That's one thought. But I had wondered if China would not have been a better choice. They've been trying to breakaway from Russia's offering so they may have been more open to his ideas'
Reportedly Iran went from begging Russia for the Su-35, which would significantly improve their air force, to telling Russia "eh, we can build our own airframes". I wonder if they got hold of this guy's designs.
@@xkavarsmith9322 Well, the big problem of Iran isn’t the airframe, they can make an 3rd gen airframe. It’s about building the engines and avionics that makes Su-35 the difference.
The Avrocar was a hovercraft. It didn't have wings, it just "flew" via directed thrust. I believe there were ideas to develop it into a lifting body, probably not too dissimilar from the Flying Flapjack, but the real-life prototypes never got that far.
Off topic but...the film series 007 actually built most of what you see on screen...so what's Russia actually doing?! I mean when MGM can build a better anything as a working set piece than Russia has made ever kinda says it all.

3:51 - big mistake in the model here. The Flying Pancake had counter rotating props, with the prop tips moving outwards at the top. The generated propwash was intended to counteract the HUGE amount of tip vortex generated by the very low aspect ratio wing with its huge tip spillage.
I'm confused lol - "In the Soviet Union it beat all competition".... yet it was designed largely in the late 90's/early 2000s when the USSR no longer existed.. and was only a paper concept that never actually flew?
It was an awful time in Russia. The designer of the Strike One pistol for example had to flee Russia after he refused to bribe half the administration to have his design accepted as the new pistol for the Russian police.
What a beautiful design. It's a genuine mix of art and sciences producing such and interesting silhouette. It's the sort of thing that looks like sci-fi but could actually exist in the realm of reality. Perhaps it could find a place in flight sims like the Ace Combat series.
Several things are missing. Did the designer have an aero engineering degree? Were any wind tunnel tests done of reasonably size models? Had the designer a history of creating any other aircraft and were they successful? I suspect the answer to all these questions is no and that is the reason the aircraft never went anyplace.
Looks like something produced when designers got told to maximize radar signature. Looks like the best dogfighter in the age of beyond visual range missiles.
flying saucers do not use aerodynamics for propulsion, but the propulsion field that surrounds the saucer shaped platform does move the atmosphere around it.
He knew he needed to base his aircraft on a "flight proven" design... so choosing the large rotating disc, present on American AWACS aircraft, was the obvious choice.
13:25 The f35 isn't designed for high cruise speeds. Its engines specifically switch over to extremely high fuel efficiency during cruise, which gives it more range. Its designed for higher thrust during combat, which is what you actually need. Almost anything can have a "higher cruise speed/max speed" than the f35, because cruise speed/max speed is irrelevant in modern air fighting doctrine and the F35 isnt designed for it. A total of ~3 seconds of air combat ever was at these speeds. Everyone boasts about being "faster than the f35" while the f35 is snickering at how dated your air combat doctrine is.
I assume the word Shafak means the same as Şafak (same pronunciation) in the Turkish language as Persian and Turkish share quite a few words. If so Şafak/Shafak means Dawn/First Light of the day. The project itself seems very interesting. Can't wait to see the civil aviation story of Mr. Mohammedov.
If you want a good and cheap lightning effect done in Blender (I suppose this is the program you are using), get a cube, principled volume shader, musgrave texture multiplied and plugged into density till it looks likea cloud, put a point light at the bottom part, slightly inside, and it should look like a light from within the cloud. With good lighting conditions it looks really great when you make the lamp blue and make it just vibrate with light now and than (which can be automated using noise and Limits modifiers)
Dear Nick. This comment is off topic to the video: I would like to point your attention to the German designer Luigi Colani, who designed several planes, within that the Megalodon superplane with four levels and a hypersonic design. I would appreciate if you could make some videos of those concepts. Thanks in advance
Dear Nick.😮 Would appreciate to see a video about disk wings/round wings as shown in this video. (Not to be confused with the already shown ring wings).
Nice video, thanks, I´ve never seen this project before. But the Russians made their own experimentals with circular wings in the past. You also used a top view of the Shukanov Diskoplan 1 at 4:15. There were 2 further prototypes, they are shown in the museum in Monino. I´ve built a scratch built model in 1/48 of the Shukanov Discoplan 1 some years ago, it´s shown on Modellversium.
The science fiction franchise Battletech has a couple of aerospace fighters with circular wing designs. They are described as unstable in atmospheric flight, so they are confined to space operations only.
So, they ignored his designs - not once, but multiple times... then they went "You work for us, or you work for nobody..." and then proceeded to ignore them again? They obviously didn't (and still don't) know what they want - or when they just _may_ have _possibly_ a god idea on their hands... and that's exactly the mindset that ultimatively lost them the friggin' Cold War... and it still prevails to this day...
This is the definition of having a great idea and sticking with it... but not really since Russia will just pick the one contractor who pays them the most rubles and does everything free lmao
Hmm.. wouldn't the circular root of the wing cause instability and create unnecessary drag? I feel like it would be wildly inefficient for a military plane, that being said, i cant help but like the way the later designs looked with the wings swept more rearward so i say the design has some merit. Too bad it'll probably never be built. 😕
Ive seen this as a plastic model with the wings splitting and forming an x from the top view. The designer seems like "Tesla" but for military aircraft.
I hope one another country like india, China, north korea or iran use his design and make it better for their respective air force! This is really cool jet but sad to see it not getting a chance!😢
1 The " W " type wing designe from Yugoslavia is missing here by the author. 2 There is even more crazy round airplane-zeppeline-helicopter in existence by a russian engineer.
So this thing could of beat the current worlds best fighter the F-35A, with all that goes with it like American weapon systems and weapons, network centric and all that goes with that! leading ESM and ECM, DAS, AESA radar new AIM-260 missiles and the myriad of western weapons and systems I could go on and on. The F-35 isn't about just the F-35 aircraft it's about everything that the west has that can connect and network to it.............making it currently unbeatable!

He should have chosen to migrate to Iran. Maybe he would have made an actually good concept of the Qaher-313 that entered production.

If that's the case you're watching the wrong channel...

If there's any merit to this design, then this just proves that innovation is _wasted_ on the Russian system
Any communist system basically destroys innovation.
When it comes to aircraft Russia never quite gets a handle on it.

14:30 amazing fighter jet design ... nice video
So whenever a new plane design appeared, he simply drew a circle using a compass...

Had the designer a history of creating any other aircraft and were they successful? I suspect the answer to all these questions is no and that is the reason the aircraft never went anyplace.
It's because it was a stolen design from Testors plastic model ftom the 80s. It's just more stylized.
Beautiful video, editing must have taken a lot of time. Good work.

Rounded shapes like that must make quite a big spot on radar..

few of the aircraft does have circular shapes between hull and wing. not so extreme as this one but its not so new either

you are delusional..the su57 is thr sexiest jet today
3:50 why are the propellers turning the same direction?
it reminds me with some sort of Airplane toy 😅
It's based off a plastic Testors scale model from the 80s.

If the concept was that good, someone would have implemented it. But this form is unstable and will not allow you to develop high speed.
This is the definition of having a great idea and sticking with it... but not really since Russia will just pick the one contractor who pays them the most rubles and does everything free lmao
The nearest you'll get to watching two planes having a baby together, an F-18 with an F-22.

if it can fly sideways and reverse at similar mach speeds then that’s impressive.

Still more operational than Su-57 and T-14 combined
It's actually not unlike any other fighter. There were fighter designs like that in WW2. Pancake something? I forget.
