Originally designed with the propellers spinning the same way as in the P-38; propeller tips meeting on the upward swing, towards the center. However, it would not take off, so the engines and propellers were swapped; tips meeting downwards towards the center. Took a month to figure out the problem, but the alteration worked.
@@carlosandleon, apparently, the problem was the odd aerodynamics of twin counterrotating propellers. Swapping the engines and propellers side to side solved it.

While the 40mm gun pod didn't make it onto the F-82, there was a pod with six .50 caliber machine guns and (if memory serves) 2000 rounds of ammunition that did. That made for 12 .50 caliber machine guns firing down the center line of the plane. Not a small amount of lead downrange per second, and it had the advantage of all the guns having the same ballistic properties, so that range, muzzle velocity, and thereby aiming, were simplified.
Twin a380s make a lot of sense. Particularly if they had their own private airports, and just hauled cargo. Since you could build the airport outside of population centers, shouldn't be too hard to find cheap land. Since it's just a cargo airport, all you need besides the landing strip, is fuel, a tower, a parking lot, and a coffee pot. Baby specially designed cargo pods that double as trailers. Like folding landing gear and hitch, so you don't even need a crane. Maybe a little electric drive so they could load and unload themselves. Nothing fancy just need to get to the yard mule, or a tractor. Something something profit.

