Neither Frank Whittle, nor Hans von Ohain, or Henri Coandă or Secondo Campini. The idea of "reaction engines" exited 2000 years earlier in Greece. The key innovation was that both Frank Whittle (first) and Hans von Ohain (second, independently) were able to harness a little of the exhaust energy to drive an intake fan, the turbo-jet engine (Germans were in first all jet flying aircraft, followed by UK).
@@aydinali5381 It's a different topic that I'm suggesting, just like how they do the "Pages of history" with tanks and planes, they could do about vehicle mounted machine guns.
Yeah, i thought, they could make a hurricane with one propeller blade wooden as a tribute for Bruce's dad. Watch ,,Never in a Hurri" video from wt channel, you'll get it.
It is important to note that while Frank Whittle first had the idea, the German jet development was independent from it because it was kept under tight locks by the military and Hans Papst von Ohain came to a very similar conclusion on how to power modern planes in the early 30s without knowing of Whittle's work. Part of the reason why German jet engines are notably different in design, they are axial to the British radial variant. The US never equipped Sabres with Missiles, only export versions got them as the US had already moved on to more modern planes or planned to. The first use of Sidewinders was by Taiwanese Sabres in a conflict with PRC China.
this one I read but haven't confirmed yet by comparing to other aircraft at the time, is that the Bristol beaufighter was the first plane designed with RADAR in mind or one of the variants were designed with RADAR installation as apart of the base design instead of something added later on.
1:35 I beg to differ. The first jet engine was invented as far as 2000 years ago. You know that guy Hero from Alexandria, and his invention called Hero's engine? That's technically the first jet engine in existence. But ok, we're talking modern jet engines here. So the first modern(ish) jet engine was built in 1910 by that guy called Coanda (also known for the discovery of "Coanda effect"). It was primitive, the compressor was powered by an ordinary piston engine, but it was the first airborne jet engine. And the first patent for an aircraft jet engine was granted to Maxime Guillaume in 1921. So Whittle wasn't the first to think about aircraft jet engine, wasn't even first to build it. Yes, he did a lot to improve the design and i'm not denying it, but to say he invented the jet engine is quite an overstatement.
Wasn't the B-29's bomber with it's pressurised cabin a pretty import breaktrough for altitude and range advantages? Also would be interesting to hear about the first aircraft to land on a carrier.
In war thunder the earliest made aeroplane you can get up to the speed of sound, even in level flight is the Me163, though you don’t get much usage out of an interceptor 15km high and with 1 min to 1:30 of fuel left
Pretty sure the MiG-17 could break the sound barrier and came out before the F-100. Also worth mentioning that the MiG-15 was actually the first aircraft design *theoretically capable* of breaking the sound barrier (but was never tested because of the risks)
I would like to point out an error in your information, the first Sabre to break the sound barrier was NOT a F-100 but in fact was a CA-27 Sabre (Australian) broke the sound barrier in a 5-10 degree dive over Port Phillip Bay, 2 minute flight away from Commonwealth Aircraft Corporation Fishermen’s Bend, Melbourne
Just a side note here on the Sabre. The F-86 was easily able to break Mach 1 in a dive. The importance of the F-100 Super Sabre was being able to break the sound barrier in level flight. I've read arguments (Sourced from the Smithsonian Air and Space Magazine) that indicated George Welch to be the first Supersonic pilot, before Chuck Yeager, in the F-86 prototype. Whether he actually did or not is not clear, and will probably be forever a mystery.

First ALL METAL aircraft (excluding control surfaces), THAT is the most important breakthrough of all. More streamlined, more durable, and would not rot and turn into compost in 2 years. It was only in early 1930's mass production of all metal aircraft was possible. In game the first built is most likely the French Dewoitine D.371.
Even if the breaktroughs are old or seem insignificant today, some pre-World-War-2 aircraft designs made a huge impact for history and aircraft development. Like the first dive bombers to G-lock in a dive, or the first "dumb" rocket air kill, which I believe goes to USSR against Japanese bombers. We also have one of the first gunship helicopters, UH-1 "Huey", which lead to the development of one of the first dedicated attack helicopters, AH-1 Cobra.

