To the moon question. The sonic speed is dependent on the material in which the sound wave is traveling. And because in vacuum sound cant travel the sonic speed is zero at the moon (assuming the plane is not supossed to travel trough the moon). Therefore a still standing plane on the moon would count as moving at the speed of sound. Just one more thing. To get the plane to the moon it had to move at some point at that was most certainly faster than the speed of sound.

One of the most surprising facts about the X program as a whole is just how few accidents there were. The whole idea behind the X planes was to push different boundaries of flight. That every other flight didn't end in a crash is a testament to just how good those engineers were.
imagine being the first man to EVER pilot a super sonic plane, he must have been a god damn Rockstar in the science and aviation community at the time.
For those who actually knew what happened absolutely, but apart from the personnel at Edwards and higher ups, most found out later because of the Cold War
That's crazy to think about the sound barrier in this abstract manner of pilots hitting a invisible wall that shook the planes so violent and sucked into the death dive due to aerodynamics... And air resistance. Wow

You might ask, why the X1 resembles the Messerschmitt Me 163 so much. Looking like the unholy union of a space craft and a bullet with 4 rocket engines at the tail. Maybe because the first unofficial first super sonic flights have been achieved by a Me 163 pilot during test flights in 1941, which is also why the american developers made sure to get their hands on said aircraft's construction plans and the crew reports about strains on the body. But since this was a secret developement, there couldn't be official documents left. Especially since America had to be first, other "first flights" could never be official documents. None the less the X-Series deserves it's praise as the first aircrafts successfully built with breaking the sound barrier in mind (and not by accident during limit testing).
While the wing of the F-86 was eventually copied from the Me-262, the Bell XS-1 was designed as a scaled up .50 cal bullet, not after anything the Germans had.
Us Brits were working on the Miles M.52 after Miles were given the contract by our government in 1943. Strangely, just months before the first flight, the project was stopped and all data, including the successful transonic & supersonic (to Mach 1.38) 30% scale rocket powered aircraft dropped from a Mosquito, was passed to Bell aircraft in America. Bell then subsequently went on to fly the Bell x-1. This from the Wikipedia entry on the Miles M.52... "According to senior figures at Miles, the design and the research gained from the M.52 was shared with the American company Bell Aircraft "

My uncle worked on the X-51 waverider with Boeing. The X-51 was unmanned and hypersonic (5 times or greater the speed of sound or mach 5). It was cool to learn about the origins of the X program! I would be interested in learning about some of the hypersonic developments in more recent years. Here’s a video about the X-51: ruclips.net/video/FIbW8-Ow50I/видео.html
12:00 Elsewhere on RUclips you can see Scott cross field talk about the x2 and how it was never designed to go over Mach 3. It was considered a fair crack of the odds to try for a record and prestige. Lastly the x1 is a clone of the British miles m52. They had no idea before about the fully Moving tail.
Wow, that is wrong in so many ways it probably set a record. First off the X1 is hardly a "clone" of the Miles M52, I mean that thought right there goes to show that opposed to doing the research and learning from credible sources you learn from RUclips comments and then just repeat them. First off the X1 was not a clone of anything except the nose proportions being a clone of the .50 caliber bullet, that's even mentioned in this video. And despite the false narrative that the British invented the flying tail which comes from the cry babying rantings of an English test pilot who spent the rest of his life finger pointing simply because he was mad that it wasn't him who got to break the sound barrier the fact is the French invented the flying tail back in the 1920's, it was already old news in the aircraft industry well before the X1 or the Miles M52 was even a blank sheet of paper. And if you look into the history of research into breaking the sound barrier you'll find out that research had started in the US long before WW2 started, several universities working with NACA had already been working on it for some time when it was suspended due to the war, it was information from that research that was given to Bell Aviation as a starting point to design the X1. Furthermore the X1 was built from day one with provisions to be easily converted to a flying tail should their testing and research deem it necessary, they started out with a conventional tail because in the world of aircraft development you start with what you know and go from there, one step at a time. Because the structure inside the tail of the X1 was built with the provisions to convert it to a flying tail such as having a place to mount the pneumatic jackshaft that raises and lowers the tail already inside the structure it was easily converted to one without a major redesign of the structure and framework inside the tail, if not for the fact that it was designed to convert the tail to the flying type the X1 never would have broken the sound barrier until 1948, having to do that much redesigning would have pushed it into 1948.
"No airplane can take off on the moon." Moments after talking about rocket powered airplanes. In theory the X-1 could take off on the moon, it would just have zero control since while it did not need air to provide thrust, it did need atmosphere for its control surfaces to function. Also to say the X-1's engine could not be throttled is half of the truth. It could turn each chamber on and off independently. So there is no smooth spectrum of throttling, but there are ways of achieving 25% 50% 75% and 100% of the total thrust.
Doesn't matter if an airplane can or cannot take off on the moon, there is no atmosphere which would making breaking the sound barrier impossible. Also, the X-1 itself was incapable of taking off and was dropped from the B-52 after reaching operating altitude.
@@daexion Sorry but you are missing the forest for the trees here. The video had just talked about engines *that do not need atmospheric oxygen* and then goes on to talk about how the lack of an atmosphere (yes yes trace gasses) means you cannot take off.

