The top ace of WWII, Luftwaffe Capt Erich Hartmann, described attacking an IL-2 Stormavik as follows: "I poured all the MG rounds and cannon shells my ]Me 109G] Gustav had, and still the monster flew directly along, seeming not to notice me. I flew up along side it, and the Soviet pilot just smiled and waved. I waved back, and turned for home."

I'll note that the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum has a tongue-in-cheek "First Rule of Unknown Aircraft Identification" that goes as follows:
"If it's ugly, it's British. If it's weird, it's French. If it's ugly *and* weird, it's Russian."
If it breaks down, it's Nazi German.
since when art British planes ugly ?
Oh, dear, where do I start? Let's look at the mass-produced models, military only for starters. Shall we? D.H.2, D.H.3, Scarab, Southampton, Blackburn Blackburn, Amiens, Bison (Avro), Flycatcher, Swordfish, Albacore, ROC (Blackburn), Skua, Barracuda, Heyford, Fulmar, Oxford (DH one), Vampire, Gannet, Attacker (Supermarine), Wyvern, Venom, Sea Vixen, Lightning, Nimrod (especially the AEW one)... The list goes forever. I mean some of them would not have been too ugly if they appeared like 15-20 years before they did. But introducing something like Shackleton in 1951 is just plain ugly.
Sergey Chmelev How dare you? The swordfish is mad sexy

"uh, Ivan? Is engine suppose to vibrate like that?"
*"Yes Dimitri. For yuo see, if engine vibrate, keep pilot awake and help him steer plane to battle when going 525 km/h."*
"Oh. What about crashing?"
*"Yuo is basically dead by engine or propeller when go boom of land. So don't crash when enemie is of fire at yuo."*
"But the purpose of a warplane is to..."
*"START THE ENGINE!"*
You mean Иван and Дми́трий
Right товарищ?
Throttle up Dimitri!
More vodka fixes everything
*START THE ENGINE OR GULAG*
You laugh, but engineers discovered fighter jets reached a level of sophistication where the instruments would actually stick because of interference fits in the gauge mechanism, which normal piston engines would "fix" by vibrating the instruiments and freeing the insides up. A gadget to vibrate the dashboard was necessary on early jet aircraft to unstick the instruments.
Engine vibrate is essential to make gauges work!
My grandfather was the commander of the TB-3 during WW2, pilots called it a flying coffin, cause it was made of plywood covered with thin aluminum, plus it was very slow. The good thing was it had big enough wings to fly with engines off and silently get to the bombing site in the dark. It could land on any field, even on snow 1meter deep. And yes, i saw his pilot fur coat and fur helmet, there was no heater at all)
А- Адекватность. Всё с вами ясно, ещё один мамкин эксперт, который поиграл в компьютерную аркадку и думает что всё знает про авиацию.
That must be every German ground trooper's nightmare, a giant THING sneaking up on them in the dark and only activating the engine after it drops the bombs
Ah. Slow like ze OP PO-2. (Fun fact, the PO-2 is the only bi-plane to have destroyed a jet fighter. It did this via its unrealistically slow speed. The jet tried to shoot it down, but had to slow down so much to aim that it fell out of the sky and crashed.)
@@teslashark it would be terrifying, but with engines off, it would probably be very slow and thus easy to hit with an 88mm.
Very cool, no pun intended. Having history in the family like this, and your grandfather willing to talk about it gives an unparalleled history that cannot be found in most books.
I envy you, my grandfather was building Sherman tanks in a factory, he died when I was young. Don't even have stories from family for my personal history. My other grandfather is Danish and he passed away before I was born, my mother didn't know if he served.
My wife's grandfather was in Pearl Harbor on the Arizona when it was sank. He lived into his 90's but absolutely refused to talk to family about it. The trauma of his time was very hard on him. Her other grandfather spent time in Europe but again no information available.
I never wanted the glory of war perspective, I was always interested in the experiences on general.
The first time I see a top list AND actually learn something.
The Concordski definitely plagiarized parts of the Concorde. When it was too late the engineers realised that having the engine pods closer together would be better. Both the Tu144and the B70 learned from it. :)
Of course the Tu144 had many other deficiencies e.g. the cabin noise was terrible I understand.
The is much more sophisticated than the Tu-144's which meant it could take off and land without needing to used canards like the Tu-144 has.

