1910 Curtiss Hudson Flier Replica Flight
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 сен 2024
- The Glenn Curtiss Museum in Hammonsport, NY built a replica of the 1910 Hudson Flier (aka Albany Flier). Although not well known today, the plane is quite significant in aviation history. It held the record for long distance flight by flying 150 miles from Albany to New York City in May of 1910 to win a prize put up by Joseph Pulitzer. (The Wrights declined to attempted the flight.) It was also the first plane to take off from a ship, thus marking the start of Naval aviation.
Jim Poel pilot of this plane should be recognized as man with great courage to help build and test this plane. His death resulted from a crash while testing this airplane. Jim was a very good pilot checked out in multi-engine passenger jets. The cause was never made public, we miss him. Don Kaake
It takes leather ballsto fly this old girl.
@Phil M I read a few obituaries/posts and some mentioned an engine failure shortly after takeoff. Not surprising, considering the engines were very prone to failure on most planes of that era (before the radial engine was adopted).
@Phil M 🔴 What Is Islam?
🔴 Islam is not just another religion.
🔵 It is the same message preached by Moses, Jesus and Abraham.
🔴 Islam literally means ‘submission to God’ and it teaches us to have a direct relationship with God.
🔵 It reminds us that since God created us, no one should be worshipped except God alone.
🔴 It also teaches that God is nothing like a human being or like anything that we can imagine.
🌍 The concept of God is summarized in the Quran as:
📖 { “Say, He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He does not give birth, nor was He born, and there is nothing like Him.”} (Quran 112:1-4) 📚
🔴 Becoming a Muslim is not turning your back to Jesus.
🔵 Rather it’s going back to the original teachings of Jesus and obeying him.

This does it! Glenn Curtiss Museum in Hammondsport is now on my bucket list!
He worked hard and did exhausting work for humanity. His service to humanity is great. We appreciate it, Curtis. May God rest your soul in heaven. Great person Curtis.❤
Visited the Museum 46 years ago, the old one. Could not believe the high quality of Glenns early engines. His Motorcycles would look gorgeous to those made today. I wondered how he did it since he had to cast and make everything as no order catalogs like today. The genius of this man stunned me.
His trip down the Hudson was almost his last as he hit terrible turbulence equal in every way to Lindbergs Atlantic crossing if you consider the time.
well done, im impressed you took her up out of the ground effect. Brave flying
The first pilots of these planes were awed at the astonishing speed of 50 mph.
That was way cool thank you for sharing. Most impressive!!
The pioneers of aviation !
Vintage planes will be flying into my tiny town in 8 days. Can't wait!!!!
Great video
We just visited the museum 2weeks ago. Great video!
Thinking of building a Bloop ultralight. Probably the closest I'll come to being able to fly one of these early aircraft. Beautiful restoration.
The Wrights had the patent on wing warping for roll.
Curtis got around that one by inventing the aileron.
Dorothy Gale
Not quite true. The aileron had been around for quite some time. The US Patent office should never have granted the Wright's a patent that covered all forms of wing alterations for roll control. It is true that Curtiss used ailerons to stay clear of the Wright's patent but the USPTO still felt that he infringed. That's why the ailerons are separate from the wing on this plane.
THATS A LIE...CURTIS GOT SUED FOR TRYING TO SAY THAT HIS LITTLE WING WAS NOT THE SAME THING AS THE WRIGHTS AILERON.......3 TIMES
True, the Wright’s patented design which they hadn’t even invented. The patent was so vague all aircraft would have paid royalties. That all ended once ww1 started.
all patents were given free to humanity by Santos Dumont, because he was the creator of all this, the brothers didn't create anything, they just wanted to patent and it's funny that 3 years after Santos Dumont flew in front of everyone in Paris, he comes to show something that had already been invented
Nicely done, gentleman. Nice to hear the comments about the flying characteristics of the Hudson Flier. Would love to see more on the building of the engine as well as the aircraft itself.
This doesn't look like the Wright Brothers Flyer!
It isn't!! It is The Curtiss Hudson Flier replica.
My Great Uncle owned one of these. I have the pictures before and after the crash. They also removed the front aileron or whatever it was called.
@Jesse LinkJust the one, as far as I know. I think two or three guys owned it together. They had a leather coupon that gave them access to an airfield for the 1912 Season ( Hempstead Plains Aviation Field , Near Clinton Road Station, Garden City, L.I.) that my father carried it in his wallet for luck when he was part of an aircrew in WW2.
interesting... very similar to the Wright's military flyer. I thought by 1910 Curtiss had moved the canard to the rear, no?
Nice little blue and white Seabee in the hangar.
Wow, well done!
Bamboo. Who would have ever thought. The carbon fiber of its day.
I like the sound of that engine
Beautiful idle. Almost dragster like.
The seat belt in this thing is just a formality right?
Very cool video.
Nice I always loved this plane, but I love all planes.
Good job. See you at the museum
Is there any follow up to the awful accident ? cannot find any information on what happened,mention of Jims hospitalisationl injuries but not of his death,how tragic.
If I remember right, I heard he only broke his arm, and survived the crash.
Flew a darn sight better than the Wrights replica !!!
So cool!!
Esse tbm tem um motor de 12 HP como o primeiro flier?
The propeller is rotating to the left looking from the back as a pusher,however the trailing edge is leading forwards ? what is going on there ?
Hehe. No, that's the leading edge. I know it looks odd but pusher props just look like their are backwards. Note the metal guards. They are on the leading edge.
Yes I can see it now you mention it,you have to look at it tractoring from the front of the aircraft with the slipstream being drawn from the front,thank you for the explanation.
Keep your F-35 and give me this plane!
Esse avião ✈ tinha cinto de segurança?
good idea
All i got to say is Brillant
Why do you have to manually wind the propeller to start it?
That is an original OX5 engine that was 80 years old but of course rebuilt. Engines back then did not have starters. The first thing that had to be done was to pull the prop over several times to get fuel into the cylinders with the ignition off. Then the ignition was turned on and the prop pulled to start the engine.
@@RDJunc Is that the same thing they did on old cars like Model T's when they turn the crank on the front to start it?
@@Melissa0774 Exactly
To wind up the really big rubber-bands inside the engine.
Does it have a reproduction of the original engine,or is it a rebuild of the original?
It had an original OX-5 Curtiss engine. It was completely rebuilt by the museum for this plane.
looks like something from Gilligans island !
It looked extremely sensitive in pitch and the pilot mentioned that after the flight was over. Really sorry to hear he was killed flying this plane, I believe I remember hearing of it at the time, its really risky to fly the pioneering designs, they still had a lot to figure out in the way of aerodynamics.
Jim had many many hours flying these sorts of planes with the museum and although sensitive in pitch, not unreasonably so. To be accurate, Jim was injured in the crash, not fatally. (It was a very hard landing in a nearby corn field.) He died a year or so later from a heart attack while in Florida.
Thanks for the clarification.
Awesome
Sounds like a Harley Davidson
All rights charch structure
damn faa
pisses me off that planes have to have those big ugly letters on the side
*"EXPERIMENTAL"*
Historique
I hope His family took out life insurance on his ass.
"It flies as delightful as it looks!" (terrible)
Nem voa! Haha
Curtiss would make the USA aviation to develop way faster, if the Wright brothers were not slowing the aviation down in justice courts. 🤦♂️
The wrights deserve All Credit for any and all aviation from the 1900,s forward period-the invented propellers and a fucking wind tunnel for testing for christ's sake-Wake up!##$%^&*(
@@zeke2566 Totally wrong. Besides, they just slowed down the aviation development in USA. You know it, but just do not admit. 🙂
