaner laminar flow and possibly better control (?). Two control surfaces on each nozzle may change flight characteristics and potential better control(?).
That shape is just sweet. On RC planes these days, it seems like you throw an electric engine on some foam, and everything flies. However, yours seems to fly as good as it looks so I want one now.
Would love to see it with two vertical stabs at about a 20-30 degree angle pointing inward out where you have the two "rails???" instead of the one tail in the middle. That would keep with the stealth look of the NGAD. I think with the two of them, you could keep them really short. (Just guessing on that).
Amazing plane maaan!! 1 thing, maybe make the nose out of tuffer material or more solid. 2nd landing was almost perfect for a belly landing. That’s kinda what to expect this way. Next can you make a bigger scale size plane like 20% bigger?
Who cares what anyone else says. That thing is awesome bro. If they have anything other then constructive applications then heck with them. I think it's great and let them make there own based on there vision. You did it based on yours and it's perfect man.
Yeah because toxic positivity doesn't cause any problems. Whatever this dude does is perfect and even he "doesn't care what anybody else has to say." I mean it is working so well for boeing and those game companies too! Just cut out any and all criticism because it makes people sad, who cares if safety is compromised as long as the workers feel good.
The stability of your model is blowing me away..... I have to digest this a bit before i can even make an intelligent comment..... The stability!!!! Nice work!
@thomgizziz you are very intelligent are you? That's okay there are lots of programs out there that can help you by the way I have tons of drones make them buy them all sorts of stuff buddy
I totally agree control surfaces that only affect motor thrust is thrust-vectoring, and not traditional ailerons that change aircraft attitude by getting control force from the airstream over the wings.
I love your design and enthusiasm :) I will probably print one of this Ngad ! I think an hybrid version should be great : vector trust and elevons. Idealy on the same servo (left vector in line with left elevon on direct drive servo). It should give you the autority at low speed/trust flight and provide a wider flight range. thumb up for the work :)
I want to build a tiny personal jet that will have about 300 hp and be STOL which will have vectored multiport thrust that will weigh less than 1200 pounds dry. My plan will be to make mine out of a lot of carbon fiber and a little bit of extruded magnesium, other than the hot parts of the motor. This just gives me more confidence. So glad I found your channel!
You do this a lot, don't you. You sit there and fantasize and tell others that you are going to do this thing that is way way out of your ability to do and then you never do it. You don't even know how to set goals do you? Tell me how much progress have you made? Absolutely zero and you have moved on to something else and done the same thing? Im shocked!
I've loved this series, such a great development and your enthusiasm is infectious. What about ducting some air from the nose into the exhaust stream, then air speed over the ducts would give you some control authority even with the power off !?
Luv the concept and watching it fly. Given that the nose seems to be getting the most damage have you thought of shaping one out of EPP foam or even the flexible packing foam used with electronics and gluing it on the front rather than using a rigid printed nose.
That forward fuselage section looks pretty much like the Skunk Works SR71 Black Bird, yes that's a lifting body. Have thought about pushing the fans forward like half to three quarters of an inch. Another thing counter rotation fans,that would help with the counter rotation ( thrust of fans).
Are you related to Elon Musk? LOL. This is a great innovation in the aviation industry. You will start a new revolution in aviation. Great job, I look forward to seeing more from you. 👍
Hey man. I've been hooked on your videos for a few days. There is something out there that needs to be developed for a stronger and light airframe. It's called "Hemp Plastic", and it's 10x stronger than steel. Ford had the formula back in '37 when they were developing their "Hemp Car". Keep doing what you're doing! I love it ❤
Can you install counter rotating motors to offset the torque problem? This would allow you to eliminate the left trim inputs required for straight and level flight allowing for optimum maneuverability in all directions. Excellent proof of concept, good job!
None. Because I can slap a couple EDF on pretty much anything and make it fly. Are you also amazed when drones fly? Enough power and you can force anything to fly.
Can you add an actuator to move the battery forward and backward, and perhaps left and right in flight. Having some control of the center of gravity might be an interesting control augmentation method. Also if it is not useful for control, it may be a nice way of adjusting trim. Furthermore is there a way to have buttons set on your controller for TOGA thrust for launch and automatic landing trust ramp down programs.
I'm buying a 3d printer! I would love a tour of your printing lab and process in video format. I've been catching a few of your videos in recent weeks, but today I'm glad to subscribe. Not going to allude to a whole lot...but I will say just a snippet....you have at least one subber who thinks it's awesome to see people replicating what they think is happening inside advanced Aerospace Defense R&D facilities.
I don't normally follow rc builds but this one is awesome. I think it's interesting how you're learning to fly it and can't wait to see you make it harder with modifications while getting better at it. I assume you'll make it with modified exhaust and I guess it seems critical to remove that fin on top. Have I assumed correctly?
you are correct, this is the first time i've seen a fixed-wing aircraft with no ailerons, elevators, or rudder. usually it has at least ailerons and elevators, or combine them into elevons. having hte only "control surface" being in the exhaust path is unheard of for a fully functional aircraft. so, congratz on that success!