The giant Gorky thing with rooms in wings reminds me of those bulky crashed planes in Fallout 4 which had ton of passenger seats in wings, maybe it was inspired by this soviet monster.
Milan Štěpánek I think they were related to Lockheed and Boeings Blended Wing Body and such.
Yeah. Rooms in wings turned out to be an awful idea. When the wings go up and down the people in them do too.
Just Some Guy Ok!
Passengers do so in fuselage too.
@@kyle857 its not bad idea and certainly it worked. not to mention that we might end up with that again. both boeing and airbus did show their blended wing ideas.
Fallout 4 memories... *sigh* good times. I remember those planes too. Absolutely humongous
Well, there is one thing I have to say about Tu-144. Although Tu-144 looks like Concord, they actually have different engine location(as you mentioned), different wing shape, and the canards in the front(also as you mentioned). The work required to change these features during copying is no less than redesigning a plane. It is true that some features on Concord were used on Tu-144, but saying that Tu-144 was just a copy of Concord is just unfair for the designers.
There was actually a counter claim by the Soviets, that Concord, was copied from the Mig-25 interceptor, on which the Tu-144 was heavily based
Form follows function! You want a plane flying supersonic? It has to be shaped like an arrow with darted wings just for physics.
The canards came later as the crashes increased.
@@wernerharms4833 Yup. People ask all the time why all new cars look the same. It's because we've learned that aside from minor styling cues, there is a certain shape that is correct as far as the air it moves through is concerned. And pretty much all cars are a slight variant of that shape. The F-86 and the MiG-15 are remarkably similar, but that's because they were the absolute cleanest, most effective design to be had with what they had to work with then, and their conclusions mirrored in some ways, including general form.
@@ltr4300
Except we don't even remotely use the most efficient shape.
Imagine building a super fancy plane with rooms & shit inside the wings, debuting it in a Moscow parade only for Ivan to tip the fucking thing over because he wanted to show off his maneuvers
14:20 I was at that museum in Sinsheim. You can actually enter both planes and look at their cabins. They also removed half of the seats to allow people to walk more easily. If you get the chance to visit the museum and love aviation, it is really recommendable!
Also, a really good video with well done research. A lot of information that is presented nicely, and a good top 5!
+The Budgie Admiral i hope to vist that museum one day
Also i'm glad you liked the video :D
But dont visit the museum on a weekend.
Even with only the half of the seats, there is not enough room that 2 Visitors can pass, only 2 or 3 small areas where all seats are removed, and only on entrance wich is also the exit
That museum is a blast to visit. We were there all the time when we lived in germany.
"There were no casualties" Oh there were casualties. Just not from the crash.

Imagine you're plowing a field in Ukraine, there's no-one else around for about 100 to 120km but there's still a giant plane flying over you projecting Stalin's face in the clouds.
there are no places in Ukraine where there is nothing around for 100-120km. Ukraine is dense enough populated due to more appropriate climate.
what you're talking about is siberia and russian north

I think it's important to mention that while, yes, the 747-800 was build in the early 2000's, the 747 first flew in '64 and DIDNT take advantage of ground effect apart from takeoff and landing
The 747 is a revolutionary plane and i was born in soviet union. Soviet Union had a lot of smart people, but they all left the country or been killed. Even before ww2 (Talinking about 1941not 1939), stalin killed a lot of officers that maybe was not very good but at least had some experience. The results were catastrophic .Millions killed and captured . Every famous person that Russians are proud of now were executed or died in Jail, Famous engineers , writers and inventors. Russians say that Sikorsky is russian. No ! he is not he is american you kicked him out of the country he became us citizen so he is american.
Too bad the ANT-20s crashed. Would have liked to see it give a propaganda barrage.

ant? i thought it was an...
antonov planes are with an in the name
Yahuchi Uchiha!
Antonov is An-...
ANT stands for Андре́й Никола́евич Ту́полев (Andrej Nikolaevic Tupolev) CEO of ZAGI (Central AeroHydrodynamic Institute), leading engineer, lateron general. Until 1942 new planes carried the initials of the leader of the the design bureau (in fact it was merely just one) plus number during developement and tests, once stepped into serial it was the planes role plus number.
E.g. И-4 (АНТ-5) is Истребитель(Interceptor)-4, ТБ-3 (АНТ-6) is тяжёлый бомбардировщик(Heavy Bomber)-3.
This nomenclatura changed, when more different and better types were needed. ZAGI handed out the requirements of a new plane and different design bureaus developed prototypes in competition. It was now the first two letters of the main constructors surname plus number. Tu(polev)-2, Pe(tyakov)-8, Su(khoj)-2, La(vockin)-5. Exceptions: Mi(koyan)G(uryevic)-3, La(vockin)G(orbunov)G(udkov)-3.

