This Real VTOL Concept Was So Bad They Gave Up... SO I MADE ONE!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 30 сен 2024
- Welcome to another episode of Trailmakers! Today I am attempting to recreate a failed VTOL concept known as the Grumman G-674 Nutcracker. It was a plane that had a folding fuselage allowing the tail to fold down 90 degrees from the cockpit, along with the engines. It was then intended to be able to hover in the position to vertically take off and land. Even at face value, it's questionable how good of an idea this was, but it's even worse than I had imagined.

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.

I have a request scrapman, it's the 'praying mantis' tank, I think it was supposed to raise it's turret up so it can shoot from behind a wall,you can do more research for clear info
After some researching, I think it's worthy for Scrapman's attention. Not too overcomplicated, simple in concept, could be upgraded by Scrapman.
@@locke_ytb lol, I literally saw this after I posted a comment about this same tank. great minds think alike.
simple yet practical, my favorite
It got heartEd, it's getting made
GET THIS TO THE TOP!!!!!!!!!!
the nutcracker is embodiment of how childishly creative grown ups can be xD
I feel like if a bird and a plane merged into one . . . this seriosly messed up aircaft could be it
well it was probably made for aircraft carriers to save space on it keep in mind that back then vtol was a new concept
W- well y- you see it would fold like a nut cracker. what? W- well it's gonna land on a folding landing pad
This was probably how it went
You , going through this, with the scrapman comb, is honestly, the best.
quality content + history lesson + interesting creations + scrapman = yes
nah, I think you just wrote the equation for entertainment
@@nixyndixy9431 any can be entertaining, but scrapman is the most (imo)
Quality content + history lesson + interesting creation = ScrapMan
Trailmakers+Scarp machine+quality content+history lesson +interesting creations +Scarp man=Ultimate Scarp man videos
Yes
Imagin manning the AA turret, you're told something is being picked up from the east, you look over, and you see a squadron of T-posing jets approaching, you freeze up unsure if it's the ridiculousness of the situation or the dominance asserted by the plane
I’d end up thinking they’re giant insects...
That would be quite effective paintjob
@@glauberglousger6643 that's terrifying
I would shoot myself if I saw this
All of them parking in a bridge like bats sleeping
Hey, Scrapman this creation reminds me of a Humming trying to use its long beak to drink nectar from flowers and it feels more like it when you count in the boom arm and the special landing pad made for it altogether.
When the landing mechanism is acalled a “boom arm” things are guaranteed to go wrong
hehe plane go boom boom
You could make a Cyclocopter?
*Cyclotech VTOL*
Or a skatopticor
ScrapMan's videos are just the best, he has a really good production quality, he has a great personality and there is so much more but I am not here to write an essay. I just want to congratulate ScrapMan on becoming one of the best youtubers of all time, if not the best youtuber of all time. In my opinion he deserves to have over 10 million subscribers.
True
actually if looked at from the aircraft carrier view it makes perfect sense as you could land launch these off the sides of ships not just carriers. could also hug buildings most ships and buildings could be adapted by adding 3 small platforms specifically for the lander gear instead of having full Heli pads installed i can see the money saving aspect if it hat actually flown and worked.
scrapman, you are making great video but, it may be better if you can provide all the information as you build the creation. I know information is not boring , i am saying that breaking it up can be more entertaining.
Love your videos though!
damn, I was building this for tomorrow lol, guess I’ll throw that one in the trash as well xD
Would still love to see your take on it :)
I love the "failed inventions" videos!
petitions for scrap to get his own gaming history TV show XD
I’ve got three ideas. All of them have been built but never got past the testing phase. They are called tail sitters, rotodyne, and ekronoplan. You can find some good sources of it, including on a RUclips channel named “Mustard” which was how I found them. It should be fun to see.
YES, i’ve been waiting for this!!
you play plane crazy?
@@Dxniel09 yes
@@jadenrhys_4987 cnxrw.
I just watches found and explained for this and this thing is just weird lol
Someone probably already said this but if just the engines were on a gimbal (like the v22 osprey) i feel like it would have had a much better chance at success
Edit: oh look scrapman himself said it
Edit 2: oh look the engineers said it too
A build suggestion, the "Aerotrain". It's supposed to hover but not like the Japanese maglev trains.
