57
00:03:11,706 --> 00:03:14,207
THE HISTORY OF PLANES.
58
00:03:14,209 --> 00:03:16,743
THE HISTORY OF PLANES?
59
00:03:16,745 --> 00:03:18,243
HOW COOL!
60
00:03:18,245 --> 00:03:19,713
CAN'T WAIT!

THIS IS GOING TO BE
AN INCREDIBLE ADVENTURE!
65
00:03:31,192 --> 00:03:35,095
WHAT CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT THE HISTORY
OF PLANES, COMMANDER AIRHEAD?
66
00:03:35,097 --> 00:03:38,731
WELL, THE DESIRE
TO CREATE A FLYING MACHINE
67
00:03:38,733 --> 00:03:41,701
IS AS OLD AS HUMANKIND,
68
00:03:41,703 --> 00:03:44,938
BUT IT WASN'T UNTIL
200 YEARS AGO
69
00:03:44,940 --> 00:03:49,075
THAT THE TRUE CONCEPT
OF AN AIRPLANE CAME TO BE.
70
00:03:49,077 --> 00:03:51,810
WOW, I CAN'T WAIT
TO FIND OUT MORE!
71
00:03:51,812 --> 00:03:53,980
THE HISTORY OF AIRPLANES.
72
00:03:53,982 --> 00:03:57,183
SOUNDS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!
73
00:03:57,185 --> 00:03:59,785
AS YOU KNOW,
VROOMER AND GUMDROP,
74
00:03:59,787 --> 00:04:03,089
TO WIN THE ANNUAL
PLANES WITH BRAINS CONTEST,
75
00:04:03,091 --> 00:04:05,759
YOU MUST FIND OUT AND LEARN
76
00:04:05,761 --> 00:04:09,195
TONS OF AMAZING FACTS
ABOUT AIRPLANES.
77
00:04:09,197 --> 00:04:10,997
YES, COMMANDER AIRHEAD.
78
00:04:10,999 --> 00:04:12,197

00:04:12,199 --> 00:04:13,298
WE WILL!
80
00:04:13,300 --> 00:04:14,968
EXCELLENT.
81
00:04:14,970 --> 00:04:17,703
YOU MUST ALSO KNOW
THAT THERE IS A QUESTION
82
00:04:17,705 --> 00:04:22,908
THAT ALL THE BRIGHTEST FLYING
MINDS ALL OVER THE WORLD SKIES
83
00:04:22,910 --> 00:04:24,977
HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO ANSWER
84
00:04:24,979 --> 00:04:27,913
ABOUT THE HISTORY
OF AIRPLANES.
85
00:04:27,915 --> 00:04:30,249
WE NEED YOU TWO
WINGED SCOUTS
86
00:04:30,251 --> 00:04:34,220
TO HELP US ANSWER
THE "WHO FLEW" QUESTION
87
00:04:34,222 --> 00:04:37,090
ABOUT THE HISTORY
OF AIRPLANES.
88
00:04:37,092 --> 00:04:38,992
"WHO FLEW" QUESTION?
89
00:04:38,994 --> 00:04:40,326
LOVE IT!
90
00:04:40,328 --> 00:04:42,461
WHAT IS THE QUESTION,
COMMANDER AIRHEAD?
91
00:04:42,463 --> 00:04:44,797
WHEN DID THE FIRST
92
00:04:44,799 --> 00:04:49,035
AND LONGEST UNMANNED
AIRCRAFT FLIGHT TAKE PLACE?
93
00:04:49,037 --> 00:04:52,706
THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION,
COMMANDER AIRHEAD.
94
00:04:52,708 --> 00:04:55,074
WE'LL LAND THE ANSWER
IN A SPIN OF A PROPELLER,
95
00:04:55,076 --> 00:04:56,943
I'M SURE.
96
00:04:56,945 --> 00:05:00,446
I WILL ASSIGN YOU
THE BEST WINGED SCOUT HELPER

00:05:00,448 --> 00:05:01,980
IN THE WORLD.
98
00:05:01,982 --> 00:05:04,016
HIS NAME IS WILLY WIDGET.
99
00:05:04,018 --> 00:05:08,153
HE'S A ROBOTIC ENCYCLOPEDIA
OF AIRCRAFT KNOWLEDGE.
100
00:05:08,155 --> 00:05:11,090
HE WILL ASSIST YOU
ON YOUR MISSION.

WE LOVE WILLY WIDGET.
103
00:05:14,929 --> 00:05:19,299
BE SURE TO ASK A LOT
OF QUESTIONS, WINGED SCOUTS.
104
00:05:19,301 --> 00:05:22,201
THE PRESTIGIOUS
PLANES WITH BRAINS AWARD
105
00:05:22,203 --> 00:05:23,903
IS UP FOR GRABS.
106
00:05:23,905 --> 00:05:25,437
YAY!
107
00:05:25,439 --> 00:05:28,073
WINGED SCOUTS READY TO FLY,
COMMANDER AIRHEAD.
108
00:05:28,075 --> 00:05:29,374
WINGED SCOUTS.
109
00:05:29,376 --> 00:05:31,845
VROOM, VROOM!
110
00:05:31,847 --> 00:05:33,912
HOORAY!
111
00:05:46,061 --> 00:05:48,294
WINGED SCOUTS!
112
00:05:48,296 --> 00:05:50,797
READY TO GET STARTED
ON YOUR NEXT ADVENTURE?
113
00:05:50,799 --> 00:05:53,066
YES, SUPER READY.
114
00:05:53,068 --> 00:05:54,199
TOTALLY READY.
115
00:05:54,201 --> 00:05:55,934
REMEMBER, WINGED SCOUTS,
116
00:05:55,936 --> 00:05:57,369
ANY AND ALL QUESTIONS YOU HAVE,
117
00:05:57,371 --> 00:06:00,006
I'M HERE TO ANSWER THEM.
118
00:06:00,008 --> 00:06:01,807
WHERE DO WE BEGIN?
119
00:06:01,809 --> 00:06:06,311
BACK IN TIME MORE THAN
2,000 YEARS AGO IN GREECE.
120
00:06:06,313 --> 00:06:08,982
YOU SEE,
ANCIENT PEOPLE WERE INSPIRED
121
00:06:08,984 --> 00:06:13,186
BY THE OBSERVATION OF BIRDS
SOARING THROUGH THE SKY,
122
00:06:13,188 --> 00:06:17,056
AND DESIGNED AIRCRAFTS THAT COPIED
THE BEATING OF A BIRD'S WINGS.
123
00:06:17,058 --> 00:06:20,826
THESE MACHINES ARE KNOWN
AS ORNITHOPTERS.
124
00:06:20,828 --> 00:06:23,396
WITH ORNITHOPTERS,
THE FLAPPING WINGS
125
00:06:23,398 --> 00:06:26,232
GENERATED BOTH LIFT
AND PROPULSION.
126
00:06:26,234 --> 00:06:29,968
ONE OF THE EARLIEST KNOWN
EXAMPLES OF THIS TYPE OF MACHINE
127
00:06:29,970 --> 00:06:31,504
IS THE WOODEN BIRD,
128
00:06:31,506 --> 00:06:33,973
DESIGNED BY GREEK SCIENTIST,
129
00:06:33,975 --> 00:06:37,811
PHILOSOPHER AND MATHEMATICIAN,
ARCHYTAS OF TARENTUM
130
00:06:37,813 --> 00:06:39,978
IN 400 B.C.
131
00:06:39,980 --> 00:06:42,549
EVEN THOUGH SOME OF
THESE ANCIENT MACHINES
132
00:06:42,551 --> 00:06:44,583
TOOK OFF FOR
A FEW SHORT FLIGHTS,
133
00:06:44,585 --> 00:06:46,585
THEY REMAIN IMPRACTICAL.
134
00:06:46,587 --> 00:06:49,288
WHOA!
135
00:06:49,290 --> 00:06:52,090
TO TRACE THE BEGINNING
OF THE HISTORY OF FLIGHT,
136
00:06:52,092 --> 00:06:54,427
WE HAVE TO TRAVEL IN TIME
137
00:06:54,429 --> 00:06:58,530
ALL THE WAY
TO THE 16TH, 17TH,
138
00:06:58,532 --> 00:07:00,165
AND 18TH CENTURIES.
139
00:07:00,167 --> 00:07:02,268
LET'S TAKE A TOUR
AROUND EUROPE
140
00:07:02,270 --> 00:07:04,403
AND MEET SOME OF
THE GREAT THINKERS
141
00:07:04,405 --> 00:07:08,006
WHO PAVED THE WAY
FOR THE EVOLUTION OF AIRPLANES.
142
00:07:08,008 --> 00:07:09,210
YEAH!
143
00:07:13,314 --> 00:07:16,282
IN ITALY,
THE NETHERLANDS, AND ENGLAND,
144
00:07:16,284 --> 00:07:19,052
MATHEMATICIANS,
SCIENTISTS, AND INVENTORS
145
00:07:19,054 --> 00:07:20,953
LIKE LEONARDO DA VINCI,
146
00:07:20,955 --> 00:07:22,388
GALILEO GALILEI,
147
00:07:22,390 --> 00:07:25,090
CHRISTIAAN HUYGENS
AND ISAAC NEWTON
148
00:07:25,092 --> 00:07:27,559
ALL CONTRIBUTED
THE FIRST RESEARCH
149
00:07:27,561 --> 00:07:29,494
INTO AERODYNAMICS.
150
00:07:29,496 --> 00:07:33,299
WHAT'S AERODYNAMICS,
WILLY WIDGET?
151
00:07:33,301 --> 00:07:35,367
"AERO" MEANS AIR
152
00:07:35,369 --> 00:07:37,970
AND "DYNAMICS" MEANS MOTION,
153
00:07:37,972 --> 00:07:42,141
SO, AERODYNAMICS
DEALS WITH THE DYNAMICS OF AIR
154
00:07:42,143 --> 00:07:45,011
AS IT INTERACTS
WITH SOLID OBJECTS,
155
00:07:45,013 --> 00:07:46,446
LIKE AN AIRPLANE!
156
00:07:46,448 --> 00:07:50,482
DID YOU KNOW YOU TWO GUYS
EXPERIENCE AERODYNAMICS
157
00:07:50,484 --> 00:07:52,552
EVERY TIME YOU FLY?
158
00:07:52,554 --> 00:07:54,353
INCREDIBLE!
159
00:07:54,355 --> 00:07:58,157
HIT MY PLANE BRAIN WITH MORE
COOL FACTOIDS, WILLY WIDGET.
160
00:07:58,159 --> 00:08:02,194
IT WASN'T UNTIL
THE TURN OF THE 18TH CENTURY
161
00:08:02,196 --> 00:08:05,230
WHEN AN ENGLISH BARONET
NAMED GEORGE CAYLEY
162
00:08:05,232 --> 00:08:08,201
TURNED FLYING THEORY
INTO REALITY
163
00:08:08,203 --> 00:08:10,903
BY BEING THE FIRST
TO FOCUS HIS ATTENTION
164
00:08:10,905 --> 00:08:13,639
ON FIXED-WING AIRCRAFTS
165
00:08:13,641 --> 00:08:15,174
LIKE MODERN AIRPLANES
166
00:08:15,176 --> 00:08:17,410
AS OPPOSED TO
THE EARLIER AIRCRAFTS
167
00:08:17,412 --> 00:08:19,578
WITH BEATING WINGS
LIKE BIRDS'.
168
00:08:19,580 --> 00:08:23,615
HE WAS A PIONEER
OF AERONAUTICAL ENGINEERING
169
00:08:23,617 --> 00:08:29,321
WHO, IN 1804, FLEW THE FIRST
SUCCESSFUL FLYING GLIDER...
170
00:08:29,323 --> 00:08:33,092
OR A NON-MOTOR-POWERED
FLYING MACHINE... ON RECORD.
171
00:08:33,094 --> 00:08:37,429
BLASTING
ENGINES, THAT'S AMAZING.
172
00:08:37,431 --> 00:08:42,068
IN 1853, GEORGE CAYLEY LAUNCHED
AND FLEW THE FIRST GLIDER
173
00:08:42,070 --> 00:08:45,637
EVER RECORDED
TO CARRY A PERSON ONBOARD.
174
00:08:45,639 --> 00:08:47,607
VERY INTERESTING.
175
00:08:47,609 --> 00:08:50,175
WHAT HAPPENED NEXT,
WILLY WIDGET?
176
00:08:50,177 --> 00:08:52,377
EXCELLENT QUESTION, GUMDROP.
177
00:08:52,379 --> 00:08:55,714
IN THE 1870S,
OTTO LILIENTHAL,
178
00:08:55,716 --> 00:08:58,083
A GERMAN MECHANICAL ENGINEER,
179
00:08:58,085 --> 00:08:59,718
FOLLOWED IN CAYLEY'S FOOTSTEPS
180
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:03,522
AND LAUNCHED A SERIES
OF VERY IMPORTANT STUDIES
181
00:09:03,524 --> 00:09:04,958
ON WING DESIGN.
182
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:08,428
LILIENTHAL DESIGNED,
BUILT AND FLEW
183
00:09:08,430 --> 00:09:11,964
A NUMBER OF MONOPLANE
AND BIPLANE GLIDERS,
184
00:09:11,966 --> 00:09:15,468
ACCOMPLISHING
AS MANY AS 2,000 FLIGHTS
185
00:09:15,470 --> 00:09:19,405
BETWEEN 1890 AND 1896.
186
00:09:19,407 --> 00:09:22,174
WHOA! FUN FACTOID.
187
00:09:22,176 --> 00:09:25,078
BUT HOW WE DID WE GET
FROM THOSE REALLY COOL GLIDERS
188
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:28,213
TO WINGED AIRPLANES WITH ENGINES
LIKE US, WILLY WIDGET?
189
00:09:28,215 --> 00:09:31,049
THAT'S A VERY GOOD QUESTION,
VROOMER.
190
00:09:31,051 --> 00:09:33,352
LET'S TAKE A TRIP
TO THE UNITED STATES
191
00:09:33,354 --> 00:09:35,688
AND MEET THE WRIGHT BROTHERS.
192
00:09:35,690 --> 00:09:38,657
WHOO-HOO!
193
00:09:38,659 --> 00:09:41,361
THE WRIGHT
BROTHERS, ORVILLE AND WILBUR
194
00:09:41,363 --> 00:09:45,530
WERE TWO AMERICAN INVENTORS
AND AVIATION PIONEERS
195
00:09:45,532 --> 00:09:51,103
WHO BUILT AND FLEW THE WORLD'S
FIRST SUCCESSFUL AIRPLANE.
196
00:09:51,105 --> 00:09:53,705
THEIR LIFELONG DREAM CAME TRUE
197
00:09:53,707 --> 00:09:56,409
WHEN ORVILLE TOOK TO THE SKY
198
00:09:56,411 --> 00:09:59,344
IN THE FIRST EVER
MOTOR-POWERED,
199
00:09:59,346 --> 00:10:01,580
HEAVIER-THAN-AIR AIRCRAFT
200
00:10:01,582 --> 00:10:06,486
CALLED "THE FLYER"
ON DECEMBER 17TH, 1903,
201
00:10:06,488 --> 00:10:09,521
FOUR MILES SOUTH
OF KITTY HAWK, NORTH CAROLINA.
202
00:10:09,523 --> 00:10:12,357
WHAT WAS THE FLYER MADE OF,
WILLY WIDGET?
203
00:10:12,359 --> 00:10:16,128
THE FLYER WAS MADE USING
A STRONG AND LIGHTWEIGHT WOOD
204
00:10:16,130 --> 00:10:17,630
FROM THE GIANT SPRUCE TREE
205
00:10:17,632 --> 00:10:20,032
AS THE MAIN
CONSTRUCTION MATERIAL,
206
00:10:20,034 --> 00:10:23,136
AND MUSLIN,
A LIGHTWEIGHT COTTON CLOTH,
207
00:10:23,138 --> 00:10:24,737
WAS USED
FOR SURFACE COVERINGS.
208
00:10:24,739 --> 00:10:28,373
EVEN THE FLYER'S PROPELLERS
WERE MADE OF WOOD.
209
00:10:28,375 --> 00:10:30,175
OH, WHOA, WILLY WIDGET.
210
00:10:30,177 --> 00:10:32,310
FACTOID COOLER
THAN RAIN CLOUDS
211
00:10:32,312 --> 00:10:34,447
AFTER A SPRING SHOWER.
212
00:10:34,449 --> 00:10:36,748
HOW WAS THE FLYER POWERED,
WILLY WIDGET?
213
00:10:36,750 --> 00:10:39,218
EXCELLENT QUESTION, VROOMER.
214
00:10:39,220 --> 00:10:42,454
ORVILLE AND WILBUR
HAD A GASOLINE ENGINE
215
00:10:42,456 --> 00:10:46,092
FABRICATED IN THEIR BICYCLE SHOP
JUST FOR THE FLYER.
216
00:10:46,094 --> 00:10:49,328
THE ENGINE WAS FAIRLY SIMPLE
IN CONSTRUCTION,
217
00:10:49,330 --> 00:10:52,698
BUT IT PROVIDED EXACTLY
THE POWER REQUIRED
218
00:10:52,700 --> 00:10:54,766
TO PROPEL THEIR AIRCRAFT.
219
00:10:54,768 --> 00:10:56,736
WHAT ABOUT STEERING
AND PILOTING
220
00:10:56,738 --> 00:10:58,471
THESE EARLY PLANES,
WILLY WIDGET?
221
00:10:58,473 --> 00:11:00,238
VERY GOOD QUESTION, VROOMER.
222
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:02,474
I SEE YOU ARE
PAYING ATTENTION.
223
00:11:02,476 --> 00:11:05,745
DURING THE SECOND HALF
OF THE 19TH CENTURY,
224
00:11:05,747 --> 00:11:10,650
AIRCRAFTS HAD USED
A STEERING GEAR FOR YAW CONTROL,
225
00:11:10,652 --> 00:11:14,853
WHICH IS DIRECTING THE PLANE'S
NOSE TO THE LEFT AND RIGHT.
