- Building a home-made aircraft without knowledge is perhaps the worst idea you could ever think of! Today's video is on five homemade aircraft's that failed.
Our channel is about Aviation..
We make aviation videos, aviation fails and win, aviation compilations, plane crash compilations, crosswind landing videos, and flight simulator videos, airplane bird strikes and epic moments in aviation caught on camera.
#homemadeaircraft #homebuiltaircraft #aviation
We post 3 to 5 videos a week.
Please subscribe to our channel stay tuned.
Lucky for them, they can not get off the ground.
Lol
I see what you did there😉
True
Wayyy underpowered
There was a guy in Poland around 35 years ago who did build his own plane and fly it successfully. The guy was a farmer with no engineering or flying background. He has visited the local flying club, spoke to mechanics, had a short flight as a passenger in the plane and then disappeared. 2 years later he was flying his own plane!
Whats your point
@@jayvonpryor1956 I would imagine he is referring to the title of the video "homebuilt aircraft without engineering knowledge" making a case that engineering is not required to build a successful airplane. However... as the examples in this video make clear, you might not need an engineering degree to build an airplane, but you should probably not be a complete idiot hahahaha!!! Those guys are dumber than a brick! Scrap metal cobbled together with WEE WOO lights on it and a spinny wooden stick on an engine that goes BRRRR does not make a successful aircraft LMAO!
The point is the difference between a few thousand years of evolution
@@coengroenewald6460 so black pplare way more evolved?
@Mr. Anonymous I suspect that is partially true... however... the amount of videos I've seen where they all seem to have cell phones and laptops and books... leads me to believe while it may be difficult to acquire knowledge, it is not impossible and therefore I must conclude they are not interested in learning before they try building.
It’s hilarious, and sad at the same time.
Yup I agree I'm replying whilst laughing and crying at same time
I DO wish them luck and success on their ventures, but hope that they don't die while attempting them.
An 800kg aircraft that's moving at ten miles an hour 🤔 "give it a push mate"
Over 1,700 lbs! Thats as much as a Cessna with a 160 h.p. Lycoming engine in it! That Subaru engine isn't gonna cut it, mate. 🤣
At 2:30 - a helicopter with a ceiling fan for a rotor. Yup, that'll work. Westerners just waste money on helicopters with real rotor blades.
That's kind of an insult to ceiling fans. Whatever that was looks like sticks put on the wobbliest hub imaginable.
The helicopters in shopping malls eating quarters are more airworthy.
@@SkinPeeleR: Yeah, but HIS has room for him and 3 of his friends in it! 😁👍
🙄
Send these hardworking fellas some ultralight kits.
There you go !! Shut up and lend a hand , however you can !
Remember everything flies if you stick a big enough engine on it
Lol.. Yes... Everything flies if you stick a big enough engine on it... But, you can only fly them once 😂😂🤣🤣
Smart
Taking off hard,landing easy.
@@Dwaynesaviation And crash land them once.
Yeah, except THESE! 🤣
I can’t go back to the drawing board, coz I used it as a wing. 😀
The reporter is very confident everything is ok.
Disgusting to see how these guy’s are ridiculed, by 1st world citizens with easy access to education, supply and support. However - contrary to many of us - They do actually have the courage to dream, the determination to continue and no need to do 30 narcissistic TH-cam videos with endless bla bla. The dream and actually pursue it is thousand fold more worth than sitting in front of a screen and making pathetic comments. It’s easy for anyone in the 1st world to order a set of plans for building a small aircraft. It’s even easier to order a kit and put it together. Yet when it comes to completing an aircraft probably less than 20% of projects started will actually see a first flight! For aircraft designed by the builder himself this may be less than 1% Then compare the determination shown by the guy’s in the video. My hat off to these guy’s, and yes I have been in Africa and successfully built 3 aircraft.
Wow. Without engineering?
Most of those designs look like they were made by folks who've never even seen a diagram of any kind of aircraft. They're extraordinarily fortunate they couldn't get them into the air, as a flight would almost certainly have been fatal.
Homemade aircraft are not a bad Idea, there are GOOD kits and plans unlike the stuff these guys came up with.
Amazing spirt; to break the bonds of Tierra Firma must be inherent to the human soul! Good luck, and God’s Speed to all of you!
@Stesilaus Investment isn't the problem, it's the lack of education. I met indigenous professional airline mechanics in several African countries. They attended school and studied hard in order to become qualified mechanics. They don't build airplanes but they do maintain them. Africans can learn how to design and build airplanes, but tinkering in a back yard without ever going to school is not the way to do it. In the early decades of aviation Westerners had to experiment, there was nothing else to go by. But they studied all the available information first, and they paid for their own experiments. Governments didn't give out grants unless the entrepreneurs had proven themselves.
