This Was the First Successful VTOL, and They STILL GAVE UP... SO I BUILT ONE

- Опубликовано: 3 окт 2024
- Welcome to another episode of Trailmakers! Today I am recreating the Convair XFY Pogo. Despite never making it to full operational production, this plane is credited with performing first successful VTOL flight in 1954. It was actually very proficient in flight and could even outpace other aircraft at the time, but the difficulty of transitioning in and out of VTOL mode made it too risky for the average pilot.

About Trailmakers:
In the toughest motoring expedition in the universe, you and your friends will build your own vehicles to cross a dangerous wasteland. Explore, crash horribly, use your wits to build a better rig, and get as far as you can with whatever spare parts you find on your way.
Welcome to the Ultimate Expedition!
Journey over grueling mountains, hazardous swamps, and bone-dry deserts on a distant world far from civilization - it is just you, your fellow adventurers and the amazing, jet-powered hover-buggy you built yourself. Explore, crash your vehicle, build a better one, and get as far as you can with whatever spare parts you find along your way.
Trailmakers is about building very awesome vehicles and machines, but you don’t need an engineering degree to get started. The intuitive builder will get you going in no time. Everything you build is made from physical building blocks. Each block has unique features like shape, weight and functionality. They can be broken off, refitted and used to build something new. Individually the blocks are fairly simple, but combined the possibilities are endless.
Expedition Mode is the challenging campaign mode of Trailmakers. You are competing in an off-world rally expedition with only a few building blocks to get you started. You must build, tinker with and rebuild your machine to progress. Journey through a big world, overcome deep gorges, angry wildlife and dangerous weather to progress and find new parts that will juice up your machine. The world in Expedition Mode will test your survival skills and ingenuity.
Sandbox Mode is where you want to head for an unrestricted, sandbox, vehicle-building experience. Here you can build anything you can dream of, and play around with it in the world of Trailmakers. It is a great place to test out crazy machines, and experiment with the physics engine. With tons of different blocks, hinges, thrusters and interactive vehicle parts - the skybox is the limit.
Trailmakers is even more fun if you play it with other people. Build cool vehicles and compete in mini-game modes with your friends or other Trailmakers online. Build a helicopter, send it to your friend, and shoot them out of the sky. Put two seats on a tank, and let your friend control the turret. As we get further in Early Access development Expedition Mode will also be adapted to multiplayer.

As an engineer, I've been greatly enjoying your series on historical vehicles. Thank you for shedding light on the failures and successes of engineering history and making it entertaining
The Tail-sitters did it first, but those with thrust vectoring did it better. But the Tail-sitters look more odd, so I like it more.
Idk what that even means but interesting .
@@B4evrtru-26 an example of thrust vectoring can be found on the sea harrier and the yak38. the plane is horzontal on the ground, and the engine faces forward, but it takes of vertically by vectoring the exhaust gases of the plane downward. the plane takes off vertically, but the nose of the plane faces forward.
Now make a Biplane with folding lower wings. Yes they exist. For instance the Russian IS series polymorphic planes.
Yes!
Please
"The problem with the VTOL was the Vertical Take Off and Landing" - Scrapman

thats funny XD
🤣
the problem is the purpose
The problem with the VTOL was the VTOL
@@lambachurro8790🤧
Hey, scrapman. I think it would be better to do this type of planes and vehicles in KSP, where the physics is much more komplex.
Brave kerbals can do much more than trailmakers tiny humans
I agree kerbal space program is actually quite pretty fun simulation
Game.

