A look inside different contemporary designs for planes and flying machines such as the Convair XF2Y Sea Dart, the General Airborne Transport XCG-16, The Miles Libellula, or the Avrocar.In a little over a century, the aviation industry has gone from learning to fly, to learning to fly faster, learning to fly further, learning to fly heavier planes, and now to having 100,000 plus commercial flights occurring around the world every day.Aviation has truly been at the forefront of innovation to become one of the safest and most reliable modes of transportation in the world today.
Learn about the Vought XF5U, and Project Hummingbird, or explore the lesser-known Doak VZ-4.The video presents a brief but comprehensive overview of the variety of innovations related to aviation.
From ancient times onwards, flight has been a measure of scientific progress, a symbol of wealth and status, and a catalyst for interpersonal and international competition. It is a field that has, for the majority of its history, been pioneered largely by the dedication of individuals rather than corporations or governments. The history of aviation is incredibly broad and complicated, so much so that its entirety couldn’t be easily contained in any single written source.

Excellent video. HUGE CUDO's to those amazing pilots who climbed aboard those planes risking their lives to test the work the engineers and fabricators invested to discover whether or not that aircraft was viable for the tasks of protecting America's FREEDOM. To those who lost their lives,, GOD BLESS, may they rest in peace and may their families understand America appreciates their contributions. Know this, they were doing something they loved. FREEDOM AIN'T FREE!

I wish I was alive and able to participate in these events and the turn of the century I just can't imagine being alive in the 30s 40s and 50s and taking part in the aviation advancements

Fascinating story about the X31

The X29 was one of my dads projects while he was at darpa. It was a great test bed

The Sea Dart was a direct answer to the Delta Dart the USAF wanted, and a tually flew before the Delta. I saw a Sea Dart at Marshall Space Flight Center sitting outside the public area, but easily visible over a low fence. It was unrestored at the time (96 or 97) and I did not see it at all the next time I was there in 2019, but I might have missed it.

The X-31 guys don't seem to have had any personal consequences for their contribution to failure. In fact, they seem here to be profiting from it.

The F-22 has VTOL capability? I’ve watched them take off and land plenty, and it looks pretty horizontal to me.

""Zimmer Skimmers" were maybe not succesfull, but they were one of the coolest looking aircrafts ever for me.😎

Regarding the X-31, there should have been a reiteration of the R3 Mode as a safety net for any pitot tube related issues as the NEW Pitot sensor MIGHT fail in an incurable way as it did. Of course when there were over 100+ prior successful flights, complacency would be normal, so why change modes...of course the frozen pitot tube WAS just such an exception, but both the PILOT and the GROUND TEAM would have to have been VERY ALERT to make that QUICK decision. My father was a WW2 Bomber Navigator and always told me to STAY ALERT! That keeps you alive as he survived 4 crash landings and knew what he was talking about! Luckily the pilot punched out before he became a statistic! Glad they got going again after 84 days and did extremely well at the Paris Air Show that same year. In 2024, I see similarity to the F-23 and often wonder how it would have done in production as it might have been far less costly than the F-22.

M35 and especially M39b - I can see where Rutan got the idea the varieze and longeze ‘canard’ design.

2:04:17 we go from an X3 Stiletto ... to a Duglas SkyRaider prop job, with a toilet mounted as ordinance on the far starboard wing pylon. LOL ... dreams VS reality.

The first non-stop SOLO flight between New York and Paris. On 14 June 1919, British aviators Captain John Alcock and Lieutenant Arthur Whitten Brown (navigator) successfully completed the first non-stop in a twin-engine Vickers Vimy F.B. 27A Mk.

I think it would be cool if some one would try to recreate the flying pancake with modern engines and stuff or maybe even do 2 pt6 turbo props. Now that would be awesome to see. But will more than likely never happen
