Rich Goodwin take his Jet Pitts for a taxi test under the power of 2 jet engines for the first time. Recorded at Gloucester Airport December 3rd 2021. Support us by joining this channel: / @planestv
I have a massive massive amount of respect for this Man always an absolutely fantastic display every single time guaranteed to keep you on the edge of your seat. and even better is grew up sitting on the bandstand at Gloucester airport watching the planes and have even worked at a company there and now one of my favourite display pilots is based there.
😳Just watched this fly at the 2023 Duxford summer air show. Amazing plane. The sound of a jet engine when watching a biplane defying gravity is fantastic.
Just saw him displaying at Teignmouth Airshow. This was the most incredible powered aircraft display I’ve ever seen. Nothing comes close. He made the superb Typhoon look sedentary. I’m still in awe of what this aircraft can do.
I think the fella gets why over here when someone says "Americans are crazy" some of us Europeans just say.... "yeah" and take another zip from the pint....
This concept came to fruition over a decade ago by the late great Jimmy Franklin. He attached a jet engine to the bottom of his highly modified Waco. Did a bunch of air shows with it. Jimmy was the first. And was also American.
Hi. You can see the passion. What a retirement vocation! There will be some loss of forward thrust folks with the engines inclined out which everyone involved will know about of course. If I remember my trigonometry correctly it will not be that much at the angles involved but reducing the angle will gain a bit back It will be very interesting to see the performance once all the certifying authorities are happy with the safety. I'm delighted Planes TV is covering this sort of aspect as well as the flying. It helps appreciate what it really takes to get up there in the air.
On the US airshow circuit, they have a 'Yak 110': basically, two Yak 55s welded together at the wing spars, so that the end result is a 'twin Yak (which they've dubbed the Yak 110) comprising of two cockpits and two propellers. But, they've thrown in extra propulsion in the form of a mounted jet engine, which was salvaged from a Cessna BizJet, if I am not mistaken. I've seen it fly (not in person, but in the youtube videos), and it is a fantastic and unique flying contraption! I plan to visit the US and hopefully see it fly at an airshow.
We've been waiting to fly it for a long time. There are numerous design requirements to agree with our regulator! All work in progress! As I'm sure you can imagine.

Mixed powered aircraft like this Jet Pitts are rare and obscure and should be treat to see at an airshow.

An exciting little project, well carried out, and an excellent video! Looking forward to seeing it in the air.
If it becomes a regular feature on the UK airshow circuit, it would make a refreshing change from the usual stuff we see year in and year out.
Fantastic work Rich…looking forward to seeing you in action with this beast!
WOW.!! What a beauty good luck Rich hopefully see the jet Pitts flying next year
Can't wait to see this flying at my local Clacton airshow in the near future.
A possible venue for planes TV to live stream also.
something that finally gives Mike Patey a run for his money!
Excellent video Iain; many thanks for posting.....looking forward to following Richard's further progress on this fascinating project

WOW ! Amazing project Richard !!!!!!!!! Bravo 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 wishing you the best with it and with life. Really enjoyed the video❤️☺️
Wow what a great project, can’t wait for the next instalment.
Thank you Iain for this wonderful video of a fascinating aircraft.
Love to see aeronautic innovation!

Jet Biplane! 3-Engined Jet Pitts PlanesTV love louis shirley

What a beauty! Would love to see how those engines are rated under high-g manoeuvres the Pitts is capable of!

What great man lets more of you.
Very smart. Be interesting to see how the bearings hold up with the g force. Can’t wait to see it fly.
Brilliant!
Well I suppose someone had to do it.
Just saw it today at black pool
Same, bloody amazing to watch
I have just seen him fly today at Southport I must say I was confused
Mini jet engines have been put on many light aircraft, the Cri Cri has had them, I've seen a hang glider with one, a glider...
Beautiful paintwork. Not crazy about the jet engines tbh
❤
Does this having turbofans mean it needs a type rating?
What type of turbojet engines are these? What are their output thrust ratings?
350 lbs thrust each
What type of jet engine is that?
Amt lynx turbo jet
How about some descent video of this thing flying with the jets dude? WTF

The control tower never gives out the permission
They said multiple times that the weren’t to allowed to yet…