It is nice to see you cover one of my favorites, the F-82 Twin Mustang. Small error with your graphic at 5:40 - 5:45 -ish. The narration is correct that the primary pilot in control position was *the plane's* left-hand cockpit. However, the onscreen graphic has the positions of the two crewmen reversed. It is indicating the pilot is on the *viewer's* left, which is the plane's right-hand cockpit.
@@hifinsword That is true of every fixed-wing aircraft I ever flew here in the U.S. Helicopters, on the other hand, generally have the right seat as Pilot-in-Command. I think the animator simply heard "left" and so he made the graphic point to his, i.e. the audience left and didn't think about "left" as if you are operating the aircraft. A simple mistake to make but also something that should've been caught by the editor before the video was published.
9:04 Gotta be the most Russian thing I've ever seen. P.S. I doubt there will ever be a double fuselage passenger plane. Supposedly there isn't a market for giant passenger planes any more, and maybe more importantly, I don't think most people are going to want to sit on the outer most seats when the plane would be banking, that's the same issue (even more so) with the large flying wing designs that seemed popular a decade or so ago.
I'm glad they pointed out that while RESEMBLING 2 mustangs bolted together, there were huge differences in the actual Airframes. In fact, IIRC there was something like a total of only 3-4 parts that were common between the P-51, and the F-82. Oh, and one small thing made my eye twitch.....the "Last Piston-Engine Fighter Jet".....line
you are so correct, you must know about Tom Reillys P-82 that he restored and is in Titusville FL at the VAC museum.....it was the prototype for the P-82, later designated the F-82 when the Air Force was formed in 1947......
I like the idea of some guy spending months working on his dream plane and this is his chance to make it happen and then some guys who just strapped 2 p51s together beat him.
Respect to your modelling skills.. I think you mentioned you make them? whoever is making them their skills are getting better, I wonder where the maker finds the blueprints or references for the more obscure airplane that often only have one or two photos..
Great Video, I was building an 85% scale of the F-82 and I was going to use twin Falconer V-12s When I was diagnosed with Parkinsons, So I stopped, DANG....
The next BIG thing in commercial appears to be the Blended Wing Body (BWB) and not oversized twin fuselage monsters which require special runways and terminals.
A BWB design also requires special terminals, plus has some weird issues with evacuation of passengers in an emergency. But both approaches are viable.
At 4:25 "Its small fuel tank".... The P-51D had 5 gas tanks. 1 in each wing. 1 behind the pilot. And 1 under each wing. The P-82 was conceptualized due to the P-51s two "cruise settings" of 225 and 275 mph could knowhere near keep up with the new B-29s 350 mph cruising speed.
To test out how a pilot/copilot would fly. They pulled the turbo supercharger from the right engine of a P38. They then put a cockpit with no controls in its place. NA found that there was no challenges to the crewman in the design.
Modern aircraft design trends often no longer depend on the shape of the arrow but the superior performance I feel for the solutions of modern aircraft designers.
Quite of but not actually , you see the P-38 is list in the twin boom design , meanwhile the twin fuselage is fuse 2 fuselage to make a plane for example the F-82 and the Bf 109z , but the P-38 is also similiar so it like at the between of those two , but i say the P-38 is a twin boom design
As other said, the P38 is twin-boom, not twin-fuse. Like the Noratlas or the C-119. The main difference is, you got the engines extending into the tail booms, but the main controls and cargo/pax remain in a central position, whereas double cockpit has those off the center line.
For a vision of what creative engineering could have done with this plane, check out the Gingrich/Forstchen novel "1945" where, at the climax, the US has only 3-4 weeks to come up with some way to fight a horde of Nazi jet aircraft with advanced weapons to save the UK from invasion. The hero, along with a young Kelly Johnson, describe a system for swapping Merlin engines into the P-82's and adding in an experimental rocket booster so that the P-82's could fly across the Atlantic, and then, along with carrier-launched aviation with similar boosters, outfly the Gothas and Messerschmitts. Note to Newt: we are still waiting for the sequel to this since 1996!
I watched a documentary about the XP-82. There are actually only two air frame parts that will interchange with the P-51. So it's not two P-51's just stuck together.
3:14. Arnisal?! It's AR-SI-NAL. Ar-ni-sal! This guy cracks me up. I come just to hear him mispronounce words every week. Never disappointed. I love the English hacking their own language.
The first time I saw the twin mustang I thought what in the hell were they thinking?!?!? Then I flew it in a sim and went ooohhhhh, yup. Yup, yup, yup. More guns, more fuel, more engines, more crew that can fly the plane after taking hits, not quite as maneuverable but still a great bomber interceptor and ground attack aircraft
The Dual C-5 For the shuttle was a proposition for a Carrier Plane, not an air-launch platform. The shuttle REQUIRED the ET and SRBS to get into orbit, as it only carried minimal fuel for orbital insertion and maneuvering onboard. The real advantages to an air-launch platform are minimal, as they are only able to provide a fraction of a percentage of the energy required to get to orbit, as most of the energy required is horizontal kinetic energy, not gravitational due to altitude. The Shuttle Carrier Aircraft bid was to transport the Shuttles From Mojave back to the Cape Canaveral Launch Site, as the Florida Shuttle landing site had not been built at the start of the program, as well as to do atmospheric drop tests in the development phase.
The F 82 was originally called the P 82. It was designed with 2 cockpits because of the huge distance the P 51 had to fly in the missions from the Marianas to Japan. There were more losses from storms and pilot exhaustion than from actual combat against the Japanese.
In all actuality, it wasn't really a two P-51 Mustangs built on a common wing. To save design time, they did use parts from a Mustang, but the rear of the fuselages was totally different in design. The speed that they built it in, for the war, was by using some of the parts from the Mustang, but there were other airplanes that used parts from prior designs as well, to speed up the design work.
@@rocketremity9571 Yes, it does. Funny story: I used to make smoothies and stuff at McDonald's, but one day, I turned the machine on without putting the pitcher in place. Smoothie mix went everywhere. I was so mad at myself, especially since yours truly spent ten minutes trying to clean that up.
Interesting video. Should have mentioned the F-82's career in the Korean War as a night fighter. You kinda touched on the F-82's role as as all weather interceptor in Alaska in the late 40's.
The radar pod is inaccurate for the versions shown - it was only carried by the nightfighter variants. And they didn't carry external ordnance, AFAIK, tanks only. The tanks shown would never have been mounted that close to the central pod (as well as radar, a pod mounting extra guns was tested but not proceeded with), as the interference drag would have been terrible.
As a non-engineer, I must ask, for a fuel efficient airliner, why not have twin fuselages at the ends with all the wing in-between. Wouldn’t this eliminate the wingtip vortices problem?
This was great! Would love to see you do more videos about twin fuselage designs. Especially the ones mentioned here, like the Stratolaunch and Twin Concord!
5:18 Obviously neither the animator nor the narrator understood the concept of a "dorsal fillet" (not "filler"). That's the triangular part in front of the fin, enlarging the area of aerodynamic surfaces that provide directional stability. It is considerably larger on the P-82 than it was on the P-51 (where it also was only introduced with later versions.) Nobody in the business would call the elevator/stabilizer mounted between the fuselages a "filler". It is also essential for flight stability with a conventional wing, and not just "in case of engine failure". What you DO want in that case is additional directional stability, provided with vertical surfaces. Calling the fuel capacity and range of the P-51 small is also kinda ironic. The Mustang's main claim to fame is that it allowed the daytime bombing raids to Germany as it had enough range to escort the bombers over the target German cities. It had exceptional range for a single engined fighter for the time.
Before anyone asks -- that big torpedo-like thingy hanging from the P-82's center wing? That was its radar pod. They called it the Long Dong. Should be obvious why. (tee hee hee)
Stratolaunch has since pivoted away from space launches to trying to offer the vehicle to test hypersonics, mainly because no one wants to build an air launch rocket for them.
It was meant to be fought over germany to battle Me264, Bf109 but decided to go over to the pacific islands since the b25 fortress can barely make it to japan before turning around and f82 where escorts for the bombers.
The twin p-51 has guns and an optional gun pod in the center, the gun sights I dont know, its probably like driving a car or 2 seat cargo plane, you on the right the other guy on the left, you still see the front as if your on the left

