Hi Spoggi99, the Plane is on display at the "Flugwerft Schleißheim" near Munich. It's part of the "Deutsches Museum" www.deutsches-museum.de/flugwerft/sammlungen/senkrechtstarter/do-31/
Wenn du dich für solche Sachen interessierst, solltest du nach München in die Flugzeugwerft. Dort stehen alle 3 angesprochenen Flieger und noch viele viele mehr interesante deutsche und ausländische Flieger.
I worked at Hawker Siddeley’s Future Projects Office during this period. We were working towards the HS141 design, but needed a demonstrator. I was part of a team that worked with Dornier to develop this from the Do131. My work was on adding ejectors to those vertical pods, to reduce noise and increase thrust. They worked quite well, but time ran out.....
What a great time to have been in the British aircraft industry and with such a renowned company as HS. Your input and anecdotes would be most welcome in the many other videos about military and civil jet aircraft of this era.
The actual deadly blow to the Do-31 was the heat of the lift-engines: Dornier found it impossible to keep the plane from severely damaging the runway, making it unable to run more than an few handful of flights before an airfield was as much in need for repairs as if it were bombed.
Ooooof, I didn't think about that part. The video really skips over the negatives, huh? The intense heat and damage to the runway. Probably it also chugged jet fuel like three regular planes. I wonder if it could take off traditionally, using only the conventional engines? And would it be easier to make one today, with modern-day engines being probably lighter and smaller... Though it seems like it's a problem that doesn't really need fixing at the moment, piston-powered planes are somewhat back for short-term flights it seems to be
This is strictly untrue. The plane had the same engines as the Harrier, and this could even start and land on a aircraft carrier without causing damages. The program ended not because of technical reasons but because the Bundeswehr changed the procurement plans
Being German, those Engländers can keep their air superiority over southern England as long as we have superiority over England in every other field. We even invented tooth paste which is probably why it a question of English national pride not to use it. 😁
I saw these in the final season of The Man in the High Castle, but thought that they were science fiction. I didn't know that they really had been developed, and all the way back in the 60s!
You’d be amazed as to what the Germans cooked up. All of their projects transferred to the US during operation Paperclip. Much of what we used today is derived from them.
@@DerCharacter I agree. I believe the Reich in that universe won't stop innovating. Do you know that Reich colonizing the entire solar system before 1960 in the book?

Brilliant! Been hoping you would cover the Do31 for ages, such an interesting aircraft. I highly recommend visiting the Dornier Museum in Friedrichshafen. Friedrichshafen is a great place rich in aviation history, there is also a Zeppelin museum there worth a visit. That footage of the Do31 and the Harrier together at Paris in 1969 is amazing, never seen that before!
The Do32 prototype is actually still on display in Munich in the Flugzeugwerft. As are the other two VTOL aircraft developed in Germany at the time. It's really interesting! You should visit if you're curious.
Sorry to ask that, but are you crazy? Look what Airbus (more or less the successor to Dornier) is doing with the A400M, the Eurofighter or the NH90. A "new Do31" would be the next fiscal catastrophe. When you see all these problematic projects and what is wrong about that, I prefer that not to be done. In that regard I do fully understand why our German defense minister decided to go for the F-18 Jets, as they are proven to be good.

The Yak-38 was pretty marginal, though it had some cool features that the Harrier lacked. Neither was exceptional, but that they worked at all was quite influential.
Paris Airshow 1969 - I was there and saw the Do 31 in action. Also saw the first public display by Concorde. But the most exciting thing of the day was an incredible display by an RAF Lightning, after which everything else was a bit dull.
When my friend asked me why I'm watching something that's not related to what I'm studying, my only reason is the amazing quality of this video. The animation seems so realistic that if you're an aviation manufacturer, you actually want to make these aircrafts just because of this video.
One of the innovations of the German VTOL program was the first development of “fly by wire” to automatically handle the hover, transition to forward flight and back again. The Harrier was quite difficult to transition. The German program allowed both for transport aircraft as well as supersonic which the Harrier couldn’t do. Technically it wasn’t a failure. Germany came under pressure to buy US weapons to compensate for US troops in Germany.
Same with the G11 which excelled in every aspect and beat the competition but never've been adopted, since it's not using NATO standard ammunition. A few years later the technology has been licensed by an American company for the LSAT.
@@WilliamJones-Halibut-vq1fs to clarify, fly-by-wire technology was not invented by the Germans... it was a British invention, although a partly-electric system was used by an experimental Antonov in the late 30's.. The reason the Harrier didn't use it even though the technology existed in Britain, was because it wasn't deemed robust enough to cope with nuclear issues...
@@investorbloke The germans still are the only ones that build such an aircraft. And the germans were the only ones to build a part analog part digital flight computer, wich is ingenious. So in all honesty, stopp trying to take their credit, they deserve it.
German aviation designs were the most advanced ones during the IIWW. BTW, for sure you don´t know but the 2 nuclear bombs (Hiroshima & Nagasaki) were made by germans. Yes, you read germans. The first test of an american nuclear bomb was in 1946.