I think the X4 deserves a little more credit. Especially when you elaborate on how you decided to include the aircraft you did, ie. produced en masse and designed for that purpose. The X4 certainly checks both of those boxes. Saying it wasn't "operational" is really nitpicky and (possibly false depending on how you categorize firing "tests" at enemy aircraft) is usually only brought up when two designs enter service at similar times. In this case, there is almost a decade between the two.
The HE-162 was the first plane to break the sound barrier. It could only achieve it in a dive though. And I believe Luftwaffe pilots were afraid of causing the sonic boom so they stopped doing full powered dives.
This is why I consider Argentine military tech tree a good option for war thunder. The list below is made by me from my humble knowledge considering aircraft and tanks that are innovation for the video game and others that are already created. Added to this list, Argentina would integrate well the list of countries due to its conflict over the Malvinas Islands with Great Britain and because it did not add maps of it to the game.

@@brimstone1355 it is. It's only strengths are armor and gun, it's gun is inconsistent and it's armor is vulnerable to to common heat projectiles. It's slower than 99% of tanks and bigger than 99% of tanks. It cannot maneuver and thus, is easy pickings for any plane.
Turbo compressor jet engines were not invented by the British, in the first patent for an axial flow turbojet was made in France in 1921 by Maxime Guillaume. Though the concept was already known and proposed around all Europe.
I believed that it was in 1958 that the ROCAF first use the AIM-9 to shoot down several Mig-17. It was the first combat in human history utilize an air to air missile
Ohain designed an engine which was different to that of Whittles design, not only that he got it into the air first using a Heinkel airframe. Whittle's design was more complicated, look at the Jumo 004 and then at Whittle's engine, the German design was sleeker and produced more power.
It'd be also welcome to discuss design innovations that get a bit less of a spotlight, such as radio guided precision munitions developments out of Japan and the US (such as the sea-skimming anti-ship Ki-147 and Ki-148, or the surface to air radio proximity fusing Funryu for Japan, and the guided bombs AZON and BAT for the US), aerial torpedo designs such as the Type 91 and mark 13 might also be worth spotlighting, as extremely shallow run torpedoes and stabilizing fins and boxes dramatically improved drop speed, altitude, and reliability, allowing for notably improved strike performance. As far as additional firsts to consider, there's the first all-metal carrier borne aircraft of the A5M, while not as glamorous, I believe certainly worth noting for showcasing the global trend towards more advanced carrier aircraft.
Better than the tank firsts. Still find it confusing you didn't note the M3 medium tank for the stabilizer part when it is in game , modelled with it, and the direct predecessor to both in reality and in WT. Also great to see honorable mentions of vehicles not quiet in game yet though I must say: When can we expect the British night fighter Blenheims, Mosquitos, and Beaufighters? Perhaps someday. I am still impressed overall with all the creative use of skins and vehicles to represent ones not in game (US Sabre with Sidewinders, Pola as Roma, Me 262 with a rocket to represent a missile, etc)
Will you guys ever reduce the repair costs for the b29 and make it you know... playable. Since it’s one of the most famous ww2 bombers in history a lot of people want to play it but can’t because if they do and die, they’ll lose like1/4 of all their silver lions from one game
When they finally receive another jet which is not copy and paste and worthless by the time it comes out. Imagine waiting for 3-6 years for a single jet that you and hundreds of others wanted still not being in the game despite being tested, produced and flown in combat. Gaijin please give germany some more native jets it's been more than 2years or more
P-51 mustangs on semi regular bases hit mach speeds and occasionaly super sonic when diving on or chasing me262,s during wwii so did the occasional p-47 thunderbolt and I think there was a case of a spitfire doing so as well so f100 wasn’t the first production aircraft to hit Mach rather was the first production plane to hit Mach that was designed for it.

Saying it wasn't "operational" is really nitpicky and (possibly false depending on how you categorize firing "tests" at enemy aircraft) is usually only brought up when two designs enter service at similar times. In this case, there is almost a decade between the two.
Wish I could listen to the soundtrack of the shooting range...
The HE-162 was the first plane to break the sound barrier. It could only achieve it in a dive though. And I believe Luftwaffe pilots were afraid of causing the sonic boom so they stopped doing full powered dives.
