I love how everyone always forgets that the Rolls Royce Trent was originally a turboprop Derwent
Flown on a Meteor. M.
Rolls Royce did suoerb work on turboprops. The Dart, another WW2 design, didn't go out of production until the 1980s over 40 years later.
@@MatthewDoye Unlike the original Trent, the Dart was designed specifically from the start to be a real turboprop engine. And it became the first actually practical and realiable turboprop, too.
Ed,
It's good to see the Hungarians getting some long-due credit.
I think you've posted videos of some other aircraft made by Hungary. They were pretty good - considering
The Cs-1 engine (where the dual letters denote a single sound similar to the "tch" in the English catch, fetch, match words) full name mean boat-engine, thus helping it to remain secret from the German "allies".
Yes, "Cs" stands for "Csónak", which literally means "boat".
A little more than fifteen years later a very similar airplane took to the sky, the North American Rockwell OV-10 Bronco.
Size, weight and speed were nearly the same. The engines had similar power, projected power in the RMI-1's case.
The missions had some overlap. Both had the secondary mission of ground attack.
Ed, can you do the Westland Wyvern? There is next to no information on this aircraft, and it would be unreal to see it on this channel!
Lol I'm planning that next!
@@EdNashsMilitaryMatters great work Ed, I will be waiting eagerly for it. Thanks from Brisbane Australia!
Great video but you're missing a trick: there is one WW2 novel aero-engine project that gazzumps the CS-1, the JUNKERS 4,000Hp aero steam-engine project (complete with aerial boiler!) intended to power a bomber. How about doing a video on it? I'd be most interested to see what you uncover.
LOL I think that idea was the guys at Junkers hitting the Benzedrine too hard. As far as I am aware it was always a very theoretical idea, but thanks for pointing it out, I might have a deeper dig into it.
@@EdNashsMilitaryMatters On the contrary! Pictures of the experimental turbine do exist, experimental testing undertaken .....break out the shovel, start digging......
I've been an aviation enthusiast since late 70s... and never ever heard of the Varga!
Thanks again Ed.
There is actually a park near Budapest dedicated to Jendrassik. I've been there. It's called Jendrassik Park.
I'll leave now...
2:48 How did they plan to get it out of that hangar?
I knew something about KÁLMÁN KANDÓ who was a RAILROAD ENGINEER . But about hungarian turboprop and his engeneer nothing from nothing. Great video
You've done it again, Ed.
I knew absolutely nothing about this aircrraft.
Thank you.

Great video, Ed...👍
How cool is that
Thanks as usual Ed
I llook very forward to your broadcast they are very intersting and informative ty Ed.
Good job great grandpa proud of you
a very great and interesting video and aircraft Mr.Ed.have a good one Mr.
A new video from Ed Nash turns a good morning into a great morning! :)
At one time, years ago, there was a small recreational aircraft made by Varga, called the Kachina. It didn't sell all that well -- but it was a really nice flying bird.
Love yer stuff; it's my favorite. And now U R poking around the Balkans, the great mysteryland 4 WW2 aviation affairs. So now i am hoping 4 a vid on the Ikarus 14 (i may have the designation wrong); she was a twin crew trainer/light transport w/ a very Mosquito-like cockpit canopy & scaled-down Lancaster compound tail endplates, could B one beauty of a rabbithole in Tito's time
English please.
@@kiereluurs1243English fine, maybe you're stupid?
Well, I'd never heard of this aircraft, nor of its engine, so thank you indeed. A. A. Griffith, who figures as a villain in some versions of the Whittle legend, favoured an axial flow turboprop in the late 1920s and early 1930s: do we know if Jendrassik knew of his work, or was it two people independently coming up with the same configuration?
The story has one familiar element: "Our revolutionary home-grown idea is running into problems. Let's just get the established, low risk alternative from our new allies. What could go wrong?"
The Japanese were building a HUGE turboprop flying boat at the end of the war. It was about a mile wide (only a slight exaggeration, honest!)
whats the name?

I think that a bigger What If is the Coanda 1910 Jet plane... 🙂
It was too basic to work.
you keep finding them.
I'll keep watching them.
That was fascinating, for a bunch of reasons, but not for the first time, this edition has got me wondering: Where the heck do you find all these ‘What If’ types, Ed?Are you just setting us all up for one massive April Fool joke in a year’s time?
Lol missed this years April's fools alas. Was out and about.
I really like this show. 😊
*Hungary mentioned*
*pours a glass of Pálinka for each viewer*
This video has thrown some spanner’s 🔧 into my limited knowledge of jet power whether be turbo-jet or turbo-prop, I always thought that Sir Frank Whittle and the German aviation industry pioneered all jet engines, and yet here we are today and I learn that Hungary was a major contributor to the jet engine development, if those original engines had been able to develop 1000hp then the whole world might have been a completely different place with the Nazis being allies of Hungary and the huge military industrial complex that they had we, the Western military allies could have faced jet powered aircraft much earlier and our own aircraft completely ineffective against them, makes you think about the if’s but’s and and’s scenarios.
So he was bench testing his engine about the same time Whittle was testing his and von Ohain testing his concept engine?
Strapping a new engine to a new airframe has enough problems. But strapping a new unproven type of engine to a new airframe really ups the difficulty levels.
Which was why the Me262 first flew as a three engined aircraft with a piston engine in the nose…
Please do A video on the Textron Scorpion
Great story, I confess to knowing nothing about the Hungarian aero industry. So, even by then it was hard for small countries to make complicated systems. "What if" Germany had run with it early instead of rockets? Now we'll never know.
I wonder how different things would have looked has Jendrassik had some help from for example von Ohain and Heinkel.
I wonder, would they have gotten what they need if they had licensed the FW-187 Falke?
Yay. Hungary mentioned.
Thanks Ed. Another "never to be " . Do you research this yourself now Ed or do you still outsource ? I really have little knowledge of most of the types you present . Thanks Ed
Never outsourced the scripts, though obviously my research is always based on that of others as reference.
How do you find these?
🤫
Surely lower power (and lighter) piston engines could of been found?
points for effort 🤷♂🤷♂
Well at least the Hungarian's are good at making sausages 😁. It was a nice try though. Made in Hungary 1956 born in the USA 1957.
Funny how this gem was designed pre-war but nothing came out until mid war. Being patriotic is one thing but if it takes that long, you might as well buy off the shelf from your major partner, as they ended up doing...
To many pockets from designer to beneficiary most probably...
Edge of the Balkans.
Hungary wanted to buy military tech before WW2, but as a country on the loosing side of WW1, so the neighbours and the western powers were not really an option. The Germans were busy arming themselves, selling only a few trucks, tractors and second line aircraft. Italy and Sweeden were the only partners able and willing to sell anything to the Hungarians. So it was not really patriotism, more like necessity to go for the home brew designs.
An "almost" aircraft. A little more maturity on the engine development would have seen that technology first to fly.
Got some Hungarian in me, makes me more proud.
The militarized police state has become the standing army the founders warned about
Hungary has a much under rated history for technical excellence in most military equipments developments - beyond aircraft there was the excellent Casba Armoured Car and the 44.M Buzoganyveto rocket which was an Anti-tank missile system. Further they also indirectly aided the allies because of the revolutionary turmoil of the state after WW1 - similar to that of USSR causing many people to flee for safer countries - for example Straussler who invented the DD tank of Normandy landing infamy, was originally Hungarian.
