It’s not the world’s largest plane. It’s a proposal. It’s a concept. It’s not a plane. Click bait.

The world's LARGEST Airplane is... not in this video.

Bring back blimps.

Just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy your videos. You really put so much effort into researching the subject and present it any easy to following way. Keep up the great work. 😃👍

Windpower is stupid compared to small nuclear power plants. Nuclear power has NO weather related shortcomings, and no short lifespan, with power available 24/7!

I struggle to follow technical articles with units of pounds, feet, tons, and hp. Can we have a translation to modern SI units?

I seem to recall one airship proposal that was to have a 1000 ton cargo capacity. I may be getting that proposal confused with another, but I believe it wasn’t even supposed to be crewed. It was supposed to be part of a fleet of the world’s largest drones, filling a gap between cargo ships and transport planes. Most likely too ambitious, as I never came across any follow-up on the initial concept.

Wind turbines? Eek! Environmentally unfriendly from start to finish!
-
Seems like small rooftop and bird proof windmills should be available for everyone, a few deep cycle batteries and some low wattage equipment / circuits, could reduce the customers lite bill and help with any power outages. I like the round roof vent turbines

The jet aircraft just doesn’t make any sense unless an airstrip is available relatively close to the build site. Besides why not just do a longer “747 Dreamlifter” like Boeing did instead of a one off. Also the term biggest must be defined, is it by volume, length or carrying capacity? Long vs tail strikes?

Before the 225 was destroy by Russia the 225 landed in Newark international years ago . massive an awe inspiring watched from NJ turnpike .amazing .there has been talk about fixing the 225.as it has a sister ship that was not finished ..please bring her back to life

The stratolaunch will never be feasible to launch things to space, it just gives way to little extra velocity to make any difference, after everything is factored in, you can get a maximum of around 15% more mass into orbit, which is nearly completely offset by the additional hardware required to hang a rocket on a plane, resulting in a net zero gain.

You rock! love this channel so much

I think it should be possible to make a plane that straps onto a wing blade instead of inside a hull. With a bulb cap it's quite aerodynamic. Just needs a wing with a could of engines on and a tail section. Shouldn't be too hard.

That blimp idea is good.....wind turbines maybe not so much

This is a best for airplane rinda - winruner 😮

I see the Boeing Dreamlifter fly by my office regularly which is very niche use for a plane. I think the Windrunner would be similar. Ultimately, it will come down to how many airports it can land on to really determine the worth. If it can't land close then what is the point of having it. The Dreamlifter literally rolls off the runway and up to the factory door, which makes it worth it.

It appears Radia are aiming for an MTOW of 480 tonnes. However, 4 GE-9X engines could support an MTOW of 840 tonnes with a M0.6 cruise at 11,000 metres.
-
There's enough clearance for this to use the forthcomming RR Ultrafan. Imagine 4 of those under the wings!
-
Why not build the blades on-site? Or strap them on top of a C-17 or an A380? Like the space shuttle used to ride on a 747.
