FLYING SAUCER
Aviation designers in Russia are developing the world's first passenger carrying flying saucer. The aircraft is expected to revolutionise many concepts of aerodynamics. Flightline has footage of prototypes of the saucer being tested. It's hoped that the final full-scale model will be able to carry some two thousand passengers.

Way ahead of their time
That is a far cry from being a flying saucer.
Def not a saucer, it needs anti gravity
This was a long time ago. Who knows what they’re capable of now?
@@user-wx4nv8xr3d At best it would be a porta john shaped like a flying saucer.
these are poor soviets that need funding, and this is from like the 90’s, just imagine what usa or china has now
@@MarketMiker All of this is about humans pretending to have flying saucers like the extraterrestrials flying saucers. It won't happen because the materials needed are not from this planet earth. Technology millions of years advanced then what humans have. That is what is important to know. It's not a game.
Very impressive
1996, they've probably not done much. It takes years to design and build such a revolutionary aircraft.
I'm sure it was a scam...
+ Russia is not ussr
Again Racism… but this aircraft has actual potential as air taxi in small villages maybe on the far-east of Russia and island countries.
Amazing 👽
German used alien technology ❎️

i want this thing back
Thunderbird 2, anyone?!
THUNDERBIRD 2
I have so maaaaany.
They problay have the gravity drives now like America
cute turtle
Hm
"If it looks good, it'll fly good" is a refuge for mediocrity and ignorance.
This model flies, and does pretty well.
See also videos of the modern Australian Rowe UFO light plane.
The Arup S-2 from the '30s, (see the "Flying heel-lift" youtube)
the Nemeth "Parachute plane" of the '30s, the Eshelman "flying flounder" of the '40s.
All circular or very-low aspect-ratio, all notably quick on little power, all super-STOL. All also ignored by buyers or makers, though they did well.
Also the Horton "Wingless" of the '50s which also flew well through a long test series before being killed by Hughes. Very much like this, though without VTOL jets or amphibious ability.
We hear the obligatory red herring "If they were so good, why isn't anybody flying them now?"
If this EKIP lifting fuselage makes you scratch your head, those listed above will make your head explode.
Germans already tried that in the 40’s
Sack AS-6. Most likely based on the 1930s ample extraordinary experiences of the Arup planes from Indiana (See the "flying heel-lift" youtube)
See also the 1930s Nemeth "parachute plane" which also did very well, and probably informed Arthur Sack.
See the modern Rowe "UFO' light plane
They gave up on this year's a go they must of started up again
What? I guess a year a go is a typo. And what does must of mean? You mean They must HAVE started up again?
Flying turtle 🐢
Yes sir
Makes me think of tribal people having a cargo cult and trying to make planes out of wood bits so the gods come back. XD
Or of a Neandertal trying to make a smartphone by banging rocks together after one from our time fell from the sky before him. For some reason.

Че вы к нашему ЭКИП прикопались?
Call it a flying turtle. It's nothing like a flying saucer.
Hhhhhhhhh
Watching the shots of it fly, there's no way I'd ever want to ride on it.
Yeah, because flying saucers do not exists and never ever will.
Looks incredibly unstable and difficult to fly.
Too many problems.
Time for a redesign.
Do they need help?
That is Göring’s plane
Yeah this doesnt make any sense at all. Over $1 billion usd on it? Doubt that. It clearly cant get off the runway very far and the only footage in the air showed it flipping over and falling. They showed normal turbine engines being worked on so it doesnt use a new type of propulsion. So its a terrible design using regular engines to do nothing.... and 14grams of fuel vs 40grams makes no sense given it uses the same type of engine. Clearly it was some kind of scam as its decades later and we still dont have giant russia saucers that can "carry 2000 people" lol
Why is nobody investing?
Lol
พูดจริงมันขาดปีกหน้ารูปทรงมุมอะไรตัวVมันจะกดหน้าตรงแน่นอนถ้าติดตั้งมันเข้าไป
Looks like a Sting Ray.
Underrated
It's a massive shame nothing came of this.
Hovercraft
Magnus effect aircraft and unstable at that...
Why no flying saucer now a days
Is this some kind of joke? Seriously... This thing is an insult to any thinking man.
@@zero00tolerance take it easy kid, no need to feel attacked personally
Things appear to be a joke when you have absolutely no idea about it. You are a layman and you sound exactly like one. So go and grabs books on the relevant subject and educate yourself first before vomiting stupid comments.
@@ayanchakraborty3559 he may be a layman - but he is a sane layman. If that crap was anything but a money-grabbing scam - it would have been finished in the last 25 years..
@@zero00tolerance you can't have ground effect 15,000 feet up
"If it looks good, it'll fly good" is a refuge for mediocrity and ignorance.
Yet this model flies, and does pretty well.

Someone please give us the obligatory red herring "If they were so good, why isn't anybody flying them now?"