IL-2 gunner:"wait..... Isn't the fuel tank on tanks are used as armor?"
Commissar: "In the Air Force, the Gunner is the armor for the fuel tank!"
The Zveno (Звено) project was aimed to:
1) Increase the payload of bombers (in most cases the TB3)
2) Provide fighters for defense on long missions.
Fun fact: The engines on the parasite aircraft were running while they were attached to the bomber (usually TB3), thus INCREASING the payload!
My favorite part about the TB3 is the open cockpit, with the crew sitting on top (except for some of the gunners). There were also retractible gunner 'pods' under the wings.
This was a very informative video. Thank you for the research and videography. Well done.
Soviet: puts thicc armour and glasses thats nearly impossible to shot trough
in their planes
Japan: laughs in kamikaze zero
The Russians did make some fascinating planes, however they did have problems with making high power engines.
This is because of the poor and changing fuel quality soviet refineries were able to deliver. The higher they pitch the performance of the engines with this fuel the less endurance they have.
@ADAM FARRA probably a mix of bad designs, cost cutting and unrefined fuel. Could be wrong but I think they also cut it with alcohol during shortages, something that messes up fuel lines and other rubber / plastic components
That is false, look at the MiG25/31
Look at the Tu-95
look at the Tu-160
While that depends on which type of engine you have in mind, that statement (of Russians being unable to make high power engines) is generally wrong. After all, the most powerful turboprop engines to ever fly are of Soviet design (Kuznetsov NK-12, if I remember correctly - look up Tu-95 and Tu-114, the fastest propeller driven planes in level flight), and some very powerful jet engines too (MiG-25, heavy interceptor made of steel(!) capable of Mach 2,8 in normal flight mode - if you're not afraid of overburning the engine it can go up to Mach 3,2. Also, engines powering heavy bomber Tu-160, which are the most powerful military engines (and there's four of them in that aircraft!)) The only real problem with Russian and Soviet high power engines is their short service life compared to American and British ones.
One small thing, because I’m a Certificated Ground Instructor; aircraft with low wings experience ground effect on take off and landing. It’s a cushion of air created by the wing while producing lift during take off. Ikrano Planes use the air cushion created by the lifting generating wing to fly at wave height, often just meters or centimeters above the ground.
I can try to get you some good ground effect footage because I own an old Piper Cherokee and live at 3,000ft.

Or rather not enough vodka

Fascinating stuff and very nicely explained. Subscribed.
Cheers from an instrumentmaker in Vienna, Scott
i heard some Tu-4 rudder pedals even said Boeing on them.
I don't know about the pedals but reports on the Tu-4 said that it even suffered from the same engine overheating that plagued the B-29. Talk about a true clone....
Gus Davis I don’t know if this is true, but I heard that the B-29 they tore down had a bullet hole in the instrument panel and every Tu-4 had a hole in the exact same spot.
Actually, the engine was one of the very few parts of B-29 that was not copied directly, but rather developed (with some parts of R-3350) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shvetsov_ASh-73
What if the american plane was the copy because the russians did it first
@@dankmemes2354 don't think that's true. Russia copied a lot from America including train locomotives, American car designs and the space shuttle. They made some damn good helicopters and rockets before the S.U. fell though

SOVIET RUSSIA
the reason for the canards on the TU-144 was that the Soviet spies couldn't steal the Concorde wing design and didn't have the canards originally, they were added later to solve low-speed handling problems

