Smallest Mini Aircraft In The World
Переглядів 4,707,446
День томуTo start flying can be very expensive. As the size of an airplane does affect the prices, we have a look at the smallest mini aircraft in the world today. All of the mini aircraft come with an engine and can be operated by a pilot. Some of the mini aircraft engine are in the ultralight aircraft category and some are even compliant with the Part 103 regulation which means you can fly those mini planes without a license in the US. We even found an insane small helicopter for the ones that are more interested in helicopters than in jet.
Would you fly a mini airplane? Tell us in the comments below!

With the twin Williams FJX-1 engines, the CMC Leopard had a *top speed of 540 mph,* not 345 (and this plane was designed in the 1980s). It had a pressurized cabin with a service ceiling of 55,000 feet and a climb rate of 6,340 feet per minute. With those specs, *the plane could have flown coast to coast in about 4 hours.* Unfortunately, due to suppliers going out of business, the project became stalled. Eventually, the owner of the project passed away, and it seems likely that this plane will never ever achieve commercial success.

Do you know the cost of purchase and ownership ?
@thebonesaw..4634 2 роки тому
@@mr.america9806 -- Is your google broken? Sure, I've got nothing better to do, I'll be your personal assistant. Says here the purchase price of a Leopard Six (which seats six peoples) is $2.35 million American dollars. Operating costs are going to be a bit harder since the damn thing isn't operational yet; but... using a Lear 60 (which seats 9, including the pilot and copilot) it costs a bit over $800,000 per year for 200 flight hours, or... $1.2 million for 400 flight hours. HOWEVER... the thrust of a single Pratt & Whitney PW305A on the Lear 60 is 4,700 to 8,000 lbs. While the thrust of the Williams FJX-1 is a scant 700 lbs (the Leopard six is tiny). Ergo, fuel costs are going to be massively lower. I would estimate it would be well bellow $300,000 per year for 200 hours of operation.

The Leopard is a fascinating mini-jet. If ever put into production, and if relatively affordable, it would surely attract buyers because with a range of up to 2200 miles it could, theoretically, be used to fly trans-oceanic North America to Europe, with a refuelling in Azores.

I used to work for the company that made the twin engine at the beginning of the video, in the early 80s. In Canada it was called the cricket. In France it’s called the Cri Cri. The wing ribs were made of foam they were cut out then baked in an oven to harden them.

Back in the early 80's there was a guy that used to frequent the FBO I worked at at Hawthorne, CA (KHHR) who had built a CriCri (Cricket) that he used to show off at local and regional airshows. I remember that the plane was painted with a green that very much matched the name of the plane... CRICKET. I don't even remember his name, but do recall that he was a pretty big dude and was always impressed that he even fit into the cockpit, much less flown the thing. Last I heard was that this guy died in some sort of incident with the plane.

Yes, it does make it zero emissions. Emissions created in production are not the same as emissions created by the product. It's always odd when people claim this. Regular ICE automobiles are created using vastly more emissions but the emissions in production are not counted. It's just nonsense to attempt to belittle electric vehicles this way as if no one knows.
@chevyon37s 2 роки тому
Emissions are considered what the vehicles emits as its in use. You’re referring to the carbon footprint, which is the total of emissions from production and over the life cycle of the vehicle. Yea it sounds simple to just call it the emissions. But the greenies and climate change crazies use it as marketing and I’m glad people are starting to wake up to the BS that is “zero emission” vehicles.

@mmpiforall5913 2 роки тому
The BD-5 / BD-5J where great flyers, but had a deadly pitch-up to a stall as soon as the engine quit, the pilot must push the stick forwards to nose over right away even at high altitudes. Why? the engine trust line was way above the centerline of the airframe. During powered flight, built in nose up bias compensates the hi trust line of the engine. The prop version with an engine failure was worst for an immediate nose-up stall since the stationary prop also caused drag. If a pilot was not fully versed on this issue the results often was fatal. Would I still fly one? Yeah.

The smallest mini aircrafts that I seen Close to Baldwin park in LA CA between 1980-1982 had the Capacity to takeoff and land without even needing an airstrip. The pilot could literally fly it to a house in a residential area, land in the middle of the street, Then jump out to go get his lunch then jump right back in and fly off without much effort. It was not a dream because me and some other kids watched it happen on three occasions in the night while we was standing on the playground at Hillcrest elementary school.

One of the major issues with aircraft that are that light is that if there's any appreciable wind then good luck controlling it never mind getting it back on the ground. I speak from personal experience because once I was dumb enough to fly one of these deathtraps (prop driven, not a jet). I'm a commercial pilot btw so I know how to fly. I took off in calm conditions but about 40 minutes later when I returned and tried to land (small airport, 1,700 foot runway) there was a nasty crosswind gusting across the field, nothing that would have meant a thing in any real airplane; a Piper or Cessna single engine for instance. But I couldn't get the thing on the ground, it was getting blown all over the place, it was like trying to fly a butterfly. Finally, after I can't recall how many attempts I was almost out of fuel (I knew this because the fuel tank was a plastic container behind my seat) I just came in and planted the thing in the grass next to the runway. It was no longer flyable after that but I didn't give a shit by that point because other than some bruises I was still alive...never ever again.

Empty weight doesn't include fuel. That 200lbs useful load on the Stits SA-2A Sky Baby means you could carry a 140lbs pilot and 10 gallons of fuel (~6lbs/gal). Considering even small aircraft engines burn in excess of 10gph during climb, that isn't much flight time.

Overall, this was entertaining and informative. If you can back-dub, please correct the reference to B36, which never served in action in WWII. B17 and B29, which you illustrated, did serve. One such error can cost credibility on everything you say.

@@crunchybro123 in this case, dear editor, you lose a day's pay. The idiom "to stomach" refers to an ability to experience something gory and maintain one's composure, whereas "guts" is normally applied to one's ability to be brave and push forward in the face of fear. Thus "stomach" is correct usage here when referring to an amputation (gory) and the location of this amputation on the body AND the inability to maintain one's composure during that amputation. Your "edit" would utterly change the meaning of the quip, making it confusing. Please feel free to "slap" yourself.

@jimgriggs2184 2 роки тому
@@9HighFlyer9 yeah, I wasn't really differentiating between the pusher and the jet. They are effectively the same airframe. The bede 5 was flying way earlier than they said. However, their argument would be where they said it was available as a kit. And that may be true, I really don't know when kits became available, fairly recently I would think. Until then they were plans built. But either way, to dismiss all of those plans built pushers is being disingenuous, they've been flying for a half century, long before the 90s they mentioned.