226
00:11:14,855 --> 00:11:17,756
CAYLEY WAS THE FIRST
TO CREATE AN ELEVATOR
227
00:11:17,758 --> 00:11:19,525
FOR CONTROL IN PITCH,
228
00:11:19,527 --> 00:11:23,663
WHICH IS THE DIRECTING
OF A PLANE'S NOSE UP OR DOWN.
229
00:11:23,665 --> 00:11:25,865
IT WAS FINALLY
THE WRIGHT BROTHERS
230
00:11:25,867 --> 00:11:29,569
WHO DEVISED A SYSTEM
THEY CALLED WING WARPING,
231
00:11:29,571 --> 00:11:31,771
WHICH ALLOWED
THE PILOT CONTROL
232
00:11:31,773 --> 00:11:34,640
OVER THE MOVEMENT
OF THE WINGS.
233
00:11:34,642 --> 00:11:37,343
WERE THE WRIGHT BROTHERS
THE ONLY ONES
234
00:11:37,345 --> 00:11:39,645
WHO CREATED AIRCRAFTS
AROUND THIS TIME?
235
00:11:39,647 --> 00:11:42,848
THEY WERE THE FIRST
TO SUCCESSFULLY FLY ONE,
236
00:11:42,850 --> 00:11:46,151
BUT DEFINITELY NOT
THE ONLY ONES TO DO SO.
237
00:11:46,153 --> 00:11:50,189
LET'S TAKE A TOUR OF EUROPE AT THE
BEGINNING OF THE 20TH CENTURY
238
00:11:50,191 --> 00:11:54,827
AND WE'LL FIND AVIATORS LIKE
BRAZILIAN-BORN ALBERTO SANTOS-DUMONT
239
00:11:54,829 --> 00:11:59,198
WHO MADE THE FIRST PUBLIC
FLIGHT IN EUROPE IN 1906.
240
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:01,467
AND THE FRENCHMAN
HENRI FARMAN
241
00:12:01,469 --> 00:12:04,370
WHO MADE HIS FIRST SUCCESSFUL
ATTEMPT AT FLIGHT
242
00:12:04,372 --> 00:12:07,372
THE FOLLOWING YEAR IN 1907.
243
00:12:07,374 --> 00:12:08,708
WHOA.
244
00:12:08,710 --> 00:12:10,476
WHAT HAPPENED AFTER THAT,
WILLY WIDGET?
245
00:12:10,478 --> 00:12:12,645
AS WORLD WAR ONE APPROACHED,
246
00:12:12,647 --> 00:12:14,579
THE GOVERNMENTS
OF VARIOUS COUNTRIES
247
00:12:14,581 --> 00:12:18,718
FORESAW THE POTENTIAL
OF WAR PLANES DURING WAR TIME.
248
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:22,788
AIRPLANE PRODUCTION AND IMPROVEMENTS
IN AERODYNAMICS SURGED.
249
00:12:22,790 --> 00:12:25,458
CONSTRUCTION
OF AIRCRAFTS INCREASED,
250
00:12:25,460 --> 00:12:28,461
ALONG WITH THE POWER
OF THE AIRCRAFT'S MOTOR.
251
00:12:28,463 --> 00:12:30,496
PLANES ALSO BECAME FASTER
252
00:12:30,498 --> 00:12:32,631
AND CAPABLE OF FLYING HIGHER.
253
00:12:32,633 --> 00:12:35,267
DURING THE FIRST WORLD WAR,
254
00:12:35,269 --> 00:12:40,338
AIRPLANE SPEEDS INCREASED
TO 130 MILES PER HOUR
255
00:12:40,340 --> 00:12:42,440
AND AERIAL BATTLES
WERE TAKING PLACE
256
00:12:42,442 --> 00:12:46,312
AT THE INCREDIBLE ALTITUDE
OF 20,000 FEET.
257
00:12:46,314 --> 00:12:47,780
WHOA!
258
00:12:47,782 --> 00:12:50,916
TOOTING TURBINES,
THAT'S INCREDIBLE!
259
00:12:50,918 --> 00:12:54,420
AFTER THE WAR,
THERE WERE A LOT OF AIRPLANES
260
00:12:54,422 --> 00:12:56,421
WAITING FOR
THEIR NEXT ASSIGNMENT.
261
00:12:56,423 --> 00:12:59,625
MANY OF THEM WERE CONVERTED
FOR COMMERCIAL USE.
262
00:12:59,627 --> 00:13:03,228
EVEN THE U.S. POST OFFICE
JUMPED ON BOARD
263
00:13:03,230 --> 00:13:07,567
AND LAUNCHED ITS FIRST
AIR MAIL IN 1918.
264
00:13:07,569 --> 00:13:10,803
IMAGINE HOW FAST MAIL
GOT DELIVERED NOW
265
00:13:10,805 --> 00:13:13,271
WITH THE HELP
OF COMMERCIAL PLANES.
266
00:13:13,273 --> 00:13:14,940
SENDING MAIL BY PLANE
267
00:13:14,942 --> 00:13:17,309
ALLOWED PARCELS
TO GET FROM COAST TO COAST
268
00:13:17,311 --> 00:13:19,812
22 HOURS SOONER.
269
00:13:19,814 --> 00:13:22,781
WHOO-HOO!
270
00:13:22,783 --> 00:13:24,686
YAY!
271
00:13:29,856 --> 00:13:32,958
AVIATION'S IMPROVEMENTS
CONTINUED IN EARNEST,
272
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:36,562
AND IN 1927,
INVENTOR, WRITER,
273
00:13:36,564 --> 00:13:38,731
AND AVIATOR
CHARLES LINDBERGH
274
00:13:38,733 --> 00:13:41,233
COMPLETED
THE FIRST NONSTOP
275
00:13:41,235 --> 00:13:43,836
CONTINENT-TO-CONTINENT
FLIGHT EVER.
276
00:13:43,838 --> 00:13:46,738
HE FLEW
FROM NEW JERSEY TO PARIS
277
00:13:46,740 --> 00:13:50,476
IN 33 HOURS ALL BY HIMSELF.
278
00:13:50,478 --> 00:13:53,545
SUDDENLY, AMERICANS
TOOK AN INTEREST IN AVIATION
279
00:13:53,547 --> 00:13:55,280
LIKE NEVER BEFORE.
280
00:13:55,282 --> 00:13:58,883
PASSENGER FLIGHT
BECAME ALL THE RAGE
281
00:13:58,885 --> 00:14:02,788
AND A LOT OF COMPANIES INVESTED
INTO THE AVIATION INDUSTRY.
282
00:14:02,790 --> 00:14:06,692
THE WORLD JUST BECAME
SMALLER AND SMALLER
283
00:14:06,694 --> 00:14:09,328
AS PEOPLE COULD TRAVEL
FROM CONTINENT TO CONTINENT
284
00:14:09,330 --> 00:14:12,798
IN JUST A FEW HOURS
AS OPPOSED TO MONTHS.
285
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:15,001
COOL SKIES.
286
00:14:15,003 --> 00:14:19,671
NOWADAYS, AVIATION HAS CREATED
AMAZING OPPORTUNITIES
287
00:14:19,673 --> 00:14:21,339
AROUND THE WORLD
288
00:14:21,341 --> 00:14:24,410
FOR EVEN MORE
TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCES.
289
00:14:24,412 --> 00:14:27,479
WHEN DID THE FIRST AND LONGEST
UNMANNED AIRCRAFT FLIGHT
290
00:14:27,481 --> 00:14:28,747
TAKE PLACE, WILLY WIDGET?
291
00:14:28,749 --> 00:14:30,882
HA HA, YES!
292
00:14:30,884 --> 00:14:34,420
THE RECORD GOES
TO THE AMAZING GLOBAL HAWK,
293
00:14:34,422 --> 00:14:35,987
DEVELOPED BY NASA.
294
00:14:35,989 --> 00:14:40,325
IN 2001, THE GLOBAL HAWK
WAS THE FIRST AIRPLANE
295
00:14:40,327 --> 00:14:43,862
TO ACCOMPLISH THE LONGEST
POINT-TO-POINT FLIGHT
296
00:14:43,864 --> 00:14:46,966
BY AN UNMANNED AIRCRAFT EVER.
297
00:14:46,968 --> 00:14:48,467
HEY, GUMDROP,
298
00:14:48,469 --> 00:14:50,035
I THINK WE JUST FOUND OUT
THE ANSWER
299
00:14:50,037 --> 00:14:52,838

00:15:02,617 --> 00:15:05,818
TO THIS MISSION'S "WHO FLEW"
QUESTION, WINGED SCOUTS.
305
00:15:05,820 --> 00:15:08,753
COMMANDER AIRHEAD
WILL BE PROUD OF YOU,
306
00:15:08,755 --> 00:15:10,491
NO PISTONS ABOUT IT.
307
00:15:17,598 --> 00:15:20,498
FANTASTIC WORK,
WINGED SCOUTS.
308
00:15:20,500 --> 00:15:23,736

00:15:31,512 --> 00:15:33,779
VRR... AWESOME!
313
00:15:33,781 --> 00:15:39,718
SAY, WERE YOU ABLE TO FIND THE ANSWER
TO THIS MISSION'S "WHO FLEW" QUESTION?
314
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:42,521
YES, COMMANDER AIRHEAD,
WE SURE DID.
315
00:15:42,523 --> 00:15:44,723
THE RECORD GOES TO
THE AMAZING GLOBAL HAWK
316
00:15:44,725 --> 00:15:46,525
DEVELOPED BY NASA!

00:15:46,527 --> 00:15:49,694
THE FIRST AND LONGEST
UNMANNED AIRCRAFT FLIGHT
318
00:15:49,696 --> 00:15:53,366
WAS ACHIEVED
BY THE GLOBAL HAWK IN 2001.
319
00:15:53,368 --> 00:15:54,799
THAT'S GREAT!
320
00:15:54,801 --> 00:15:57,469
GOOD JOB, WINGED SCOUTS.
321
00:15:57,471 --> 00:15:59,872
WHAT'S OUR NEXT MISSION,
COMMANDER AIRHEAD?
322
00:15:59,874 --> 00:16:04,043
YOUR NEXT MISSION IS GOING
TO BE YOUR MOST INCREDIBLE YET.
323
00:16:04,045 --> 00:16:08,848
WE WANT YOU TO LEARN
ABOUT HOW PLANES FLY.
324
00:16:08,850 --> 00:16:10,882
HOW PLANES FLY?
325
00:16:10,884 --> 00:16:11,883
WOW!
326
00:16:11,885 --> 00:16:13,551
COOL!
327
00:16:13,553 --> 00:16:15,554
FOR ALL THE BUMPY FLIGHTS,
328
00:16:15,556 --> 00:16:17,455
CAN'T WAIT TO GET STARTED.
329
00:16:17,457 --> 00:16:19,391
YAY!
330
00:16:19,393 --> 00:16:22,026

ALL OVER THE WORLD
344
00:17:01,668 --> 00:17:05,037
ACROSS TIME,
SPACE, AND BEYOND.
345
00:17:05,039 --> 00:17:08,874
YOU MUST KEEP YOUR LITTLE
METAL NOSES POINTED AHEAD,
346
00:17:08,876 --> 00:17:10,608
YOUR MOTORS HUMMING,
347
00:17:10,610 --> 00:17:13,479
AND YOUR WINGS PERKED
AT ALL TIMES.
348
00:17:13,481 --> 00:17:16,982
WE DEPEND ON YOU
TO DO THE BEST JOB POSSIBLE.
349
00:17:16,984 --> 00:17:19,751
ARE YOU READY
FOR YOUR ASSIGNMENT?
350
00:17:19,753 --> 00:17:22,687
AS READY AS WE'LL EVER BE,
COMMANDER.
351
00:17:22,689 --> 00:17:25,124
WE WERE BORN READY.
352
00:17:25,126 --> 00:17:28,927
PLANE SCOUTS READY FOR
OUR MISSION, COMMANDER AIRHEAD.
353
00:17:28,929 --> 00:17:33,898
THIS IS SURE TO BE A CHALLENGING
MISSION, LITTLE ONES.
354
00:17:33,900 --> 00:17:36,569
IS THERE ANY OTHER KIND?
355
00:17:36,571 --> 00:17:38,771
THE MORE CHALLENGING,
THE BETTER!
356
00:17:38,773 --> 00:17:40,539
GLAD TO HEAR IT
357
00:17:40,541 --> 00:17:42,674
BECAUSE I'M SENDING YOU TWO
358
00:17:42,676 --> 00:17:47,111
ON A MISSION TO LEARN
HOW DO PLANES FLY?
359
00:17:47,113 --> 00:17:49,548
HOW DO PLANES FLY?
360
00:17:49,550 --> 00:17:50,982
COOL.
361
00:17:50,984 --> 00:17:52,885
CAN'T WAIT!
362
00:17:52,887 --> 00:17:55,620
IT'S UP TO YOU TO LEARN
ALL ABOUT IT
363
00:17:55,622 --> 00:17:58,757
AND REPORT BACK TO ME
WITH WHAT YOU'VE DISCOVERED.
364
00:17:58,759 --> 00:18:00,859
DEPART TO DISCOVERY.
365
00:18:00,861 --> 00:18:04,829
LOOKING FORWARD TO NAVIGATING
ALL THOSE FACTOIDS.
366
00:18:04,831 --> 00:18:07,933
WHAT CAN YOU TELL US
ABOUT HOW PLANES FLY?
367
00:18:07,935 --> 00:18:10,903
WHAT ARE THE MECHANICS
OF FLIGHT, COMMANDER AIRHEAD?
368
00:18:10,905 --> 00:18:15,174
WELL, A PLANE'S ENGINES
ARE DESIGNED
369
00:18:15,176 --> 00:18:18,077
TO MOVE IT FORWARD
AT HIGH SPEED.
370
00:18:18,079 --> 00:18:21,981
THAT MAKES AIR FLOW RAPIDLY
OVER THE WINGS,
371
00:18:21,983 --> 00:18:24,683
THROWING THE AIR DOWN
TOWARD THE GROUND
372
00:18:24,685 --> 00:18:27,986
AND GENERATING AN UPWARD FORCE
CALLED LIFT
373
00:18:27,988 --> 00:18:32,857
THAT OVERCOMES THE PLANE'S
WEIGHT AND HOLDS IT IN THE SKY.
374
00:18:32,859 --> 00:18:36,161
SO IT'S THE ENGINES
THAT MOVE A PLANE FORWARD,
375
00:18:36,163 --> 00:18:38,864
WHILE THE WINGS
MOVE IT UPWARD.
376
00:18:38,866 --> 00:18:40,232
WOW!
377
00:18:40,234 --> 00:18:42,166
I CAN'T WAIT TO FIND OUT MORE!
378
00:18:42,168 --> 00:18:44,537
HOW DO PLANES FLY?
379
00:18:44,539 --> 00:18:47,740
SOUNDS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!
380
00:18:47,742 --> 00:18:50,142
AS YOU KNOW,
VROOMER AND GUMDROP,
381
00:18:50,144 --> 00:18:52,978
TO BE THE BEST RESEARCH PLANES
YOU CAN BE,
382
00:18:52,980 --> 00:18:55,180
YOU MUST FIND OUT AND LEARN
383
00:18:55,182 --> 00:18:58,983
TONS OF AMAZING FACTS
ABOUT AIRPLANES.
384
00:18:58,985 --> 00:19:01,185
YES, COMMANDER AIRHEAD.
385
00:19:01,187 --> 00:19:03,688
VROOM, VROOM!
386
00:19:03,690 --> 00:19:04,690
WE WILL!
387
00:19:04,692 --> 00:19:06,058
EXCELLENT.
388
00:19:06,060 --> 00:19:08,894
YOU MUST ALSO KNOW
THERE IS A QUESTION
389
00:19:08,896 --> 00:19:11,563
THAT ALL THE BRIGHTEST
FLYING MINDS
390
00:19:11,565 --> 00:19:14,199
ALL OVER THE WORLD SKIES
391
00:19:14,201 --> 00:19:16,068
HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO ANSWER
392
00:19:16,070 --> 00:19:18,837
ABOUT HOW PLANES FLY.
393
00:19:18,839 --> 00:19:21,272
WE NEED YOU TWO WINGED SCOUTS
394
00:19:21,274 --> 00:19:24,209
TO HELP US ANSWER
THE "WHO FLEW" QUESTION
395
00:19:24,211 --> 00:19:27,646
ABOUT HOW PLANES FLY.
396
00:19:27,648 --> 00:19:29,048
"WHO FLEW" QUESTION?
397
00:19:29,050 --> 00:19:30,582
LOVE IT.
398
00:19:30,584 --> 00:19:32,784
WHAT IS THE QUESTION,
COMMANDER AIRHEAD?
399
00:19:32,786 --> 00:19:38,057
WHAT IS THE FASTEST
PASSENGER AIRCRAFT EVER BUILT,
400
00:19:38,059 --> 00:19:40,125
AND WHAT ENGINE DOES IT USE?
401
00:19:40,127 --> 00:19:43,761
THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION,
COMMANDER AIRHEAD.
402
00:19:43,763 --> 00:19:46,264
WE'LL LAND THE ANSWER
IN A SPIN OF A PROPELLER.
403
00:19:46,266 --> 00:19:47,633
I'M SURE.
404
00:19:47,635 --> 00:19:49,201
I WILL ASSIGN YOU
405
00:19:49,203 --> 00:19:52,037
THE BEST WINGED SCOUT HELPER
IN THE WORLD.
406
00:19:52,039 --> 00:19:54,072
HIS NAME IS WILLY WIDGET.
407
00:19:54,074 --> 00:19:58,711
HE'S A ROBOTIC ENCYCLOPEDIA OF
AIRCRAFT KNOWLEDGE.
408
00:19:58,713 --> 00:20:01,646
HE WILL ASSIST YOU
ON YOUR MISSION.
409
00:20:01,648 --> 00:20:03,682
AWESOME ANDROID.
410
00:20:03,684 --> 00:20:06,618
WE ALWAYS LOVE FLYING
WITH WILLY WIDGET.
411
00:20:06,620 --> 00:20:10,990
BE SURE TO ASK A LOT OF
QUESTIONS, WINGED SCOUTS.
412
00:20:10,992 --> 00:20:13,192
WILLY KNOWS IT ALL.