5:18 Obviously neither the animator nor the narrator understood the concept of a "dorsal fillet" (not "filler"). That's the triangular part in front of the fin, enlarging the area of aerodynamic surfaces that provide directional stability. It is considerably larger on the P-82 than it was on the P-51 (where it also was only introduced with later versions.)
Nobody in the business would call the elevator/stabilizer mounted between the fuselages a "filler". It is also essential for flight stability with a conventional wing, and not just "in case of engine failure". What you DO want in that case is additional directional stability, provided with vertical surfaces.
Calling the fuel capacity and range of the P-51 small is also kinda ironic. The Mustang's main claim to fame is that it allowed the daytime bombing raids to Germany as it had enough range to escort the bombers over the target German cities. It had exceptional range for a single engined fighter for the time.
Before anyone asks -- that big torpedo-like thingy hanging from the P-82's center wing? That was its radar pod.
They called it the Long Dong. Should be obvious why. (tee hee hee)
That p82 was an excellent night fighters I used to have a model of it
I really enjoyed the knife plug!
the passenger jets with twin jets between the fuselages is going to make for some noisy seats.
Stratolaunch has since pivoted away from space launches to trying to offer the vehicle to test hypersonics, mainly because no one wants to build an air launch rocket for them.
I don't know how many plane crash videos I've seen where the pilots got confused by each other
Rip an-225

The DOUBLE DROOP SNOOT
04:23 "its small fuel tank.." Actually P-51 had enormous fuel tank and great range!
P51 to P38: hey can i copy your homework?
P38: yes but change it a little bit
imagine sleeping in your twin mustang while your mate is fighting off enemy fighters
him:talking about him and his upgraded professional kitchen with a cool knife

I'd love to see you make a video on the SaRo SR45 Princess,
it's the luxury vessel among sea planes
Next up, the asymmetric aircraft, such as the Blohm & Voss BV 141 and the Rutan Boomerang?..
Ah yes, the flying flamethrower that cuts your wing in half in 0.3 seconds in Wart Hunder.
It was meant to be fought over germany to battle Me264, Bf109 but decided to go over to the pacific islands since the b25 fortress can barely make it to japan before turning around and f82 where escorts for the bombers.
How do you reliably target the enemy when you are sat off axis and at least some of your weapons are even further off axis?
The twin p-51 has guns and an optional gun pod in the center, the gun sights I dont know, its probably like driving a car or 2 seat cargo plane, you on the right the other guy on the left, you still see the front as if your on the left
I guess 14 freakin' .50 cals could hit the target reliably
@@marcellus_h7930 good point, lol