@@cargopilot747 I must admit that in all the historical flying programs I've seen there is nothing quite so ridiculous as these aircraft. Honestly, even western schoolchildren would never seriously think these things would fly. I know education can improve people, but is there a real aircraft company in Africa that designs and builds viable aircraft that actually fly??
@@bigglestheflyboy Well the Republic of South Africa has come up with a few successful light airplane designs, by educated experienced individuals. But the rest of Africa has never been successful in that regard. And there isn't likely to be any such success for decades, partly because of systemic corruption. Indonesia is far less corrupt, yet their noble attempt to get the IPTN 250 into production was unsuccessful largely for that reason (corruption -- bureaucrats and company execs stealing money meant to go into development, tooling, etc.). Some Africans would undoubtedly be able to successfully assemble a kit if they could import one. But even attempting to construct one from plans (no kit) using supplies available locally, would undoubtedly fail. If they can't obtain aircraft-quality aluminum at the right gauge, they'd probably substitute iron sheet or something else way too heavy. "Positive thinking" isn't all it takes.
@Haywood Jeblomi Yes, but we're not allowed to mention it. 😊
Air speed even.
Imagine when PeterSripol will be their teacher to build a home made aircraft.
Dumb kid will only build them an electric one. 😁
@@glenturney4750 lmao😆
That's cool they are doing it all at once, roads ... schools. ... space and shit.
Get some bamboo , fabric . Keep ,tires,engine and cables . Build 1910 frame style.
Try lightweight fabric skins over a light strong wooden frame first chaps
Looking at the early planes that flew would give these guys a more realistic baseline. Each of them would see those machines used materials readily available to them and if appropriate wood was the issue, aluminium tube would do
Ladies & gentleman presenting the man himself all the way from Africa.......
Building a plane is easy - you just need to balance the forces. Just make lift greater than gravity.
And Center Of Gravity, along with flight controls. A sheet of plywood will fly out of the back of a truck going down the freeway, I've seen them, but they don't fly for very far, 'cause they're out of control and dangerous to other vehicles.
If it's so easy, you do it
Though I understand what you mean. The principles of flight and aircraft design are well understood, and it's not some mysterious thing. We know what works. Actually doing it though would be pretty difficult.
Try ultralights you may get off the ground then.although touch down will be a little ruff and when i say ruff i mean crash,roll,flip and stop.so put your seatbelt on it's a must!! Lol. Good Luck for real!!!
without a teacher, gotta start somewhere
Could you imagine if the Helicopter guy took off, and it was genuinely awesome.
The richest people in their Providence get their food and clothes donated to them by charities. Like Sam Kinison said. You live where there's no food. Move to where the food is.
The reality is that poverty and aviation do not bode well together. It takes a tremendous amount of money to make airplanes fly safely. That should be their focus as a first priority. They’re putting the cart before the horse.
Maybe they should expend effort reading a book before they expend it reinventing the wheel.
Maybe try a hot air balloon program first.
Hang gliders. There is a book called, 'Hang gliding' by Dan Poynter and in it, it showed a bunch of beach bums building hang gliders out of bamboo and visquine plastic! They FLEW! They jumped off of the sand dunes at the coast of California back in the 1970's. Pretty cool. 😁👍
Perhaps the Nigerian Prince should invest in local aviation as opposed to finding Americans to send his Money to?
For everyone involved including spectators thank goodness none of these are capable of getting off the ground.
Wow! So scary!
The sum total of their abilities... in everything 😂😂😂
It's 2020, you're not allowed to speak the truth anymore.
5000 years of African documented civilisation, and look what America, Britain, Australia ect has done in the last 200 years.
@@markmark5269 When was anything in Africa documented until a few hundred years ago, when you-know-who arrived?
@@stewartw.9151 I don't know who "Who" is?
Plenty of known history of Africa through exploration, sciance and archeology digs.
Something's fishy here. Is the narrator making fun of these efforts. Were they chosen especially to make fun of? They look like those ridiculous first attempts in aviation history. Today, with just the image of a real airplane in one's mind the layman can sense:
1 when wings are disprportionately small
2. when a helicopter rotor blades belong on a toy (forget about airfoils, torque forces, swash plates and such)
3. When the whole structure is too heavy, frail, unbalanced
4 when the engine is underpowered.
I know all that stuff casually with no tech background and eith no intention ever to build a plane
What I'm saying is, why would anybody make a video about this AND treat it seriously, knowing that African countries have local qualified professional pilots, engineers, private pilots, small plane builders - planes that fly?
If you're just presenting a village curiosity, that's fine. But the tone of the narrator is farcically serious. Is this for real or are we being punked?
Videos like this explain so much about society. Especially American society.
