I've been considering getting a Velocity for years, but every time I'm almost ready to pull the trigger, I go flying again in my old V-tail Bonanza and decide I'm still in love with it. The Velocity is a great airplane though and if I ever upgrade, it will be at or near the top of my list.
I live in the next town over. I took my sons to the facility, everyone was very nice and we even got a guided golf cart tour of the assembly area as well as various completed birds in the hangar. We even got to climb in and out of several of them. My kids were pretty jazzed, dad was drooling too...
Beautiful place. Beautiful people. Two smells that were part of our youth, the new generation is missing ( and they don’t even realize that they’re missing): 1. The smell of a machine shop. 2. The smell of books in a library.
Those wire looms look like stuff I used to see in aerospace. Very nice and clean. Building a Long EZ one of the really enjoyable parts was hot wiring cores. I'm a little surprised people don't want to do this. We genned up a hot wire supply that maintained constant average temperature and it worked really well. Great tour, beautiful aircraft.
Excellent, flying a canard aircraft is another one on my bucket list. These look like the top of the line. Great to watch this while the Sonex is stuck behind a 3' snow bank. I might need to move...
That was a great video. I’ve been drawn to velocity aircraft for a long time and this video was one of the more clear/ straight forward videos out there. Thanks for posting!
Velocity has come a long way in the development of their kit. Nice job Brian on getting this. Missed these guys at homebuilders week. ( I think that your view count within the first few hours already exceeds the attendance for that event by the way. Nice!)
Wow, in my opinion the most beautiful and graceful lady in the sky outside of the F22! Wish I had the time and skills to build one. Thanks for a great video.
I live south of Sabastian and have met Scott and Dwayne several times, they are Great people and listen to you. The shop is clean where it’s needed. I also surf at the inlet and see their planes fly by time to time (Yes, surfers like the fly-bys). Some day (Need more $$) would like to take a serious look at purchasing a Velocity. I have my licenses but don’t fly at this time. **Can we get updates on the twin turbo and the specs, how far can you go, carry load ect….. Thanks Dale in FL (Victor’s Friend)
"The Boston Whaler of Aircraft". Inspiring comment, although I still would not want test it's water landing capabilities. Putting this on the short list of aircraft I'd like to own someday.
Dwayne, if only I was 30 years younger.... How about development of the door rebates being moulded into the fuselage top n bottom with rebated tabs overlapped at the mid joint..... You doing amazing work, what energy.....
Nice video Brian. Thanks and well done. Did you get your head round why you had to get the bag out..? Eliminating the obvious possibilities of course. Do you think it may have been the repeated oscillations or what..? Thanks.
Sure. We actually went into three(3) oscillations and none of them were "dramatic" and in fact a very tall "wave" if you will within the oscillation spectrum. But we did "float" (zero gravity) for a significant amount of time and then loaded into a very positive g-force climbing the "wave" and then repeat. Then... diving the beach with a few g-pull turns. Honestly... I just haven't flown in a while and haven't accustomed my "inner ears" to that sort of "abuse" haha! I need to fly more! Thanks for watching and supporting here! (And for the record I didn't get sick... I just felt "flushed" and didn't want to risk messing that AWESOME cabin up!) :-)
@@ExperimentalAircraftChannel dude I felt for you when I saw the bag come out.....then I felt more for you when the guy just kept jibber jabbing and you weren't saying a word.....I would have asked him to just be silent for a second while I got me bearings back! Lol I was wondering when you were gonna pop the door and the next clip it was open, I think he thought you were going to jump out before he shut down! Great video, sweet aircraft but just a little too fast on the way out and back in for my liking....
When I was building a Vari-Eze Burt Rutan said you could tell a lot about a builder by how neat and clean his work area was….just saying. The Rutan hangar in Mojave in 1978 was immaculate.
@@babyboomer9560 You’re right. We saw inside the Rutan hangar when we did a tour of the airplane graveyard in the late 1990s. From distant memory, I seem to remember a Beech Starship was parked outside.
Terrific video and always enjoy seeing what Velocity is doing. Looks like a great company and aircraft. I haven't been in one yet and wondering about one thing. Does it feel like there is as much rolling as there appears to be on video? I realize with a camera on the end of the wing it will be exaggerated but also appears to be in the cabin video shot too. It seems like the aircraft rolls a bit and wondering if it's very noticeable in person? Thanks for great content on your channel!
THANK YOU for chiming in here and for your support. To answer your question... I didn't notice/feel that so much in flight to be honest. I do think you may just being seeing the camera mount position and angle. I didn't have the camera quite level either so that didn't help.
@@ExperimentalAircraftChannelwould love to get into aviation one of these days, but i was probably going to go for ultralight or paramotor, but still want to get training first, whether that be in a real aircraft or an ultralight. I'm kind of an enginerd, car guy, and have a thing for aviation. thanks for the reply it means a lot.
Great aircraft I just wish they were doing a layup when you were visiting their operation Bryan. Their shop machines a bullet proof and will work for another 80 years if maintained well... To bad we don’t produce machining equipment as rugged as those are and just add CNC control units, but extra metals cost extra monies$$ Bullet Proof.. Great company to design, build and fly a great aircraft design. Great one Bryan
Thank You. Yes... this is much more of a "Low Production" facility and do more "as needed" or "batch runs" then stock. So there wasn't as much to showcase for the "MAKING" part of each component unfortunately. But... as you can clearly see, there is MUCH happening in the ASSEMBLY HANGAR! :-) Thanks for showing up!
@@ExperimentalAircraftChannel their finished product speaks for itself. I never gave it much thought about the flight characteristics of the Canard design until I looked at the Raptor aircraft and the prop / ground distance. I have a new respect for pilots who fly these aircraft and the performance they obtain. I would love to see the turboprop aircraft fly and see if it would still be considered an experimental aircraft?
A twin turbo prop would be Awesome. However l wonder if the airframe would be up 4 it . They r silky smooth power plants 🪴 Think Velocity would need a Vacuum Bagged Epoxy Carbon Layup . And the best guys 2 chat 2 about that would be the young bucks at DarkAero
I have been interested in the Velocity Twin since 2010 and the short fuselage always keeps me on the lookout for other concepts. If it were 30ft my hesitation would be non existent, @ 25ft my concerns would still be on the radar but tolerable but with a 20ft I would be highly motivated to modify it until satisfied and that canard would be reshaped to suit the overall look similar to the SR-71 canard that didn't go into production. Great video and I am impressed with the process
@@StabyMcStabsFace if a car engine fails it is already on the ground and can still cause injury and damage, a plane is anywhere from 500ft to 25000ft and doing double or triple the speed on average. If you don't plan for a failure you will never expect the unexpected ! When I go to war if the rifle fails I have a pistol, if the pistol fails I have a bow and arrows, if the bow fails I have a field knife and if my knife fails I still have a plan-B
@@SGTMARSHALL1 Sounds like you need a better engine program. If the 540 or 550 is really that bad; I suppose a pair of 520s makes sense... still heavy and inefficient though. If a fear of piston problems or heights is first in your mind, I'd just go single turbine.
Redesign and blend the winglets to get rid of drag at the wing to winglet joint and I bet they gain 8-10knts. Look at the evolution of the Gulfstream winglets from the G3 to the G650, radius that joint and have less drag.
At one point he demonstrated how much the rudder can lower a wing. I've done many, many barrel rolls using rudder alone with no help from the ailerons in my Long EZ. They take about twice as long as when using aileron and rudder which is about 4 seconds, a pretty leisurely roll rate. You start the "rudder roll" about 60 degrees nose up and finish 60 degrees nose down.
hmm would love to hear your reasoning behind this?? if its expiremental we can keep updating as new things come out or better ideas arise. certified world your'e stuck with what you get.
@@rileyswing9731 Yeah, but the certified world has a few more requirements as well as FAA tracking for faulty equipment that needs to be repaired. I personally would rather have less new tech and the removal of the experimental label. It's not much peace of mind, but it's enough that it helps you worry less about the ability to stay in the sky.
I bet the 6 dislikes are from the guy building the "Raptor" and his friends..... I on the other hand have LOVED canard aircraft since the day I watched Burt Rutan Demo one of his first aircraft at Edwards AFB back in the early 80's...............