You do know that he said fighter plane right?
@@deleteduser87 you mean like the Komet which was a full year before the BI-1?
THe Kalinin K-7 was another wierdo - like an even wackier veresion of the last two in the vid. Great engineering. Those Soviets were bold. Part of the equation being that the crew were expendable.
Something not seemingly to be covered: the TU-44 looks like the Concord. This is no accident. It isn't a copy, but it likely has a shared ancestor. The XB-70 Valkerie was an experimental high-speed, high altitude bomber. It had singlets at the front" swept wings, a drop-nose, and a very narrow profile. It also had its maiden flight in 1964. The TU-88, had it's maiden flight in 1968, nearly four years later. The XB-70, meant to become thr B-70 bomber, had two prototypes. One crashed, then the entire project was cancelled. Work done on the Valkerie, later went on to produce the Concord. While the TU-44 resembles the Concord, it looks even more like the XB-70.
Great video! Speaking of lifting bodies - Would love to see a comrehensive look at the Burnelli design
Il 20 in war thunder as a premium ?
The tu144 shown here while speaking of the Paris airshow where one disintegrated in mid air, is a much later model highly modified but still requiring a longer and much more extensive preflight inspection, supervised by the builder. It was only kept flying at great risk and expense.
Back when I was building the MD-11 we always used to catch guys sleeping in the wings because they were big enough to crawl around in. Not big enough to watch a movie in! But definitely big enough to find a hiding spot. LoL 😀
hi I'm Brazilian you videos is very good and funny best canal of war thunder and memes and you videos about history curiosity is very good
i'm glad you like my videos :D
The Iron Armenian aka G.I. Haigs :3
Soviet reverse-engineering was a science in and of itself.
I believe the An20Bis also had an engineer for each engine and he was able to work inside the engine bay while it was in flight, amazing and very brave people.
im a aviation enthusiast and truth be told I am loving your videos👍🏻👍🏻
Sorry but the Russian weren't the first to build a rocket powered plane.... The Germans started using their Me-163 "Komet", over 9 months before the Russian started the Bi-1. And the He 178 was the really first "rocket plane" which flew.... But this was only an experimental plane, like the Bi-1 ^^
No doubt the Russians were innovative back then and have some very advanced designs today. Nice vid.
The Russians were always at the cusp of aircraft design, right from the beginning. As he started to go into, if not hamstrung with political unrest and the whims of a dictator, coupled with shortages of raw materials and poor manufacturing ability, they could have OWNED aviation at the time....but also being too insular kept them from understanding the potential in aviation too...didn't hurt in the long run though...for combat and transport aircraft that are effective and robust and economical to maintain, much of the world likes their offerings...
@@ltr4300 As designers, the Soviets were often very good. What let them down was always the manufacturing capability. In 1917, the Russian Empire was still pretty much an agrarian society, in which most people lived lives pretty much identical to those lived by Russian peasants centuries earlier. The Bolsheviks tried to industrialise the entire nation as fast as possible, with only middling success, and they always had terrible problems with quality control and materials, but they sure could make a lot of it. There's a quote by a Finn (Mannerheim, I think?) from 1940, just after the Winter War, where he remarks that if you had told him before the invasion that the entire Soviet Union possessed 10,000 motor vehicles, he would have laughed at you, but that was the number they had counted as destroyed or captured during just that one war.
Of course, a lot of them were garbage, but "quantity has a quality all of its' own"
@@talltroll7092 That quote is a myth
The soviets were often way ahead of their time. the F-35 lightning's VTOL system is a direct copy of the YAK-141, which was made 40 years prior to the introduction of the F-35. Here's a video of the YAK-141 flying; th-cam.com/video/6R18uBA-QfY/w-d-xo.html
@@RainytheNB Yeah, the russians made everything first. It explains why most russian designs have their origins in stolen / leased material from the west. The russians learned how to build tanks from US and Germany. Their main fighter engines of WW2 are derived from a US model. They are just not good at engineering. They are mediocre. Thats why nobody but very poor countries buy their stuff (with a lot of lobbying help). China overtook russia in 30 years, now building ALL the stuff in the world. The old soviet culture of lies and not admitting failure always lost when reality knocked at its door. And today? T14 = failure, army doesnt order any significant numbers. PAK-FA = failure... russian airforce is not interested. You know where the best russian engineers are? In the west, where they can actually do good work and get paid for it.
3:20. Note the elevator pushes downward on the tail to maintain balance, and the faster you go the less you have to push downward on the tail to keep the aircraft level, because the center of lift for the airfoil will move forward towards the CG which is generally just forward of the wing root, but where you must trim the elevator (really the entire aircraft) to a more nose down attitude to reduce the angle of attack on he main wing to keep from *climbing* because of the increased lift with increased speed at constant angle of attack. Of course, that’s a bit wordy.
I think the American water-cooled B17 is a super slick and sexy bomber. Only ever tested and (i think) only 1 produced, but the photos are really nice to look at!
Incoming "you see, Ivan" memes
There's a Waldo hiding in this video; a prize to the first to find him.

