Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “15 Remarkable Aircraft from Yesterday to Today”.
This is Glen and we hope you enjoy this list of 15 unusual aircraft from yesterday to today. ( upbeat music ). Thank you for watching Minds. Eye Design. [ Alex ] Number 15. [ Glen ]. The Eraole is powered by electricity that comes from three different power sources, including solar panels that cover the wings providing part of the power, while hydrogen offers some and a combustion engine running on total biojet fuel instead of the initially planned marine algae, provides the rest. Pilot Raphael Dinelli and his team hope to get the plane up to 70 hours of flight time, after which they’ll have a test flight from New York to Le Bourget France. This summer, following Charles Lindbergh’s historic flight across the Atlantic.
( upbeat music, ) [ Alex ] Number 14. [ Glen ], Designed by Barnaby Wainfan a Northrop Grumman aerodynamicist. The Wainfan FMX-4 Facetmobile is a low aspect ratio, experimental, home-built sport airplane.. The first flight happened in April of’93 and the plane has approximately 130 hours of total flight time.
( upbeat music ) [ Alex ] Number 13. [ Glen ], A single engined jet aircraft by Metal-Master, the Flaris LAR 1 completed its first flight on April. 8Th of this year test flights confirmed that the lightweight five seat, personal jet, could take off using less than 330 feet of runway. An incredibly low, take off weight, advanced propulsion and exceptional aerodynamics. Give this reduced emissions and low consumption rate.. The LAR 1 can also climb, at a rate 5900 feet per minute.. Metal-Master hopes to have certification from Poland by the end of the year and the European Union Aviation Safety Agency by the end of 2020. ( upbeat music, ) [, Alex ] Number 12. [ Glen ], The Proteus built in 1997 and 98 is designed by Burt Rutan. The Proteus features a tandem wing twin boom configuration with two rear-mounted turbo fan engines supplying power.. It can carry loads at altitudes above 50000 feet. And remain on a mission for up to 14 hours.
( upbeat music ) [ Alex ] Number 11. [ Glen ] Developed in the early’80s as a replacement for the King Air. The Beechcraft Starship is a twin turbo. Prop powered six to eight passenger aircraft with pusher propellers and a front canard wing a costly aircraft. This used a fully composite airframe and a glass cockpit. Designed by Burt Rutan. The Starship had the added safety feature of being practically stall proof.. If the aircraft tries to stall the canards stall first, which makes the nose drop slightly and ensures the main wing continues to fly, allowing for stall recovery.
( upbeat music, ) [, Alex ] Number 10. [ Glen ] French creator, LISA invented the light aircraft Akoya a Blend of impressive performance smooth lines, a unique versatility., The two seat aircraft is unique because it can land on land, water or snow.. The most important innovation is the patented sea, foil technology that allows the plane to take off from water. Small fin like wings under the aircraft.
Let it operate in the water while performing well in the air.. The aircraft’s retractable landing gears fitted with both skis and wheels. Making it the only aircraft that can take off from snow and land on water. ( upbeat music, ) [, Alex ] Number nine.
[ Glen ], Founded in 2012 Dinelly Aerosystems, was created with the intention of manufacturing and developing a multifunctional gyrocopter.. The Exogyro comes in 16 different models.. These aircraft come with four doors, have up to five seats: a co-ax pusher propeller system and V tail a co-ax rotor system and have full integration of disaster management. Systems. ( upbeat music, ) [, Alex ] Number eight., [, Glen ], Developed by Carter Aviation Technologies.
The Cartercopter is a hybrid between an airplane and a rotorcraft. Slowed rotor or compound technology, combines the vertical take off and landing of a helicopter with the range efficiency and speed of an airplane. Slowing the rotor to about one third of the normal RPM reduces rotor, drag And translates into better fuel efficiency, a continuous hover capability and quiet operation.
Carter is now trying to get this jump takeoff aircraft to market and is focused on production planning, licensing the technology or forming a joint venture. ( upbeat music ) [ Alex ] Number seven. [ Glen ], The Rutan Voyager, is a twin engine twin boom single wing home-built aircraft that was made for long distance flight and includes 17 fuel tanks.. This is unique in the fact that it is constructed almost entirely of lightweight graphite, honeycomb composite materials.
Both engines are used for takeoff and climbing, and then the front engine turns off to save fuel. During flight., The Voyager was the first aircraft to fly non-stop around the world without refueling. ( upbeat music, ) [ Alex ] Number six., [ Glen ] Larger than most General Aviation aircraft. The Velocity XL, the flagship of the Velocity line, has the largest cabin of all four seat: kit, aircraft, 10 inches longer and five and a half inches wider. The XL is 47 and a half inches shoulder to shoulder. One inch, increased seat height for the pilot and copilot, and two inches increased on the rear seats.. The XL has a cruise speed of 200 knots and the recommended engine capacity for this single engined airplane is 260 to 310 horsepower. ( upbeat music, ) [ Alex ] Number five.
[ Glen ] Marketed by BJ Schramm in 1958 as a single seat, amateur-built helicopter, the Schramm Javelin is made of an aluminum body, shell, a tubular steel structure and powered by a Mercury, powerboat engine. Designed to be easy to fly. This had few components for quick and easy maintenance.. The helicopter first flew in 1965, then it was redesigned as the Scorpion and they claimed to make 250 of them using Schramm’s new company RotorWay Aircraft, Incorporated.
Schramm built the prototype Scorpion in 1966 and production of the kits started in 1968.. ( upbeat music, ) [, Alex ] Number four. [ Glen ], The Aventura Aero made for extended range and endurance as a cost, effective multi mission capability.. This is safe, comfortable and fun to fly.
Easy to operate and to learn these feature. A highly efficient four blade carbon fiber, propeller and detachable fuel tanks.. You can ride in comfort with the seat heating system and side by side, cockpit. ( upbeat music, ) [, Alex ] Number three.
[ Glen ] AeroflightX based near Munich, Germany unveiled its V600 prototype on April 10th at the Aero Friedrichshafen 2019 aviation trade show., The all Electric aircraft has two sets of wings: six propellors for lift a pusher propellor for forward flight and a tricycle landing gear.. The completed vehicle can carry three to five people and can make changes to meet EASA certification requirements. ( upbeat music, ) [, Alex ] Number two. [ Glen ] Built near Kindel Airfield near Eisenach, Germany, the Horten HX-2 premiered at the Aero 2019 in April..
This cost effective two seater is a light aircraft with no hull. The HX-2 flies faster and farther than comparable. Fuselage based airplanes because of its low drag and is suited for future integration of any new drive. Technology.
Horten plans call for an autonomous and multi-seated versions of the present prototype. ( upbeat music ) [ Alex ] Number one., [ Glen, ] Vision. Jet is a jet that is meant to be flown by the owner and does not require a professional pilot.. A revolution in flying. This fills the void between a lightweight jet and high performance, pistons. Wasting little time, Cirrus improved on the Collier Trophy winning Vision, Jet and unveiled the generation two SF50 with a new flight deck, a maximum altitude increase, Garmin prospective touch, improved high altitude performance and plenty of Cabin enhancements.
And the Vision Jet sets new standards in safety with the Cirrus airframe parachute system., ( upbeat music ).
