  • The World Heritage Air Museum's de Havilland DH-112 Venom, the only one flying in the US, starts with a bang using the cartridge starter system! The aircraft departed for a short test flight before returning to the WHAM hangar at Oakland County International Airport in Michigan. This aircraft will join WHAM's Vampire and Gloster Meteor at EAA AirVenture 2018 in Oshkosh.
    This aircraft and pilot Marty Tibbitts were lost in a fatal crash in Sheboygan, WI one week after this was filmed. RIP Marty...

    I am sorry to hear that this aircraft and pilot were lost RIP. I served with the RAF for 14 years,
    and I am familiar with the Venom. In this video I was listening to the aircraft engine as it was taxying , I was thinking that the engine was sounding a bit rough and uneven, I was surprised when it took off and flew when it was sounding so rough when taxying.

(followed by the Mirage 3 with their thundering sound) Miss these old birds.

    Yes...as the late test pilot and astronaut John Young said in the late 1990s or early 2000s (regarding the aging Space Shuttle orbiters), old aircraft can have unexpected failure modes that "can bite you in the least expected ways." I doubt if any of their designers and builders ever dreamed that B-25s, P-51s, and early jet fighters would still be flying 70+ years after they were built. Those who own and fly them, including the late and to-be-lamented-and-remembered Marty Tibbitts are, however, aware of the potential risks of flying such old aircraft, and "baby" them accordingly. I must admit to having mixed feelings about seeing them continue to fly, however:
    Only so many of these aircraft, from those times, are still in existence, and--in addition to the occasional serious and fatal accidents involving them--with each hull loss there is one fewer around. It would be safer, and would preserve the original aircraft, if replicas were built and flown (even duplicate--down to the old-style wiring--replicas, such as the Messerschmitts and/or Focke-Wulfs that have been built and fly, are new aircraft, and thus are not subject to the failure modes of old age). A replica of the German Me-262 jet fighter (powered by modern CJ610 turbojets, housed in detailed duplicate Junkers 004 Jumo engine housings) has also been built and flown.

      @@izaak1509 What makes aircraft so expensive is the high number of man hours it takes to design, test, build production lines, train workers and then actually build them.
      Much of the construction is intricate. And the design, tooling development costs on replicas would be spread out across very few units.
      And then there is the liability insurance issue .

      @machinech183 3 года назад +4

      For many of us, including the rare few able to actually fly these, the bigger crime would be letting them sit idle and decrepit. They were never built to be simple showpieces. Revere them certainly, preserve one if you can, but don't decry those willing and able to fly them. Stick a replica on display if you will. Not a single person involved in the operation or maintenance of these aircraft are ignorant of the risks. They, like many, feel it is worth it. Best wishes to all.

Very easy to set up another field and very handy for early jets as they had a reliable method of restart in the air. Imagine all the batteries you would need to carry for 5 restarts far better using that capacity for bombs or ammo. The ME262 used a little 2 stroke engine to get started great idea however not so good inflight. Zip start just like a lawnmower. If I remember correctly even the Brits Jet Bombers had a cartridge start fitted.

Some piston-engined aircraft (such as the Fairchild C-82 Packet, featured in the 1966 movie [and one or two re-makes] "Flight of the Phoenix") have also used starting cartridges to crank the engine or engines (a shotgun shell-like cartridge without a slug or shot, in the case of the C-82).

    AEROTECH, a leading model rocket engine maker, got their start making power cartridges for tooling in the oil-drilling business.
    Down-hole tools are powered pyrotechnically: the distances from drilling rig to bore-hole end make hydraulic or electrically powered tools impractical.
    The cartridges burn for about 3-5 seconds, and produce a large volume of gas to run pneumatic tools like drills and wrenches.
    Not saying these cartridges are AEROTECH, but the technology sure looks similar!

The turbine wheel turns with up 58000min-1 and is two times reduced with planet gears to 1500min-1. It is a mechanical beauty, producing 125HP and has several other features as centrifuge revolution control, overrun protection, maximum momentum friction clutch.

    Sehr tragisch und bedauerlich, mein herzliches Beileid für die Angehörigen von Marty Tibbitts. - Diese Venom da stammt wohl aus der Schweiz, vermute ich mal. Als ich jung war konnte ich diese Flugzeuge bei uns in der Schweiz immer fliegen sehen. Sogar beim Uebungs-Schiessen auf Seeziele in den Sempachersee damals war das für mich ein gewohnter Anblick. - Vielleicht sollt man jetzt diese Maschinen nicht mehr fliegen, sondern nur noch im Museum ausstellen.

    I was thinking that it sure didn't look very stable and then I read that both the plane and the pilot were lost in a fatal crash, so sad.

    Here in South Africa we still have Vampires in our Airforce Museum. Can anyone tell me what the difference between the Venom and the Vampire is? Looks awfully similar.

      Vampires are made of wood and resin reinforced canvas..yesyes..haha..I had the opportunity to sit in one at the flight museum in Switzerland..and the Vampires are made of metal and had 2 external fuel containers at the end of the wings and a more powerfull engine of course..

      What was great about that era in aviation was that everything was advancing and they experimented with everything. Does this shape fly? What if we put this engine on it instead? That's why very few designs stayed in military service more than a couple of years before something new was introduced.

    • @silverfox9303
      @silverfox9303 3 года назад

      @@CharlesHuse The reason for the design was actually quite simple, the early jet engines couldn't tolerate long intakes or tail pipes, the answer in most was two wing mounted engines as in Me 262, Gloster Meteor etc. Using a single engine would result in a short stubby aircraft, Th DH family of jets got round this with the twin boom configuration, giving length and keeping the tail plane above the jet efflux. In their day both the Venom and the Vampire were remarkable aircraft, both types used in land and naval operations, the Sea versions could take off and land on RN carriers