Founder of the African Space Research program.... making a jet airplane... to launch a satellite... 🤷♂️🤣
Its hard not to laugh at 2 but good hard work and 1 its kinda cool
The wright bothers didn't have knowledge of what they were doing but they did exactly what these guys are doing. There nothing humorous or to be pitied about what they are doing but admirable. There is nothing wrong with failure because it teaches success.
Nope.
The Wrights actually built a little wind tunnel. Tested prop design. Wing Design. Had a purpose built engine designed.
They actually accumulated valid data and applied that to their flying machine design.
They used their heads, and reasoned things out at a time when nobody even knew what an airplane was supposed to look like.
The guys in these videos are simply putting together things that look like airplanes. Then seeing if they will fly.
They are not trying to understand any theory or concepts of flight.
In short, they are not using their brains.
@@2lotusman851 You can’t prove that these guys aren’t using their heads. It’s trial and error just like so many other scientific experiments.
They are all lucky they did not leave the ground.
The sad thing is, even when they can achieve flight they still have to get a pilots license as the plane they made seems to be heavy. If you look at one of those planes the engineers told the reporter that the plane weight 800 kg. Well they should made an ultralight that should weight about 158 kg because if you use an ultralight you don't need a license to fly one. Though, you still need some basic training to fly one
These guys need education, not ridicule! They have the desire but not the opportunities some of us have - I admire their drive and enthusiasm and I hope they get the opportunities they deserve. Governments, send them to somewhere that knows how to build airplanes so they can learn, then return to their homelands KNOWING how to build and fly aircraft.
I've been wondering why there are so many of these garbage "airplanes" being built there and i think it's all part of a scam to get donations of some sort
What would you dream of doing to escape the shitty life you have? Drugs?
@@old8235 Work maybe?
@@johnboy2349 wait what so you like to work?
FFS, here we see the Dunning-Kruger Syndrome exemplified, up close and personal in glorious technicolor!
Gotta admire the perseverance of the guy who blames the "aerodynamics" after the aircraft broke up and collapsed before it even got moving! Other than the obvious but totally ignored fact that the thing is structurally a catastrophe, I think his diagnosis is correct however - how fortunate that it never got off the ground.
There really are no words.....
Imagination flying high ....All Good .
Awwww, bless their hearts. BLM needs to look at this video and maybe it will bring them back to reality.
What does blm have to do with this?
@EJ Aru Yes, but this video shows if they were Ever to think of the idea (without us) they could Never in a million years develop a flying machine. They didn't even have the Wheel till Colonist came along. Look what happened to them when they killed all the white Men in Haiti many decades ago...and Liberia is a Nightmare !
This are not worst aircraft landings. This are prototypes build by inspiring boys of Africa trying to bring aviation innovation to Africa. We should support them rather than ridiculing.
1800 pounds plane ain't gonna fly with just one engine, homie....You need 3 pointed to the front...3 pointed to the back....Then, eat a ton of beans the night before...Now, you good 👍 👌 👏 😉...And now , Boldly go where no man has gone before....
still cant figure out why africa hasnt evolved yet.
Lack of money? 🤔
@Alloywheelwelding.co. uk: I have. 😁👍
@Alloywheelwelding.co. uk but our people have,so stuff that in your crack pipe.
I’ve got a lawnmower, an old boat, and a saw….. can I get the plans for the upendo?
These people are going to get hurt.
welding by closing your eyes ???? wow. gotta say though... a couple of these crafts, with the right balancing / COG- they 'could' fly.
There is no doubt in my mind that these guys will succeed. Probably in anythng they do!
power to weight ration on those tank post apocalyptic contraptions lol!!
Apt name Upendo they are great comic effect tho.
Respect commitment
The second plane looks good
Those guy know just enough about flight to get themselves killed...
The problem is not funding. It is a lack of understanding.
What's next? A space station made of concrete?
The 800kg plane has to beef up the landing gear, like add truck tires.
Aircraft shaped go-karts....
They need a go fund me accnt. and a real flyable kit plane and some assistance in building it.
I`m not sure I read this correctly. Are you suggesting that these `aeroplanes` should be made available to the general public as kits ! with assistance !!
@@NaziHampster
HAHAHAHA,
No they need money and help building a real plane that will fly.🤣
@@rafaeltorres2886 Thank fk for that.
@@NaziHampster I disagree, these aircrafts should be made as kits. I think they should make the helicopter first :D
Elon! We need you to work harder on your satellite internet project! Those people have to see TH-cam...
If you think this guy is all there think again, he had investors!
They think that building a plane is so easy by just copying the looks.
First guy actually called Up-end-oh!
But African HAVE invented the FLYING TOILET!
That was hilarious when his plane took off without him in it! Did you notice that it didn't have a tail rudder? 🤣🤣🤣
"Almost" flying is very safe.
Basics folks Wings Ailerons
Rudder ...
At least those.