The canard, little wings, were added to subsequent TU,144, as without them they could be destroyed by photographers. The French were to inspect the runway for debris, a French word, prior to use by Concorde.
I love these kinds of videos. They always get you thinking like a true mad scientist designer.
Very cool video, well made and informative. The Caspian Sea Monster is just insane!
concordski looks like a passenger ripoff of the xb70 built from 64-69 as a High altitude supersonic bomber.
this.
Tu-144 is successor of T-4 Sotka bomber, which were heavily inspired by XB70.
"..ski" is typical end of name for Polish not Russians. If you see Russian that is using name that is ending with "..ski" then you can bet that one of his ancestors ended up in Syberia or something for participating in a uprising against Russia, for example: Ciołkowski->grandfather of space travel, Sikorski->"mr helicopter". Its kinda funy that Sikorky company have bought helicopter factory in Poland and building them here now. ;)
Soviets:*make a thing*
Also Soviets:*call it a bi(t)ch*
According to one source I read - and I don't remember what it was - the Soviets copied the B-29 so exactly that they even imitated elements that were completely unimportant. Apparently, they found a symmetric hole in one bulkhead and could not think of any reason to imitate it in their copy since they could not conceive of any possible function for it. But they copied it anyway because if the plane didn't fly properly and Stalin or his minions found out about it, they would get a one way ticket to the gulag (or a bullet to the brain) for not copying it EXACTLY.
Of course they are of flying, comrade! They blessed have been by Stalin! Genius of geniuses!
Tu-4?
You mean GULAG EXPRESS?
actually there wont be much noise and vibration in the KM because the 8 engines would be shut down when the plane enter ground effect and then it will be only powered by the 2 engine on the rear
and they actually did found a way to fix it,which is too make it bigger,the bigger the plane the higher it fly the more it can overcome rough sea and also easier to piliot