Then the ski will get caught in the grass just like the nose did.

This is one of the coolest designs I’ve seen in a long time
really? It looks like a crappy sr-72 and it still has a tail.
@ I meant more functionally. The only control comes from the thrusters

And get one motor turning counter clockwise to offset the torque.

Luv the concept and watching it fly. Given that the nose seems to be getting the most damage have you thought of shaping one out of EPP foam or even the flexible packing foam used with electronics and gluing it on the front rather than using a rigid printed nose.
Much better! Forward CG is always better. We'll done ✔️ 😁💪
That forward fuselage section looks pretty much like the Skunk Works SR71 Black Bird, yes that's a lifting body. Have thought about pushing the fans forward like half to three quarters of an inch. Another thing counter rotation fans,that would help with the counter rotation ( thrust of fans).
Are you related to Elon Musk? LOL. This is a great innovation in the aviation industry. You will start a new revolution in aviation. Great job, I look forward to seeing more from you. 👍
are you related to the brown nosers?
Fascinating that the thrust vectoring induces just the right amount of yaw without any rudder!
is that not just bank and yank you don't need a rudder to turn
@@crog9750 so smoothly too!
It even sounds good ☺
It sounds like every other EDF plane out there.
Hey man. I've been hooked on your videos for a few days. There is something out there that needs to be developed for a stronger and light airframe. It's called "Hemp Plastic", and it's 10x stronger than steel. Ford had the formula back in '37 when they were developing their "Hemp Car". Keep doing what you're doing! I love it ❤
No. But I understand why you are here and you love it...
Can you install counter rotating motors to offset the torque problem? This would allow you to eliminate the left trim inputs required for straight and level flight allowing for optimum maneuverability in all directions. Excellent proof of concept, good job!
Unfortunately the best 40mm is the Xfly and they only come in one direction
Truly impressive.
I wonder how many people from the Russian and Chinese airforce (aircraft development) are going to be joining this channel.
None. Because I can slap a couple EDF on pretty much anything and make it fly. Are you also amazed when drones fly? Enough power and you can force anything to fly.
I’m a believer. Probably a little fast for me. Great work!
Busted nose and it's flying like a dream.
It is a foam airplane. I could take those engines and put them on a brick of foam and still fly it.
Can you add an actuator to move the battery forward and backward, and perhaps left and right in flight. Having some control of the center of gravity might be an interesting control augmentation method. Also if it is not useful for control, it may be a nice way of adjusting trim. Furthermore is there a way to have buttons set on your controller for TOGA thrust for launch and automatic landing trust ramp down programs.
I'm buying a 3d printer! I would love a tour of your printing lab and process in video format. I've been catching a few of your videos in recent weeks, but today I'm glad to subscribe. Not going to allude to a whole lot...but I will say just a snippet....you have at least one subber who thinks it's awesome to see people replicating what they think is happening inside advanced Aerospace Defense R&D facilities.
Really cool watching you refine this design.
The haters can thrust vector themselves back onto their own control surfaces! Great job!
He literally calls them control surfaces more than once.
I suppose each engine is rotating opposite ? otherwise this can explain de left right different trim (or the crooked vertical fin)
I don't normally follow rc builds but this one is awesome. I think it's interesting how you're learning to fly it and can't wait to see you make it harder with modifications while getting better at it. I assume you'll make it with modified exhaust and I guess it seems critical to remove that fin on top. Have I assumed correctly?