413
00:20:13,194 --> 00:20:14,827
YAY!
414
00:20:14,829 --> 00:20:17,363
WINGED SCOUTS READY TO FLY,
COMMANDER AIRHEAD.
415
00:20:17,365 --> 00:20:19,130
WINGED SCOUTS.
416
00:20:19,132 --> 00:20:21,399
VROOM, VROOM!
417
00:20:21,401 --> 00:20:23,402
HOORAY!
418
00:20:36,050 --> 00:20:37,883
WINGED SCOUTS!
419
00:20:37,885 --> 00:20:40,251
READY TO GET STARTED
ON YOUR NEXT ADVENTURE?
420
00:20:40,253 --> 00:20:42,754
YES, SUPER READY.
421
00:20:42,756 --> 00:20:44,056
TOTALLY READY!
422
00:20:44,058 --> 00:20:45,790
REMEMBER, WINGED SCOUTS,
423
00:20:45,792 --> 00:20:47,760
ANY AND ALL QUESTIONS YOU HAVE,
424
00:20:47,762 --> 00:20:49,427
I'M HERE TO ANSWER THEM.
425
00:20:49,429 --> 00:20:51,195
WHERE DO WE BEGIN?
426
00:20:51,197 --> 00:20:54,098
ONCE UPON A TIME,
THE TWO BROTHERS,
427
00:20:54,100 --> 00:20:55,967
WILBUR AND ORVILLE WRIGHT,
428
00:20:55,969 --> 00:20:57,836
MADE FOUR BRIEF FLIGHTS
429
00:20:57,838 --> 00:21:01,440
WITH THEIR FIRST
POWERED AIRCRAFT AT KITTY HAWK.
430
00:21:01,442 --> 00:21:04,777
THE WRIGHT BROTHERS SUCCESSFULLY
INVENTED THE FIRST AIRPLANE
431
00:21:04,779 --> 00:21:08,246
TO FLY ON DECEMBER 17TH, 1903.
432
00:21:08,248 --> 00:21:12,117
ORVILLE PILOTED THE GASOLINE-POWERED
PROPELLER-DRIVEN BIPLANE,
433
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:15,220
WHICH STAYED IN THE AIR
FOR 12 SECONDS
434
00:21:15,222 --> 00:21:19,692
AND COVERED 120 FEET
ON ITS FIRST FLIGHT.
435
00:21:19,694 --> 00:21:21,359
WHOA.
436
00:21:21,361 --> 00:21:23,761
TO TRACE THE FIRST FLIGHT OVER
437
00:21:23,763 --> 00:21:26,732
AND LEARN MORE ABOUT
THE MECHANICS OF FLYING,
438
00:21:26,734 --> 00:21:30,469
WE NEED TO TRAVEL
BACK IN TIME TO 1903
439
00:21:30,471 --> 00:21:34,740
TO WITNESS THIS FIRST SUCCESSFUL
FLIGHT TO EVER TAKE PLACE.
440
00:21:34,742 --> 00:21:37,341
LET'S GO VISIT THE DESIGNERS
OF THE MECHANICS
441
00:21:37,343 --> 00:21:39,278
OF THE EARLY PLANES.
442
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:40,915
YEAH!
443
00:21:45,151 --> 00:21:49,088
IN GERMANY, GERMAN ENGINEER,
OTTO LILIENTHAL
444
00:21:49,090 --> 00:21:50,989
STUDIED AERODYNAMICS
445
00:21:50,991 --> 00:21:54,859
AND WORKED TO DESIGN
A GLIDER THAT WOULD FLY.
446
00:21:54,861 --> 00:21:58,062
HE WAS THE FIRST PERSON
TO DESIGN A GLIDER
447
00:21:58,064 --> 00:21:59,798
THAT COULD FLY A PERSON
448
00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:03,501
AND WAS ABLE
TO FLY LONG DISTANCES.
449
00:22:03,503 --> 00:22:06,171
SAMUEL LANGLEY,
AN ASTRONOMER,
450
00:22:06,173 --> 00:22:09,441
REALIZED THAT POWER
WAS NEEDED TO FLY.
451
00:22:09,443 --> 00:22:12,144
HE BUILT A MODEL OF A PLANE,
452
00:22:12,146 --> 00:22:14,413
WHICH HE CALLED AN AERODROME,
453
00:22:14,415 --> 00:22:17,281
WHICH INCLUDED
A STEAM-POWERED ENGINE.
454
00:22:17,283 --> 00:22:22,186
IN 1891, HIS MODEL
FLEW FOR THREE-FOURTHS OF A MILE
455
00:22:22,188 --> 00:22:24,155
BEFORE RUNNING OUT OF FUEL.
456
00:22:24,157 --> 00:22:27,392
WHAT'S A GLIDER,
WILLY WIDGET?
457
00:22:27,394 --> 00:22:30,028
A GLIDER IS A LIGHT AIRCRAFT
458
00:22:30,030 --> 00:22:33,432
THAT IS DESIGNED TO FLY
WITHOUT USING AN ENGINE.
459
00:22:33,434 --> 00:22:38,870
SO, A GLIDER PERFORMS THE ACT
OF GLIDING THROUGH THE AIR.
460
00:22:38,872 --> 00:22:41,874
DO YOU KNOW
THAT YOU TWO GUYS GLIDE
461
00:22:41,876 --> 00:22:44,041
EVERY TIME YOU FLY?
462
00:22:44,043 --> 00:22:45,543
INCREDIBLE!
463
00:22:45,545 --> 00:22:48,946
HIT MY PLANE BRAIN
WITH MORE COOL FACTOIDS.
464
00:22:48,948 --> 00:22:54,418
IN 1903, THE WRIGHT BROTHERS
DESIGNED THE FIRST AIRPLANE ENGINE
465
00:22:54,420 --> 00:22:58,790
WHICH WAS A FOUR-CYCLE ENGINE
CALLED THE WRIGHT FLYER.
466
00:22:58,792 --> 00:23:02,528
BLASTING ENGINES,
THAT'S AMAZING.
467
00:23:02,530 --> 00:23:08,166
IN THE 1930S, HUNGARIAN
ENGINEER GYORGY JENDRASSIK
468
00:23:08,168 --> 00:23:11,069
DESIGNED THE JENDRASSIK CA-1,
469
00:23:11,071 --> 00:23:14,338
THE FIRST FUNCTIONAL
TURBOPROP ENGINE.
470
00:23:14,340 --> 00:23:17,442
THE ENGINE WAS INTENDED
FOR THE HUNGARIAN TWIN ENGINE
471
00:23:17,444 --> 00:23:20,546
VARGA RMI-1
RECONNAISSANCE BOMBER.
472
00:23:20,548 --> 00:23:23,382
VERY INTERESTING.
473
00:23:23,384 --> 00:23:25,416
WHAT HAPPENED NEXT, WILLY?
474
00:23:25,418 --> 00:23:27,586
EXCELLENT QUESTION, GUMDROP.
475
00:23:27,588 --> 00:23:31,490
IN 1911, AFTER THE WRIGHT
BROTHERS VISITED FRANCE,
476
00:23:31,492 --> 00:23:35,560
ALESSANDRO ANZANI,
AN ITALIAN LIVING IN FRANCE,
477
00:23:35,562 --> 00:23:38,896
WAS INSPIRED TO START
DESIGNING AIRPLANE ENGINES.
478
00:23:38,898 --> 00:23:42,568
HE DESIGNED A SERIES
OF THREE-CYLINDER ENGINES
479
00:23:42,570 --> 00:23:46,437
THAT PRODUCED ANYWHERE
FROM TEN TO 50 HORSEPOWER,
480
00:23:46,439 --> 00:23:49,374
INCLUDING
THE 25 HORSEPOWER ENGINE
481
00:23:49,376 --> 00:23:53,044
THAT POWERED LOUIS BLERIOT'S
XI AIRPLANE
482
00:23:53,046 --> 00:23:58,983
ACROSS THE WHOLE
ENGLISH CHANNEL IN 1909.
483
00:23:58,985 --> 00:24:01,220
WHOA, FUN FACTOID!
484
00:24:01,222 --> 00:24:03,588
SO, HOW DID WE GO
FROM THESE SLOW PLANES
485
00:24:03,590 --> 00:24:06,390
TO THE VERY FAST AIRPLANES
WE HAVE TODAY?
486
00:24:06,392 --> 00:24:08,993
THAT'S A VERY GOOD QUESTION,
VROOMER.
487
00:24:08,995 --> 00:24:12,030
IN THE LATE 1920S IN FRANCE,
488
00:24:12,032 --> 00:24:14,332
THE GNOME-RHONE MISTRAL MAJOR,
489
00:24:14,334 --> 00:24:16,467
ALSO KNOWN AS THE 14K,
490
00:24:16,469 --> 00:24:18,936
WAS A TWO-ROW RADIAL ENGINE
491
00:24:18,938 --> 00:24:21,005
THAT WAS, FOR A TIME,
492
00:24:21,007 --> 00:24:22,574
THE MOST POWERFUL ENGINE
493
00:24:22,576 --> 00:24:25,143
ORDERED IN LARGE NUMBERS
ON THE PLANET.
494
00:24:25,145 --> 00:24:28,246
IT GAVE AN AMAZING OUTPUT,
495
00:24:28,248 --> 00:24:32,251
SURPASSING THE OUTPUTS
OF MOST OTHER EUROPEAN ENGINES.
496
00:24:32,253 --> 00:24:34,152
WHOO-HOO!
497
00:24:34,154 --> 00:24:36,555
MM, WHAT TYPES OF PLANES
498
00:24:36,557 --> 00:24:40,559
WAS THE GNOME-RHONE 14K ENGINE
USED FOR, WILLY WIDGET?
499
00:24:40,561 --> 00:24:44,262
THE GNOME-RHONE 14K ENGINE
WAS USED
500
00:24:44,264 --> 00:24:47,265
IN MORE THAN A DOZEN
DIFFERENT AIRPLANE TYPES,
501
00:24:47,267 --> 00:24:50,601
AND WAS AVAILABLE IN A LARGE
NUMBER OF DIFFERENT VARIANTS
502
00:24:50,603 --> 00:24:53,238
ON THE CONTINENT AND BEYOND.
503
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:55,273
WHOA, WILLY,
504
00:24:55,275 --> 00:24:57,608
FACTOID COOLER
THAN RAIN CLOUDS
505
00:24:57,610 --> 00:25:00,111
AFTER A SPRING SHOWER.
506
00:25:00,113 --> 00:25:02,246
WHAT ENGINE TYPE
WAS USED TO POWER
507
00:25:02,248 --> 00:25:04,683
THE APOLLO 11 SPACESHIP,
WILLY?
508
00:25:04,685 --> 00:25:06,585
EXCELLENT QUESTION, VROOMER.
509
00:25:06,587 --> 00:25:10,422
THE APOLLO 11 SPACESHIP
IN 1969
510
00:25:10,424 --> 00:25:12,624
COMPLETED THE FAMOUS
LUNAR MISSION
511
00:25:12,626 --> 00:25:15,626
AND WAS POWERED
BY THE ROCKETDYNE F-1,
512
00:25:15,628 --> 00:25:18,329
WHICH WAS DEVELOPED
IN THE 1950S.
513
00:25:18,331 --> 00:25:22,000
WHAT KIND OF ENGINE WAS THE
ROCKETDYNE F-1, WILLY WIDGET?
514
00:25:22,002 --> 00:25:24,202
VERY GOOD QUESTION, VROOMER.
515
00:25:24,204 --> 00:25:26,405
I SEE YOU ARE
PAYING ATTENTION.
516
00:25:26,407 --> 00:25:30,442
THE ROCKETDYNE F-1
WAS THE MOST POWERFUL
517
00:25:30,444 --> 00:25:33,945
LIQUID FUEL PROPULSION SYSTEM
EVER BUILT
518
00:25:33,947 --> 00:25:38,549
AND PUT OUT 1.5 MILLION POUNDS
OF THRUST.
519
00:25:38,551 --> 00:25:43,588
FIVE F-1S WERE USED
FOR EACH SATURN V ROCKET LAUNCH
520
00:25:43,590 --> 00:25:48,159
WITH EACH ENGINE
BURNING MORE THAN 400 GALLONS
521
00:25:48,161 --> 00:25:50,462
OF LIQUID OXYGEN PER SECOND,
522
00:25:50,464 --> 00:25:54,366
APPROXIMATELY
5,000 TIMES THE AMOUNT
523
00:25:54,368 --> 00:25:56,201
OF A HIGH-POWERED JET ENGINE
524
00:25:56,203 --> 00:25:58,502
USED ON COMMERCIAL
AIRLINERS TODAY.
525
00:25:58,504 --> 00:26:00,605
WHAT DOES IT TAKE
TO MAKE AN AIRPLANE
526
00:26:00,607 --> 00:26:03,075
GO 7,000 MILES PER HOUR?
527
00:26:03,077 --> 00:26:07,044
ACCORDING TO NASA'S X-43
IN 2004,
528
00:26:07,046 --> 00:26:11,215
THE ANSWER IS
SUPERSONIC COMBUSTION RAM JET,
529
00:26:11,217 --> 00:26:13,151
OR SCRAMJET,
530
00:26:13,153 --> 00:26:16,421
TECHNOLOGY WHICH ALLOWS
ULTRA HIGH-SPEED AIRCRAFT
531
00:26:16,423 --> 00:26:18,656
TRAVELLING FASTER
THAN MACH 4
532
00:26:18,658 --> 00:26:22,426
TO GET THEIR OXYGEN STRAIGHT
FROM THE ATMOSPHERE,
533
00:26:22,428 --> 00:26:26,263
AS OPPOSED TO RELYING
ON AN ONBOARD SUPPLY
534
00:26:26,265 --> 00:26:30,001
OF HEAVY OXIDIZER
OR A TRADITIONAL TURBINE ENGINE,
535
00:26:30,003 --> 00:26:31,435
MAKING THEM FASTER.
536
00:26:31,437 --> 00:26:34,539
WHOA, HOW FAST CAN THEY GO?
537
00:26:34,541 --> 00:26:37,675
ACCORDING TO RESEARCH,
THE SCRAMJET TECHNOLOGY
538
00:26:37,677 --> 00:26:40,779
COULD SOMEDAY
HELP AIRCRAFTS TO TRAVEL
539
00:26:40,781 --> 00:26:44,715
AS MUCH AS 15 TIMES
THE SPEED OF SOUND,
540
00:26:44,717 --> 00:26:49,186
TURNING A NORMAL 18-HOUR FLIGHT
FROM NEW YORK CITY TO TOKYO
541
00:26:49,188 --> 00:26:51,690
INTO A TWO-HOUR JOURNEY.
542
00:26:51,692 --> 00:26:53,759
WHOA!
543
00:26:53,761 --> 00:26:57,128
TOOTING TURBINES,
THAT'S INCREDIBLE!
544
00:26:57,130 --> 00:27:00,665
OVER THE YEARS,
MANY NEW AIRPLANES AND ENGINES
545
00:27:00,667 --> 00:27:04,136
HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED
TO HELP TRANSPORT PEOPLE,
546
00:27:04,138 --> 00:27:07,172
LUGGAGE, CARGO,
MILITARY PERSONNEL,
547
00:27:07,174 --> 00:27:09,741
AND WEAPONS
FROM ONE PLACE TO ANOTHER
548
00:27:09,743 --> 00:27:11,475
IN RECORD TIME.
549
00:27:11,477 --> 00:27:13,744
BUT IT IS GREAT TO NOTE
550
00:27:13,746 --> 00:27:16,781
THAT ALL THIS
IS ONLY POSSIBLE
551
00:27:16,783 --> 00:27:19,417
AND BASED ON
THE FIRST ENGINES
552
00:27:19,419 --> 00:27:21,819
BUILT BY THE WRIGHT BROTHERS
FROM OHIO.
553
00:27:21,821 --> 00:27:25,223
WHOO!
554
00:27:25,225 --> 00:27:27,459
YAY!
555
00:27:27,461 --> 00:27:31,128
THE MECHANICS OF FLIGHT
HAVE IMPROVED OVER THE YEARS.
556
00:27:31,130 --> 00:27:35,466
THE AN-225 HOLDS THE TITLE
OF THE BIGGEST
557
00:27:35,468 --> 00:27:39,136
COMMERCIALLY-USED FREIGHTER
IN THE WORLD.
558
00:27:39,138 --> 00:27:42,307
POWERED BY SIX
TURBOFAN ENGINES,
559
00:27:42,309 --> 00:27:46,243
IT IS THE BIGGEST
HEAVIER-THAN-AIR AIRCRAFT
560
00:27:46,245 --> 00:27:48,746
IN TERMS OF LENGTH
AND WINGSPAN
561
00:27:48,748 --> 00:27:50,781
IN OPERATIONAL SERVICE.
562
00:27:50,783 --> 00:27:52,584
IT IS ABLE TO CARRY
563
00:27:52,586 --> 00:27:57,355
UP TO 250 TONS OF CARGO,
564
00:27:57,357 --> 00:27:59,390
WHICH IS THE SAME
AS THE AVERAGE WEIGHT
565
00:27:59,392 --> 00:28:02,394
OF 52 MATURE ELEPHANTS.
566
00:28:02,396 --> 00:28:05,129
THAT'S SOME HEAVY PLANE!
567
00:28:05,131 --> 00:28:07,365
COOL SKIES.
568
00:28:07,367 --> 00:28:10,868
NOWADAYS, PEOPLE CAN GET FROM ONE
END OF THE WORLD TO THE OTHER
569
00:28:10,870 --> 00:28:12,671
IN THE SHORTEST OF TIMES
570
00:28:12,673 --> 00:28:15,607
DUE TO THE IMPROVEMENTS
OF AIRPLANE ENGINES.
571
00:28:15,609 --> 00:28:18,510
WHAT IS THE FASTEST
PASSENGER AIRCRAFT EVER BUILT
572
00:28:18,512 --> 00:28:20,744
AND WHAT ENGINE DOES IT USE,
WILLY?
573
00:28:20,746 --> 00:28:22,246
A-HA!
574
00:28:22,248 --> 00:28:25,884

00:32:09,443 --> 00:32:11,542
I'M SENDING YOU TWO
ON A MISSION
651
00:32:11,544 --> 00:32:15,379
TO LEARN ABOUT FIGHTER PLANES.
