Yep, the spinning tube craft reminds me of the spinning ship mast, and it would be interesting to install generators inside the tubes for round the world flights..! 'Oorah'
@nightflyyer I am a 4th year engineering student, we are doing our building a flettner model airplane for our final project. I was hoping I could get in touch with you regarding the simulation you created on Aerofly (that is my portion).
Congrats. That is a great project. I did not create the Flettner on Aerofly. It is one of the standard models on Aerofly RC-8 and 9. Here is the link to see the real one fly. I hope that will help you too. th-cam.com/video/hlmvHfIAszo/w-d-xo.html
@@NightFlyyer Thank you for replying. Is there any chance you know if the simulation is actually taking in to account the magnus effect, or if its just a visual model. Also do you know who made the simulation, I would love to speak with them about it.
@@kavehziaeian5575 It simulates the magnus effect perfectly. The company is Ikarus Aerofly. The owner is Torsten Hans. They are who wrote the program. Otherwise, I suggest you watch the real one fly in the link I sent you, so you can see it first hand. good luck.
@@shubol3dgamer304 Do you realize I said that in the description, but for sure, it is a real aircraft and only 1 in the world. The College in Switzerland would not loan me the real one, so I used Aerofly RC 10 Simulator Made in Germany, that is so real, it even has one of these.
I like unusual aircraft and decided to show you this Rotating Tube (Magnus effect) Model aircraft invented by 2 Swiss Students. It is totally unique and quite interesting to fly. Here I show it flying the only way I can.

Dave
Yeah, the college where the real one is on display, would not send it to me to make this video, so Aerofly RC-10 has the next best way to fly it. Thanks.
The magnus effect is just air pulled by the rotation due to friction which forms higher pressure below. I am curious how this is different than maybe a cyclo rotor . Is there any benefit from using the magnus effect? I know it's just for fun, but I cant find anything comparing the two.
Not sure, but you might start with the folks who made the original model this one on Aerofly was patterned after. Here's the link. th-cam.com/video/hlmvHfIAszo/w-d-xo.html
Too bad. Most folks never heard of or knew of this type aircraft. It actually is a real model airplane and my reason for showing folks something unusual that actually exists the only way I could. I guess you probably don't watch any of NASA's simulations either.
@@NightFlyyer Sorry for being so harsh. Peter Sripol built and flew (more or less) a Magnus effect model back in 2017. I enjoyed watching that, but I've got 2 flight simulators, and can't bring myself to use either of them until about the middle of the winter, when I can't bear not flying any longer. Even then, it is totally unsatisfying. That is why I wish the word simulation had been used in the title.
@@daxdadog No Problem. It is minus 8 here right now and the middle of the winter for me. Also, I have reviewed almost all the simulators on the market since I worked for Real Flight as a Helicopter test pilot in their beginning. I switched to the German made Aerofly long ago, because it is satisfying and fly's closer to my planes and helicopters than any other. Since I fly the real thing, I can tell the difference, not like the armchair pilots. LOL. You might like to force yourself to watch my latest video as Aerofly RC-8 has just been added to Steam and I love flying online with all those folks from around the world. I'm 73 and it may be soon I will not be able to fly my real models, so this is it. th-cam.com/video/vfjOudGSwkE/w-d-xo.html
@@NightFlyyerI didn't realize it was a simulation until it was over, which says a lot about the quality of the simulation. I'll have to check out their software...it might make using a sim enjoyable, for a change. Thank you! (I'm not far behind you at 67, so I better start prepping, just in case)
Dave, Remember when you flew my prototype video transmission system on your yellow 300C helicopter at the dump road flyer site? I recently discovered some photos of the event.
Hi Mike. Long time no see. For sure, I remember that and have put a couple of those pics in some of my videos. That was the beginning of the whole FPV craze. I hope you are well. Tell me what your doing these days. Stay well and Happy new year.
Dave, Congratulations on induction into the AMA Hall of Fame, friend and hangar neighbor Burt Rutan shares the same distinction. The dump road flying days were fun. I eventually learned how to fly RC helicopters which lead to a commercial rotorcraft rating. Interesting thought that we may be FPV pioneers, I know of no others doing the same at the time. That clunky low rez (160 line) camera was the first of it's kind on the market. The video transmitter was from a schematic in the Radio Amateurs Handbook, it produced more noise than signal. I ended up designing a new transmitter the size of a postage stamp which paved the way for a multitude of commercially available products, a live video down-link for the Tomahawk Cruise Missile was a highlight (see TH-cam video). I retired and relocated from California more than 20 years ago to a 40 ac ranch with RC flying field, other activities include building and flying full sized experimental AC and electronics as a hobby. The greatest challenge over the years has been staying retired! Mike
@@MikeLee-mz4zd Thanks very kindly, Mike. Congratulations on your successful life. I know what you mean about being retired. I work more now than when I was working.

