Just wow. The Curtiss-Wright XP-55 Ascender was a 1943 prototype fighter that aimed for superior performance but was plagued by dangerous stall characteristics-2 of 3 prototypes crashed during testing. Program was canceled in 1945. The survivor is on display at the Air Zoo.👀

Filmed here in 1936: Prototype Fi 156 on a demo in... the streets of Berlin. The type displayed excellent STOL characteristics. Its stall speed was 31 mph! It was so good that it was replaced by helicopters!

Quadcopter with gun mount, you say?👀 The Curtiss-Wright VZ-7, "Flying Jeep" was a 1950s U.S. Army experimental VTOL quadrotor, aka the Flying Jeep. Two prototypes flew in 1958; easy to handle but didn't meet specs, program ended in 1960s.

He was booked on a on a plane that crashed in 1971. The only survivor of the plane that disintegrated in the air was a 17 year old girl that survived the drop in a mini skirt and high heels surviving in the jungle alone for 12 days. This is his story…

Footage from 1943 showing testing of the British Highball bouncing bomb at Reculver in Kent and a near hit on the cameraman. Highball was a rounded version of the damn buster bombs designed by Barnes Wallis to target ships. A deadly crash during testing ended project.👀

Breaking This was a prototype of the Xiaomi 17 Air that was eventually canceled. It featured a 6.59-inch display and an ultra-thin 5.5 mm body. It actually looked quite good, but unfortunately the project was dropped. As everyone can see, the iPhone Air hasn’t been a strong seller either. Right now, every brand is taking a wait-and-see approach to the future of the “Air” category. Perhaps at the right moment, they will all resume making Air models.

The world’s only supersonic seaplane, the Convair F2Y Sea Dart, seen skipping across the water as test pilot B.J. Long wrestled it into the air. It was designed for the United States Navy as a carrier-independent fighter using retractable hydro-skis, the program was plagued by violent vibration, underpowered engines, and difficult water takeoffs. Following the fatal 1954 breakup of a prototype flown by Charles E. Richbourg, the project was ultimately cancelled in 1957. 📹: Xeelee1123

Prototype Do 335 testing in 1943. This was one of (many) good ideas by the Germans late in WW2, combining benefits of two engines into a much sleeker airframe. Not only it was agile, but it was also very fast, reaching nearly 500 mph in level flight.

The Helldivers Sordid Past. The Curtiss XSB2C-1 Helldiver prototype had early issues with its Wright R-2600 Twin Cyclone engine and three-bladed propeller, structural weaknesses, poor handling, directional instability, and bad stall characteristics. In 1939, MIT wind tunnel tests on a model revealed controllability problems from its small vertical tail; Professor Otto C. Koppen reportedly said, "if they build more than one of these, they are crazy." The prototype crashed Feb 1941 (rebuilt), destroyed Dec 1941 in dive tests. The U.S. Navy required 880 modifications to the SB2C design before acceptance, delaying its combat debut until November 11, 1943.👀

The Lockheed XF-90 was a 1940s USAF long-range penetration fighter prototype that was the first USAF jet to have afterburners and first Lockheed jet to fly supersonic(in a dive). It had swept wings and an unusual adjustable vertical stabilizer that slid fore/aft . The first prototype lacked afterburners and was so underpowered it needed RATO rockets to takeoff. Influenced the F-104, but placed 2nd to the XF-88 Voodoo, partly because the design proved to be underpowered. The 2nd prototype survived 3 atomic blasts and is on display at the NMUSAF in Dayton, Ohio or what is left of it.👀 Bonus Fact (for sticking around): Starred in Blackhawk DC comics (50's-64).

Two US fighter jets collided mid-air during a public air show at a US air force base in Idaho in front of spectators. The collision unfolded during a routine display flight, where pilots were forced to eject. The jets fell toward the airfield, exploding on impact as emergency services responded and the air show was immediately halted. All four crew members reportedly survived after ejecting from the jets. Authorities have launched an investigation into how the fighter jets came into contact during the controlled performance.

The end of the Japanese Rocket Fighter July 7 1945 - a prototype Mitsubishi J8M1 crashes in Nagoya (Japan). Pilot Lt. Cdr. Toyohiko Inuzuka dies. J8M1 was a derivative of the German Me163 rocket fighter, on its 1st powered flight after trials as a glider. The engine failed, plane hit a building attempting an emergency landing. After this accident, none of the remaining J8M1s flew before the Japanese capitulation in August. One of only two surviving J8M´s made its way to the US and is on display at the Planes of Fame museum. Video was produced by Youtube user “Geschichte aus Metall”, it is an extract from “Sie flogen nie – Japans geheimste Kriegsflugzeuge” on Youtube, which shows this and other Japanese fighter prototypes from WW2 – go there and drop them a like and subscribe.

U.S. Navy F-35 Fighter Crashes in California, Pilot Ejects A $100 million U.S. Navy F-35 fighter crashed in California. The pilot ejected safely. The incident occurred near the Naval Air Station Lemoore in the central part of the state. The fifth-generation fighter jet was assigned to a squadron responsible for training pilots and other flight crew members. The crashed aircraft was an F-35C, designed for takeoff and landing on aircraft carriers. Its value is estimated at $100 million, according to CNN. The other variants — A and B — are used by the Air Force and the Marine Corps, respectively. The California crash is the second F-35 crash this year. In January, an F-35A crashed during a training flight in Alaska. The pilot also ejected.