:o
18:05 Trailmakers does that with positive hinge output. If you just rotate hinges and use negative (aka read arrows) output, you would get constant speed in both directions. Im actually suprised You didn't know that but i guess you dont build that much.
Idk if its a glitch or feature but you can actually use this for complicated stuff like folding gears or something.... Also im pretty positive, its the reason why TM steering is TRASH.
ok i kinda get the idea of this , its not exactly ment to land on the ground its a navy plane its ment tohang on the edge of aircraft carriers , cause on aircraft carriers tolaunch jets they use a slingshot type mechanism , aswell as to stop planes they use a wire catch mechanism .
all in all fair idea ,fair exocution ,poor planning lmao
And in this day we have the V 22 Osprey, An aircraft that accomplish this by combining a helicopter with a plane, of course by only moving its propellers.
Just totally ignored the whole torque imbalance lol. There is no way the thrust lines up with the center of mass in the hinged position.
In my opinion as shown on 7:29 that the jet/engine/thruster is right in front of the wing and tail so I think that’s why scrap man ignored it?
Edit I just finished watching the vid and he did exactly what you said in the comment
If you wanna learn more about this aircraft, Found and Explained made a really good video about it
Can you do a screw drive vehicle in trailmakers?
you should try making the christmas bullet - a biplane which was supposed to flap it's wings like a bird
This would be a rather cool albeit still nonsensical concept for some kind of alien (star)fighter. I imagine huge carrier vessels with entire swarms of those fighters perching on rows of those 90° racks like giant insects....
i had a feeling this one was only a matter of time to be made since i learned about it last week lol
M270 MLRS rocket artillery. You may even be able to make it in instruments of destruction, though it would be easier in trailmakers or heck even scrap mechanic
yes
Doesn't he only build interesting and quirky stuff? At least for now he does so i don't think he'll build it.
@@nikkiofthevalley it's cool but it doesn't have any quirky ideas like the thing that is shown in this video
This thing reminds me of the Dragonflies in Black Panther… maybe that’s where they got the inspiration for their vertical takeoff sequence
4:38 the V-22 Osprey is kind of an airliner.. not civilian, but it’s a transport VTOL of troops and equipment.
Wonder if this inspired Robotech/Macross... 🤔 Great job on another build!!
You can check out the RUclips channel found and explained because he provides quite a lot of information about old plane designs that were weird or couldn’t be built and u could get a bunch of ideas
Inspector: how are you supposed to land
Creater: Haven’t ever thought about that
Best advise ever to receive
If you're looking for more unique aircrafts to replicate you should look at the VZ-9AV Avrocar or the LTV XC-142, both are experimental VTOLs
Another failure of history is the ekranoplan and honestly I think it would be fun to build
Hey scrap man could you please make the 9k720 iskander, it’s cool you could make the 9k720 iskander-m model if you want
Day two of asking
Thank you for starting to make videos in trailmakers - i love it!
Hey sm if you ened any more info on this plane just check out the found and explained yt chanel it has a video on this plane which is vrry detailed
It's a bird, it's a plane, nope it's scrapman, DUCK, loving it brother lol
just watch your moded water wheel vid from last year, and you should do a car the can drive on water using literal water wheels.
Hey scrapman if you use the liner chrome extension it will make your life much easier for searching things.
scrapman sead it wrong scrapman should say i will tank this creator for giving me a good content
If you wanna skip to the part where he Is not reading about the vtol and goes to trailmakers go to 8:08
Son: Mom can we get an Osprey
Mom: No we have an Osprey at home
The Osprey at home
i never even realized this is what the dragon fly plane that was in black panther!!
Bruh I just watched a video about this v tol thing last night, and now your building it 😀
scrapman can you try and make the Minecraft redstone piston plane thing in trailmakers?
You should try to make another failed vtol called the pogo aircraft
You might get better results if you put the thrusters right under the forward wings in the vtol mode like it was in the original version.
That one is the "son of nutcracker" which is essentially a V-22 Osprey, but jets
Looks more like a hummingbird than a nutcracker. I'm wonder why Son of Nutcracker wasn't build since it's basically a V-22 Osprey.
I did a full video on it on my channel
plz do the rhino car from 1954 or the Tail Sitter from 1955
WOOO MORE FALIURES AND WEIRD STUFF FROM HISTORY IN VIDEOGAMES!!!!
