This idea was perfectly reasonable. The only issue was the hybrid was ahead of the materials science. Sirorsky tried a hybrid called the X wing and it worked fine.
See the Wikipedia article about the Sikorsky S-72, which was the X-wing vehicle. It never flew in the X-wing configuration. Subsequently Boeing tried out the same idea (a stopped rotor that turns into a wing) as the X-50, and they were never able to get that to work either. Fortunately, given that both aircraft were destroyed in crashes, they had decided to build them remote controlled instead of putting a crew in them.
Cables, They are multi stranded internal conductors held in an insulator A wire is a singular strand held in an insulator or without an insulator Cables, this is what they are called . You would not call a tree a eunoch........ which is a man with no tongue or undercarriage. Thanks
Yes I do want to see a video on the Flying Asymmetrical Rotor Thing-a-mabob! Thanks for uploading another great segment. And in advance for the FART video!
Honestly it might actually be safer, with a bigger main it could feasibly auto rotate, and with smaller forward propellers it could actually preform a conventional unpowered landing
@@OldTownCrab love the fact people forget that the black hawk killed more people then the V-22 which is why the black hawk was know for being a pain to fly.
@@giancarlom. I meant is not you but many netizen in internet who watch this thing. They belive everything this video said even if this video said this plane can takedown 500 F-22 they would believe it too.
Done with the video, I must say... Although short, it had lots of detail and I really liked it! Now I'm going to my sketch book to make a concept like this!
@@VacuousCat It’s so odd that even though you have no clue what you’re talking about, you just pretend. You could present it as a question and I could tell you that A. differential thrust just wouldn’t be enough, B. that you would no longer have the ability to use full power, and C. that even if A and B weren’t true, which they are, you would immediately die if you had an engine failure, but instead you just pretend to know things you do not know. It’s so sad how many people like you exist
Imagine if Fairey Rotodyne would be suggested to the US Army and then find a great use in Vietnam. I’m sure its military version could save an entire project.
I would agree if the Rotodyne would had the normal mechanical driven main rotor, instead of its tipjet rotor, which made it incredibly noisy both for the civilian than the military standard.
@@emilianocaprili4160Fairey was fairly certain they could get the noise down. Also the tip-jets were part of the reason why it had such capable performance. They made the thing significantly lighter and simpler, with a conventional rotor it would've also likely needed a conventional tail rotor.
A very interesting concept for a plane-copter hybrid. If I recall right, the exact same concept was used in the 1933 Sci-Fi novel 'Der Wettflug der Nationen' by Hans Dominik, a novel where after his death, a super-rich guy iniates a global air-race between the various nations, with the winning prize being his entire company, money and patents. The German team comes up with an airplane concept just like we see here, propeller driven engines under the wings and a foldable helicopter blade on top. Though after WW2 the novel was slightly rewritten, with the airspeeds simply doubled and the propeller engines under the wings now described to be jet-engines. So it seems that concept was though of quite early.
6:01 I 100% Think that a 727 with Helicopter Blades would make it have more options to land like at London city. But they need to add like a long platform for these 727-Copters to land on.
5:05 "Currently" always refers to the present of the speaker. For what you mean the construction would be something like "the US Army's helicopters operating in Vietnam at the time".
Love your work mate. always interesting content and I would love to see a vid on the XV2 concept aircraft. Thanks so much for all of the hard work you put into these videos.
Video Reccomendation: Make a video covering the Aerion SBJ. Keep on going and do what you do best. These videos are entertaining with their segways into different parts of aircraft developement and all that good stuff.
I don't like that some engines work only for horizontal flight, and some - only for vertical movement. Why not make 2 propellers, one on each wing? The diameter of each propeller will be equal to the length of the wing, for takeoff and landing, the wings together with the engines will be in a vertical position, respectively, the propellers are horizontal and the wings will not interfere with the lifting force as on the V-22. When switching to horizontal flight, the wings and engines move to a horizontal position and the propellers to a vertical position.
I absolutely love how you discuss cancelled military projects. It really shows that the ambitions and goals of humanity have somewhat remained the same over the years, despite the low amount of technological advancements, or rather lack thereof in some cases. It's kind of like looking at Da Vinci's old schematics or American postcards from the 1910s/20s depicting the "future of travel". It's also fascinating seeing the obviously bad ideas like the bouncing tank you covered. Despite the bad concept, it shows that the creativity and resourcefulness of the human mind truly is something special.
It looks vaguely similar to Eurocopter X3, but X3's side prop configuration is far simpler. The rotor doesn't retract, and there's no need for a tail rotor because one of the side props simply reverses pitch. Even though the rotor doesn't retract, X3 is almost as fast as a tilt rotor, while being more efficient in hover.
Omg everyone look up 2000 sci-fi action movie "The 6th Day," Arnold Schwarzenegger played the owner of a small aircraft rental company specializing in VTOL "Whispercraft," advanced jet-powered helicopters whose blades could be "fixed" in flight to function as conventional wings. That is what I thought of when this video came up
I love the "solid gold" design approach! It's one of those things that Americans do the best. And this one was solid gold, silver shoed and diamond encrusted.
Instead of having the rotors goign back into the fuselage, Just have them out like a normal helicopter, but also keep either the additional extra prop or turbofan engines as well.
Their first approach was like that, but the rotor probably would cause too much drag for the speeds they wanted, that the request-for-proposal specified.
If money had of grown on trees the way to have gone would have been a tip jet propelled twin rotor job like the K-Max helicopter. It would be a good candidate for single blade couterweighted rotors, that slow and stop in a swept position with a natural anhedral stability and use in pitch control (no tail plane needed just a NOTAR like the Sikorsky scheme). Bleed air from the high speed flight engines would be tapped off to propell the tip jets (No heavy gearboxes just ducting). No need to raise/lower a rotor hub or have extra wings. The Sikorsky design shown looked more promissing than the lockheed. The tail rotor pin-wheeling at the end of a horizontal stab at 500mph is just gold 😅😋
I was hoping it was going to be another idea that was brought up that it be like that from the movie or like it was going to be built but like said it ended up being overtaken by another aircraft and end up being scrap only for Hollywood to seen it and brought it to life in the movie. But this is still amazing looking work with history behind these things and for how it'll sound like a new generation of aircrafts if built fully.
My piggy back 2 blade rotor idea is to have one blade pitched horizontally and the other blade pitched vertically when not in use. This would cause the rotor to stop in the NS position (automatically) by the airflow. The vertically pitched blade will make the rotor "weather cock" into the most streamlined posion. Can't believe they didn't think of it! Also a 3 blade rotor will stop so tthe blades resemble a jet wing with one foward facing blade. The 3 blade rotor naturally stops in that position with zero pitch on the blades. Very stable and reasonably streamlined for a (stopped) 3 blade rotor at zero pitch. How do I know? I tried it with a small model 3 blade prop. Always does it without fail. I even tried it on a small glider. It glided really well and I could see the rotor stopped in the jet wing posion. If youscroll down my videos enough, you might find it. It's on my ch main page too. As a sample.
If this design was instead designed to be a gyro plane that used the rotor for lift while flying and had little jets on the tips of the wings could it have worked better?
This idea was perfectly reasonable. The only issue was the hybrid was ahead of the materials science. Sirorsky tried a hybrid called the X wing and it worked fine.
Yeah?? Wil E Coyote had faith in Acme Products too!
Aaand then there's the Osprey. Also the Harrier.
"stay on target... stay on target"

