Building a V22 Osprey - Part 1

You’re out here doing things with my code that I didn’t even think were possible! Awesome progress on such an ambitious project. Can’t wait to see the fuselage on there

I had no idea motors could be controlled so precisely and so quickly. Amazing idea and execution, mate.

When I was 14 I watched you make interesting RC-planes. Now I’m 20 and studying to be an engineer partly because of you. And your videos have advanced so much i’m just in awe every time I watch your newest one. 🇳🇴🇬🇧

Hadn't seen your old helicopter video, so the solution to accelerate / decelerate using the BLDC motor multiple times a rotation was completely new and SUCH a great idea, taking full advantage of the capabilities of the brushless motor. Awesome video!

This variable pitch technique is nothing short of amazing.

Best practical engineering channel on YouTube hands-down.

Very impressive. As always , I don’t know another channel that brings engineering in the RC hobby so seamlessly. Always pushing forward . Keep it up

Your ability to intuitively trouble shoot these incredibly complex designs is beyond impressive

I apparently need to go back and watch your last video about the single-motor variable pitch blade. it's absolutely astonishing how well that works. Gaining degrees of freedom by modulating a single output and not adding an extra motor OR controller is brilliant. Awesome project! edit: does flying that way take a significant efficiency hit? I'd guess that with a sufficiently complex controller, you could get regenerative breaking for half the cycle, throw a mid-size capacitor inline with the controller and be in business! Part of me was wondering if a "real" helicopter could be built this way, but it seems like you'd need a lot of extra complexity to dynamically oscillate the speed of a gas engine output and the standard mechanism may be easier?

It is said that the rigidity between the nacelles is important for a side-by-side tiltrotor aircraft, but I was able to understand it well by watching the slow motion of this movie. There are so many different moments that make the spar vibrate!

I can't wait for part 2! You should definitely do some testing at some interesting location with a camera on the plane.

arguably the best example of the "engineering process." he finds a problem, fixes it. another one, fixes that too. and keeps fixing until he gets where he wants to be. ive never designed or made something and have it work right off the bat. it takes time but dont get discouraged.

This. Is. Amazing. I love the fact that you show all the steps taken to test and build this aircraft. Pure engineering channel !

Love to see the swashplateless tech coming back on this channel!

Your methodology for testing is incredible. It's logical, and quite calming to watch. Great build!

Very clever Stanton - your lateral thinking is commendable!

I'm hyped! Your approach to this project is awsome, and one can really see the learnings you've had throughout the years of making these projects. Really happy that you're sharing this with us, can't wait for part 2.

The R&D procces insight in your videos is just so freaking cool!

The real hero here is the thermal camera. Those things are so darn useful when trying to find faulty components.

I am always impressed by your engeneering-skills. This rotor setup is just brilliant. Thanks for your videos, they are always a pleasure to watch!
