And, due to the propeller's placement on the aft of the saucer section where most Federation starships have their impulse drives; it proves that the ship's design is fully aerodynamically feasible.
Pat Doyle, we've had each other's backs before in arguments with creationists but I'm so pleased to find you're into Star Trek too. Live long and prosper.
Incredible that you got such a clunky design like the Enterprise D to actual stay in the air. That's an incredible accomplishment on your part. Thanks for sharing. :)
ralphyetmore Try the E model the Sovereign class starship from the later movies. More aerodynamic looking class of ship. Was supposed to have some atmospheric capabilities !
I don't think much of the negative feedback. He boldly went on where no one else would go, and succeeded. It worked. The finer points and prettiest looks are irrelevant. Just like the bumble bee. Commendable and not worthy of the bad critique. A true flagship. When is mkII to be built.?
Dude! That is great. I can't believe the original design of the Galaxy class was actually aerodynamically viable with a minimal effort. Credit to its designer Andrew Probert. I definitely would not have thought it was air worthy but you made it work. With a little bit of weight tweaking i'm sure you can resolve the stability issues. Thank you for making this and for using awesome soundtrack :).
Dangerosu With the 1701, The A, the B, I'm sure of the nacelles were thin top to bottom, and you might be able to get some aerodynamic shape to them. The C( I think) and for sure the D the nacelles were slim top to bottom. Those early ones though you could fudge the shape spittle and get some sort of airfoil shape and get vertical stabilization from them!
The sheer amount of time, work, research and care in creating this is not only a testament to your ingenuity but the enduring message OF Star Trek that NOTHING is impossible to the willing mind. BRAVO SIR!
WOW, that was incredible. You built the whole thing from scratch. I feel amazing when I build a prefabricated computer and then put it together like Lego blocks. I share your love of Star Trek, TNG is not only the best Star Trek but my all time favorite TV show of all time!!! You, sir, are a true engineer!
The physical shape of the ship was never meant to fly in our atmosphere. I think the fact that you found a way to make it do so is nothing short of freekin awesome!! SWEET!!!
They said it would never fly I'm sure. What a marvelous feat you have accomplished! Just Beautiful! That's my comment 5 years after the fact! You are an RC god.
Fuck all the haters dude! They are all just sitting home watching reruns whacking off to Diana Troy - while you're actually doing something which requires AWESOME creativity & engineering skills!!! You made a FICTIONAL ship that wasn't designed for air-lift even in the fictional SHOW... FLY in real life. Sure, there's a few balancing kinks to work out - but SO WHAT!!!! When is there NOT a few kinks to work out in something that's never been done before?!?! ... KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!! Get this perfected, make a BIGGER version - which can possibly even HOVER - and you might be able to get PAID to make special appearances at various shows & conventions... plus maybe nail a contract to make other functional fictional ships for the studios themselves!! PURE GENIUS dude!! Keep it up!!! :)
I don't give a fuqq if it's Donna! lol... My point remains the same :) And the fact that you KNOW it's "Deanna".. lmaoooo... I would never admit that I knew the proper spelling lol.. that's giving away too much if it's me!.. :-D I used to watch the series, I just never told anyone I watched it lolol.. so I damn sure ain't gonna tell em I can spell alien names lmaoooo...
DIMENSION X I'll have you know that Diana Troy has been the subject of many an idle night to great satisfaction. It's one of the secrets of Live Long, and if you do it right, prospering too. Don't knock it until you try it you Altarian Dildoe head. 😎👅🖖
Really great video!! The repeated practice runs shown launched from exactly the same angle was humorous and really made the video special! Well done getting that thing to fly!
Hi! Very nice aircraft. However your flight looks tail heavy. Measure the diameter of the forward disc from front to rear, multiply by .29, measure back from the leading edge with the product of diameter x .29 and that should be your Center of Gravity (CG). If your battery will not balance the aircraft on that CG, get a battery with a higher mAh (heavier) until it balances on the CG. All the best and Happy flying!
I've just found his second video and it flies great now but uses either a control board or some sort of flight stabilization with gyros or accelerometers. Great model.
Hi Ron, just out of interest (I know your comment is 3 years old but, no harm in trying) - would the center of gravity by measuring the disc only locate the COG of the disc? What about measuring the whole vessel's length? What about the different sections having different weights - or weights in different locations? (You can probably tell that I know very little about physics.)
This is really impressive. I mean it's 4 July 2021, and I'm seeing this for the first time... And I'm very impressed. I mean you did this, you built this in an age in the world's history where we didn't really have smartphone apps (they were pretty new back then). But more than that, you did it before the age of drones that would have added a lot more lift. You did it long before the age of 3d printing where you could have printed (replicated?) the parts you needed. Very very impressive
Already mentioned in the second video of yours: AWESOME WORK!!! Thanks for sharing! I secretly took a video myself at the toy fair of a flying RC Star Trek Quadrocopter! Seems like there will be an official licensed one soon. I hope they'll release it in Europe, too. Customs costs are killing me recently
adisharr Nuh uhh!!!!! The inertial dampers would prevent the crew from feeling the motion of flight!!! I mean ,Geeze think about it! Even under m - pulse (which is the correct spelling) the crew would be squished under the terrific acceleration, not to mention Warp acceleration!!! All 1014 crew members would be reduced to goo in the rear of the ship!
WOW! I can't believe you got it to fly considering it has no lift profiles. The directional surfaces are ingenious. Great job, and thank you for sharing your accomplishment!
Not sure exactly what data's role was, but he did sit at the con. I think wesly plotted co-ordinates though. Not sure what data's role was. Still, your commend gave me a chuckle.
I totally agree! I heard a great quote when I was a kid flying r/c at Glue Dober's in Tulsa, OK. This old man said "an F-4 Phantom jet was proof that you could fly a brick... If you have enough horsepower".
Rob Poe I think it would always be tail heavy due that giant saucer as a lifting body, compared to the lack of lifting surfaces on the engineering hull! Could possibly make a more airfoil shape out of the nacelle struts.They are horizontal on this class of ship.
GarrisonFall I have no understanding of your techno babble but do you think adding a bit of weight to the forward saucer section might help level it out? Not at just one point but maybe distributed along the forward third of it so it's also an even lateral distribution?
this is fantastically the most nerdy and greatest thing ive seen all week. Very impressive work! From watching the flight however it looks to me from here to need a little weight toward the front.
I've seen Star Trek since the 70's and I have NEVER seen any Enterprise fly for real until now. Great job! I have to echo another comment here and say although ,it isn't the smoothest RC plane online you took a ship that was never designed to fly and maybe not even originally, fictionally designed to look like it could do more than blast off from earth or perhaps be shuttled into space and you really made it fly without changing it's looks anymore than adding the prop.
Put a tail on it, of clear plastic or something that is hard to see. Maybe it will fly better. But I don't want to take away from how VERY impressed I am at what you've accomplished. Such imagination and talent! Thank you for doing it and for posting this video.
That is amazing well done. The only thing I could think that you might want to do is add some maybe small propellers on the back underneath to give the back lift so the back end is not being pulled down. That way it'll balance everything out it'll allow lifts for the back end and propulsion for the front
Nice effort. From an aeronautical engineering perspective, the starship design is a mess, and clearly not designed with flight in mind. Space? No problem. But in atmosphere? Not so much! It is cool looking, though!
says the aeronautical engineer from the 21st century with precisely zero working knowledge of 24th century anti-gravity technology; or did you forget that miniscule detail?
TheReasonForYou no. it falls when he turns. the high aoa helped it "ride" the propr thrust. once he turned the lack of yaw stability killed it and it flopped. add some clear plastic rudders to the back of the nacelles and it would handle a whole lot better.
Pat yourself on the back most people would have quit I can't wait to see part 2!! You did a fantastic job!! Maybe you should fly it to Canada and come for a visit!!
Kurn: *calls worf* You sure that your Helmsman isn’t drunk? Worf: Yes.. Kurn: Because I’m seeing your ship doing some stunts that are only for smaller ships not for big ships..
Absolutely well done on getting this to fly. You should also try a smaller version with it being a shuttle craft as this would probably be more aerodynamic and easier to fly.
THIS IS SO IMPRESSIVE!!!! TheMiro59... you are amazing!!!! This really must be sold to someone who can mass produce them!!!! Just amazing! And the 2nd video?!!!!!! Blown away!!!!! Please get these on store shelves... I would buy them for sure!!!!!
that thing is pretty cool! definitely some handling issues to work out, but it's still impressive that you got such a weird shape to fly. nice job, man.
BRAVO Thank you, you are the Chief Engineer of the Enterprise, you turn to simple math, and made her fly, hope that we will see this ship in the heavens soon. Once again thanks.
Pretty impressive! The rear seems to be dragging your lift so maybe add a horizontal prop between the nacelles for balance. Also clear props instead of orange would help "hide" them. Anyway, very nice for a scratch-build that also lights up, and flies!
Congrats for doing such a marvelous job in trying to create something like this and trying to get it to fly properly....lots of work and testing involved....HIGH 5
I agree with maladsyko. Bringing the CG forward will help stabilize the craft and make it easier to handle. All in all I am highly impressed. I wouldn't have thought this would be a viable aircraft but it looks great. Keep working with it and you'll have something even Spock would envy :)