I swear it was the me163 that broke the sound barrier
@@cqpp Yeah sorry you are right. I got the planes confused.
I personally think that at the end of the day what matters is of it was the first, not if it was mass produced
This is why I consider Argentine military tech tree a good option for war thunder.
The list below is made by me from my humble knowledge considering aircraft and tanks that
are innovation for the video game and others that are already created. Added to this list,
Argentina would integrate well the list of countries due to its conflict over the Malvinas Islands
with Great Britain and because it did not add maps of it to the game. Argentine aeronautical
history is highly respected throughout the world and it proved its ability when it had to.
Of course I may have forgotten about other military instruments that may be suitable for the
game.

Thanks!
Delta wings or double delta wings episode? The J35 or something much earlier if it exists.
And the j35 with the cobra manoeuvre!
Here's something you missed. The Northrop F-5 was not only used by China, it was a very popular export fighter in use by many nations
Mirage Delta-wing configuration, because Delta-wings are awesome and the Mirage is awesome
as far as I can remember. the first jet engine was invented in Romania and the first plane, also in Romania.
This man belongs on national geographic or something, his voice just radiates intellect
Whoever is narrating deserves a raise.
163, can't even take off: Snail "And here's a video completely ignoring that"
It is only a pity that not a single American Sabre does not have sidewinder rockets: /
Facts such a revolutionary missile
Day 6: Bring back the Maus!
The maus is bad
@@vaguevtx5090 no its not
@@brimstone1355 it is. It's only strengths are armor and gun, it's gun is inconsistent and it's armor is vulnerable to to common heat projectiles. It's slower than 99% of tanks and bigger than 99% of tanks. It cannot maneuver and thus, is easy pickings for any plane.
The maus will not ever be added back because it simply can’t be balanced
Bring back the maus ;(
6:15 US-Sabre with missiles?
I went to check that out immediatly...but nonw of my american sabres have missiles, i hope that this is a hint for the next update
that's probably a skin for the CL 13B or the japanese Sabre
@@lukaslibar7615 yea hoping for the same here
Turbo compressor jet engines were not invented by the British, in the first patent for an axial flow turbojet was made in France in 1921 by Maxime Guillaume. Though the concept was already known and proposed around all Europe.
I believed that it was in 1958 that the ROCAF first use the AIM-9 to shoot down several Mig-17. It was the first combat in human history utilize an air to air missile
TL;DW Highlights:
4:45 USAF F-4D Phantom II
6:22 USAF F-86 with Sidewinders
Dornier brought out the first vertical start plane, the Dornier Do 31 made its first successful flight in 1967 but the program was canceled
Ohain designed an engine which was different to that of Whittles design, not only that he got it into the air first using a Heinkel airframe. Whittle's design was more complicated, look at the Jumo 004 and then at Whittle's engine, the German design was sleeker and produced more power.
What about the YAK-38, First VTOL aircraft with an afterburner, and while we are at it also the first VTOL aircraft with a separate lift fan
Can you add an in game Boom & Zoom tutorial?
Have altitude advantage, dive, don’t lock up, climb again
They already have one just try and look it up
@@evanflessner1529 i think it’s more so for new players
On youtube
@@evanflessner1529 The "Don't lock up" part is what I'm having trouble with.
Did you miss anything? YES. The advent of the Do 17 Z-7 as the world's first 2 engine interceptor
When you don't know how to deal with ground targets so you strap a 75mm cannon onto your plane
It'd be also welcome to discuss design innovations that get a bit less of a spotlight, such as radio guided precision munitions developments out of Japan and the US (such as the sea-skimming anti-ship Ki-147 and Ki-148, or the surface to air radio proximity fusing Funryu for Japan, and the guided bombs AZON and BAT for the US), aerial torpedo designs such as the Type 91 and mark 13 might also be worth spotlighting, as extremely shallow run torpedoes and stabilizing fins and boxes dramatically improved drop speed, altitude, and reliability, allowing for notably improved strike performance.
As far as additional firsts to consider, there's the first all-metal carrier borne aircraft of the A5M, while not as glamorous, I believe certainly worth noting for showcasing the global trend towards more advanced carrier aircraft.