It's hard to land something when you basically have to reverse park it by eye.
Easily fixed, just give it a heads-up display with digital velocity and altitude, along with some rear view cameras, heck throw in computerized auto-landing while you're at it.
I don't know why they didn't think of that!
...
... in 1954.
@@paritybit7830 I know right, such obvious answer they just didn't think about
Trailmakers multiplayer challenge: best VTOL challenge
Thought they already did that, maybe not tho
The pogo was pretty cool, and promising… except for the fact that only the best pilot’s could actually land it.
The best pilot's what? What belongs to the best pilot?
@@loganroman5306 peanuts without the T
@@loganroman5306 autocorrect doesn’t like it when I type certain words plural, it’s really annoying I wish I could turn it off.
More funky VTOL action! You could rry the Coleoptére next!
This was awesome, nicely done Scrapman!
I used to wake up daily to the sound of the Harrier Jump Jet, incredible piece of kit.
Thank you so much for actually building it
Loving the vedeos keep going scrapman.
Scrapman never gives up, and his videos never let us down
Scrapman never runs around, and he never desertes us
Absolutly loving the fallen war machines series
I would like to se more eveloution
Agreed
Another 15 minutes of fame is a good name for the series
This channel bats 1000, with what I see in real life.
I’m so glad you did one of these. I’ve been waiting for you to do a tail sitter.
I'm so happy you did this plane I reccomended a few days ago already, thank you so much!
Continue your videos as you do!
Liked for the sneeze bless you
Love your videos!
Ty Scrapman for releasing the video 1 hour earlier, I don't have to wait till 1 am in my country.
Same it's 11pm for me