Considering that the neither the primary nor the secondary hulls were designed as lifting bodies, this was quite a feat of modeling.
And, due to the propeller's placement on the aft of the saucer section where most Federation starships have their impulse drives; it proves that the ship's design is fully aerodynamically feasible.
Ażula Arktändr
True - but since she isn't supposed to be in the atmosphere, a Borg Cube is probably a better design :-)
Pat Doyle, we've had each other's backs before in arguments with creationists but I'm so pleased to find you're into Star Trek too.
Live long and prosper.
Joshua Brooks
You too!
Yes it would have been more aerodynamic if the saucer and other surfaces were flat on the bottom, wouldn't have looked quite as cool though.
Incredible that you got such a clunky design like the Enterprise D to actual stay in the air. That's an incredible accomplishment on your part. Thanks for sharing. :)
ralphyetmore Try the E model the Sovereign class starship from the later movies. More aerodynamic looking class of ship. Was supposed to have some atmospheric capabilities !
My Jimmy could land a washing machine if it wings....what movie is that from??
apollo 13 Right ?
No
Yeah if Kirk was onboard he'd be screaming for more power from engineering.
"Captain, warp and impulse drive is down"
"Bring the propeler on-line!"
Imran Isak
This made me burst into laughter.
Thanks!
Great comment!
Hey they still have the maneuvering thrusters to try before that...
Wasn't that where the primary impulse drive was located anyways????
Pretty sure the impulse drives are on either side of the prop.
Looks like Wesley was flying under the influence
some people has so much time in their hands, but can do better as a kite.