652
00:32:15,381 --> 00:32:17,115
FIGHTER PLANES?
653
00:32:17,117 --> 00:32:18,916
HOW COOL.
654
00:32:18,918 --> 00:32:20,484
CAN'T WAIT!
655
00:32:20,486 --> 00:32:23,988
IT'S UP TO YOU

656
00:32:23,990 --> 00:32:26,991
AND REPORT BACK TO ME
WITH WHAT YOU'VE DISCOVERED.
657
00:32:26,993 --> 00:32:29,527
FLAPPING FUN WINGS.
658
00:32:29,529 --> 00:32:31,829
THIS IS GOING TO BE
AN INCREDIBLE ADVENTURE.
659
00:32:31,831 --> 00:32:35,466
WHAT CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT FIGHTER
PLANES, COMMANDER AIRHEAD?
660
00:32:35,468 --> 00:32:38,502
WELL, THE FIGHTER PLANES
ARE BUILT MAINLY
661
00:32:38,504 --> 00:32:40,972
FOR AIR-TO-AIR COMBAT
662
00:32:40,974 --> 00:32:43,007
AGAINST OTHER AIRCRAFT,
663
00:32:43,009 --> 00:32:45,443
WHICH IS CONTRASTING
TO BOMBERS
664
00:32:45,445 --> 00:32:47,044
AND ATTACK PLANES
665
00:32:47,046 --> 00:32:50,982
WHOSE MAIN MISSION
IS TO ATTACK GROUND TARGETS.
666
00:32:50,984 --> 00:32:53,617
THE ADVANTAGES OF A FIGHTER
667
00:32:53,619 --> 00:32:57,021
ARE ITS SPEED,
MANEUVERABILITY,
668
00:32:57,023 --> 00:33:01,960
AND SMALL SIZE RELATIVE
TO OTHER COMBAT AIRCRAFT.
669
00:33:01,962 --> 00:33:05,530
THE FIRST FIGHTER PLANE
WAS BUILT AS FAR BACK
670
00:33:05,532 --> 00:33:08,633
AS DURING WORLD WAR ONE.
671
00:33:08,635 --> 00:33:11,636
WOW, I CAN'T WAIT
TO FIND OUT MORE!
672
00:33:11,638 --> 00:33:16,074
FIGHTER PLANES,
SOUNDS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING.
673
00:33:16,076 --> 00:33:19,042
AS YOU KNOW,
VROOMER AND GUMDROP,
674
00:33:19,044 --> 00:33:22,180
TO OVERTURN
EVERY STONE YOU CAN,
675
00:33:22,182 --> 00:33:24,182
YOU MUST FIND OUT AND LEARN
676
00:33:24,184 --> 00:33:28,752
TONS OF AMAZING FACTS
ABOUT AIRPLANES.
677
00:33:28,754 --> 00:33:30,621
YES, COMMANDER AIRHEAD.
678
00:33:30,623 --> 00:33:32,190
VROOM, VROOM!
679
00:33:32,192 --> 00:33:34,826
WE... WILL!
680
00:33:34,828 --> 00:33:36,794
EXCELLENT.
681
00:33:36,796 --> 00:33:39,998
YOU MUST ALSO KNOW
THERE IS A QUESTION
682
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:43,134
THAT ALL THE BRIGHTEST
FLYING MINDS
683
00:33:43,136 --> 00:33:45,703
ALL OVER THE WORLD SKIES
684
00:33:45,705 --> 00:33:49,706
HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO ANSWER
ABOUT FIGHTER PLANES.
685
00:33:49,708 --> 00:33:52,143
WE NEED YOU TWO WINGED SCOUTS
686
00:33:52,145 --> 00:33:57,115
TO HELP US ANSWER THE "WHO FLEW"
QUESTION ABOUT FIGHTER PLANES.
687
00:33:57,117 --> 00:33:59,082
"WHO FLEW" QUESTION?
688
00:33:59,084 --> 00:34:00,684
LOVE IT.
689
00:34:00,686 --> 00:34:02,953
WHAT IS THE QUESTION,
COMMANDER AIRHEAD?
690
00:34:02,955 --> 00:34:07,759
WHO FLEW THE FIRST FIGHTER PLANE
AND WHEN?
691
00:34:07,761 --> 00:34:11,161
THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION,
COMMANDER AIRHEAD.
692
00:34:11,163 --> 00:34:13,864
WE'LL LAND THE ANSWER
IN A SPIN OF A PROPELLER.
693
00:34:13,866 --> 00:34:15,500
I'M SURE.
694
00:34:15,502 --> 00:34:18,603
I WILL ASSIGN YOU
THE BEST WINGED SCOUT HELPER
695
00:34:18,605 --> 00:34:20,170
IN THE WORLD.
696
00:34:20,172 --> 00:34:22,105
HIS NAME IS WILLY WIDGET.
697
00:34:22,107 --> 00:34:26,978
HE'S A ROBOTIC ENCYCLOPEDIA
OF AIRCRAFT KNOWLEDGE
698
00:34:26,980 --> 00:34:30,547
AND HE WILL ASSIST YOU
ON YOUR MISSION.
699
00:34:30,549 --> 00:34:33,050
BRING ON WILLY!
700
00:34:33,052 --> 00:34:35,018
WE WANT WILLY WIDGET!
701
00:34:35,020 --> 00:34:40,190
BE SURE TO ASK A LOT OF
QUESTIONS, WINGED SCOUTS.
702
00:34:40,192 --> 00:34:42,527
NO FACTS GET BY WILLY,
703
00:34:42,529 --> 00:34:44,862
NO MATTER HOW SMALL.
704
00:34:44,864 --> 00:34:46,530
YAY!
705
00:34:46,532 --> 00:34:49,199
WINGED SCOUTS READY TO FLY,
COMMANDER AIRHEAD.
706
00:34:49,201 --> 00:34:51,069
WINGED SCOUTS.
707
00:34:51,071 --> 00:34:53,137
VROOM, VROOM!
708
00:34:53,139 --> 00:34:55,273
HOORAY!
709
00:35:07,621 --> 00:35:09,520
WINGED SCOUTS!
710
00:35:09,522 --> 00:35:11,755
READY TO GET STARTED
ON YOUR NEXT ADVENTURE?
711
00:35:11,757 --> 00:35:13,724
YES, SUPER READY.
712
00:35:13,726 --> 00:35:14,992
TOTALLY READY!
713
00:35:14,994 --> 00:35:16,661
REMEMBER, WINGED SCOUTS,
714
00:35:16,663 --> 00:35:19,130
ANY AND ALL QUESTIONS YOU HAVE
715
00:35:19,132 --> 00:35:21,599
I'M HERE TO ANSWER THEM.
716
00:35:21,601 --> 00:35:23,233
WHERE DO WE BEGIN?
717
00:35:23,235 --> 00:35:26,137
MANY YEARS AGO,
FIGHTER PLANES WERE DESCRIBED
718
00:35:26,139 --> 00:35:29,107
AS TWO-SEATER AIRCRAFTS
WITH SUFFICIENT LIFT
719
00:35:29,109 --> 00:35:32,744
TO CARRY THE PILOT,
A MACHINE GUN, AND ITS OPERATOR.
720
00:35:32,746 --> 00:35:34,811
MANY COUNTRIES,
ESPECIALLY THE BRITISH,
721
00:35:34,813 --> 00:35:38,016
TRIED EARLY ON TO BUILD
GUN-MOUNTED AIRPLANES,
722
00:35:38,018 --> 00:35:40,317
BUT FACED A SERIES
OF DRAWBACKS
723
00:35:40,319 --> 00:35:44,154
SUCH AS SPEED AND
WHERE TO MOUNT THE MACHINE GUN.
724
00:35:44,156 --> 00:35:48,759
ONE OF THE EARLIEST BUILT
WAS THE VICKERS F.B.5 GUNBUS
725
00:35:48,761 --> 00:35:51,563
BY THE BRITISH IN 1914,
726
00:35:51,565 --> 00:35:53,797
BUT IT WAS
CONSIDERED INEFFECTIVE
727
00:35:53,799 --> 00:35:57,802
DUE TO A LOT OF DRAWBACKS
AND SUBSEQUENTLY ABANDONED.
728
00:35:57,804 --> 00:36:00,904
IT WASN'T UNTIL MARCH 1915
729
00:36:00,906 --> 00:36:03,574
THAT THE FRENCH AVIATOR,
ROLAND GARROS
730
00:36:03,576 --> 00:36:06,244
FLEW A MODIFIED MONOPLANE
731
00:36:06,246 --> 00:36:10,014
THAT SUCCESSFULLY DOWNED
THE FIRST AIRCRAFT IN HISTORY.
732
00:36:10,016 --> 00:36:12,916
OOH, WHOA.
733
00:36:12,918 --> 00:36:16,587
TO FOLLOW THE ADVANCEMENT OF THE
FIGHTER PLANE THROUGHOUT HISTORY,
734
00:36:16,589 --> 00:36:19,623
WE HAVE TO TRAVEL BACK IN TIME
735
00:36:19,625 --> 00:36:22,125
AND VISIT
SOME OF THE GREATEST MINDS
736
00:36:22,127 --> 00:36:25,862
WHO STARTED THE EARLY REVOLUTION
OF FIGHTER PLANES.
737
00:36:25,864 --> 00:36:27,067
YEAH!
738
00:36:30,971 --> 00:36:33,070
DURING WORLD WAR ONE,
739
00:36:33,072 --> 00:36:36,907
MANY COUNTRIES LIKE
BRITAIN, FRANCE, AND GERMANY
740
00:36:36,909 --> 00:36:41,746
ALL CONTRIBUTED TO THE EARLY EFFORTS
TO BUILD THE FIRST FIGHTER PLANES.
741
00:36:41,748 --> 00:36:44,047
SOME USED MONOPLANES,
742
00:36:44,049 --> 00:36:46,351
OTHERS BIPLANES.
743
00:36:46,353 --> 00:36:48,987
WHAT'S THE
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A MONOPLANE
744
00:36:48,989 --> 00:36:51,021
AND A BIPLANE, WILLY?
745
00:36:51,023 --> 00:36:55,393
AH, A MONOPLANE
HAS ONE MAIN SUPPORTING SURFACE
746
00:36:55,395 --> 00:36:58,862
OR A SINGLE WING
ON EITHER SIDE OF THE BODY,
747
00:36:58,864 --> 00:37:04,067
WHILE A BIPLANE HAS TWO SETS
OF TWO SUPPORTING WINGS.
748
00:37:04,069 --> 00:37:08,271
THE BODY OF THE MACHINE
IS BETWEEN THE TWO PLACES.
749
00:37:08,273 --> 00:37:10,074
INCREDIBLE!
750
00:37:10,076 --> 00:37:13,777
HIT MY PLANE BRAIN WITH MORE
COOL FACTOIDS, WILLY WIDGET.
751
00:37:13,779 --> 00:37:15,880
IN GERMANY IN 1913,
752
00:37:15,882 --> 00:37:18,416
A SWISS ENGINEER,
FRANZ SCHNEIDER,
753
00:37:18,418 --> 00:37:22,219
PATENTED A DEVICE
WITH A FORWARD-FIRING GUN
754
00:37:22,221 --> 00:37:25,255
WHOSE BULLETS PASSED THROUGH
THE PROPELLER ARC
755
00:37:25,257 --> 00:37:28,960
AND COULD TIME THE FIRING
OF THE INDIVIDUAL ROUNDS
756
00:37:28,962 --> 00:37:31,728
TO AVOID HITTING
THE PROPELLER BLADES,
757
00:37:31,730 --> 00:37:34,732
BUT HIS ORIGINAL WORK
WAS NOT FOLLOWED UP.
758
00:37:34,734 --> 00:37:36,333
BLASTING ENGINES?
759
00:37:36,335 --> 00:37:38,201
TELL ME MORE!
760
00:37:38,203 --> 00:37:41,405
FRENCH AIRCRAFT DESIGNER,
RAYMOND SAULNIER,
761
00:37:41,407 --> 00:37:46,009
PATENTED A PRACTICAL DEVICE
IN APRIL 1914.
762
00:37:46,011 --> 00:37:48,246
BUT TRIALS WERE UNSUCCESSFUL
763
00:37:48,248 --> 00:37:50,447
BECAUSE THE MACHINE GUN DESIGN
764
00:37:50,449 --> 00:37:52,750
REPEATEDLY JAMMED
DURING FIRING
765
00:37:52,752 --> 00:37:55,420
BECAUSE OF
DEFECTIVE AMMUNITION.
766
00:37:55,422 --> 00:37:57,954
VERY INTERESTING.
767
00:37:57,956 --> 00:38:00,291
WHAT HAPPENED NEXT, WILLY?
768
00:38:00,293 --> 00:38:05,096
IN DECEMBER 1914,
ROLAND GARROS, A FRENCH PILOT,
769
00:38:05,098 --> 00:38:08,833
ASKED SAULNIER TO
MOUNT HIS SYNCHRONIZATION GEAR
770
00:38:08,835 --> 00:38:12,402
ON HIS MORANE-SAULNIER
TYPE L AIRCRAFT.
771
00:38:12,404 --> 00:38:16,907
UNFORTUNATELY, THE GAS-OPERATED
HOTCHKISS MACHINE GUN HE WAS GIVEN
772
00:38:16,909 --> 00:38:19,110
HAD AN ERRATIC FIRING RATE
773
00:38:19,112 --> 00:38:21,112
AND IT WAS DIFFICULT
TO SYNCHRONIZE
774
00:38:21,114 --> 00:38:22,779
WITH A SPINNING PROPELLER.
775
00:38:22,781 --> 00:38:24,114
WHOA!
776
00:38:24,116 --> 00:38:25,782
FUN FACTOID.
777
00:38:25,784 --> 00:38:28,453
SO HOW WAS HE ABLE
TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM?
778
00:38:28,455 --> 00:38:31,755
AH, THAT'S A VERY GOOD QUESTION,
VROOMER.
779
00:38:31,757 --> 00:38:37,061
IN 1915, ROLAND GARROS MODIFIED
HIS MONOPLANE PROPELLER BLADES
780
00:38:37,063 --> 00:38:39,864
WITH ARMOR
FITTED WITH METAL WEDGES
781
00:38:39,866 --> 00:38:42,233
TO PROTECT THE PILOT
FROM RICOCHETS,
782
00:38:42,235 --> 00:38:46,036
AND HE BEGAN COMBAT OPERATIONS
SOON THEREAFTER.
783
00:38:46,038 --> 00:38:50,041
GARROS SCORED THREE VICTORIES
IN THREE WEEKS
784
00:38:50,043 --> 00:38:53,911
BEFORE HE HIMSELF WAS DOWNED
ON THE 18TH OF APRIL.
785
00:38:53,913 --> 00:38:57,447
AND HIS AIRPLANE, ALONG WITH
ITS SYNCHRONIZATION GEAR
786
00:38:57,449 --> 00:39:00,384
AND PROPELLER
WAS CAPTURED BY THE GERMANS.
787
00:39:00,386 --> 00:39:02,320
OH, NO!
788
00:39:02,322 --> 00:39:05,188
SO, WAS THAT HOW
THE GERMANS GOT THE SECRET
789
00:39:05,190 --> 00:39:06,858
TO FIGHTER PLANES,
WILLY WIDGET?
790
00:39:06,860 --> 00:39:10,927
THE GERMANS FORCED
A DUTCH AIRCRAFT MANUFACTURER,
791
00:39:10,929 --> 00:39:14,532
ANTHONY FOKKER,
WHOSE FACTORY WAS NEARBY
792
00:39:14,534 --> 00:39:18,969
TO INSPECT THE FIGHTER PLANE
AND REPLICATE THE DESIGN.
793
00:39:18,971 --> 00:39:22,005
FOKKER AND HIS ENGINEERS
DID AS THEY WERE TOLD
794
00:39:22,007 --> 00:39:25,208
AND BUILT THE FIRST
MACHINE GUN FIGHTER PLANES
795
00:39:25,210 --> 00:39:26,376
FOR THE GERMANS.
796
00:39:26,378 --> 00:39:28,311
WHOA, WILLY WIDGET,
797
00:39:28,313 --> 00:39:30,348
FACTOID COOLER
THAN RAIN CLOUDS
798
00:39:30,350 --> 00:39:32,150
AFTER A SPRING SHOWER.
799
00:39:32,152 --> 00:39:34,217
DID THE GERMAN FIGHTER PLANES
800
00:39:34,219 --> 00:39:36,853
WORK AS WELL AS THE FRENCH
FIGHTER PLANES, WILLY WIDGET?
801
00:39:36,855 --> 00:39:38,790
EXCELLENT QUESTION, VROOMER.
802
00:39:38,792 --> 00:39:41,793
ANTHONY FOKKER
AND HIS ENGINEERS
803
00:39:41,795 --> 00:39:43,927
CAME UP WITH A BETTER DESIGN.
804
00:39:43,929 --> 00:39:46,898
THEY BUILT A MACHINE GUN
WHOSE RATE OF FIRE
805
00:39:46,900 --> 00:39:51,469
WAS CONTROLLED BY THE TURNING
OF THE PROPELLER.
806
00:39:51,471 --> 00:39:54,271
THIS SYNCHRONIZATION
ASSURED THAT THE BULLETS
807
00:39:54,273 --> 00:39:57,375
WOULD PASS HARMLESSLY
THROUGH THE EMPTY SPACE
808
00:39:57,377 --> 00:39:59,309
BETWEEN THE PROPELLER BLADES.
809
00:39:59,311 --> 00:40:03,014
SO, WAS ROLAND GARROS
THE ONLY PILOT
810
00:40:03,016 --> 00:40:05,817
TO SHOOT DOWN PLANES DURING
WORLD WAR ONE, WILLY WIDGET?
811
00:40:05,819 --> 00:40:07,918
VERY GOOD QUESTION, VROOMER.
812
00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:10,154
I SEE YOU ARE ALL EARS.