Hello scrapman. A request for you to try to recreate the ‚vespa caproni’ An experimental armoured car with a rombus shaped wheel base.
which allowed for a small turning radius.
Please keep doing these I love these
Great video space man 😲👍
I love the historical vehicles/mechanisms series, please do more
10:03
"And the seat controls themselves actually do a pretty good job with the uhhm the pitch.-"
"oh my goodness"
You should totally play KSP, it would be an amazing series!
bless you scrapman
You should try making Walschaerts Valve Gear!
I think that ScrapMan needs to watch Found and Explained. That channel has a lot of great content on more crazy ideas. Such as underwater aircraft carriers, the pogo, more crazy VTOLs, and much, much more. Basically this series but just telling all about some of the crazy ideas ScrapMan has been building.
Lots of these aircraft maybe easier to build in simple planes. That game has amazing plane and helicopter physics that has great customization.
Omg yes,this makes so much sense,and a really good way to start a new game in the channel
It is also extremely complex in some areas. For example trying to make plane bodies and wings look semi-realistic is extremely hard.
@@bluesclues1904 it takes time but usually the result is worth it
@@EllieT I really love the game so to see it would be nice
Last day of asking Scrapman to make a singularity black hole generator, 8 magnets, 4 on bottom and top axis, overdrive them, and make them spin clockwise and counterclockwise
0:59
"I think that's kinda funny they focused on that for the name."
Oh boy, ur gonna hv a laugh when u realise they named a storm Vergil (his theme song lyrics being , "I am the storm that is approaching.")
scrapman is so underrated he deserve more likes
I remember mentioning this thing in the other vtol craft video
Hey, Scrapman, I have another idea which I think might be a challenge in trailmakers. What about the KugelPanzer? It’s a “tank” made by the Germans in WWII
Greetings from NY, shame I have to leave for work right now XD
Something similar and equally wild is the C.450 Coléoptère.
Its like trying to park a car backwards, but without mirrors to help you see behind
I kinda wanna see a completely made of wedge car in trail makers
You should totally make an octopus vehicle.
You should build the C-450 Coléoptère, a weird french VTOL from the 50s
Its cool how much you think about game mechanics to make it as best as possible
Scrapman, make a beyblade and surround it with magnets facing outwards and use thrusters to rotate it. Use a swivel to cancel out the beys rotation and place another swivel on top of it and place some thrusters to use for changing directions(in instruments of destruction)
Love your vid keep it up. Can you build the coleoptere next?
lol the first landing you did with this creation looks just like everyone's KSP first land, btw you should play KSP its really fun
Bless you!
Hey Scrapman, great vid! I built a tailsitter a while ago, and a tip I can give is to put a gimbal jet in the nose to assist with the landing. It's kind of a cheat, but oh boy, it becomes way easier
You should do the curtiss auto plane it’s the first flying car,from 1917 if u haven’t already
Nice, you prove that this plane was capable of flying and eve safe emergency landing as you have done too (12:41) :D
Hank tank recreation on trailmakers?
Would be hype
yeah
You should try to build the SR-71 Blackbird in Trailmakers.
i am doing a school essay on the real life machines and i love your videos
I think there was a problem with turning your head to see behind you when landing the plane vertically, I think that's why they gave up on the concept of a vertical cockpit due to the required safety gear to fly in general.
Oh yeah! G1 Cybertronian seekers time!
Try making the Navy flying saucer, the one with the central fans and the cockpit up front.
In instruments of destruction, in the steam workshop go into the top rated destruction category, and choose heavy rail. It is by far the most destructive thing I’ve ever seen and it basically vaporizes entire buildings with one shot
You should make a pedrail. Or a scrap mechanic steam roller with saw blades as the rollers.
Good job
Hi Scrapman, I would relly like to see the Heavy Gustav or Schwerer Gustav in german. Its a giant Tank, that drives on 3 train tracks. And nice video btw (like always)
Its not really a tank but a gun
Do the Ekranoplan next!
Scrapman you should try to make the French tail sitter the Coléoptère it has an interesting design
Elford in the Chaparral 2J at Laguna Seca, 1970: Wedge Gang approval applied for.
Oh yeah, i forgot about this, Scrapman make the French barrel tail sitters
I love your recreations
I would've loved to see Scrapman implement the detachable trail and skid landing as well.
Let's have a VTAL race in multi player Monday 😁
First!!!! Hi scrapman i love your vids keep up the good work!!!!!
Oh he made a new video, thanks.
Keep it up btw
Scrapman, i found a useful engine that you can make it in your video, that engine mostly used in flying vehicles which is Gnome Monosoupape Engine
Love these
day 18. I'm losing hope: you should make the progvev-t. It was a tank with a jet engine that blowed lots of heat to explode mines. you could probably use cannons in the turbine.
Trailmakers build idea: The HankTank from your nomad series in Scrap Mechanic
these recreation videos are amazing
I finally thing I built a good 4 link suspension in this game lmfao it rock crawls sooooo good and has a LOT of articulation. still making it look nicer
now to build more planes
Good job, keep up gud wokr
You should have added the detaching wing on the bottom
Scrapman, I got a good idea(not sure) for instruments of destruction. Replace the wrecking ball on a wrecking ball crane with a magnet
Hey ScrapMan, you should make the eVTOL aircraft.
Scrapman, try turning the airfoils for lift upside down.
please make one of the more modern v-tols thanks
the suspension on the smaller wing pogos are a-symmetrical
I recommend the AVE Mizar
The reason it looks unsemetrical is your pogo on the tail fine. It's one block wide and your tailfin is two.
Fascinating 🧐
Don't take this the wrong way, but I enjoy the educational part of the video more than the part where you build it in game lol
Maybe go for the Coleoptere too.
You should build the harrier next
10:51 i really wanted to hold the fins and turn them to the direction like im flying the plane with my hands
A top fuel dragster would be cool
hi Scrapman you said that the comments will probably point out if something is asymertical and the landing gear on the tailfins are asymetrical but i know that making it symetrical on the tailfin is not possible without doubling it on the talefins
Other problems were that it was intended to be used on small ships by the Navy (which meant hitting a relatively small deck instead of a big airfield, and on the high seas where it might be pitching about) and that because it was propellor driven it wouldn't have been able to fly as fast as jet aircraft.
I think you should try to build some complex lego mechanisms in scrap mechanic since dimensions should be able to scale 1 to 1..... I think
Imagine a someone who helped in the production of star wars saw this flying over and was like hmmm that is a good spaceship design
1:48 cuz you sneezed, sneezing erases the past
I just love this series. It’s so much fun.
Do you post each build to the workshop?
1:51 bless you
More evelution pls, and campaign mode but great job with everything uve done so far