6 years later and I'm just now finding this awesome video! Better late than never! 👍👍
I can't get over the contrast between the epic music and how undignified this thing looks in flight.
took the words out of my mouth. I cant stop laughing.
I'm actually really impressed with the fact he got something that shape to fly that well.
That design shouldn't have flew at all. Think about that, while playing armchair engineer.
you obviously know nothing about aerodynamics...try and make one better troll
I don't think much of the negative feedback. He boldly went on where no one else would go, and succeeded. It worked. The finer points and prettiest looks are irrelevant. Just like the bumble bee. Commendable and not worthy of the bad critique. A true flagship. When is mkII to be built.?
Dude! That is great. I can't believe the original design of the Galaxy class was actually aerodynamically viable with a minimal effort. Credit to its designer Andrew Probert.

Kent to say early ones were thin right to left!
"Engineering, we're stalling out, Lt. LaForge!! More power to the propeller!!" "Aye, Captain! I'll reroute power from auxiliary LEDs!" "Make it so!"
The sheer amount of time, work, research and care in creating this is not only a testament to your ingenuity but the enduring message OF Star Trek that NOTHING is impossible to the willing mind. BRAVO SIR!

I share your love of Star Trek, TNG is not only the best Star Trek but my all time favorite TV show of all time!!! You, sir, are a true engineer!
The lights look great dude. Really cool.
I like the model. It did not really have to fly. The lights and the structure alone was very good.
Amazing! I can only imagine the motivation, dedication and hard work this project must have taken. Absolutely incredible!
I grew up watching Star Trek... This is something that I never would have imagined I would see. You did an excellent job.
My dad grew up watching Star Trek

Looks like it could use some more weight in the front, it keeps stalling. Beautiful model!
"The warp engine is MISSING, Captain!!!" This was fun to watch:-)
People you have boldly gone, and for that all within the hobby thank you. Well done. Keep treking.
They said it would never fly I'm sure. What a marvelous feat you have accomplished! Just Beautiful! That's my comment 5 years after the fact! You are an RC god.
Now build a Klingon D4 class" bird of prey" warbird, so that it has something to chase! Brilliant design, and congrats for successful flights!

Well done man! - Espacialy the bright lights - And unbelivable, that you made it really flight...!
Fantastic work, really!