813
00:40:10,156 --> 00:40:12,155
THE FIRST VICTORY
FOR THE GERMANS
814
00:40:12,157 --> 00:40:15,293
CAME ON THE FIRST OF JULY 1915
815
00:40:15,295 --> 00:40:18,128
WHEN LIEUTENANT KURT WILCKENS,
816
00:40:18,130 --> 00:40:20,831
FLYING THE FOKKER
EINDECKER MONOPLANE
817
00:40:20,833 --> 00:40:23,266
WITH THE FIELD
FLIEGER-ABTEILUNG SIX UNIT
818
00:40:23,268 --> 00:40:24,569
ON THE WESTERN FRONT
819
00:40:24,571 --> 00:40:28,139
FORCED DOWN
A MORANE-SAULNIER TYPE L
820
00:40:28,141 --> 00:40:30,407
TWO-SEAT PARASOL MONOPLANE
821
00:40:30,409 --> 00:40:32,610
JUST EAST OF LUNEVILLE.
822
00:40:32,612 --> 00:40:35,612
HE WAS THE SECOND PILOT
TO SHOOT DOWN A PLANE.
823
00:40:35,614 --> 00:40:38,215
WHAT HAPPENED AFTER THAT,
WILLY WIDGET?
824
00:40:38,217 --> 00:40:40,384
THE SUCCESS OF THE EINDECKER
825
00:40:40,386 --> 00:40:44,154
GAVE RISE TO A COMPETITIVE
CYCLE OF IMPROVEMENT
826
00:40:44,156 --> 00:40:45,523
AMONG COMBATANTS.
827
00:40:45,525 --> 00:40:48,326
BOTH SIDES
TRIED TO BUILD EVEN MORE
828
00:40:48,328 --> 00:40:50,962
CAPABLE SINGLE-SEAT FIGHTERS.
829
00:40:50,964 --> 00:40:56,032
THE ALBATROSS D-1
AND SOPWITH PUP OF 1916
830
00:40:56,034 --> 00:40:59,402
SET THE CLASSIC PATTERN
FOLLOWED BY FIGHTERS
831
00:40:59,404 --> 00:41:01,438
FOR ABOUT 20 YEARS.
832
00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:03,641
MOST OF THE FIGHTER PLANES
WERE BIPLANES
833
00:41:03,643 --> 00:41:08,445
AND ONLY RARELY MONOPLANES
OR TRIPLANES.
834
00:41:08,447 --> 00:41:12,550
WHOA, SO THE FIGHTERS WERE
AS GOOD AS THEIR FIGHTER PLANES?
835
00:41:12,552 --> 00:41:14,418
YES, TO AN EXTENT.
836
00:41:14,420 --> 00:41:17,989
AS COLLECTIVE COMBAT
EXPERIENCE GREW,
837
00:41:17,991 --> 00:41:21,358
THE MORE SUCCESSFUL PILOTS,
LIKE OSWALD BOELCKE,
838
00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:24,027
MAX IMMELMANN
AND EDWARD MANNOCK
839
00:41:24,029 --> 00:41:27,331
DEVISED TACTICAL FORMATIONS
AND MANEUVERS
840
00:41:27,333 --> 00:41:31,302
TO IMPROVE THEIR AIR UNITS'
COMBAT SUCCESS.
841
00:41:31,304 --> 00:41:33,036
WHOA!
842
00:41:33,038 --> 00:41:36,306
TOOTING TURBINES,
THAT'S AMAZING!
843
00:41:36,308 --> 00:41:41,612
WITH TIME, AIRCRAFT ENGINES
INCREASED SEVERAL FOLD IN POWER.
844
00:41:41,614 --> 00:41:47,150
GOING FROM A COMMON 180 HORSEPOWER
IN THE 19-8 FOKKER D.VII
845
00:41:47,152 --> 00:41:52,623
TO THE 900 HORSEPOWER
IN THE 1938 CURTISS P-36.
846
00:41:52,625 --> 00:41:56,494
WHOO-HOO!
847
00:41:56,496 --> 00:41:57,929
GOOD GOLLY!
848
00:41:57,931 --> 00:42:00,398
WORLD WAR TWO
FEATURED FIGHTER COMBAT
849
00:42:00,400 --> 00:42:02,565
ON A LARGER SCALE
850
00:42:02,567 --> 00:42:05,536
THAN ANY OTHER
CONFLICT TO DATE.
851
00:42:05,538 --> 00:42:09,273
AND FIGHTER PLANE DESIGNS VARIED
EXTENSIVELY AMONG NATIONS.
852
00:42:09,275 --> 00:42:13,311
EXAMPLES INCLUDE
THE ITALIAN MACCHI M.C.200
853
00:42:13,313 --> 00:42:15,112
AND FIAT G.50
854
00:42:15,114 --> 00:42:18,616
AND THE JAPANESE
NAKAJIMA KI-27
855
00:42:18,618 --> 00:42:20,985
AND NAKAJIMA KI-43.
856
00:42:20,987 --> 00:42:22,686
COOL SKIES.
857
00:42:22,688 --> 00:42:25,422
FIGHTER TECHNOLOGY
QUICKLY ADVANCED
858
00:42:25,424 --> 00:42:27,425
DURING WORLD WAR TWO.
859
00:42:27,427 --> 00:42:30,728
PISTON ENGINES, WHICH POWERED MOST
OF THE WORLD WAR TWO FIGHTERS
860
00:42:30,730 --> 00:42:32,963
BECAME MORE POWERFUL.
861
00:42:32,965 --> 00:42:35,465
AT THE START,
WAR PLANES USUALLY HAD ENGINES
862
00:42:35,467 --> 00:42:40,137
POWERED BY 1,000 HORSEPOWER
AND 1,400 HORSEPOWER ENGINES,
863
00:42:40,139 --> 00:42:42,206
BUT BY THE END OF THE WAR,
864
00:42:42,208 --> 00:42:46,277
MANY COULD PRODUCE
OVER 2,000 HORSEPOWER.
865
00:42:46,279 --> 00:42:48,212
FOR INSTANCE, THE SPITFIRE,
866
00:42:48,214 --> 00:42:51,248
WHICH WAS IN PRODUCTION
ALL THROUGHOUT THE WAR,
867
00:42:51,250 --> 00:42:53,483
WAS, IN 1939,
868
00:42:53,485 --> 00:42:57,554
POWERED BY
A 1,030-HORSEPOWER MERLIN II,
869
00:42:57,556 --> 00:43:01,058
WHILE VARIANTS
PRODUCED IN 1945
870
00:43:01,060 --> 00:43:04,462
PRODUCED 2,035 HORSEPOWER.
871
00:43:04,464 --> 00:43:07,098
POWERED BY GRIFFON 61 ENGINES.
872
00:43:07,100 --> 00:43:10,300
WHO FLEW THE FIRST
FIGHTER PLANE AND WHEN?
873
00:43:10,302 --> 00:43:13,670
THE FIRST FIGHTER PLANE
WAS DEVELOPED BY A FRENCH PILOT,
874
00:43:13,672 --> 00:43:16,340
ROLAND GARROS, IN 1915,
875
00:43:16,342 --> 00:43:18,775
WHO FLEW AN AIRPLANE
ARMED WITH A MACHINE GUN
876
00:43:18,777 --> 00:43:22,779
THAT FIRED THROUGH ITS PROPELLER
DURING WORLD WAR ONE.
877
00:43:22,781 --> 00:43:25,483
GARROS BECAME A NATIONAL HERO
878
00:43:25,485 --> 00:43:29,085
AND HAD A TOTAL
OF FIVE ENEMY KILLS IN THE AIR.
879
00:43:29,087 --> 00:43:31,389
HEY, GUMDROP, I THINK
WE JUST FOUND OUT THE ANSWER
880
00:43:31,391 --> 00:43:33,690
TO COMMANDER AIRHEAD'S
"WHO FLEW" QUESTION!
881
00:43:33,692 --> 00:43:35,259

885
00:43:45,371 --> 00:43:48,471
COMMANDER AIRHEAD
WILL BE PROUD OF YOU.
886
00:43:48,473 --> 00:43:50,343
NO PISTONS ABOUT IT.
887
00:43:55,081 --> 00:43:57,280
FANTASTIC WORK,
WINGED SCOUTS.
888
00:43:57,282 --> 00:44:02,152
YOUR MISSION
WAS A GREAT SUCCESS!
889
00:44:02,154 --> 00:44:06,157
YOU'RE WELL ON YOU'RE WAY TO
PLANE-LIGHTENMENT.
890
00:44:06,159 --> 00:44:08,159
VROOM, VROOM!
891
00:44:08,161 --> 00:44:10,393
VRR... AWESOME!
892
00:44:10,395 --> 00:44:13,264
SAY, WERE YOU ABLE TO FIND
893
00:44:13,266 --> 00:44:16,833
THE ANSWER TO THIS MISSION'S
"WHO FLEW" QUESTION?
894
00:44:16,835 --> 00:44:19,770
YES, COMMANDER AIRHEAD,
WE SURE DID.
895
00:44:19,772 --> 00:44:23,139
THE RECORD TO GOES
TO FRENCH PILOT ROLAND GARROS.
896
00:44:23,141 --> 00:44:26,444
THE FIRST FIGHTER PLANE
WAS DEVELOPED BY A FRENCH PILOT,
897
00:44:26,446 --> 00:44:30,447
ROLAND GARROS, IN 1915
DURING WORLD WAR ONE.
898
00:44:30,449 --> 00:44:32,516
AH, THAT'S GREAT!
899
00:44:32,518 --> 00:44:34,684
GOOD JOB, WINGED SCOUTS.
900
00:44:34,686 --> 00:44:37,320
WHAT'S OUR NEXT MISSION,
COMMANDER AIRHEAD?
901
00:44:37,322 --> 00:44:42,625
YOUR NEXT MISSION IS GOING
TO BE YOUR MOST INCREDIBLE YET.
902
00:44:42,627 --> 00:44:46,864
WE WANT YOU TO LEARN
ABOUT SUPERSONIC JETS
903
00:44:46,866 --> 00:44:49,166
AND THE SOUND BARRIER.
904
00:44:49,168 --> 00:44:52,469
SUPERSONIC JETS
AND THE SOUND BARRIER?
905
00:44:52,471 --> 00:44:53,471
WOW!
906
00:44:53,473 --> 00:44:54,605
COOL!
907
00:44:54,607 --> 00:44:56,474
FOR ALL THE BUMPY FLIGHTS,
908
00:44:56,476 --> 00:44:58,509
CAN'T WAIT TO GET STARTED.
909
00:44:58,511 --> 00:45:00,344
YAY!
910
00:45:00,346 --> 00:45:03,279
WINGED SCOUTS READY TO FLY,
COMMANDER AIRHEAD.
911
00:45:03,281 --> 00:45:04,849
WINGED SCOUTS.
912
00:45:04,851 --> 00:45:07,117
VROOM, VROOM!
913
00:45:07,119 --> 00:45:09,453
HOORAY!
914
00:45:09,455 --> 00:45:11,788
I CAN'T WAIT TILL NEXT TIME.
915
00:45:11,790 --> 00:45:14,224
I'M SUPERSONIC SERIOUS.
916
00:45:14,226 --> 00:45:16,759
MY WINGS ARE ALL A FLUTTER.
917
00:45:16,761 --> 00:45:20,364
YOU TWO LITTLE PLANES
ARE RAPIDLY SOARING
918
00:45:20,366 --> 00:45:22,900
TO THE VERY PINNACLE
OF OUR KNOWLEDGE.
919
00:45:22,902 --> 00:45:25,302
AND TODAY,
WE HAVE ANOTHER CHANCE
920
00:45:25,304 --> 00:45:28,404
TO EXPAND
THOSE REVVING BRAINS.
921
00:45:28,406 --> 00:45:30,875
YOUR MISSION,
GUMDROP AND VROOMER,
922
00:45:30,877 --> 00:45:33,511
IS TO DISCOVER ALL ABOUT
923
00:45:33,513 --> 00:45:37,413
THE MOST FASCINATING
MACHINE OF ALL.
924
00:45:37,415 --> 00:45:39,315
PLANES!
925
00:45:39,317 --> 00:45:40,918
PLANES!
926
00:45:40,920 --> 00:45:43,487
EXACTLY.
927
00:45:43,489 --> 00:45:47,424
YOU WILL TRAVEL
ALL OVER THE WORLD
928
00:45:47,426 --> 00:45:50,226
ACROSS TIME,
SPACE AND BEYOND.
929
00:45:50,228 --> 00:45:53,496
YOU MUST KEEP YOUR LITTLE
METAL NOSES POINTED AHEAD,
930
00:45:53,498 --> 00:45:55,232
YOUR MOTORS HUMMING,
931
00:45:55,234 --> 00:45:59,536
AND YOUR WINGS PERKED
AT ALL TIMES.
932
00:45:59,538 --> 00:46:03,873
WE DEPEND ON YOU
TO DO THE BEST JOB POSSIBLE.
933
00:46:03,875 --> 00:46:06,177
ARE YOU READY
FOR YOUR ASSIGNMENT?
934
00:46:06,179 --> 00:46:09,679
MY BRAIN'S FRONTAL LOBE
IS SPINNING LIKE A PROPELLER.
935
00:46:09,681 --> 00:46:12,516
YOUR BRAIN'S FRONTAL LOBE
IS A PROPELLER.
936
00:46:12,518 --> 00:46:15,652
PLANE SCOUTS READY FOR
OUR MISSION, COMMANDER AIRHEAD.
937
00:46:15,654 --> 00:46:19,657
THIS IS SURE TO BE A CHALLENGING
MISSION, LITTLE ONES.
938
00:46:19,659 --> 00:46:21,458
BRING IT ON.
939
00:46:21,460 --> 00:46:24,460
NO CLOUD IS TOO DARK FOR US
TO FIND THE SUNSHINE,
940
00:46:24,462 --> 00:46:26,329
OR THE ANSWERS.
941
00:46:26,331 --> 00:46:28,465
I'M SENDING YOU TWO
ON A MISSION
942
00:46:28,467 --> 00:46:31,969
TO LEARN ABOUT SUPERSONIC JETS
943
00:46:31,971 --> 00:46:34,771
AND THE SOUND BARRIER.
944
00:46:34,773 --> 00:46:37,574
SUPERSONIC JETS
AND THE SOUND BARRIER?
945
00:46:37,576 --> 00:46:39,375
NO WAY!
946
00:46:39,377 --> 00:46:41,311
TOTALLY AWESOME!
947
00:46:41,313 --> 00:46:42,313
CAN'T WAIT!
948
00:46:42,315 --> 00:46:43,880
IT'S UP TO YOU TO LEARN
949
00:46:43,882 --> 00:46:45,648
ALL ABOUT IT.
950
00:46:45,650 --> 00:46:48,953
AND REPORT BACK TO ME
WITH WHAT YOU'VE DISCOVERED.
951
00:46:48,955 --> 00:46:51,487
TURBO TAKEOFFS, WE'LL DO IT.
952
00:46:51,489 --> 00:46:54,291
THIS IS GOING TO BE
AN INCREDIBLE ADVENTURE
953
00:46:54,293 --> 00:46:56,759
WHAT CAN YOU TELL US
ABOUT THE SUPERSONIC JETS
954
00:46:56,761 --> 00:46:58,929
AND THE SOUND BARRIER,
COMMANDER AIRHEAD?
955
00:46:58,931 --> 00:47:02,465
SUPERSONIC JETS
ARE PLANES THAT CAN FLY
956
00:47:02,467 --> 00:47:06,270
UP TO FIVE TIMES
THE SPEED OF SOUND.
957
00:47:06,272 --> 00:47:10,641
760 MILES PER HOUR
IS THE SPEED OF SOUND.
958
00:47:10,643 --> 00:47:13,844
IT'S ALSO CALLED MACH 1.
959
00:47:13,846 --> 00:47:16,947
PLANES IN THIS REGIME
HAVE SPECIALLY DESIGNED
960
00:47:16,949 --> 00:47:18,815
HIGH-PERFORMANCE ENGINES
961
00:47:18,817 --> 00:47:20,951
THAT CAN BREAK
THE SOUND BARRIER.
962
00:47:20,953 --> 00:47:24,654
THEY ARE ALSO DESIGNED
WITH LIGHTWEIGHT MATERIALS
963
00:47:24,656 --> 00:47:26,757
TO PROVIDE LESS DRAG.
964
00:47:26,759 --> 00:47:29,692
WOW, I CAN'T WAIT
TO FIND OUT MORE.
965
00:47:29,694 --> 00:47:32,663
SUPERSONIC JETS
AND THE SOUND BARRIER?
966
00:47:32,665 --> 00:47:35,498
SOUNDS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING.
967
00:47:35,500 --> 00:47:37,967
AS YOU KNOW,
VROOMER AND GUMDROP,
968
00:47:37,969 --> 00:47:39,670
AS PART OF THE MISSION,
969
00:47:39,672 --> 00:47:43,540
YOU MUST FIND OUT
AND LEARN TONS OF AMAZING FACTS
970
00:47:43,542 --> 00:47:45,275
ABOUT AIRPLANES.
971
00:47:45,277 --> 00:47:46,944
YES, COMMANDER AIRHEAD.
972
00:47:46,946 --> 00:47:48,978
VROOM, VROOM!
973
00:47:48,980 --> 00:47:49,980
WE WILL.
974
00:47:49,982 --> 00:47:51,482
EXCELLENT.
975
00:47:51,484 --> 00:47:54,717
YOU MUST ALSO KNOW
THAT THERE IS A QUESTION
976
00:47:54,719 --> 00:47:58,822
THAT ALL THE BRIGHTEST FLYING
MINDS ALL OVER THE WORLD SKIES
977
00:47:58,824 --> 00:48:01,891
HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO ANSWER
978
00:48:01,893 --> 00:48:05,929
ABOUT SUPERSONIC JETS
AND THE SOUND BARRIER.
979
00:48:05,931 --> 00:48:08,599
WE NEED YOU TWO WINGED SCOUTS
980
00:48:08,601 --> 00:48:11,668
TO HELP US ANSWER
THE "WHO FLEW" QUESTION
981
00:48:11,670 --> 00:48:15,572
ABOUT SUPERSONIC JETS
AND THE SOUND BARRIER.
982
00:48:15,574 --> 00:48:17,007
"WHO FLEW" QUESTION?
