20 Smallest Mini Aircraft In The World

The comment, “when an airplane loses one of its engines, it’s going down like a stone” is incorrect, misleading, and irresponsible. You are obviously not a pilot.

3:12 and the cover pic are NOT REAL. The least they could have done is connect the props and make them the right size. Another fake. You're a fool if you believe many of these are real.😂

The Russian one seems to be a AI generated image.

Yes. The Russian one is an obvious fake. Just look at propellor blades closely. I think you’ve been had.

Thumbs down for clickbait.

Sorry I stopped watching after the second plane shown was clearly an AI image but the narrator continued to talk about it like it was real.

Too much RC aircraft footage

The McDONNELL XF-85 ‘Goblin’ was designed to work with the B-36 during the Cold War, not WW2. The F-84 on the trapeze was the proof-of-concept for the FICON (Fighter Conveyer/Fighter in Convair) project which combined an Republic RF-84K reconnaissance aircraft with a Convair GRB-36D reconnaissance bomber. This bizarre system was actually operational for about a year in the mid-1950s, but was made redundant by the U-2 and satellite program. The F-84 on the wingtip of the B-29 was part of project Tip-Toe, another attempt to provide B-36s with escort fighters. The theory was sound, attaching the F-84 to the B-29 wingtip actually improved the left efficiency of the B-29 wing. Project. Was cancelled after instability in flight saw an F-84 roll/crash onto the B-29 wing, the crash killing all on board both craft. The other problem was the F-84 pilot would be stuck in his cockpit for 24-36 hours (B-36 missions tended to be long), so his combat effectiveness was questionable.

Have you ever played the game ''Spot The Difference'' | Time stamp 3:15 Everything about those engines is wrong, the props aren't centered and there's 2 propeller blades that are NOT on the propeller spindles.- it's quite comical! | Time stamp 4:00 You said ''the other issue is at the nose of the craft, the designers apparently tried to make a craft so small that they were forced to have some of the engine parts and devices stick out...'' | It's obvious that the engines are under the wings, not in the nose! I built model airplanes when I was a kid!

Bally's Bomber, the Amazing flyable Mini B-17 should have been included in this list.

Coors ran a BD5J around airshows in the 80s dubbed, the Coors Silver Bullet.

Why in #13 ur talkin' about small manned planes but all ur showin' is RC planes. 🤔 Did those planes actually fly?

Whoever created that thumbnail title pic has no concept of aircraft design.

Yes the Russian aircraft is photo shopped those are jet engines they don't have props

Many multi-engine aircraft can fly and land safely after losing an engine. That is the whole point of flight test, to build something that can cope with mechanical failure.

many of the images and video are not of real aircraft, but screen grabs from simulators, models, or AI generated images. the fact that the narrator is making up stories about them is appalling.

Almost all of these aircraft will be labeled as Experimental aircraft because it is a requirement in the US to do so. The only way to not do so is to get it certified through a very long and expensive process with the FAA. Most of these aircraft are either in the development stage (not yet to the point to start the certification process), or they are home/kit built. All kit built aircraft are required to be labeled as experimental.

The "Russian plne" is in fact simply a ground-only craft for drawing attention at events. The CriCri is actually French slang for Cricket.

15:40 Goblin was ordered 1 month after World War II was over and flight testing began in 1948 according to the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force.

Those were a combination of storage panel covers/interior heating/oil radiators that close into the fuselage.