What does this have to do with anything I said? Besides that, do you have math to back up what you are implying here? That being, on the moon you would also need to air launch an X-1. Again not that this has anything at all to do with the point I was making, but it is an interesting question given the differences between Earth and Luna.
@@Frankie5Angels150 Please reread what I said. You obviously misunderstood what I said as well as missed the point. (not to mention that the X-1 is being used as an example as much as it is being used in and of itself)

On 15NOV67 an X-15 flown by Michael Adams went out of control. Adams was not able to regain control, and the plane broke up in flight. Adams was killed. X-15 pilot Joe Engle went to NASA and flew the Space Shuttle.
Not quite true, he did regain control after a bit but ended up upside down at supersonic, and his dampers locked; refusing to let him pull out of the dive so the plane began oscillating (which was far beyond the limits and the plane broke up) incredible that he pulled out of a Mach 5 spin tho
The v2 German rocket broke the sound barrier and then some before the x planes did it. In fact the X1 was designed like a bullet because bullets broke the sound barrier all the time. The v2 also looked like a bullet.
I knew you were a snarkass, Not What You Think, but you really outdid yourself on this one. And frankly, though interesting, the X-plane story really needed it.
8:11 Screw that. With enough thrust, even a brick can fly. Don't we all know that already? 15:26 Cpt. Pete "Maverick" Mitchell entered the chat. (And anyone who did that in MSFS, which is a shockingly great experience BTW especially in VR) :D 18:13 Nice BTW :)
About the. Ejection. Capsule on the X-2 (XS-2), it was known, due to rocket sled tests (which often had the USAF doctor who was examining the volunteers who rode the sled, often going at the higher speed runs himself since he didn't feel that it was right to have someone take risks that he himself didn't!) they realized a man would get injured, perhaps critically at Supersonic Speeds and that he (back then all test pilots in the US were men) would need a lot of O2 to survive for the amount of time it would take for him to get down to around 14,000 feet (~4,267m) were he could start breathing and they actually preferred 10,000 feet (~3,048m) before they wanted him to start breathing the surrounding air..... The Capsule ejection .vs. seat ejection solved both problems!
even if we lifted the P-38, it is impossible for any object to fly with the speed of sound with no atmosphere, since sound is particles moving at a certain speed wich can change with conditions such as density or what is the atmosphere made out of, with no particles there is no sound and therefore no speed of sound
For the most part, all sponsors give you a bunch of bullet points and some directions on what not to say. For example they say “Include a specific example from one of the courses” or “do not use profanity”. Then the creators would write a script based on those talking points and guidelines and try to integrate it into the main script of the video.
I LOVE the way you took that ad and made it a necessary part of the video. That's one of the most intelligent advertising ideas I've ever seen! I did however know that no aircraft can fly on the moon because of the super thin atmosphere.
My two cents on the Moon question before I get to the end of the video. I do not think it could achieve super Sonic speeds on the moon. Not really sure why he mentioned gravity but I do not think gravity is as relevant. The moon has lower air density yes. But based on my understanding, going super Sonic is breaking the sound barrier as in breaking through the walls of compressed air that builds up around the aircraft. Now, perhaps it could go faster compared to earth and by earth speed standards "go super Sonic". But that's even if there's enough air to provide stable flight.
I have a giant aircraft carrier toy, the two back thing ww2 bomber, a bunch of fighters and bombers, a b-2 stealth bomber, and a group of 14 b-29 super fortress’s. I have a bunch of cruisers a sub with no way for me to use, and an infantry devision with like 1000-2000 soldiers