these graphics duuuuuuude i can’t even believe how smooth this episode is. wow. the best. even the lil’ sketch/drafting cutaways = pure gold 🤩 thanks for sharing these with the world.
My brother got all the cool GI Joe vehicles. I got my little ponies. I used to take his soliders and have them ride my ponies. They could just almost fit and I loved how those gijoe figures were so detailed- they all had so many joints. Knee elbow shoulder, and waist neck. They came with so many cool accessories like talking backpacks, cool helmets. And all I got were a few plastic horses. My ponies were solid hunks of jointless plastic. Although... I did like brushing their hair. Some of my ponies had actual hair, not just painted manes.
One of the prototypes was at the entrance of the "Deutsches Museum" in Munich - as a kid I was absolutly flashed by this unique airplane. Maybe this had a small portion in my decicion to become a mechanical engineer.
There's still one in die Deutsches Muzeum Verkehrzentrum, you can see a pic of it on the.... TripAdvisor google page.. I think? Anyways, its there, and so is a three engined seaplane =)
That aircraft for me is very exciting. I love the classic silver skin look and the spear out front that looks like something straight out of Flash Gordon ready to spear Ming the Merciless.
I could never understand cancelling a product that has a working prototype. Some could say it's a sunken cost fallacy but I don't think so. It was working, as demonstrated. It needed a little more money, but definitely a lot less than was already invested. It would've been one of only 2 VTOL jets in the world. It would've sold sooner or later, if not, you've got a product with tactical advantage that could've been improved with advancements in tech in future years which would've been much cheaper than developing a new plane.
I actually saw one of these in front of the entrance, when I visited the Dorniermuseum in Friedrichshafen ( I also watched a documentary about it in the museum cinema). I would recommend visiting it to everyone, when you are in the area.
i live in Friedrichshafen, the origin city of Dornier and saw the Do 31 E1. It is truely a beauty, but as many of Dorniers projects siffered from its own complexity.

The reason the Harrier didn't use it even though the technology existed in Britain, was because it wasn't deemed robust enough to cope with nuclear issues...
Complicated requirements needs complicated solutions.

The germans still are the only ones that build such an aircraft.
And the germans were the only ones to build a part analog part digital flight computer, wich is ingenious. So in all honesty, stopp trying to take their credit, they deserve it.
2:24 ya gadda love how the YAK-36 is just going “Bye have a great time!)😂

Up the amazing work.

I believe that CGI scenes of this aircraft were featured in the mini-series ’Man In The High Castle’
Really? Which episode? :)

“This was a plane that would revolutionize Germany’s air force.”
Oh, we’ve all heard this before. Both the revolution and the air force parts.
All us in aviation and other vehicle manufacturing all have
But mainly aviation and motoring
German aviation designs were the most advanced ones during the IIWW. BTW, for sure you don´t know but the 2 nuclear bombs (Hiroshima & Nagasaki) were made by germans. Yes, you read germans. The first test of an american nuclear bomb was in 1946.

I'm glad to see the engineers got the aircraft stability during take-off and landing right, that really is the big problem with VTOL.

I worked at Hawker Siddeley’s Future Projects Office during this period. We were working towards the HS141 design, but needed a demonstrator. I was part of a team that worked with Dornier to develop this from the Do131. My work was on adding ejectors to those vertical pods, to reduce noise and increase thrust. They worked quite well, but time ran out.....
these graphics duuuuuuude i can’t even believe how smooth this episode is. wow. the best.
even the lil’ sketch/drafting cutaways = pure gold 🤩 thanks for sharing these with the world.
Oh shit the 1940s Luftwaffe is back

The more I watch these things, the more I realize all those G.I. Joe and Cobra toys were based on actual concepts and prototypes.
Lol...I had a VSTOL 3 engine Cobra A-10...i think it was called the Rattler...if only.
My brother got all the cool GI Joe vehicles. I got my little ponies. I used to take his soliders and have them ride my ponies. They could just almost fit and I loved how those gijoe figures were so detailed- they all had so many joints. Knee elbow shoulder, and waist neck. They came with so many cool accessories like talking backpacks, cool helmets. And all I got were a few plastic horses. My ponies were solid hunks of jointless plastic. Although... I did like brushing their hair. Some of my ponies had actual hair, not just painted manes.