983
00:48:17,009 --> 00:48:18,541
LOVE IT!
984
00:48:18,543 --> 00:48:20,511
WHAT IS THE QUESTION,
COMMANDER AIRHEAD?
985
00:48:20,513 --> 00:48:22,679
WHAT IS THE FIRST JET
986
00:48:22,681 --> 00:48:26,949
AND WHO IS THE FIRST PERSON
TO BREAK THE SPEED OF SOUND?
987
00:48:26,951 --> 00:48:29,719
THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION,
COMMANDER AIRHEAD.
988
00:48:29,721 --> 00:48:32,690
WE'LL LAND THE ANSWER
IN A SPIN OF A PROPELLER.
989
00:48:32,692 --> 00:48:33,891
I'M SURE.
990
00:48:33,893 --> 00:48:35,659
I WILL ASSIGN YOU
991
00:48:35,661 --> 00:48:38,661
THE BEST WINGED SCOUT HELPER
IN THE WORLD.
992
00:48:38,663 --> 00:48:40,596
HIS NAME IS WILLY WIDGET.
993
00:48:40,598 --> 00:48:44,567
HE'S A ROBOTIC ENCYCLOPEDIA
OF AIRCRAFT KNOWLEDGE.
994
00:48:44,569 --> 00:48:47,103
HE WILL ASSIST YOU
ON YOUR MISSION.
995
00:48:47,105 --> 00:48:49,473
BRING ON OUR THIRD BRAIN.
996
00:48:49,475 --> 00:48:51,875
LET'S HAVE OUR WILLY WIDGET!
997
00:48:51,877 --> 00:48:55,945
BE SURE TO ASK A LOT OF
QUESTIONS, WINGED SCOUTS.
998
00:48:55,947 --> 00:48:59,083
YOU KNOW NOTHING'S
TOO HARD FOR WILLY.
999
00:48:59,085 --> 00:49:00,817
YAY!
1000
00:49:00,819 --> 00:49:03,554
WINGED SCOUTS READY TO FLY,
COMMANDER AIRHEAD.
1001
00:49:03,556 --> 00:49:04,987
WINGED SCOUTS.
1002
00:49:04,989 --> 00:49:07,123
VROOM, VROOM!
1003
00:49:07,125 --> 00:49:09,625
HOORAY!
1004
00:49:21,840 --> 00:49:24,007
WINGED SCOUTS.
1005
00:49:24,009 --> 00:49:27,043
READY TO GET STARTED
ON YOUR NEXT ADVENTURE?
1006
00:49:27,045 --> 00:49:28,911
YES, SUPER READY.
1007
00:49:28,913 --> 00:49:30,447
TOTALLY READY!
1008
00:49:30,449 --> 00:49:32,148
REMEMBER, WINGED SCOUTS,
1009
00:49:32,150 --> 00:49:35,451
ANY AND ALL QUESTIONS
YOU MAY HAVE
1010
00:49:35,453 --> 00:49:36,954
I'M HERE TO ANSWER THEM.
1011
00:49:36,956 --> 00:49:38,889
WHERE DO WE BEGIN?
1012
00:49:38,891 --> 00:49:41,491
IN THE 1960S AND 70S,
1013
00:49:41,493 --> 00:49:44,728
MANY DESIGN STUDIES FOR
SUPERSONIC AIRLINERS WERE DONE.
1014
00:49:44,730 --> 00:49:47,864
AND, EVENTUALLY,
TWO TYPES ENTERED SERVICE,
1015
00:49:47,866 --> 00:49:49,733
THE ANGLO FRENCH CONCORDE
1016
00:49:49,735 --> 00:49:53,404
AND THE RUSSIAN
TUPOLEV TU-144.
1017
00:49:53,406 --> 00:49:55,973
HOWEVER,
CLIMACTIC AND POLITICAL
1018
00:49:55,975 --> 00:49:57,875
AND ECONOMIC IMPEDIMENTS
1019
00:49:57,877 --> 00:50:00,811
AND ONE FATAL CONCORDE CRASH
PREVENTED THEM
1020
00:50:00,813 --> 00:50:04,114
FROM BEING USED TO THEIR
FULL COMMERCIAL POTENTIAL.
1021
00:50:04,116 --> 00:50:07,518
AND THESE AIRCRAFT
ARE NO LONGER FLYING.
1022
00:50:07,520 --> 00:50:09,619
THE MAJORITY OF SUPERSONIC JETS
1023
00:50:09,621 --> 00:50:12,790
ARE MILITARY
OR EXPERIMENTAL PLANES.
1024
00:50:12,792 --> 00:50:15,491
WHOA!
1025
00:50:15,493 --> 00:50:18,862
THE SOUND BARRIER,
ALSO CALLED A SONIC BARRIER,
1026
00:50:18,864 --> 00:50:22,565
IS A POPULAR TERM THAT REFERS
TO THE SUDDEN INCREASE
1027
00:50:22,567 --> 00:50:24,668
IN AERODYNAMIC DRAG
1028
00:50:24,670 --> 00:50:27,471
AND OTHER EFFECTS
EXPERIENCED BY A JET
1029
00:50:27,473 --> 00:50:30,873
OR OTHER OBJECT WHEN IT
APPROACHES SUPERSONIC SPEED.
1030
00:50:30,875 --> 00:50:32,909
THE SOUND BARRIER IS REACHED
1031
00:50:32,911 --> 00:50:34,777
WHEN AN OBJECT MOVES
AT A SPEED
1032
00:50:34,779 --> 00:50:38,882
OF 343 METERS PER SECOND.
1033
00:50:38,884 --> 00:50:40,152
YEAH!
1034
00:50:44,056 --> 00:50:48,025
THE GERMANS, FRENCH, BRITISH,
AND OTHER FIGHTER PILOTS
1035
00:50:48,027 --> 00:50:50,059
WHO FOUGHT
DURING WORLD WAR TWO
1036
00:50:50,061 --> 00:50:52,895
WERE THE FIRST TO EXPERIENCE
THE SOUND BARRIER
1037
00:50:52,897 --> 00:50:54,565
WHEN A NUMBER OF AIRCRAFTS
1038
00:50:54,567 --> 00:50:57,567
STARTED TO ENCOUNTER THE EFFECTS
OF COMPRESSIBILITY.
1039
00:50:57,569 --> 00:50:59,770
A NUMBER OF UNRELATED
AERODYNAMIC EFFECTS
1040
00:50:59,772 --> 00:51:02,105
THAT STRUCK THEIR AIRCRAFT,
1041
00:51:02,107 --> 00:51:04,507
THEREBY BLOCKING
FURTHER ACCELERATION.
1042
00:51:04,509 --> 00:51:07,710
BY THE 1950S,
NEW AIRCRAFT DESIGNS
1043
00:51:07,712 --> 00:51:10,246
REGULARLY BROKE
THE SOUND BARRIER.
1044
00:51:10,248 --> 00:51:13,851
WHAT ARE EARLY CLAIMS
OF THE SOUND BARRIER LIKE?
1045
00:51:13,853 --> 00:51:17,587
IN 1942, IN ONE OF
THE EARLIEST CLAIMS,
1046
00:51:17,589 --> 00:51:20,791
THE REPUBLIC AVIATION
ISSUED A PRESS RELEASE
1047
00:51:20,793 --> 00:51:23,893
STATING THAT
LIEUTENANTS HAROLD E. COMSTOCK
1048
00:51:23,895 --> 00:51:27,197
AND ROGER DYER
HAD EXCEEDED THE SPEED OF SOUND
1049
00:51:27,199 --> 00:51:31,168
DURING TEST DIVES
IN THE P-47 THUNDERBOLT.
1050
00:51:31,170 --> 00:51:33,804
IT IS WIDELY AGREED
THAT THIS WAS DUE
1051
00:51:33,806 --> 00:51:37,007
TO INACCURATE ASI READINGS.
1052
00:51:37,009 --> 00:51:39,076
FOREIGN SIMILAR TESTS,
1053
00:51:39,078 --> 00:51:41,844
THE NORTH AMERICAN
P-51 MUSTANG,
1054
00:51:41,846 --> 00:51:43,947
A HIGHER-PERFORMANCE AIRCRAFT,
1055
00:51:43,949 --> 00:51:47,550
DEMONSTRATED LIMITS
AT MACH 0.85,
1056
00:51:47,552 --> 00:51:49,820
WITH SOME HIGH SPEEDS
CAUSING THE AIRCRAFT
1057
00:51:49,822 --> 00:51:51,954
TO BE DAMAGED BY VIBRATION.
1058
00:51:51,956 --> 00:51:53,623
INCREDIBLE.
1059
00:51:53,625 --> 00:51:56,626
HIT MY PLANE BRAIN WITH
MORE COOL FACTOIDS, WILLY.
1060
00:51:56,628 --> 00:51:59,663
ON THE FIRST OF MARCH 1945,
1061
00:51:59,665 --> 00:52:02,833
THE LUFTWAFFE TEST PILOT,
LOTHAR SIEBER,
1062
00:52:02,835 --> 00:52:05,536
MAY HAVE ACCIDENTALLY
BECOME THE FIRST MAN
1063
00:52:05,538 --> 00:52:07,237
TO BREAK THE SOUND BARRIER.
1064
00:52:07,239 --> 00:52:12,074
THIS OCCURRED WHILE HE WAS
PILOTING A BACHEM BA 349 NATTER
1065
00:52:12,076 --> 00:52:16,679
FOR THE FIRST MANNED VERTICAL
TAKEOFF OF A ROCKET IN HISTORY.
1066
00:52:16,681 --> 00:52:20,951
IN 55 SECONDS, HE TRAVELLED
A TOTAL OF 14 KILOMETERS
1067
00:52:20,953 --> 00:52:23,253
OR 8.7 MILES.
1068
00:52:23,255 --> 00:52:25,721
UNFORTUNATELY,
THE AIRCRAFT CRASHED
1069
00:52:25,723 --> 00:52:27,324
AND HE DIDN'T SURVIVE.
1070
00:52:27,326 --> 00:52:29,559
BUT THE PRECEDENT WAS SET!
1071
00:52:29,561 --> 00:52:31,695
OH, WHOA.
1072
00:52:31,697 --> 00:52:36,599
IN 1942, THE UNITED KINGDOM'S
MINISTRY OF AVIATION
1073
00:52:36,601 --> 00:52:40,003
BEGAN A TOP SECRET PROJECT
WITH MILES AIRCRAFT
1074
00:52:40,005 --> 00:52:42,905
TO DEVELOP THE WORLD'S
FIRST AIRCRAFT
1075
00:52:42,907 --> 00:52:45,108
CAPABLE OF BREAKING
THE SOUND BARRIER.
1076
00:52:45,110 --> 00:52:49,779
THE PROTOTYPE, MILES M.52
TURBO JET-POWERED AIRCRAFT,
1077
00:52:49,781 --> 00:52:53,683
WAS DESIGNED TO REACH
1,000 MILES PER HOUR,
1078
00:52:53,685 --> 00:52:56,719
OVER THE TWICE
THE EXISTING SPEED RECORD
1079
00:52:56,721 --> 00:52:57,920
IN LEVEL FLIGHT
1080
00:52:57,922 --> 00:53:00,090
AND TO CLIMB TO AN ALTITUDE
1081
00:53:00,092 --> 00:53:05,195
OF 36,000 FEET
IN ONE MINUTE AND 30 SECONDS.
1082
00:53:05,197 --> 00:53:08,764
BUT THE PROJECT
WAS EVENTUALLY CANCELLED.
1083
00:53:08,766 --> 00:53:11,067
VERY INTERESTING.
1084
00:53:11,069 --> 00:53:13,070
TURBO TRICKY.
1085
00:53:13,072 --> 00:53:15,172
ARE THERE ANY OTHER
IMPORTANT FIGURES
1086
00:53:15,174 --> 00:53:17,206
IN SUPERSONIC JET FLYING, WILLY?
1087
00:53:17,208 --> 00:53:19,775
HISTORY IS LITTERED
WITH IMPORTANT PILOTS,
1088
00:53:19,777 --> 00:53:23,746
ENGINEERS, MECHANICS,
DESIGNERS AND GENERALS
1089
00:53:23,748 --> 00:53:27,083
WHO ALL HELPED FORWARD THE CAUSE
AND THE MISSION
1090
00:53:27,085 --> 00:53:29,052
OF SUPERSONIC FLIGHT.
1091
00:53:29,054 --> 00:53:31,087
PERHAPS NONE AS WELL KNOWN
1092
00:53:31,089 --> 00:53:32,855
AS FORMER AIR FORCE GENERAL
1093
00:53:32,857 --> 00:53:36,058
AND WORLD-FAMOUS TEST PILOT
CHUCK YEAGER.
1094
00:53:36,060 --> 00:53:38,061
WHOA, CHUCK YEAGER?
1095
00:53:38,063 --> 00:53:40,896
CHUCK YEAGER SOUNDS LIKE
ONE HECK OF A PILOT.
1096
00:53:40,898 --> 00:53:41,898
WAS HE?
1097
00:53:41,900 --> 00:53:43,866
VERY GOOD QUESTION, VROOMER.
1098
00:53:43,868 --> 00:53:45,869
HE SURE WAS.
1099
00:53:45,871 --> 00:53:49,271
FROM HIS HUMBLE BEGINNINGS
AS A PRIVATE IN WORLD WAR TWO,
1100
00:53:49,273 --> 00:53:51,708
CHUCK YEAGER WENT ON
TO BE A TEST PILOT
1101
00:53:51,710 --> 00:53:54,311
FOR MANY DIFFERENT TYPES
OF AIRCRAFT,
1102
00:53:54,313 --> 00:53:57,848
INCLUDING EXPERIMENTAL
ROCKET-POWERED AIRCRAFT.
1103
00:53:57,850 --> 00:54:01,150
ALL TOLD,
MR. YEAGER'S FLYING CAREER
1104
00:54:01,152 --> 00:54:05,221
SPANNED OVER 60 AMAZING YEARS.
1105
00:54:05,223 --> 00:54:08,759
JEEZ, MAKES ME PROUD
TO BE A PLANE.
1106
00:54:08,761 --> 00:54:11,261
DID CHUCK YEAGER
EVER CRASH A PLAN?
1107
00:54:11,263 --> 00:54:13,163
YES, HE DID!
1108
00:54:13,165 --> 00:54:17,366
CHUCK YEAGER LOST CONTROL
OF A PLANE CALLED THE BELL X-1A
1109
00:54:17,368 --> 00:54:21,771
DUE TO THE BARELY UNDERSTOOD
PHENOMENON OF INERTIA COUPLING.
1110
00:54:21,773 --> 00:54:24,840
THE X-1A DROPPED
FROM MAXIMUM ALTITUDE
1111
00:54:24,842 --> 00:54:27,076
TO 25,000 FEET,
1112
00:54:27,078 --> 00:54:30,012
DURING WHICH YEAGER BROKE
THE CANOPY WITH HIS HELMET
1113
00:54:30,014 --> 00:54:31,982
BEFORE REGAINING CONTROL
1114
00:54:31,984 --> 00:54:36,319
ONLY DUE TO HIS SUPER STRONG
SKILLS AS AN AVIATOR.
1115
00:54:36,321 --> 00:54:37,954
WHOA!
1116
00:54:37,956 --> 00:54:40,056
WHAT IS INERTIA COUPLING?
1117
00:54:40,058 --> 00:54:44,393
INERTIA COUPLING IS COMMON WITH
SINGLE-ENGINE JET FIGHTER AIRCRAFT
1118
00:54:44,395 --> 00:54:49,465
AND OCCURS WHEN AN AIRCRAFT
IS QUICKLY PUT INTO A ROLL
1119
00:54:49,467 --> 00:54:52,168
RESULTING IN VIOLENT PITCHING,
AND YAWING,
1120
00:54:52,170 --> 00:54:53,770
AND LOSS OF CONTROL
1121
00:54:53,772 --> 00:54:57,440
AS THE AIRCRAFT ROTATES
ON ALL THREE AXES.
1122
00:54:57,442 --> 00:54:59,076
WHOA!
1123
00:54:59,078 --> 00:55:01,978
TOOTING TURBINES,
THAT'S INCREDIBLE!
1124
00:55:01,980 --> 00:55:04,413
INERTIA COUPLING
NEARLY KILLED CHUCK YEAGER
1125
00:55:04,415 --> 00:55:06,483
IN THE X-1A IN 1953
1126
00:55:06,485 --> 00:55:09,985
AND IT DID
KILL PILOT CAPTAIN MEL APT
1127
00:55:09,987 --> 00:55:13,422
IN HIS FIRST FLIGHT
IN THE ROCKET-POWERED BELL X-2
1128
00:55:13,424 --> 00:55:17,194
ON SEPTEMBER 27TH, 1956.
1129
00:55:17,196 --> 00:55:20,163
INERTIA COUPLING CRAZINESS.
1130
00:55:20,165 --> 00:55:23,866
WOW, THIS FLYING BUSINESS
SURE CAN BE DANGEROUS.
1131
00:55:23,868 --> 00:55:28,003
FOR AIRCRAFT SPEEDS WHICH ARE
GREATER THAN THE SPEED OF SOUND,
1132
00:55:28,005 --> 00:55:31,842
THE AIRCRAFT
IS SAID TO BE SUPERSONIC.
1133
00:55:31,844 --> 00:55:35,378
TYPICAL SPEEDS FOR SUPERSONIC
AIRCRAFT ARE GREATER
1134
00:55:35,380 --> 00:55:38,148
THAN 750 MILES PER HOUR,
1135
00:55:38,150 --> 00:55:41,418
BUT LESS THAN
1,500 MILES PER HOUR
1136
00:55:41,420 --> 00:55:46,355
AND THE MACH NUMBER, M,
IS GREATER THAN ONE.
1137
00:55:46,357 --> 00:55:50,427
AS IN MACH 1,
MACH 2, OR MACH 3.
1138
00:55:50,429 --> 00:55:52,529
COOL SKIES.
1139
00:55:52,531 --> 00:55:55,866
SUBSEQUENT EXPERIMENTAL
SUPERSONIC JETS
1140
00:55:55,868 --> 00:55:58,835
WERE BUILT
AFTER THE BELL X-1A
1141
00:55:58,837 --> 00:56:02,105
PROVED THAT HUMANS
COULD FLY SUPERSONICALLY.