Can u make a vehicle propelled by trailmakers sparks!!!
Can you try and make the Hawker Siddeley V/STOL
I love it when you research these things and build them in trailmakers or scrap mechanic its very entertaining to see you keep essentially saying BUT WAIT THERES MORE since you now have become the most knowledgeable person in the world on some random failure XD
Wow impressive. I honestly was already starting to give up on this being viable after seeing the model version.
This is very interesting that you were able to get this to react so stably as well as the control method they chose.
Personally I feel like with some central venting ports facing forwards and backwards from a turbine, this could be somewhat viable for a drone with current technology and calculation speed.
However idk about on a boat, any sort of strong gusts to contend with and this wouldn't be able to launch or land / dock. VTOL would present way too unstable a surface for any sort of flight.
Easy way to test or show an example of this would be to take it into the high seas, and put it in Vtol, you don't even need to try any manoeuvres, it's just going to flip all over the place probably.
Love this sort of technical engineering from the past series of videos and creations.
you should upload those to the workshop and make a viewer contest to make them better!!! YOU SHOULD ALSO CHECK OUT THE "Cierva C.4"
Reality, noooo!! Why have you done this to meeeeee???
Day 14 of asking to make brick rigs content again
Why doesn't scrap man play space engineers?
This made me wanna rewatch Planes for some reason.

learnt abt it recently on found and explained
Can you do the nemuth parasol plane
you missed the delayed anialation

Grumm my nu-
The Harrier is a thing tho
Ey
Where is Best Builds?
Hi scrapman, try this one, the "Hafner Rotabuggy"
Ideas:build a Lun(project 903) it's a military sea plane that never use it on wars .It might be harder to build it bc the thrusters has to put on the cockpit.
Thrusters on the cockpit? What could go wrong!? 😆
Sa
GG and you 😎 Rock
Ur first
Out of curiosity, did you try reversing the folding hinge? I'm not sure but I know trailmakers isn't perfect but that could fix the folding in the air. May be worth a test
"VTOL airliners have not become a thing yet..."
Erm... the Airbus ACH175, an up to 12-passenger commercial/corporate helicopter would like a word. And if that doesn't tickle your fancy, what about the Mil V-12, a Soviet passenger airliner helicopter that seated up to 196 passengers and a flight crew of 6? It never entered commercial service, but they did build two of them and they really did fly!
Oh, of course that was... \*ahem* That was in 1969. Seven years before this travesty was vomited onto the cover of the magazine. 🤣
Build the german MAUS Tank
In the tank builder game
I don't know the name of the game
If it took that many tries, imagine they are testing this with people, how many lives just fly away
See now _this_ is a true engineering fail! That last one with the flappy umbrella, one, had the possibility of working, two, would've done something not done before and in a way there was nothing better for at the time, and three, was made by a guy who presumably didn't know any better.
To see something this ridiculous with a name like "Grumman" attached to it? Pricelessly hilarious.
Look at the take-off platform... if you have that kind of infrastructure, complicated and with hydraulics and pivots it looks like... just build a damn runway!
I suppose as an auxiliary fighter launcher it's not the _most_ ridiculous idea, but they just wound up using rocket catapults for that in WWII.
As for how it's meant to land? Uh... if this was designed for the purpose I think it was, it just _wasn't_ meant to land. xD
It'd defend its cargo ship then splash down and the pilot would be fished out of the water.
Edit: That... was a _landing pad!?_ Oh. Oh mai...
And this was in 1976!? Bruh, even for black budget R&D shenanigans this was whack! I thought maybe 1943!
Here is a challenge. The A-10 Warthog. It is not a failed creation, far from it. The challenge is to make it work like the real life version (it can also fly if one wing breaks and one of 2 engines fail)
Hi Scrapman! Day 40
Incompetent Boss: So what yur sayin is... It's possible...
Exasperated Engineer: If you completely disregard the safety of the pilots, ignore the glaring budget problems, and overlook the fact that the landing system alone would take up MORE space than a regular aircraft, I guess.
IB: PERFECT! I want a scale model by Wednesday!
EE: (Sighs in defeat) Yes sir...
To be honest, Scrapman? You would have made a _great_ engineer. Engineering is mostly about how you think about things, not what you know. Memorizing all the equations is for school. Working engineers just look it up most of the time. You don't have to know all the things off the top of your head, but rather _what_ things to look up, and the context to understand and apply them.