Cannon balls broke the sound barrier hundreds of years before that. What’s your point. We’re talking controlled level flight. Not a ballistic platform
2:23 That diagram is wrong. The supersonic flow starts further back, and that is what immobilizes the control surfaces.

Damn this man knows how to keep your attention, these jokes are amazingly well put
Awesome video 👌.please upload more videos about other X planes 🙏
16:45 What? Michael J. Adams was killed when his X-15 disintegrated mid-flight. How could you miss this and say, none of the accidents were fatal?
My two cents on the Moon question before I get to the end of the video. I do not think it could achieve super Sonic speeds on the moon. Not really sure why he mentioned gravity but I do not think gravity is as relevant. The moon has lower air density yes. But based on my understanding, going super Sonic is breaking the sound barrier as in breaking through the walls of compressed air that builds up around the aircraft. Now, perhaps it could go faster compared to earth and by earth speed standards "go super Sonic". But that's even if there's enough air to provide stable flight.
2 badass people
Chuck Yaeger and Erin Yaeger
I would also like to say that the lack of air would make it quite hard to keep the combustion engine working in space
This video was so good!
love this channel
A very useful video, you help me lerned alot of things
Lol @ underhand jab to US Navy. This channel is one of the best on YT.
Thanks for x Planeing
You deserve all these subscribers.
I gotta be honest, the Slavic accent makes me nervous (😉), but these videos are top notch! Please keep up the good work!
Dude you should be hired by National Geographic
I believe he should stay independent as to stay creative.
My heart stopped after the story about the two men falling into Lake Ontario.
The ironic joke about imperial measurement system is damn good )
Love these vids
Just want to tell yoy that i like your longer videos
What he is talking about in 1:45 is basically when the Mach cone is a giant brick wall that blocks off airflow to the ailerons
13:34 thanks for clarifying
I feel like when the sound barrier was broken, the earth got devirginized.
13:42 best way to explain something
13:32 ohh ok i understand now you had me confused at first.
i like that measurement system^^
So that’s why lucio says “let’s break it down” when he ults
great episode, love your videos
I have a giant aircraft carrier toy, the two back thing ww2 bomber, a bunch of fighters and bombers, a b-2 stealth bomber, and a group of 14 b-29 super fortress’s. I have a bunch of cruisers a sub with no way for me to use, and an infantry devision with like 1000-2000 soldiers
Jeager is such a perfect name of a pilot
That cartoon P 38 lightning is so cursed
I kinda liked it lol
The bell x1 was also based on British designs given to the Americans
Is that Cone of Arc’s intro I hear?
14:13 Wendover productions is so well known by people who make videos about planes that he even gets mentioned in videos that aren’t his
NACA, the predecessor to NASA... amazing
Dude lamen terms at the 14 minute mark had me cracking up
FYI Is the one aircraft that made a high speed turn and lost control. Is that problem is called mach tuck.