1142
00:56:02,107 --> 00:56:04,840
THE AERODYNAMICS
OF THESE EARLY AIRCRAFT
1143
00:56:04,842 --> 00:56:08,244
IS USED ON MODERN
SUPERSONIC FIGHTER AIRCRAFT.
1144
00:56:08,246 --> 00:56:11,181
THERE HAVE BEEN
SEVERAL EFFORTS TO DEVELOP
1145
00:56:11,183 --> 00:56:14,083
COST-EFFECTIVE
SUPERSONIC AIRLINERS.
1146
00:56:14,085 --> 00:56:18,454
THE RUSSIAN TU-144
AND THE ANGLO FRENCH CONCORDE
1147
00:56:18,456 --> 00:56:22,025
WENT INTO SERVICE
IN THE EARLY 1970S,
1148
00:56:22,027 --> 00:56:24,427
BUT WERE FINANCIAL FAILURES.
1149
00:56:24,429 --> 00:56:28,498
WHAT IS THE FIRST JET AND WHO IS THE FIRST
PERSON TO BREAK THE SPEED OF SOUND?
1150
00:56:28,500 --> 00:56:33,469
THE BELL X-1
ON 14 OCTOBER, 1947
1151
00:56:33,471 --> 00:56:38,375
BECAME THE FIRST AIRCRAFT
TO BREAK THE SPEED OF SOUND.
1152
00:56:38,377 --> 00:56:43,313
IT WAS PILOTED BY NONE OTHER THAN
AIR FORCE CAPTAIN CHUCK YEAGER
1153
00:56:43,315 --> 00:56:47,951
WHO ALSO BECAME THE VERY FIRST
PILOT TO BREAK THE SPEED OF SOUND.
1154
00:56:47,953 --> 00:56:50,587
HEY, GUMDROP, I THINK
WE JUST FOUND OUT THE ANSWER
1155
00:56:50,589 --> 00:56:53,889
TO COMMANDER AIRHEAD'S
"WHO FLEW" QUESTION.
1156
00:56:53,891 --> 00:56:55,491
YOU'RE RIGHT, VROOMER.
1157
00:56:55,493 --> 00:56:57,494
THE BELL X-1
HOLDS THE RECORD
1158
00:56:57,496 --> 00:56:59,862
FOR FIRST JET
TO BREAK THE SPEED OF SOUND.
1159
00:56:59,864 --> 00:57:03,032
AND CAPTAIN CHUCK YEAGER
WAS ITS PILOT.
1160
00:57:03,034 --> 00:57:06,136
CONGRATULATIONS
ON FINDING THE ANSWER
1161
00:57:06,138 --> 00:57:09,873
TO THIS MISSION'S "WHO FLEW"
QUESTION, WINGED SCOUTS.
1162
00:57:09,875 --> 00:57:12,909
COMMANDER AIRHEAD
WILL BE PROUD OF YOU.
1163
00:57:12,911 --> 00:57:15,148
NO ENGINES ABOUT IT.
1164
00:57:21,987 --> 00:57:24,887
FANTASTIC WORK,
WINGED SCOUTS.
1165
00:57:24,889 --> 00:57:28,257
YOUR MISSION
WAS A GREAT SUCCESS.
1166
00:57:28,259 --> 00:57:32,195
YOU'RE WELL ON YOUR WAY
TO BECOMING OUR MOST HEIGHTENED
1167
00:57:32,197 --> 00:57:35,030
AND ENLIGHTENED PLANES.
1168
00:57:35,032 --> 00:57:36,599
VROOM, VROOM!
1169
00:57:36,601 --> 00:57:40,302
VRR... AWESOME!
1170
00:57:40,304 --> 00:57:43,139
SAY, WERE YOU, UH,
1171
00:57:43,141 --> 00:57:47,978
WERE YOU ABLE TO FIND THE ANSWER TO
THIS MISSION'S "WHO FLEW" QUESTION?
1172
00:57:47,980 --> 00:57:50,346
YES, COMMANDER AIRHEAD,
WE SURE DID.
1173
00:57:50,348 --> 00:57:52,415
THE BELL X-1
HOLDS THE RECORD
1174
00:57:52,417 --> 00:57:54,985
FOR FIRST JET
TO BREAK THE SPEED OF SOUND.
1175
00:57:54,987 --> 00:57:58,520
YES,
ON THE 14TH OF OCTOBER, 1947,
1176
00:57:58,522 --> 00:58:03,125
THE BELL X-1 BECAME THE FIRST
AIRCRAFT TO BREAK THE SPEED OF SOUND.
1177
00:58:03,127 --> 00:58:06,295
IT WAS PILOTED BY
AIR FORCE CAPTAIN CHUCK YEAGER
1178
00:58:06,297 --> 00:58:08,998
WHO ALSO BECAME
THE VERY FIRST PILOT
1179
00:58:09,000 --> 00:58:11,500
THE BREAK THE SPEED OF SOUND.
1180
00:58:11,502 --> 00:58:13,335
THAT'S GREAT.
1181
00:58:13,337 --> 00:58:15,538
GOOD JOB, WINGED SCOUTS.
1182
00:58:15,540 --> 00:58:18,340
WHAT'S OUR NEXT MISSION,
COMMANDER AIRHEAD?
1183
00:58:18,342 --> 00:58:23,413
YOUR NEXT MISSION IS GOING
TO BE YOUR MOST INCREDIBLE YET.
1184
00:58:23,415 --> 00:58:27,616
WE WANT YOU TO LEARN
ABOUT MODERN JETS.
1185
00:58:27,618 --> 00:58:29,319
MODERN JETS?
1186
00:58:29,321 --> 00:58:32,922
SUPER COOL-L-L-L!
1187
00:58:32,924 --> 00:58:35,692
FOR ALL THE BUMPY FLIGHTS,
CAN'T WAIT!
1188
00:58:35,694 --> 00:58:37,393
YAY!
1189
00:58:37,395 --> 00:58:40,063
WINGED SCOUTS READY TO FLY,
COMMANDER AIRHEAD.
1190
00:58:40,065 --> 00:58:41,230
WINGED SCOUTS.
1191
00:58:41,232 --> 00:58:44,567
VROOM, VROOM!
1192
00:58:44,569 --> 00:58:46,503
HOORAY!
1193
00:58:46,505 --> 00:58:49,306
I CAN'T WAIT TO GET STARTED.
1194
00:58:49,308 --> 00:58:52,108
ME NEITHER,
THIS IS GONNA BE FUN.
1195
00:58:52,110 --> 00:58:53,442
GUMDROP, VROOMER,
1196
00:58:53,444 --> 00:58:55,679
I CAN'T BEGIN TO TELL YOU
1197
00:58:55,681 --> 00:58:59,014
HOW MUCH YOUR DEDICATION
TO LEARNING
1198
00:58:59,016 --> 00:59:01,083

00:59:24,476 --> 00:59:28,311
ACROSS TIME,
AND SPACE AND BEYOND.
1209
00:59:28,313 --> 00:59:32,114
YOU MUST KEEP YOUR LITTLE
METAL NOSES POINTED AHEAD,
1210
00:59:32,116 --> 00:59:33,717
YOUR MOTORS HUMMING,
1211
00:59:33,719 --> 00:59:37,186
AND YOUR WINGS PERKED

1216
00:59:50,335 --> 00:59:54,737
THIS IS SURE TO BE A CHALLENGING
MISSION, LITTLE ONES.
1217
00:59:54,739 --> 00:59:58,141
OOH, TELL ME MORE,
I LOVE CHALLENGING MISSIONS.
1218
00:59:58,143 --> 01:00:01,777
SOUND BARRIER BRAIN BLAST,
ME TOO!
1219
01:00:01,779 --> 01:00:04,179
I'M SENDING YOU TWO
ON A MISSION
1220
01:00:04,181 --> 01:00:07,416
TO LEARN ABOUT MODERN JETS.
1221
01:00:07,418 --> 01:00:08,784
MODERN JETS?
1222
01:00:08,786 --> 01:00:10,686
HOW COOL.
1223
01:00:10,688 --> 01:00:12,355
CAN'T WAIT.
1224
01:00:12,357 --> 01:00:15,358
IT'S UP TO YOU
TO LEARN ALL ABOUT IT
1225
01:00:15,360 --> 01:00:19,061
AND REPORT BACK TO ME
WITH WHAT YOU HAVE DISCOVERED.
1226
01:00:19,063 --> 01:00:21,163
FLAPPING FUN WINGS.
1227
01:00:21,165 --> 01:00:24,134
THIS IS GOING TO BE
AN INCREDIBLE ADVENTURE.
1228
01:00:24,136 --> 01:00:27,737
WHAT CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT THE
MODERN JETS, COMMANDER AIRHEAD?
1229
01:00:27,739 --> 01:00:33,076
WELL, THE FIRST JETS
WERE BUILT OVER 1,000 YEARS AGO.
1230
01:00:33,078 --> 01:00:37,413
AND OVER THAT TIME, DURING
TIMES OF WAR AND IN BETWEEN,
1231
01:00:37,415 --> 01:00:40,215
THERE HAS BEEN
TREMENDOUS BREAKTHROUGH
1232
01:00:40,217 --> 01:00:42,819
IN THE MANUFACTURING
OF BOTH COMMERCIAL
1233
01:00:42,821 --> 01:00:44,587
AND FIGHTER JETS.
1234
01:00:44,589 --> 01:00:47,157
NUMEROUS TESTS
AND MODIFICATIONS
1235
01:00:47,159 --> 01:00:51,326
HAVE LED TO WHAT WE KNOW
AS MODERN JETS TODAY.
1236
01:00:51,328 --> 01:00:54,563
WOW, I CAN'T WAIT
TO FIND OUT MORE.
1237
01:00:54,565 --> 01:00:58,300
MODERN JETS?
SOUNDS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING.
1238
01:00:58,302 --> 01:01:01,070
AS YOU KNOW,
VROOMER AND GUMDROP,
1239
01:01:01,072 --> 01:01:03,139
TO BE ALL YOU CAN BE,
1240
01:01:03,141 --> 01:01:05,375
YOU MUST FIND OUT AND LEARN
1241
01:01:05,377 --> 01:01:09,244
TONS OF AMAZING FACTS
ABOUT AIRPLANES.
1242
01:01:09,246 --> 01:01:11,181
YES, COMMANDER AIRHEAD.
1243
01:01:11,183 --> 01:01:13,849
VROOM, VROOM!
1244
01:01:13,851 --> 01:01:15,485
WE WILL!
1245
01:01:15,487 --> 01:01:17,186
EXCELLENT.
1246
01:01:17,188 --> 01:01:20,255
YOU MUST ALSO KNOW
THERE IS A QUESTION
1247
01:01:20,257 --> 01:01:25,728
THAT ALL THE BRIGHTEST FLYING
MINDS ALL OVER THE WORLD SKIES
1248
01:01:25,730 --> 01:01:29,666
HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE
TO ANSWER ABOUT MODERN JETS.
1249
01:01:29,668 --> 01:01:32,302
WE NEED YOU TWO WINGED SCOUTS
1250
01:01:32,304 --> 01:01:37,172
TO HELP US ANSWER THE "WHO
FLEW"QUESTION ABOUT MODERN JETS.
1251
01:01:37,174 --> 01:01:38,641
"WHO FLEW" QUESTION?
1252
01:01:38,643 --> 01:01:40,175
LOVE IT.
1253
01:01:40,177 --> 01:01:42,311
WHAT IS THE QUESTION,
COMMANDER AIRHEAD?
1254
01:01:42,313 --> 01:01:45,415
WHAT IS THE FASTEST MODERN JET
1255
01:01:45,417 --> 01:01:48,550
AND WHAT IS ITS MAXIMUM SPEED?
1256
01:01:48,552 --> 01:01:51,688
THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION,
COMMANDER AIRHEAD.
1257
01:01:51,690 --> 01:01:54,556
WE'LL LAND THE ANSWER
IN A SPIN OF A PROPELLER.
1258
01:01:54,558 --> 01:01:56,192
I'M SURE.
1259
01:01:56,194 --> 01:01:57,559
I WILL ASSIGN YOU
1260
01:01:57,561 --> 01:02:00,462
THE BEST WINGED SCOUT HELPER
IN THE WORLD.
1261
01:02:00,464 --> 01:02:02,431
HIS NAME IS WILLY WIDGET.
1262
01:02:02,433 --> 01:02:04,433
HE'S A ROBOTIC ENCYCLOPEDIA
1263
01:02:04,435 --> 01:02:06,835
OF AIRCRAFT KNOWLEDGE.
1264
01:02:06,837 --> 01:02:10,507
HE WILL ASSIST
YOU ON YOUR MISSION.
1265
01:02:10,509 --> 01:02:12,175
OUR BOT.
1266
01:02:12,177 --> 01:02:14,143
IT'S ALWAYS SUNNY SKIES
1267
01:02:14,145 --> 01:02:16,212
WITH OLE WILLY WIDGET.
1268
01:02:16,214 --> 01:02:20,884
BE SURE TO ASK A LOT
OF QUESTIONS, WINGED SCOUTS.
1269
01:02:20,886 --> 01:02:23,920
AS ALWAYS,
WILLY KNOWS IT ALL.
1270
01:02:23,922 --> 01:02:26,688
YAY!
1271
01:02:26,690 --> 01:02:29,791
WINGED SCOUTS READY TO FLY,
COMMANDER AIRHEAD.
1272
01:02:29,793 --> 01:02:31,261
WINGED SCOUTS.
1273
01:02:31,263 --> 01:02:33,395
VROOM, VROOM!
1274
01:02:33,397 --> 01:02:36,166
VROOM, VROOM, VROOM, VROOM,
VROOM, VROOM, VROOM
1275
01:02:36,168 --> 01:02:37,800
HOORAY!
1276
01:02:49,380 --> 01:02:51,181
WINGED SCOUTS!
1277
01:02:51,183 --> 01:02:53,550
READY TO GET STARTED
ON YOUR NEXT ADVENTURE?
1278
01:02:53,552 --> 01:02:55,585
YES, SUPER READY.
1279
01:02:55,587 --> 01:02:56,920
IS THE SKY BLUE?
1280
01:02:56,922 --> 01:02:58,621
REMEMBER, WINGED SCOUTS,
1281
01:02:58,623 --> 01:03:00,822
ANY AND ALL QUESTIONS
YOU HAVE
1282
01:03:00,824 --> 01:03:03,592
I'M HERE TO ANSWER THEM.
1283
01:03:03,594 --> 01:03:05,427
WHERE DO WE BEGIN?
1284
01:03:05,429 --> 01:03:07,462
MORE THAN 100 YEARS AGO,
1285
01:03:07,464 --> 01:03:09,299
ORVILLE AND WILBUR WRIGHT
1286
01:03:09,301 --> 01:03:11,266
TAUGHT MANKIND HOW TO FLY.
1287
01:03:11,268 --> 01:03:12,701
AND EVER SINCE THEN,
1288
01:03:12,703 --> 01:03:14,603
THERE HAS BEEN REPLICATIONS,
1289
01:03:14,605 --> 01:03:16,838
IMPROVEMENTS AND MODIFICATIONS
1290
01:03:16,840 --> 01:03:19,708
THAT HAVE SEEN JETS
DO NUMEROUS FEATS
1291
01:03:19,710 --> 01:03:22,277
ONCE CONSIDERED IMPOSSIBLE.
1292
01:03:22,279 --> 01:03:24,746
THE FIRST JET
TO BREAK THE SPEED OF SOUND,
1293
01:03:24,748 --> 01:03:27,683
THE BELL X-1
PILOTED BY CHARLES YEAGER
1294
01:03:27,685 --> 01:03:29,985
IN 1947 SET THE PACE.
1295
01:03:29,987 --> 01:03:31,788
AND EVER SINCE THEN,
1296
01:03:31,790 --> 01:03:33,590
OTHERS HAVE FOLLOWED.
1297
01:03:33,592 --> 01:03:35,425
WHOA!
1298
01:03:35,427 --> 01:03:38,962
TO SEE SOME OF THE LATEST
IN MODERN FIFTH-GENERATION JETS,
1299
01:03:38,964 --> 01:03:42,864
WE WILL HAVE TO
TRAVEL ACROSS THE WORLD
1300
01:03:42,866 --> 01:03:44,601
TO MANY COUNTRIES.
1301
01:03:44,603 --> 01:03:47,369
WINGS UP,
LET'S GO HAVE SOME FUN!
1302
01:03:47,371 --> 01:03:48,574
YEAH!
1303
01:03:51,942 --> 01:03:55,445
IN RUSSIA, THERE HAVE BEEN
SOME TREMENDOUS BREAKTHROUGHS
1304
01:03:55,447 --> 01:03:57,813
WITH THE FOURTH-GENERATION
JET FIGHTERS.
1305
01:03:57,815 --> 01:03:59,748
MIKOYAN MIG-29
1306
01:03:59,750 --> 01:04:01,951
AND SUKHOI SU-27.
1307
01:04:01,953 --> 01:04:04,253
BUT RECENTLY,
THEY HAVE DEVELOPED
1308
01:04:04,255 --> 01:04:07,322
THE FIFTH-GENERATION
SUKHOI SU-35,
1309
01:04:07,324 --> 01:04:10,525
WHICH IS AN IMPROVEMENT
ON THE SU-27.
1310
01:04:10,527 --> 01:04:14,896
AND BELONGS ON THE TOP TEN
MODERN JETS OF THE CENTURY.
1311
01:04:14,898 --> 01:04:18,000
THERE'S ALSO
A NEW SUKHOI PAK FA
1312
01:04:18,002 --> 01:04:20,969
STEALTHY SUPERIOR AIR FIGHTER
JET BEING DEVELOPED.
1313
01:04:20,971 --> 01:04:23,473
SAY, WHAT'S THE MAXIMUM SPEED
1314
01:04:23,475 --> 01:04:25,675
OF THE SUKHOI SU-35?
1315
01:04:25,677 --> 01:04:29,279
THE SUKHOI SU-35
HAS A MAXIMUM SPEED
1316
01:04:29,281 --> 01:04:33,815
AT ALTITUDE
OF 2,410 KILOMETERS PER HOUR
1317
01:04:33,817 --> 01:04:36,319
OR MACH 2.25.
