Why Do Backwards Wings Exist?

Does somebody want to know if aircraft with oblique wings could fly?

I ain't understand shit

Cause it looks cool

Who is disliking this video it's about airplanes

Would you ever do a video on what a Quinjet from the Marvel universe would fly like? Or if it’s design is even close to reasonable?

They do this for fun and looks, even birds doesnt have backward wings because its against the flow of the system of flying on earth. We only see this in scifi movies flying in space and other planets having different atmosphere.😂😂😂

Can someone summarize for me?

What's his accent called?

I didn't understand a single thing I heard in this video

I'll admit. This is probably the hardest to understand USclip video I've watched, and there's nothing wrong with the presentation.

8:22 what about that shit for the mars wheels rover thing that remembers form etc..?

In case you gotta fly backwards DUH

I think the x29 could be done even better today,especially with the computers we have

6:30, that transition didn't even mention reverse swept wings lol. Just started talking about it.

X 27 looks cool but su 47 looks way cooler

Aweso.e video, thank you. Could you please do an episode about how and why whe dont have a single perfect speaker/tranducer(or driver). It is not well known what is a point source and why ot ia so impossivle to make a perfect one. Would much apreciate it. Audio reproduction is far from figured out.

Do the XF-84h next

They exist to look cool

germans are always first when it comes to innovation

So basically, all the amazing technology we have today is because someone wanted the most easiest way kill someone in the most brutal way possible.
Good to know.

I figured they made the planes just because you look badass

i wonder why they don't just use a bird version instead of a plane,

The WWll need to happened b4 for the US, UK and USSR can CAPTURE any cool NAZI designers and scientist, not to mention the Jew bankers of NYSE🤔

you got to admit it tho, the germans rocket and airplane tech was far head the rest of the world back in the 30's and 40's

how have i been watching videos and movies with planes, as well as learning about lift since i was 11, yet have never seen footage of a planes wings flexing from lift.
i feel cheated

Facts are very good in the video, but at 6:20 about wing tip stall. It's not just about ailerons being stalled, if only one wing tip stalls it will produce a very large moment arm and very forcefully roll the aircraft. So for this reason wings are specifically designed to stall (and are better to stall) at the root where lift is lost with minimal roll effect.

Mission failed :
Didn't understand, Too stupid

I've actually wondered this ever since I built a model, x-29, that had reverse wings. I wasn't sure if they had printed the graphics wrong. Apparently, I never thought to check on this. Now I know. Weird how life goes full circle after like 27 years.

Does this mean no real life X-02 or the ADF-01?
*NOOOOOOOOOO*

the answer is so simple: cause they look cool man!

Honestly I think wolfenstein is accurate, if the war kept going or Germany won we'd have laser and colonies on the moon lol

Kinda boring to watch despite being well explained.

boring!!

Was there anything the Germans WERENT working on during the end of WWII?!

I didn't understand a word of this (despite being familar with Calc and Trig) and yet I have a stiffy. OMG! Am I a closeted aerosexual?

Just the fucking machinery we make man. Damn.

Anyone else watching this at 3am?

Videos like this make me wish I'd become an engineer or a pilot instead of an evil lawyer.

Love the video. Just one thing. Knowledge was meant to be passed on, never sold.

Gotta admire the German engineers.

why do youtube recommend this to me ? i don't understand a single thing

I was looking around for what was making the squeaking sound in my room... after 5 min i realized it was in the video XD

Is this guy Irish? That sounds like an Irish accent.

All I really know is that human minds are incredible.. using elements to create science to create gadgets and stuff that makes humans fly in the air.

It's fitting that a video about planes would fly right over my head.

Misleading title as the wings aren't backwards. The wing still has a leading edge and a tailing edge. A wing by definition doesn't say anything about being angled ahead, to the side or to the back "swept".

Because engineers want to break the rules of life

@ 39 seconds in, did he say Junker, same family that runs the EU?

or to put it simply cuz why not

Im watching this at 1 in the morning while taking a shit wtf is wrong with me

Wat is "stall" you are talking about? I'm not a native speaker, can't quite understand what it is and why it is bad.

Wow Germans were incredibly smart during ww11

I thought the problem with the P-38 was caused by the front and rear wings being located along the same line on the plane. This meant at high speed the front wing split the air, which didn't come back together in time for the rear wing to make use of it.

Huh?

Because it looks cooler and prevents AA fire.
"Should we fire at that plane?"
"Are you kidding me? His plane has forward swept wings. And it's black. _MATTE_ Black! You really wanna fuck with a pilot like that?"
"Good point"

I really love your videos, but I can't stand these high-pitch squeaking sounds during animation. Please, please, don't use them again! :D

AHHH THAT S THE REASON
now it seriously makes sense

Doesn’t mean they won’t start it back up...new computers technology has jumped 40 fold

Cool video. Just a note - the spar is generally built into the leading edge of the wing.

A question I didn't know I needed answered.
