It’s definitely one of the airplanes ever built.
This is what happens when you ask Burt Rutan to design a Cessna Skymaster from memory while drunk. Unfortunately, everyone misunderstands the design. This plane was supposed to fly the other way. It's a Rutan design, so that thing in the "back" is supposed to be a canard.
You need to choose carefully which engine to start.
So glad pilots keep these odd birds flying just for the fun of it.
Funny video, but actually a rather cool plane. Neat that you found one of these for your "ad"!😄
I like that it comes with nice big convenient carrying handle
Like the Cessna SkyMaster, I always wondered how they synchronize the front and rear engines? I loved the earlier model, Adam 12, when I was a kid.
There's a driveshaft that goes through the cabin underneath the seats, just like a RWD car.
Hahaha @@benderaviation
@@benderaviation it's way simpler than that... The front engine drives the rear engine aerodynamically. The rear prop works as a turbine, turning the rear engine. The rear engine provides regenerative fueling, so you land with more fuel than what you depart with. The large fuel tank is needed to avoid dumping fuel everywhere. When you get to your destination, you can sell the fuel to the FBO, offsetting some of the maintenance cost of the airplane.
Quiet you. @@JustPlaneSilly
All that Fiero needs is an engine to go in the front with that engine in the back and you got an A500 , wings optional! Funny video BrYan !
I drive by Adam Aircraft Circle everyday on my way to work. They were based at Centennial Airport south of Denver.
It’s the “push me-pull me” of airplanes!
BrYan, my compliments on actually including the Fiero's! I saw them Erik's video. I always liked the last couple of years GT model, so it was pretty cool to see them, and even funnier to see them included in the video. Ya all done well!
Two Fiero GTs at that! This guy likes to party.
Sooo many Burt Rutan cocaine filled nights for this airplanes design
All kidding aside, with recent events highlighting the problem of VMC roll, I gotta wonder if inline twins are due for a comeback. I would imagine the two main downsides are noise and cooling the rear engine (something which always bedeviled the Cessna Skymaster as I understand). Also, if you haven't already, check out the Rutan Boomerang, an outside-the-box attempt to design around that problem.
Inline twins are cool, but there isn't much of a market for new twins, and center line thrust twins are not useful for training, further reducing the potential market. The cooling of the rear engine on the A500 is apparently really good. Those scoops are way oversized.
It costs so much to certify a new airplane these days that any clean sheet light twin design is going to start at $2 million, easy. If you're rich enough to afford $2 million for a piston twin, you can afford $3 million for a turboprop Piper Malibu that will fly higher and faster and carry more stuff. Most of the new light twins made today, like the Piper Seminole or the Diamond DA42 go straight into the Embry Riddle or Lift Academy fleets.
A friend that I had to work with a few times said that he would want the Adam A500 if he had an airplane. I was shocked that someone else knew what it was.
Sitting here with hurt in my heart, that was the perfect video to make me laugh.
I knew that was you sitting in the back left seat for about 1.3 seconds. Nice plane.
BrYan, I like your cameos in the Gold Seal IFR course.
oooh! I would buy this just for the 2 Fieros! 2 rolling death traps!
I’ve been dreaming of buying a Fiero and now I know how to get one!
HAHA. Super simple.
HA! Hilarious Bryan! I have to say though the Mooney was your best vintage airplane video. That’s right baby, DONUTS, 😂😂😂
I like that one too but everybody hated the voice so I switched to this guy
I’m so stoked for this! It’s been a while since you did a review.
I am going to revive this series for another year.
What a cool bird.
Bahahaha! First Oshkosh I ever got to attend Adam was there.
Love it! ❤️🤣Great job brother! Ahhaahhh! You did a silent collab with Erik hahaha. That’s awesome!
I would love to see more of these style videos on some of the other crazy planes he’s filmed.
👍✅ Cool plane, great video BrYan. Love this series!
Bryan, you my friend are hilarious. Please never change!
Very silly, thanks Bryan!
I’m glad to see a few flying! Or, at least, one.
I remember the heady days in the 80s when Adam, OMAC, Avtek, LearFan, etc. were trying to make a go of it.
Nice companion piece to your flight!
Nice trip to Forney for you!
I had no idea any of these were still flying. A colleague and I visited the company when they were still around to see if we could help them with the interior noise issues. They didn't retain our services, which obviously is the only reason why AdamAir no longer exists...
i supplied a cnc mill and cad/cam to these guys back then. they were beyond hopeless. turns out they only wanted the equipment to impress investors. everyting was auctioned off within a year.
Another airplane I want but can't fit into a normal hangar. No Queen Airs, Starships, and now the Adam Five-hunnert. I'll stick with my lowly Baron.
The centre line twins always make me wonder what people with a multi engine rating think of the blue line?!?! Twice the engines for three times the running cost 🙂
Nice 1988 Pontiac Fieros
Tail looks like they've stolen the spoiler off of a '69 Dodge Charger Daytona.
Or by a Bonanza and get similar performance
All this drama for just 220? Also, Fiero didn't come from the factory with leather - pleather, maybe....
An other example of not following the Rutan advise, the Addams and the beech Starbarge, both over weight and slow! And no longer being made!
Adception
That airplane has nostrils...
One of the 2 or 3 of these things every built and/or still flying (I'm kinda remembering the tail number of the one in the video) passed through my FBO a couple years ago. I'd never heard of this thing before meeting it so had no idea of the backstory, which I immediately googled as I watched it taxi away. Geez, what a horrible plane. Why anybody but an uber-rich collector of rare aviation brainfarts would buy one is beyond me. But if I was such a person, a Rutan brainfart would be something to buy at any cost. But really, that's all the Adams has going for it today.
I Don't Want It! It looks 1970's Plymouth Superbird, P-38 lightning, and Epic 1000's ugly child that didn't get to be a turboprop!
That plane really sucks. And blows.
I hope to bump into you at Oshkosh BrYan. NORM, in Australia.😎