Now THAT was pretty cool. It's the first Enterprise model I've seen take to the air. Well done Miro !
Looks like it needed more power and nose weight. Fantastic work though. Looks great!
That rocks dude
Looks tough to control.....but congratulations......looks pretty cool though.....
Mr. Data, I consider this time well spent...
lol! Data's response: Thank you!
The fact that it was able to fly around for a few seconds is incredible in itself. Genius!
WOW! That was amazing! You took something that wasn't designed to fly and "make it so".
That is awesome! But seeing it fly at the start I thought "Oh shit Data's drunk!"
Ladderthief1 Data was You mean deanna.
No, she wasn't the helmsman. Or was it Wesley? Shit, I've watched enough Trek you think I'd know that.
Not sure exactly what data's role was, but he did sit at the con. I think wesly plotted co-ordinates though. Not sure what data's role was. Still, your commend gave me a chuckle.
I believe science officer or something like that. The conn was on the left.
Data can't get drunk... he'd malfuction.
Captain I think the helmsman is drunk. Permission to also go where many have gone before!

tail heavy - you need to move your CG to the saucer and you need more motor and more power
I totally agree! I heard a great quote when I was a kid flying r/c at Glue Dober's in Tulsa, OK. This old man said "an F-4 Phantom jet was proof that you could fly a brick... If you have enough horsepower".
Rob Poe I think it would always be tail heavy due that giant saucer as a lifting body, compared to the lack of lifting surfaces on the engineering hull! Could possibly make a more airfoil shape out of the nacelle struts.They are horizontal on this class of ship.
I reckon even moving the thrust line up (pusher prop down) could help or move angle of incidence of the saucer down. Otherwise it's bloody impressive
You made me think of the A10 Fairchild-Republic Thunderbolt (Warthog) - its engines are angled downwards for much the same reason.
GarrisonFall I have no understanding of your techno babble but do you think adding a bit of weight to the forward saucer section might help level it out? Not at just one point but maybe distributed along the forward third of it so it's also an even lateral distribution?
this is fantastically the most nerdy and greatest thing ive seen all week. Very impressive work! From watching the flight however it looks to me from here to need a little weight toward the front.
Awesome job, sir!!! You took my most beloved Federation Starship named Enterprise, the Enterprise D, and made it FLY!!! WOOOOHOOO!!! Nice!
Beautiful work. Congrats, I love it.
Just sit back and watch the reports of ufo's go up in that area.

That way it'll balance everything out it'll allow lifts for the back end and propulsion for the front
Astonishing what a beautiful sight. Excellent work getting the USS Enterprise to fly on planet earth.
ahh fellow star trek nerds :D
Looks like Riker is on the wheel LOL 😀😀😀
Nice 👍

You sir, are a genius
Great job man, I didn't think it would fly in our atmosphere.
Looks like you had a lot of fun building this, it looks great!
Fry pans cannot fly very well/
lol now all you have to do is make the saucer section separate and both parts still fly O.o
Lord Orion that would be EPIC!
That brilliant I'd put auto stablization giros in . That being said awsome job egnore the haters
That and find a way to duct and hide the propeller.

You did a heck of a job modeling and also flying!!! You get a big thumbs up!!!
Beautiful construction, art work, and project! As in 3:51/5:37: "PREZILA!" : "It Survived!"I, AL: "Prez"!
This Video made me laugh much more than it should have.
Nice effort. From an aeronautical engineering perspective, the starship design is a mess, and clearly not designed with flight in mind. Space? No problem. But in atmosphere? Not so much!
It is cool looking, though!
says the aeronautical engineer from the 21st century with precisely zero working knowledge of 24th century anti-gravity technology; or did you forget that miniscule detail?
THE WEIGHT IT´S NOT WELL BALANCED THAT´S WHY THE SHIP FALLS AND HAS UNSTABLE FLIGHT
TheReasonForYou no. it falls when he turns. the high aoa helped it "ride" the propr thrust. once he turned the lack of yaw stability killed it and it flopped. add some clear plastic rudders to the back of the nacelles and it would handle a whole lot better.
With some weight in the nose, the problem solved
Proof that with enough thrust, ANYTHING can fly! Bravo!
Awesome, you have fulfilled the fantasies of nerds everywhere including me by proving it can be done.

Absolutely badass man just absolutely badass too bad I can't give it more than one thumbs up Star Trek fans are loving it!
Pretty impressive! The rear seems to be dragging your lift so maybe add a horizontal prop between the nacelles for balance. Also clear props instead of orange would help "hide" them. Anyway, very nice for a scratch-build that also lights up, and flies!
Congrats for doing such a marvelous job in trying to create something like this and trying to get it to fly properly....lots of work and testing involved....HIGH 5
I agree with maladsyko. Bringing the CG forward will help stabilize the craft and make it easier to handle. All in all I am highly impressed. I wouldn't have thought this would be a viable aircraft but it looks great. Keep working with it and you'll have something even Spock would envy :)
Where can I buy mines.. please soneone help me
I think all it needs to fly smooth is for you to activate the warp drive. That is something I would like to see.
What an excellent little project. Well done!
Really awsome detail. That model is surely a shelf queen.
That's pretty freakin cool!
Hat's off to this guy.
Very creative! I salute your ingenuity. Might check out inertial propulsion as a drive later on.