1318
01:04:36,321 --> 01:04:37,887
INCREDIBLE.
1319
01:04:37,889 --> 01:04:41,623
HIT MY PLANE BRAIN WITH MORE
COOL INFO, WILLY WIDGET.
1320
01:04:41,625 --> 01:04:43,525
BY LATE 2010,
1321
01:04:43,527 --> 01:04:45,862
CHINA DESIGNED TWO PROTOTYPES
1322
01:04:45,864 --> 01:04:47,829
OF THE CHENGDU J-20
1323
01:04:47,831 --> 01:04:50,400
AND BEGAN HIGH-SPEED
TAXI TRIALS.
1324
01:04:50,402 --> 01:04:52,735
THE J-20 MADE ITS FIRST FLIGHT
1325
01:04:52,737 --> 01:04:55,070
IN JANUARY 2011.
1326
01:04:55,072 --> 01:04:57,706
IN DECEMBER 2015,
1327
01:04:57,708 --> 01:05:01,643
A NEW J-20
WITH SERIAL NUMBER 2101
1328
01:05:01,645 --> 01:05:05,815
WAS SEEN LEAVING ITS CHENGDU
AVIATION CORPORATION FACTORY.
1329
01:05:05,817 --> 01:05:09,418
IT IS BELIEVED TO BE
THE FIRST OF THE LOW-RATE
1330
01:05:09,420 --> 01:05:11,487
INITIAL PRODUCTION AIRCRAFT.
1331
01:05:11,489 --> 01:05:14,389
THE 2101 CONDUCTED
ITS MAIDEN FLIGHT
1332
01:05:14,391 --> 01:05:16,659
IN JANUARY 2016.
1333
01:05:16,661 --> 01:05:19,661
BLASTING ENGINES,
THAT'S AMAZING.
1334
01:05:19,663 --> 01:05:22,431
THERE WERE RUMORS
OF A POSSIBLE PROTOTYPE
1335
01:05:22,433 --> 01:05:25,768
OF THE F-60,
NAMED THE SHENYANG J-31,
1336
01:05:25,770 --> 01:05:28,404
WHICH WAS LATER LAUNCHED
AND MADE ITS MAIDEN FLIGHT
1337
01:05:28,406 --> 01:05:30,706
IN OCTOBER, 2012.
1338
01:05:30,708 --> 01:05:33,041
VERY INTERESTING.
1339
01:05:33,043 --> 01:05:34,777
WHAT HAPPENED NEXT, WILLY?
1340
01:05:34,779 --> 01:05:36,913
EXCELLENT QUESTION, GUMDROP.
1341
01:05:36,915 --> 01:05:38,947
THE UNITED STATES
HAS REMAINED
1342
01:05:38,949 --> 01:05:41,351
ONE OF THE LEADERS
IN BUILDING MODERN JETS.
1343
01:05:41,353 --> 01:05:44,020
THEY OWN SOME OF
THE BEST MODERN JETS
1344
01:05:44,022 --> 01:05:47,357
AND THEIR LOCKHEED MARTIN
BOEING F-22 RAPTOR
1345
01:05:47,359 --> 01:05:50,726
IS THE MOST SUPERIOR JET
EVER PRODUCED.
1346
01:05:50,728 --> 01:05:54,096
AND IS ALMOST
INVISIBLE TO RADARS.
1347
01:05:54,098 --> 01:05:57,366
IT CARRIES A POWERFUL ARRAY
OF WEAPONRY
1348
01:05:57,368 --> 01:05:59,134
AND REMAINS THE MOST ADVANCED
1349
01:05:59,136 --> 01:06:03,706
AND MOST EXPENSIVE PRODUCTION
FIGHTER AIRCRAFT TO DATE.
1350
01:06:03,708 --> 01:06:04,974
WHOA!
1351
01:06:04,976 --> 01:06:06,409
FUN FACTOID.
1352
01:06:06,411 --> 01:06:08,811
ARE ALL THE MODERN JETS
FIGHTER JETS?
1353
01:06:08,813 --> 01:06:11,447
THAT'S A VERY QUESTION,
VROOMER.
1354
01:06:11,449 --> 01:06:14,550
NOT ALL THE MODERN JETS
ARE FIGHTER JETS
1355
01:06:14,552 --> 01:06:17,487
AS THERE ARE ALSO
SOME PASSENGER JETS.
1356
01:06:17,489 --> 01:06:21,623
PASSENGER JETS USUALLY
HAVE TWO OR FOUR JET ENGINES.
1357
01:06:21,625 --> 01:06:25,094
THREE-ENGINE DESIGNS
WERE POPULAR IN THE 1970S,
1358
01:06:25,096 --> 01:06:27,529
BUT ARE LESS COMMON TODAY.
1359
01:06:27,531 --> 01:06:29,665
HIGH-FLYING FACTOID.
1360
01:06:29,667 --> 01:06:33,469
WHAT WERE THE FIRST PASSENGER
JET PLANES EVER MADE, WILLY?
1361
01:06:33,471 --> 01:06:37,407
THE FIRST JET AIRLINER WAS
THE BRITISH DE HAVILLAND COMET,
1362
01:06:37,409 --> 01:06:40,409
WHICH FIRST FLEW IN 1949.
1363
01:06:40,411 --> 01:06:42,712
ALSO DEVELOPED IN 1949
1364
01:06:42,714 --> 01:06:46,047
WAS THE AVRO CANADA
C102 JETLINER,
1365
01:06:46,049 --> 01:06:48,918
WHICH SADLY NEVER
REACHED PRODUCTION.
1366
01:06:48,920 --> 01:06:50,585
WHOA-OH-OH.
1367
01:06:50,587 --> 01:06:53,889
FACTOID COOLER
THAN ICICLES ON MY PROPELLERS
1368
01:06:53,891 --> 01:06:55,958
AFTER AN ICY FLIGHT.
1369
01:06:55,960 --> 01:06:57,692
WHAT ARE SOME OF THE NEWEST
1370
01:06:57,694 --> 01:06:59,929
MODERN PASSENGER JETS,
WILLY WIDGET?
1371
01:06:59,931 --> 01:07:01,864
EXCELLENT QUESTION, VROOMER.
1372
01:07:01,866 --> 01:07:05,867
THE FRENCH AIRBUS A350 XWB
1373
01:07:05,869 --> 01:07:10,038
AND THE AMERICAN BOEING
787-9 DREAMLINER
1374
01:07:10,040 --> 01:07:13,775
ARE CURRENTLY PERHAPS
THE TWO MOST ADVANCED
1375
01:07:13,777 --> 01:07:15,710
PASSENGER JETS IN THE WORLD.
1376
01:07:15,712 --> 01:07:17,846
AND ARE STILL IN PRODUCTION.
1377
01:07:17,848 --> 01:07:19,882
ARE ALL PASSENGER JETS CAPABLE
1378
01:07:19,884 --> 01:07:22,050
OF SUPERSONIC FLIGHT,
WILLY WIDGET?
1379
01:07:22,052 --> 01:07:24,686
VERY GOOD QUESTION, VROOMER.
1380
01:07:24,688 --> 01:07:27,690
I SEE YOU ARE KEEPING
A KEEN MIND.
1381
01:07:27,692 --> 01:07:30,592
NO JET AIRLINER,
OTHER THAN THE CONCORDE,
1382
01:07:30,594 --> 01:07:33,462
IS CAPABLE
OF SUPERSONIC FLIGHT.
1383
01:07:33,464 --> 01:07:36,065
IS THE CONCORDE
STILL OPERATIONAL TODAY?
1384
01:07:36,067 --> 01:07:39,869
NO, GUMDROP,
THE AEROSPATIALE/BAC CONCORDE
1385
01:07:39,871 --> 01:07:43,005
DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
IN 2003.
1386
01:07:43,007 --> 01:07:44,239
WHOA!
1387
01:07:44,241 --> 01:07:46,141
HOW WAS THE CONCORDE POWERED?
1388
01:07:46,143 --> 01:07:49,945
THE CONCORDE WAS POWERED
WITH THE OLYMPUS 320 TURBO JET,
1389
01:07:49,947 --> 01:07:52,148
A DEVELOPMENT
OF THE BRISTOL ENGINE
1390
01:07:52,150 --> 01:07:54,951
FIRST USED
FOR THE AVRO VULCAN BOMBER.
1391
01:07:54,953 --> 01:07:56,585
WHOA.
1392
01:07:56,587 --> 01:07:59,721
HOOTING TOOTING TURBINES.
1393
01:07:59,723 --> 01:08:01,924
THOSE ARE SOME COOL TERMS.
1394
01:08:01,926 --> 01:08:04,694
MANY COUNTRIES
SUCH AS CHINA, JAPAN,
1395
01:08:04,696 --> 01:08:07,929
RUSSIA, FRANCE,
UNITED STATES AND THE UK
1396
01:08:07,931 --> 01:08:09,732
ARE ALL MAKING EFFORTS
1397
01:08:09,734 --> 01:08:12,534
TOWARD DEVELOPING
SIXTH-GENERATION JETS,
1398
01:08:12,536 --> 01:08:16,506
WHICH WILL BE THE FUTURE
OF THE MODERN WORLD.
1399
01:08:16,508 --> 01:08:20,243
SOME OF THESE JETS INCLUDE
THE RUSSIAN MIKOYAN MIG-41,
1400
01:08:20,245 --> 01:08:23,278
THE JAPANESE
MITSUBISHI X-2 SHINSHIN
1401
01:08:23,280 --> 01:08:25,213
AND LOTS MORE!
1402
01:08:25,215 --> 01:08:27,582
WHOO-HOO!
1403
01:08:27,584 --> 01:08:29,752
YAY!
1404
01:08:29,754 --> 01:08:32,121
RECENTLY,
LOCKHEED MARTIN ENGINEERS
1405
01:08:32,123 --> 01:08:34,657
HAVE DEVELOPED
A BOX WING CONCEPT
1406
01:08:34,659 --> 01:08:37,792
TO FIND NEW WAYS
TO REDUCE FUEL BURN
1407
01:08:37,794 --> 01:08:41,663
WITHOUT ABANDONING THE BASIC
SHAPE OF CURRENT AIRCRAFT.
1408
01:08:41,665 --> 01:08:43,765
ADAPTING
THE LIGHTWEIGHT MATERIALS
1409
01:08:43,767 --> 01:08:47,636
FOUND IN THE F-22
AND F-35 FIGHTER JETS,
1410
01:08:47,638 --> 01:08:50,605
THEY DESIGNED
A LOOPED WING CONFIGURATION
1411
01:08:50,607 --> 01:08:55,176
THAT WOULD INCREASE
THE LIFT-TO-DRAG RATIO BY 16%,
1412
01:08:55,178 --> 01:08:57,747
MAKING IT POSSIBLE
TO FLY FURTHER
1413
01:08:57,749 --> 01:08:59,180
USING LESS FUEL
1414
01:08:59,182 --> 01:09:01,716
WHILE STILL
FITTING INTO AIRPORT GATES.
1415
01:09:01,718 --> 01:09:03,853
COOL SKIES.
1416
01:09:03,855 --> 01:09:07,088
THE FIRST ERA OF COMMERCIAL
SUPERSONIC TRANSPORTATION
1417
01:09:07,090 --> 01:09:10,826
ENDED ON NOVEMBER 26TH, 2003
1418
01:09:10,828 --> 01:09:13,996
WITH THE FINAL FLIGHT
OF THAT CONCORDE I MENTIONED,
1419
01:09:13,998 --> 01:09:18,000
A NOISY, INEFFICIENT
AND HIGH-POLLUTING AIRCRAFT.
1420
01:09:18,002 --> 01:09:20,235
BUT THE DREAM
OF A SUB-THREE-HOUR
1421
01:09:20,237 --> 01:09:22,104
CROSS-COUNTRY FLIGHT LINGERED.
1422
01:09:22,106 --> 01:09:25,574
AND IN 2010,
DESIGNERS AT LOCKHEED MARTIN
1423
01:09:25,576 --> 01:09:29,945
PRESENTED THE MACH 1.6
SUPERSONIC GREEN MACHINE.
1424
01:09:29,947 --> 01:09:32,180
THE PLANE'S
VARIABLE CYCLE ENGINES
1425
01:09:32,182 --> 01:09:36,786
IMPROVED EFFICIENCY BY SWITCHING
TO CONVENTIONAL TURBOFAN MODE
1426
01:09:36,788 --> 01:09:38,220
DURING TAKEOFF AND LANDING.
1427
01:09:38,222 --> 01:09:40,288
COMBUSTORS BUILT
INTO THE ENGINE
1428
01:09:40,290 --> 01:09:45,661
WOULD REDUCE NITROGEN OXIDE
POLLUTION BY 75%.
1429
01:09:45,663 --> 01:09:48,096
WHAT IS THE FASTER MODERN JET?
1430
01:09:48,098 --> 01:09:50,198
AND WHAT IS ITS MAXIMUM SPEED?
1431
01:09:50,200 --> 01:09:53,068
OH, THE ROCKET-POWERED X-15
1432
01:09:53,070 --> 01:09:54,936
HOLDS THE OFFICIAL WORLD RECORD
1433
01:09:54,938 --> 01:09:58,274
FOR THE FASTEST SPEED EVER
REACHED BY A MANNED AIRCRAFT,
1434
01:09:58,276 --> 01:10:00,743
MACH 6.72,
1435
01:10:00,745 --> 01:10:04,846
WHICH IS 6.72 TIMES
THE SPEED OF SOUND
1436
01:10:04,848 --> 01:10:09,150
OR 4,520 MILES PER HOUR.
1437
01:10:09,152 --> 01:10:12,188
HEY, GUMDROP,
I THINK WE JUST FOUND THE ANSWER
1438
01:10:12,190 --> 01:10:15,091
TO COMMANDER AIRHEAD'S
"WHO FLEW" QUESTION.
1439
01:10:15,093 --> 01:10:16,792
YOU'RE RIGHT, VROOMER.
1440
01:10:16,794 --> 01:10:19,295
THE RECORD GOES
TO THE X-15 AIRCRAFT.
1441
01:10:19,297 --> 01:10:21,963
CONGRATULATIONS
ON FINDING THE ANSWER
1442
01:10:21,965 --> 01:10:25,701
TO THIS MISSION'S "WHO FLEW"
QUESTION, WINGED SCOUTS.
1443
01:10:25,703 --> 01:10:29,137
COMMANDER AIRHEAD
WILL BE PROUD OF YOU.
1444
01:10:29,139 --> 01:10:30,875
NO PISTONS ABOUT IT.
1445
01:10:37,714 --> 01:10:40,416
FANTASTIC WORK, WINGED SCOUTS.
1446
01:10:40,418 --> 01:10:43,685
YOUR MISSION
WAS A GREAT SUCCESS.
1447
01:10:43,687 --> 01:10:47,723
LIKE ALWAYS,
YOU TWO NEVER LET US DOWN.
1448
01:10:47,725 --> 01:10:49,692
UNTIL IT'S TIME
TO LAND, RIGHT?
1449
01:10:51,228 --> 01:10:54,162
SAY, WERE YOU ABLE TO FIND
1450
01:10:54,164 --> 01:10:58,067
THE ANSWER TO THIS MISSION'S
"WHO FLEW" QUESTION?
1451
01:10:58,069 --> 01:11:00,802
YES, COMMANDER AIRHEAD,
WE SURE DID.
1452
01:11:00,804 --> 01:11:04,105
THE OFFICIAL RECORD
GOES TO THE ROCKET-POWERED X-15
1453
01:11:04,107 --> 01:11:07,710
FOR THE FASTEST SPEED EVER
REACHED BY A MANNED AIRCRAFT.
1454
01:11:07,712 --> 01:11:11,447
THE FASTEST MODERN JET
IS THE ROCKET-POWERED X-15
1455
01:11:11,449 --> 01:11:14,183
WITH A SPEED OF MACH 6.72,
1456
01:11:14,185 --> 01:11:17,886
WHICH IS 6.72 TIMES
THE SPEED OF SOUND
1457
01:11:17,888 --> 01:11:21,890
OR 5,520 MILES PER HOUR.
1458
01:11:21,892 --> 01:11:23,826
THAT'S GREAT!
1459
01:11:23,828 --> 01:11:25,927
GOOD JOB, WINGED SCOUTS.
1460
01:11:25,929 --> 01:11:28,997
WHAT'S OUR NEXT MISSION,
COMMANDER AIRHEAD?
1461
01:11:28,999 --> 01:11:34,069
YOUR NEXT MISSION IS GOING
TO BE YOUR MOST INCREDIBLE YET.
1462
01:11:34,071 --> 01:11:38,274
WE WANT YOU TO LEARN ABOUT
THE WORLD'S FASTEST JETS.
1463
01:11:38,276 --> 01:11:41,342
THE WORLD'S FASTEST JETS? WOW!
1464
01:11:41,344 --> 01:11:43,011
COOL!
1465
01:11:43,013 --> 01:11:44,880
FOR ALL THE BUMPY FLIGHTS,
1466
01:11:44,882 --> 01:11:46,381
CAN'T WAIT TO GET STARTED.
1467
01:11:46,383 --> 01:11:48,016
YAY!
1468
01:11:48,018 --> 01:11:50,286
WINGED SCOUTS READY TO FLY,
COMMANDER AIRHEAD.
1469
01:11:50,288 --> 01:11:53,456
- WINGED SCOUTS.
- VROOM, VROOM!
1470
01:11:53,458 --> 01:11:55,024
HOORAY!
1471
01:11:55,026 --> 01:11:57,225
YOU KNOW,
I'M PRETTY FAST MYSELF.
1472
01:11:57,227 --> 01:11:59,127
IF I DO SAY SO.
1473
01:11:59,129 --> 01:12:03,099
BUT YOU'RE NOT THE WORLD'S
FASTEST FAST, VROOMER.
1474
01:12:03,101 --> 01:12:05,734
YOU GUYS ARE STILL YOUNG.
1475
01:12:05,736 --> 01:12:09,240
THERE'S ALWAYS TIME FOR GROWTH,
WINGED SCOUTS.