Seeing the Harrier and Do 31 performing together was really cool! I wish I'd been able to see it in person.
“Dassault Ballsack V” has a nice ring to it.
That's the comment I was looking for haha.
One of the prototypes was at the entrance of the "Deutsches Museum" in Munich - as a kid I was absolutly flashed by this unique airplane. Maybe this had a small portion in my decicion to become a mechanical engineer.
I loved that thing - did they fly it in?
There's still one in die Deutsches Muzeum Verkehrzentrum, you can see a pic of it on the.... TripAdvisor google page.. I think? Anyways, its there, and so is a three engined seaplane =)
There's one close to Munich in the Flugwerft Schließheim.
@@CHMichaelFrom what I read, yes- they flew it into the museum
4:40 the plane even has gamecube controller support

That aircraft for me is very exciting. I love the classic silver skin look and the spear out front that looks like something straight out of Flash Gordon ready to spear Ming the Merciless.
1:01 really nice that you even included the Autobahn and the typical German countryside! Nice detail!
I get a bit pissed off when youtube doesn't recommend Mustard's videos the moment they're uploaded
the deal breaker for most failed aircraft projects
"oops it's too heavy"

Community: MUSTARD.
If you want reliable VTOL transport, you can use Thunderbird 2 hahaha! Loved that show, brings back so many memories!
The Orginal DO31 is in front of the Aviation museum in Friedrichshafen (Next to the airport and the Zeplin Hangar)
Why not just?

I could never understand cancelling a product that has a working prototype. Some could say it's a sunken cost fallacy but I don't think so. It was working, as demonstrated. It needed a little more money, but definitely a lot less than was already invested. It would've been one of only 2 VTOL jets in the world. It would've sold sooner or later, if not, you've got a product with tactical advantage that could've been improved with advancements in tech in future years which would've been much cheaper than developing a new plane.

I actually saw one of these in front of the entrance, when I visited the Dorniermuseum in Friedrichshafen ( I also watched a documentary about it in the museum cinema). I would recommend visiting it to everyone, when you are in the area.
i live in Friedrichshafen, the origin city of Dornier and saw the Do 31 E1. It is truely a beauty, but as many of Dorniers projects siffered from its own complexity.
I feel like I should be paying to watch these videos, the quality is outstanding...

So true. I've been waiting all lockdown for this! Should have rationed it!
I dunno why, but seeing this really made me want to learn math even though it's hard
The most amazing thing about this aircaft is it truely worked.

"Gordon's Alive?!"

Damn, you guys are oldies.
It should be aptly named: ‘Mosquito’
Annoyingly loud, useless to society, and killers
This “needle” on the nose of the aircraft is an attribute of many experimental machines. In a series he would go without this "sting". )))
Really nice how you sneak all ads into the videos. Like a cliffhanger. BUT GREATEST QUALITY in military and aircraft videos. THANK you.
You can actually see this plane with your own eyes in the Flugwerft Schleißheim in Munich, Germany. Its very interesting 👍
One of these plane stands at my airport in a museum and i always wondered how they work, so thank you.
Great Video i already saw one do31
Then, the Osprey was made.
Even the Osprey took a while to perfect.
The osprey was also pretty fast wasn't it
PopinJay Junior still fast for a turboprop, but not as a jet.
It’s a compromise, for now
Javier Guerra yep, the computers had to catch up to the air frame to fly reliably. And by that I mean, not crash.
No, XC-142 unlike the Dornier actually was able to lift its designed weight, was nearly as fast, had vastly more range, but had gearbox issues. If only it was developed further the USA wouldn't have dumped idiot amounts of $$$ into the V22 Osprey which is SLOWER, Lifts FAR less, has A tiny fraction of the range, and costs FAR MORE MONEY. Stupid piece of garbage when we had superior tech in the 70's... Still makes me pissed off to this day.
