Oct 1,1956 at Heathrow Airport an Avro Vulcan B.1 XA897 crashed while attempting to land in poor weather. The captain and co-pilot ejected safely-the crew went down with the plane and all 4 died. They were too low to egress. This footage shows testing of the crew escape hatch. 🫡

What's a little creepy and cool at the same time? The tail gun on a B-58 Hustler which is a 6-barrel 20-mm rotary cannon with a max rate of 4k rounds/min mounted on an articulating cone consisting of spring loaded tapered aluminum rings...all of that to say, weird looking. 👀😎

The FICON (Fighter Conveyor) was a USAF program conducted in the 1950s to test the feasibility of a B-36 bomber carrying an F-84 parasite jet in its bomb bay. The plan was for the fighter to be released near target to deliver a tactical nuclear bomb and return to mothership.👀

Horrific footage of an Avro Vulcan Prototype crashing as it's wing disintegrates during air show at RAF Syerston on Sept. 20, '58. Primary cause was structural failure but it was determined the pilots maneuvers exceeded prototype limits. 4 crew and 3 on the ground were killed.👀

The US Navy ASM-N-2 "Bat" was a radar-guided glide bomb with a 1,000-lb warhead. Development began in 1941 and it saw combat in Apr 1945. It sank or damaged several Japanese ships, though land targets were limited by radar clutter. It was primarily carried by PB4Y-2's but other aircraft including the F4U Corsair's(seen in this '46 footage) were configured to use it.🫡

So many interesting designs out there. Born from a 1928 fatal airliner crash, the Blériot 125 (1931 prototype) aimed for safety with twin passenger fuselages and push-pull engines. Radical design drew buzz but poor stability led to scrapping in 1934; just one built.👀

Hidden deep in the bowels of the National Archives, crash footage of the 2nd F-14A prototype flight that occurred during approach into Calverton due to hydraulic failure (hydraulic tube rupture). Oh, with inflight audio. The pilot almost said "Hold my beer".👀

In 1964, a B-52H hit an 81mph gust of turbulence ripping off most of its vertical tail while over NM's Sangre de Cristo Mtns during a test flight - testing effects of turbulence. Crew used diff thrust, airbrakes & fuel shifts to fly 6hrs & land safely at Blytheville AFB, AR.🫡

In 1929 Detroit Aircraft built the first and only metal-skinned airship with the help of the Hill automatic riveting machine - "sewing" 3.5mil rivets into the hull. Made of thin sheets of Alclad, it completed 752 flights before being scrapped in 1941 due to cost concerns.👀

Had no idea that a Bone bath was a real thing. Probably washing the filth of the unworthy non-bone aircraft flying around him. 😎

Concorde 002 icing trials. In the 1970s, engineers used a modified Canberra bomber from Boscombe Down as an airborne "icing tanker" to test Concorde prototype 002's deicing systems-spraying water ahead to artificially create ice clouds. One trial also hit a lightning strike.👀

From the Jetsons period: The Horton V-16 Wingless Aircraft from the early 50's was actually a lifting-body design that achieved flight to 1,000 feet- thanks to ground effect. Despite early flight success, the program halted due to legal disputes with partner Howard Hughes.👀

In 1950, the USAF tested a wingtip coupling system allowing a B-29 bomber to tow two F-84 fighters with minimal range loss, enabling long-range escort over targets. Over 15 flights and 90 couplings proved feasibility, however the program ended after a fatal crash in 1953.🫡

In 1946 the British loaned the French Navy an aircraft carrier, Arromanches, and a key aspect of its operations was the use of surplus U.S. Hellcats and Helldivers. This is HD colored footage of the ship in 1949, during the Indochina war (a precursor to the Vietnam War).🫡