Haha! Nice! Always a good thing to live near an airport to have some traffic flying over. Thanks for watching!
I live 1.5 miles from the airport and see/hear this fly by regularly. I took a demo ride years ago; I should go back and visit.
Velocity is one of the most beautiful airplanes there is. Next to the VL3 Evolution. 👍
Don't forget it's twin the Blackwing 635RG.
Absolutely stunning. Would much rather have this than a Cirrus SR22 anyday. Just the look of it alone is so unique. Nothing like it.
LOVE Velocitys! It's nice to see the twins are getting popular.
Very interesting that it won’t sink in water. Imagine ditching in the ocean and having life saved from that. Awesome.
Beautiful place. Beautiful people.
Two smells that were part of our youth, the new generation is missing ( and they don’t even realize that they’re missing):
1. The smell of a machine shop. 2. The smell of books in a library.
Cool, I use to hang out there back in the late 80’s. Back in the Orange Crush days. The first R.G.
Orange Crush? Hah! Sebastian is a cool airport for sure. And... what Velocity is doing in the hangar is ever cooler! Thanks for watching!
Well that’s awesome
Those wire looms look like stuff I used to see in aerospace. Very nice and clean. Building a Long EZ one of the really enjoyable parts was hot wiring cores.

I fly a citation into kvrb often, I must drive up to see this place. Have always liked the velocities.
Very very interesting content Bryan. Thank you.

One of the early velocity planes was for sale recently, had a Pink Panther on it.
Did my demo ride in the Pink Panther many years ago. Loved how it handled.
Stunning design and a joy to fly
Always liked the look of the Velocity. Enjoyed the video Bryan, thank you.

What is are the disadvantages of a Canard design vs traditional Van's type RV or similar?
It's much harder to stall, as the canard stalls before the wing, pushing the nose down. The downside is that without flaps on the canard you need a longer takeoff roll
I've never had an opportunity to see or fly a Vilocity....
Would love to... I have always wanted to experience the canard design and flying carrictoristics
You should try it sometime. Velocity. Long EZ. Varieze. Thanks for stopping by today!
So I guess a ride in the twin is obviously out of the question!
So when this thing stalls does it go tail down first and what happens if the engine dies?
Tail never stalls, only the canard. If the engine quits it flies like any other plane until you land.
So where is the best place to put the subwoofer? 😎
Well, it's pretty.
Hah! Is that all? :-) Too fast for yah? Thanks for saying hello!
@@ExperimentalAircraftChannel yes, it's a little bit fast for those mountain side and sand bar take offs and landings.! And, it would get it dirty! 😂