If you want good idea on how the looks, watch the movie "The 6th Day".
That must be quite the maintenance jungle of wires lol
especially with 1960s technology
THAT LITERALLY MY FIRST THOUGHT
Cables,
They are multi stranded internal conductors held in an insulator
A wire is a singular strand held in an insulator or without an insulator
Cables, this is what they are called . You would not call a tree a eunoch........ which is a man with no tongue or undercarriage.
Thanks
Don't think "wires" but rather Hydraulics and probably without the Redundancy used in modern aircraft....
Wires = Easy
Servos = Pain
Hydraulics = Trauma Inducing

it spins
Done with the video, I must say... Although short, it had lots of detail and I really liked it! Now I'm going to my sketch book to make a concept like this!
Tail rotor isn't really needed, just use differential thrust with the two engines.
Had to put it there for the cavemen running the military at the time.
it would not be anywhere near sufficient to counteract the rotor's rotation
@@hoolihanohoolihan1011 it will for the weight and complexity it saves

Suddenly M.A.S.K is starting to look a lot more realistic as time goes by
Miles Mayhem approves
So...Miles Mayhem's Plane/chopper was real? Heh this is awesome :D
Miles Mayhem! That was it. Couldn’t remember his name. Only remembered the group was called Venom.
One of the best intro songs of any cartoon. 😂
It was called "Switchblade", IIRC
They are making a live action movie !
@@JUL-Nomad-Soul I hope that is true.
@@OvisMilitaris Me as well.
VENOM perfected this design in the 80’s in order to combat M.A.S.K.
The M.A.S.K Cartoon, had such an aircraft. The Switchblade.
I love the design,
Edit: imagine vortex from the transformers decepticon side seeing this, he is a helicopter jet transformer aka. Triple changer
It is more like Mayhem's vehicle in M.A.S.K animated series, The Switchblade...
Reminds me of a skyranger if there was another retro XCOM game
Your wishe came through, it's called Xenonaut
6:01 I 100% Think that a 727 with Helicopter Blades would make it have more options to land like at London city. But they need to add like a long platform for these 727-Copters to land on.
1:05 music name?
How will a asymmetrical rotor like 5:17 work?
a blade is replaced by a balancing weight
I'll just put this here... Switchblade from the show M.A.S.K.
I love how it started hovering before the blades came out.
This idea was really reasonable and useful, even today!!!
Not transformers, it remind me to 80's cartoon, MASK
This channel is a treat =)
Asymmetrical rotor deserves it's own video
this...
this actually makes sence for once xD
You are the best!
Very interesting video 👍👍
Looks like Switchblade from MASK

Were the 50s-70s a super golden age of aviation innovation?
Or will we be talking about tons of cool current drone programs in 30y?
lmao i love the dont post on tiktok note on that blackboard
M.A.S.K., the cartoon.
The best part of this concept is the bloody rotar doesn't just fold it bloody stows itself away
This think looks a lot like the Switch Blade from M.A.S.K. 🤯, now the XV-2 is just insane looking , definitely need that video please
Anytime you ask if you should do a video on it: yes lol

HSVTOL(High-Speed Vertical Take-Off and Landing) by Bell, might be implementation of this idea.

in the Soviet Union there were projects of rotorcraft with the fuselage of a transport aircraft KA-34 and KA-35

imagine turning this into a small 30 seater passenger plane.
Nice touch to use the original Polish pronunciation of the Piasecki surname!
It's such a good thing that I stayed home today 😊
Something similar to the V22 Ospray would happen sooner or later. 🤔
it'a not a copter, it's not a plane, it's a CARR

Can you make video about Rotodyne? This girocopter already solve problem. Avro Rotodine working on jet version.