I HAD A DREAM THAT ALL MEN COULD REACH FOR THE SKY AND REALIZED THE DREAM OF FLIGHT IS NOT LIMITED TO THE NATIONS OF ANGLO SAXON PROTESTANTS BUT AFRICANS TOO. WELL I BUILT MY FIRST PLANE AT 8 YRS OUT OF FLAT PIECES OF PLYWOOD IT HAD A WINGSPAN OF 30" AND IT DID NOT FLY. I LEARNED FROM OTHERS WHO KNEW HOW TO BUILD MODEL PLANES AND THEN I WAS SUCCESSFUL.
" Man's dreams should exceed his grasp, otherwise what's heaven for?"
I'm an Anglo Saxon Catholic that built my first powered model airplane out of balsa wood-- and it flew.
And thank god for radio control.
Just make a small air craft that actually fries with no person inside on a remote control with all your knowledge and enough research
Then later transfer it into a bigger one to save life and money
A small aircraft that actually does what? 😁
@@Dwaynesaviation FRIES!
Get it straight!
❤ your engines need more power
Renodify your wings and landing gears
You need plain runway this type of runway sucks even u r good
And finaly search ww 1 planws design
Vice and other platforms praised them when they had no engines. They will continue to praise them blindly.
Why not sponsor them to go to an actual school?
You mean doing it the civilized and common sense way?! Thees are Africans we're talking about, have some common sense.
You dont need school, the internet has all the education you need. A computer would be good for them.
@@chippyjohn1: You DO need to go up in an actual plane, 'cause a computer screen won't teach you what the controls feel like when in the air. ANYBODY can fly a flight simulator, but it's nowhere near the real thing. When you crash in a simulator, you just start over. When you crash in real life, you may die. Flying in real life gets your heart pumping more than in front of a computer screen. It makes you have to think fast, or die. These gentlemen have never been up. They would panic, then die without proper training in an airplane designed to actually fly.
Red Bull flugtag.
They have to start somewhere. Mighty Oak trees from small acorns grow.
"If it can fly, then it can die."
The Ugandan plane was built in 2013, the video is from 2014. He said they would have built and launched an satellite in 4-5 years. 8 years later, still no satellite. Or did he say 45 years??
I admire the dream they have. I used to build go carts out of old mower parts and they looked kinda like these attempts. not very safe at all. love the spirit and drive to succeed. good luck but be safe.
It seems to me that your using materials that are too heavy,you need atleast fiber glass,also engines that are light but powerful.
If you have a dream chase it,but shed a lot of weight and good luck.
1:13 that one looks like it could fly
I'm pretty sure it dan fly, just lack of power
The first one should have been named STUPENDO! he left the "ST" off!
There 100 years to late, the rest of us are in the 11th gen jet phase by now.
They trying in glad they have dreams I just hope they learn about white thrust and lift.
can someone let them know we can help them?
800 kilograms? Holy crap. 80 kilos maybe minus engine but no way otherwise.
People who played with motors have no understanding of aerodynamics I used to fly glider and or power club and 1 day the guy freaked out and said it can't be that high it can't be that hi that's just a launching system he got so upset he couldn't drive home and as wife had to come pick him up any never flew again
🤣🤣🤣
He knew it would not fly😅
One day they will fly
They are playing a dangerous game. What an innocence? Please be careful in terms of safety cautions. When it will be aired then no way.
They didnt have strong engines 😡
the wrong brothas
We Wuz Aviators in sheet.
"Mayday! Mayday! This is tyquan 1 going down n' shiet!"
LOL hilarious!
😂😂🤣🤣
Those planes will fly stealthy, because radar wont recognize them as planes... They'll confuse radars.... LMAO
What's that beat you used in the video?
They are not bad air crafts, they failed remember they don't have what we have
2:10 yea and you see how that goes huh
"African Space Research Program" 🤣
You DON'T want these planes to fly.
Turns out you need basic understanding of basic engineering to build a plane that flies🤔
Why this people not think at least build one functional drone or rc airplane rather than build big size crap aircraft 🤨
Oscar, as you may have anticipated, many of the viewer comments will suppose that this post is racist. If they just check your channel out, it is a legitimate and well crafted series of videos which are very good and informational. As most of us know, the Internet is full of videos which are known as "fails". These are usually where people attempt something risky, and the results are sometimes comical and thus entertaining. These also were quite humorous, but also showed the dedication and perseverance of well-meaning attempts to accomplish a dream, from the very beginning steps - with a long, long way to go. Good work! I'm subscribed. 😊
Thank you very much Gilbert...
If I ever go to ALL THE TROUBLE of building an Airplane, I can't help but think a Basic Understanding of Aerodynamics and HOW to build an airplane would come in REALLY HANDY. I just don't get why ANYONE would WASTE THEIR TIME building a piece of JUNK that "Looks" like an Airplane...
I love Areoplanes
This is so hood...