@@NightFlyyer Dave, Thanks for the video, an accurate technical presentation on antennas, I didn't know you had a ham license. An advantage of the 5.8 antennas is that they radiate circular polarity and don't suffer from the "cone of silence", the breakup encountered running them is primarily due to mutipath cancellation. They are similar to the quadrifilar helix I ran on my Kyosho Concept 30 in the early days. I'm enjoying going through your videos. For old time sake I recently picked up a 70's vintage single stick Kraft Sport Series transmitter from ebay, I used the same model when flying slope with the Hobie Hawk at Salt Creek where the Ritz Carlton Dana Point now stands. I made an in person visit to Kraft to get my original re-crystalled shortly before they closed their doors, you may have been working with them at the time.
@@MikeLee-mz4zd I bought my Hobie Hawk right from Hobie Alter at his company in or around 1977 and spent many years flying the Dana Strands too. I sold it to a guy in Switzerland and he still has and flies it. Loved that bird. No where to slope soar here in Iowa, so it's power for me, but I miss that relaxation. I used to fly at Torrey pines a lot to and still fly online there with friends from all over the world on my Aerofly simulator. I visited the Strands just before the fire and no way to fly there anymore. We were chased away a lot too. LOL That was a great time. After Kraft, I was hired to repair radios (Proline) for Joe Bridi, as he bought the Proline company. Then started my company selling acrylics for 25 years, no still going as Adams Polishes. I worked at Kraft from 1978 till they closed. It was a great time. Glad you are enjoying my videos. Stay well and thanks.
No idea, what new the Swiss students were coming up with, but the first (manned) plane using the magnus effect for lift is reported to have flown in the 1930s... - at least according wikipedia (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flettner_airplane)
Link say does not mention that, but again, I am just reporting what the description of this Particular airplane, which is a working RC model that they built. There were no digital proportional RC airplanes in 1930, but maybe they got the idea from something they read. Either way, it's pretty cool to fly for me.
This simulated Rotating Tube (Magnus effect) Model aircraft invented by 2 Swiss Students weighs nothing, however I can vary the mass in the sim. Maybe if you contact the College museum to find out the weight of the real one on display in Switzerland would be the best way. If you find out, let me know. Thanks.
This could be a very efficient practical plane or a disaster if it was actually built for commercial service and I can see a number of advantages and disadvantages over standard planes anyway nice rc plane
Maybe. You could contact the college and tell them that, but I think it needs the two props to steer left and right yaw, because there is no rudder so it yaws and steers by coaxial motors. Thanks.
@@NightFlyyer From various other sources, lift is due to separation of flowstream off the (lower) surface, downward off the cylinder. Were the cylinders rotating in the other direction, flow would separate upward, off the upper side of the cylinder, and "lift" would be downward. Same thing that makes a curve ball curve. The abrupt takeoff and agility of that plane is a total surprise and very impressive. But...the hard landings seem to illustrate what a poor glider the thing is. Guessing there is no ground-effect as with wings, and flaring will be useless. Don't think you can change the angle of attack of a cylinder. In fact, I'll be there is an anti-ground effect, as the turbulent flow that keeps the thing aloft will be impeded by proximity to the ground. Like to know the rpm of the cylinders. Same as the props?
@@herbmunson5121 Here is the original flying. Maybe it will help you make one. Ask them the questions, as they are the inventor of this machine. th-cam.com/video/hlmvHfIAszo/w-d-xo.html

That was a funny video at the end! Cool plane, looks a bit of a chore to fly though. Good seeing a video from ya Dave! Hope you and the Wife are both well.
@@NightFlyyer , I've already had Co-vid 19 once, and had a 101 temp. Since then I've been exposed 2 more times, and had 0 effect. quarantined 10 days ..... I'm so over this!
You must be flying somewhere near Area 51. ;) Do you think this concept has a future? I'd rather be in a fixedwing. With this model, if the power is gone, your gone too. But, parachutes were invented too.
As I say in the Title, the video notes and the Video. Also I mention you can see the REAL thing fly here. th-cam.com/video/hlmvHfIAszo/w-d-xo.html I had no access to it, so this should have given you the idea.
Sad to say that is obvious and also mentioned in the video and notes. There is only 1 real one of these and it is in the College museum where the students invented it. Either way, it shows Magnus effect, which was the point.
Well the Gaming computer I built 8 years ago, has only a 2.3 GHz CPU. That is the minimum requirement according to Aerofly. But I also have an SSD hard drive which reads and writes faster. I also have an 8 Gig Nvidia Video card which runs all my simulators smoothly. Check out the computer requirements on Aerofly.com or Steam. If your computer is stock, you may need to upgrade the RAM or the Card. Otherwise, go into the Graphics settings in the Aerofly program and turn them down.
@@jeromedupont8994 Right, that is why it must be the video card, as Aerofly will run on non super computers, but the video card is where its at. Good luck.
Yes, and as I said in the video and the video description box. But since this is actually a real model borrowed from the museum for reference, the model is close as you can get since there is only one real model in the Swiss college museum. It was a model build by students to prove the Magnus effect. This "CGI" app allows a person to see and fly it, close as can be.
Seems you didn't read the title or description and see the link to see the real one fly! I like unusual aircraft and decided to show you this Rotating Tube, Magnus Effect Model aircraft built by 2 Swiss Students. It is totally unique and quite interesting to fly.