Soviet Union dont have a weird planes.
For the record, the Il-20s adjustable gun barrels went on to become the standard of ground attack gun pods, such as those used on the Su-25 and variantes, on all Soviet and Russian made attack aircraft. The barrels on these pods can be slaved to electro-optical targeting systems as well, such as the Shkval on the Su-25T, and guided by laser. As long as you keep your plane centered on a target (no yaw or roll) the barrel pitch will track whatever you've locked on to with your laser, and you can blap it without worrying about slamming into the ground from accidental target fixation.
the antinov 12 is a direct copy of the C-130 C model and 90% of the parts are interchangable with all C-130 models A-H
I wanna See a guy named "Joseph stalin" with a Stalin profile pic saying: "I See nothing wierd about them."
Oppress your civilians so you can spend millions on a supersonic civilian passenger jet that your civilians can't afford to fly on. I'm surprised the Ruskies made it to 1991.
Actually, tickets for the Concorde costed 83 rubel, which was half a month's salary for regular people. It was not nearly as expensive as the Concorde, which was built in France for the rich and celebrities.
@@YouCanCallMeVCH the reason why it was so much cheaper was for propaganda reasons as the tu-144 costed more to fly with less fuel-efficient engines. The Russian government lost tons of money each flight to give off the illusion of better technology as they did with everything.
@@f8f8esufj2a1 I wish my country would make travel much cheaper for "propaganda reasons". When there is a real progress for "propaganda reasons" there is still a real progress.
The USSR fell into a shithole of capitalism
Russia’s first president was a drunken oligarch who owned all the resources that the USSR had, pyramid schemes and scams appeared everywhere
And they expect everyone what to do with money?
@@f8f8esufj2a1 From what I understand it was very uncomfortable and very, very loud in the passenger cabin.
Rocket powered fighter was a first for Germany, not Russia
Mt father worked on Concorde in Britain, and my uncle Jacques worked on it at Aerospatiale in France. I think the Tu-114 canards (littke wings at the front) were added after the Paris Air Show crash. They were suggested by the Concorde design team. The aircraft had their differences - the control surfaces on the Tu144 had hydraulics in the wing, while Concorde had cable drives from motors in the aircraft body. None the less, the Tu114 wings had the holes for the Concorde's cables. I am not sure I believe the cloak-and-dagger stuff about the airshow itself - pilots at shows like flying at near-stall speeds, as this makes the aircraft hang in the air and look bigger: the Airbus crash was because the pilot had overridden all the anti-stall safety features. I suspect this may be the same.
More history vids.
Seems like soviet planes only crash from human error instead of engineering lol
this video is an example of survivor bias: Russians cover up their fatal crashes (and Chinese probably too, BTW);
in the old days, Russian TV was broadcasting their rocket flights only after the rockets launched successfully
Well, the Americans bragged about its rockets. Then the Challenger blew up on live television and everyone died. I'm sure the American military/government wishes they could have covered that up. But they had to brag about how "great" it was.
Ironically NASA and SpaceX both buy there rocket engines from Russia because they are safer and more efficient.
@@levvy3006 on the topic of american fails, just look at all their first attempts to get a satellite in orbit
The TB-3 and the ANT-20 were probably developed from Airplanes that Junkers build at Fili (near Moscow) in the 1920s. Notice the Junkers-like skin structure of both planes (similar to the Ju 52) and the obvious copy of the "Thick Wing" Design which was developed and patented by Hugo Junkers. The ANT-20 was very similar to the Junkers G 38. (The Story of the G 38 is quite interesting btw. It's design was licensed to Mitsubishi and subsequently converted into the bomber Ki-20.)
engineer: so guys we need landing gear for our new plane what should we do
engineer 2: i know exactly what we need *pulls out two bicycles and a ski* TA-DA
"The B-29 is best know for being the first plane to drop an atomic bomb in combat" XD
Have there been more? Do you want there to be more in the future?? :O Sorry, had to poke some fun towards that statement
Considering how many nuclear weapons WERE later air-dropped during R&D; his statement is not far off at all.
@@goofyleo3869 he clearly said "IN COMBAT". the others were dropped during testing.
You make sound the USSR to be so SPOOKY
or maybe just maybe the concord is copy of the concordski .
Bernardo Grando Because it actually was.
WAY WORSE THAN NAZI GERMANY
NiumeLT Uh no it wasn't and America wasn't much better
Vasily Zaitsev Ever heard of soviet propaganda?
i am partial to AN-225 (when it comes to huge planes)
but yeah the KM most i think. Its fancy concept, much like hovercraft.
Ahhh - TB-3 Zveno- The parasite dive bombers were never designed to reattach. The aim was to use all 6 engines (4 on the TB-3, one each on the I-16 diver bombers) to launch. The I-16s would get fuel from the mother ship as they flew toward the target, detach, dive bomb the target and all return to base with the fighters now acting as an escort for the mother ship. The final version was called SPB (Sostavnoi Pikiruyuschiy Bombardirovschik - Combined Dive Bomber) ans worked quite well until the BF-109s gained air superiority over the Crimea and Black Sea areas.
Soviet weird plane's are made of high stalinuim

Your information in the video is false - within the first minute you manage to call the BI-1 the first rocket powered plane that flew.
It actually flew 9 months AFTER the german rocket fighter the Me 163. Also the Heinkel He 176 was way earlier than this: first flight in 1939.
The first powered flying wings were invented before World War 1 and the Burgess-Dunne AH-7 is considered to be the first one, produced in 1914.
the first ant: hey look what i can do, bum. the second ant: what does this button do? bum
That background music though..... the ANT020 and the ANT-bis…. great design where 100% of an airplanes design category crashed.
Made from starlinium
Stalinium :D
Is ekranoplan really a plane? It uses ground effect istead of conventional lift. It can't drop bombs, it can't engage other aircraft, it is low flying ship hunter that was made to have a fighting chance against the dominant naval force aka filthy capitalists. Imagine a small fleet of ekranoplans charging the ship convoy and firing salvos of rockets. Then as quickly as they came in they leave. Admitedly the simple plane can do the job but I guess ekranoplan gives you presence on the sea and the ability to carry a better payload. Oh, right! They need to work out the problem with the inability to fly on wavy sea.
I'm with You. I'd rather see it being similar to a ship or hovercraft.
Hell I used to design stuff just as weird when I was like 10. People thought I was a bit off but I loved tinkering with Legos and drawing.
I follow (too ; ) many channels and yours is a rarity which is truly worthed to be watched, thanks for the cool content&presentation.🙏🏻🖖🏻