In reality, the first aircraft with verticale takeoff is the French Mirage III V in 1965. The first flight of the harrier is only in 1967
F 104 was the first combat-capable aircraft to pass mach 2 and the English Electric Lightning, which was the first jet able to supercruise
My favourite has to be the English Electric Lighting - the first and only British made plane to hit mach 2
Better than the tank firsts. Still find it confusing you didn't note the M3 medium tank for the stabilizer part when it is in game , modelled with it, and the direct predecessor to both in reality and in WT.
Also great to see honorable mentions of vehicles not quiet in game yet though I must say: When can we expect the British night fighter Blenheims, Mosquitos, and Beaufighters? Perhaps someday. I am still impressed overall with all the creative use of skins and vehicles to represent ones not in game (US Sabre with Sidewinders, Pola as Roma, Me 262 with a rocket to represent a missile, etc)
Did you miss anything?
The J35D’s Cobra capability.
I’d really love to see an American Kite-plane. I was thinking the f-106 Delta Dart would be pretty cool.
Can we have a video on the ‘last of a kind’ vehicles. Like how you already did with the last piston engines.
Like with what, biplanes?
@@IHaevATajpo yeah maybe
Wrong. The first Sabre to break the sound barrier was a CAC Sabre, built in Australia.
you missed one thing the best air to ground missle was F-104
They should have renamed it the Lawn Dart. It put so many pilots 6 feet under.
2 of the best planes ever in the Thumbnail
Gajin could you please have a look at the repair costs on some vehicles it doesn’t balance them it just ruins playing them e.g Mig21Bis, Tu4, b29
Bruh the bis deserves that repair cost its so good
Also it’s an ai that does rep cost
And u missed the A5M being the first monoplane carrier-capable fighter!!!
It was so cool when the other plane flew above when plane 1 was hovering
Zachmilk -217
The first invention of cobra maneuver for a jet fithger
The Draken
You guys missed the first plane's designed to take off and land on naval carriers and first planes designed with sweep wing technology
No mention of the Hellcat using radar in the pacific as early as 1942 huh
In USSR, the I-16 became the first monoplane fighter in production in the world
You know there were monoplanes in WW1, they existed.
Will you guys ever reduce the repair costs for the b29 and make it you know... playable. Since it’s one of the most famous ww2 bombers in history a lot of people want to play it but can’t because if they do and die, they’ll lose like1/4 of all their silver lions from one game
Interviewer:so then, which country had the best aircraft?
WWI:Germany, Without a question.
WWII:NO BODY
First Rocket Fighter (at least of ww2): Bereznyak-Isayev BI-1?
Q: When will Germany actually be balanced? And not Buffed.
When they finally receive another jet which is not copy and paste and worthless by the time it comes out. Imagine waiting for 3-6 years for a single jet that you and hundreds of others wanted still not being in the game despite being tested, produced and flown in combat. Gaijin please give germany some more native jets it's been more than 2years or more
Very few people know this, but the a10 can reach hyper sonic speeds in a shallow dive
I love how the me262 is a major subject in the video, and that the video has 262k views
Gajin:Britain created first vtol ever
German designs of helicopter-like planes from ww2: *Am I joke to you?*
P-51 mustangs on semi regular bases hit mach speeds and occasionaly super sonic when diving on or chasing me262,s during wwii so did the occasional p-47 thunderbolt and I think there was a case of a spitfire doing so as well so f100 wasn’t the first production aircraft to hit Mach rather was the first production plane to hit Mach that was designed for it.
Me163 was first to break the sound barrier but it couldn't be claimed due to to ear time conditions
2:26
The comet: if I can’t have a tail than neither can you
US Sabre has missiles? Pretty sure it’s a future premium.
I think harriers were a great advanced for figther planes and also missiles are really important
Question, why is the komet br 8.3? It seems like it just doesn't;t belong in the world of air to air missiles and such. Amazing video, btw :)
Its both too low and to high...
The Vampire is what actually killed the S.O 8000. The Marine nationale took some Vampire jets under the name of Mistral... I think those are also joinig France in the gamer soon.