Obviously you think much more clearly about these kinds of things than many real engineers did! And yes, you're from the future from their perspective, but they were somewhere between half a century and a century into having the knowledge you're using to immediately identify that this is an absurd idea that could never work. They have no excuses. xD
Scrapman, I dare you...
To make a Kugelpanzer.
Also known as, the German Ball Tank
ALSO HAVE yOU HEARD OF THE HOLY ROLLER?!
its a true wonder of Canadian engineering :)
It served in countless engagments in the second world war!
At one point of time, it was even outfitted as a bridge layer and a mine sweeper!
Its the only tank of the First Hussars (from London, Ontario) to have survived!
If you're interested in touching a true gold mine for grabbing new viewers then you should see if it'd tickle your interests!
It's quite the legend where I'm from, I reckon that Draegast knows a fair bit about it too, given how I lived in the same town as him for a while (London, Ontario)
The City of London is hoping to get it field worthy again, but its extremely expensive and the fact one of the tracks was rebuilt using parts from a newer model of tank means that even if it does run, it'll never be quite as elegant as it once was!
Lastly, in case you ever feel like you don't get much reach past the USA, here in the Windsor essexs, you're extremely popular :D
I started a club at my school, dedicated to you :)
it is #blessed
I'm honored to be subscribed to you!

You know flight is just the play between center of mass direction of thrust amount of thrust and drag ...
THIS THING IS INFURIATING
Whew, they sure did have some wacky ideas of how to achieve VTOL flight. Sadly being a VTOL requires sacrificing everything that makes a plane stable in flight, as well as complex issues with balance, etc, and it just makes for a worse aircraft for accomplishing MISSION.
Failed war creations are cool and all, but it would be really cool for you to try to build the arctic snow cruiser, a HUGE truck that was made to... Well... Cruise trough the arctic and it have a mini bi-plane to aid in recon or help stranded expeditioners, if failed for so many reason, it was abandoned somewhere for so long, it got covered in snow and NOBODY KNOWS WHERE IT ENDED UP, so that's a pretty good title too: "This arctic snow cruiser was so flawed, it got abandoned and nobody know where it ended up"
First
Why? Really, why does this… why… I have no words. This is the most mesmerizing terrible design I’ve ever seen. Could people seriously not comprehend the concept of aiming some jet engines vertically? Like seriously, it’s ridiculous that it took until the Hawker Sidley Harrier for people to think of vertical thrusters rather than vertical airplanes.
I feel like Trailmakers should be a mandatory first pass prototype for anybody trying to make ridiculous new mechanical inventions. I guess it's fair they didn't have Trailmakers decades ago...
So I infer they didn't have a decent understanding of gravity back then...
And VTOL is in some models of jets, I decided to look up "VTOL aircraft" and a few jet models came up, I found it interesting
day 151 or 152 of asking scrapman to start a Survival series amphibious tank/basically any transportation and floating base/barge (or under water.) But you need mods... it's a requirement to breathe underwater, if you want an underwater base/transportation. And yes i am talking about the underwater fan moonbo reviewed that basically makes water spaces air spaces... if that makes any sense.) (and if you wanted to move the barge/boat/floating base you are able to make thrusters/glitches/mods to do it or by lift or actual push
If you're going to talk about why vertical take off and landing is important, you should also mention why helicopters which are great at VTOL don't meet requirements...
Why
Day 18 of asking for more marble world, day 25 of asking for more workshop hunters, and day 30 of asking for more brick rigs
How different a world it would be. Thanks fer the link, My Dad had subscriptions to the Popular(Science, Mechanics) series of magazines.
I don't know about anyone else, but I was having trouble finding this video. I thought you didn't upload a video. When I saw the thumbnail for this I thought it was the other VTOL video you did. It looks somewhat similar at a glance.
Small ships used helicopters then Scrapman.. and we still do. This is entirely the industrial military complex of the DOD
Source: Retired sailor. was on a cruiser and worked on the flight deck.
A channel called “found and explained” just uploaded a video about this a week ago, “the real life transformer, navy’s VTOL”
I recommend the Heinkel Wespe and Lerche WW2 VTOL Concepts another is the focke-Wulf VTOL called the Focke Rochen