Of course it is CGI, as I don't own one to fly for you. I mentioned that in the video notes. " I like unusual aircraft and decided to show you this Rotating Tube Model aircraft invented by 2 Swiss Students. It is totally unique and quite interesting to fly."
@@NightFlyyer i said CGI, not fake. I like unusual flying machines too. I know rotating tubes from my childhood as kite. I made a lot experiments with various types and never get good stable flight/control. the concept is ok. design look elegant but flight in my opinion all fiction, not science fiction, fiction science. Today's technology did not exist at that time, so I cannot show my experiments, but if you are going to make one, I would like to see it in flight. I do not trust my English so I wrote it short. I apologize if I offended you that was not my intention.
@@BirhanT Yes, no problem. Since there is only one of these in the world, I could not get it to fly it for real and this was the next best thing to show some real thinking outside the box by these students. It however is offered as a model to fly on Aerofly RC 8's sim. Thanks.
Rotating Tube, Magnus Effect Model aircraft built by 2 Swiss Students is real. The college where the real on is on display is far from Fake. This was the next best way to demonstrate this, and hats of to Aerofly for including this REAL airplane in their program. I have seen the real one fly and this flies the same.

As I say in the Title, the video notes and the Video. Also I mention you can see the REAL thing fly here. th-cam.com/video/hlmvHfIAszo/w-d-xo.html I had no access to it, so this should have given you the idea.
2:00 sad to say but it looks like CGI
Sad to say that is obvious and also mentioned in the video and notes. There is only 1 real one of these and it is in the College museum where the students invented it. Either way, it shows Magnus effect, which was the point.
@@NightFlyyer tá legal mano. Não precisa ficar bravinha só por que alguém tem uma habilidade de escutar inglês que está longe da perfeição.
@@NightFlyyer espera aí, 0:20 você disse que é um MODELO REAL, o que é diferente de um modelo virtual. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Duh! Of course and I didn't hide it. Here is a link to see the real one fly. th-cam.com/video/hlmvHfIAszo/w-d-xo.html
hello, I have a gaming computer but can't run aerofly like you did... always lags.. make me 🤮
Well the Gaming computer I built 8 years ago, has only a 2.3 GHz CPU. That is the minimum requirement according to Aerofly. But I also have an SSD hard drive which reads and writes faster. I also have an 8 Gig Nvidia Video card which runs all my simulators smoothly. Check out the computer requirements on Aerofly.com or Steam. If your computer is stock, you may need to upgrade the RAM or the Card. Otherwise, go into the Graphics settings in the Aerofly program and turn them down.
@@NightFlyyer thanks for your answer, my computer is normally even faster than yours. I'll check the settings. have a nice day
@@jeromedupont8994 Right, that is why it must be the video card, as Aerofly will run on non super computers, but the video card is where its at. Good luck.
CGI!
Yes, and as I said in the video and the video description box. But since this is actually a real model borrowed from the museum for reference, the model is close as you can get since there is only one real model in the Swiss college museum. It was a model build by students to prove the Magnus effect. This "CGI" app allows a person to see and fly it, close as can be.

It seems fake...👎
Seems you didn't read the title or description and see the link to see the real one fly! I like unusual aircraft and decided to show you this Rotating Tube, Magnus Effect Model aircraft built by 2 Swiss Students. It is totally unique and quite interesting to fly. Here I show it flying the only way I can on the Aerofly Sim, but here's the link to see the real one fly, www.youtube.com/watch?v=hlmvH... Also see. Aerofly RC-8 and the Flettner ROTO wing. www.ikarus.net/en/rc8-features/
CGI not real thing...
Of course it is CGI, as I don't own one to fly for you. I mentioned that in the video notes. " I like unusual aircraft and decided to show you this Rotating Tube Model aircraft invented by 2 Swiss Students. It is totally unique and quite interesting to fly."
@@NightFlyyer i said CGI, not fake. I like unusual flying machines too. I know rotating tubes from my childhood as kite. I made a lot experiments with various types and never get good stable flight/control. the concept is ok. design look elegant but flight in my opinion all fiction, not science fiction, fiction science. Today's technology did not exist at that time, so I cannot show my experiments, but if you are going to make one, I would like to see it in flight. I do not trust my English so I wrote it short. I apologize if I offended you that was not my intention.
@@BirhanT Yes, no problem. Since there is only one of these in the world, I could not get it to fly it for real and this was the next best thing to show some real thinking outside the box by these students. It however is offered as a model to fly on Aerofly RC 8's sim. Thanks.

I knew that was fake too much control
Rotating Tube, Magnus Effect Model aircraft built by 2 Swiss Students is real. The college where the real on is on display is far from Fake. This was the next best way to demonstrate this, and hats of to Aerofly for including this REAL airplane in their program. I have seen the real one fly and this flies the same.
Deep fake
If you read the Title and the description, you would also see the link to the real one fly! It is not Fake!
