Nice save.

The best air race oilot ever.

Nice CG

 

[GagHalfrunt]

Soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo fake.

 

[nick1985]

holy shit.

 

[SlitheryDee]

I thought that was a R/C plane right up until the end. Serious whoa moment there...

 

[iamwiz82]

That is ridiculously fake.

I noticed that something was odd when the plane was flying away from the camera and not getting any smaller. Then the ending was of course recockulously fake.

 

[BrokenVisage]

I was waiting for it to turn into a Decepticon, so fake it's real!

 

[NikolaeVarius]

Watched it for 5 seconds before figuring out it was fake.

Real plane > camera goes "out of focus" > RC plane > camera goes out of focus > real plane with right wing conveniently out of view.

OMG, epic pilot! *head explodes*

Best oilot indeed

the fake is strong with this one.

That actually would have been funny.

If it is fake the control surfaces all match what the plane is doing. So if it is fake, at least it is a decent one. the bounce on landing looks all wrong though.

 

[hiromizu]

Just to toss this in, a real plane CAN do this. There was a case where an F15 landed safely. As long as you have enough airspeed where the existing control surfaces are effective enough, a pilot may be able to successfully control the plane to safety..or at least minimize catastrophe. Catch is that most likely your airspeed would be so great that you'll be coming in much faster than usual.

It looks to be a model air plane, and then when the screen goes blank( blue sky blank) it becomes digital. it probably crashed, and that guy who was running to the air plane was looking at the crashed one on the ground

Um f-15 and this plane are sooo different. Only reason the F-15 was able to do that is it has 2 engines and 2 tail fins. A plane like this could never ever do that.

Ok smartypants, explain how an extra engine and a vertical stabilizer will make a difference in this scenario? Did you see how the plane was banked 90* to essentially convert the elevators and existing wing into a vertical stabilizer/single aileron while the vertical stabilizer which is short and close to the fuselage was converted into a single sided elevator? That essentially meets the requirements for a controlled albeit dodgy flight. It's entirely possible.

That was so fake at the end. I'd really like to believe it was real, but there's no way.

F.A.K.E.

The F-15 was able to continue flying (at greatly increased airspeed) because the fuselage of the F-15 also generates lift. At high enough speeds, the F-15's fuselage is a lifting body.

Now, in this case, if it's real (which I doubt), the driving factor would be a very light plane and a very powerful engine, essentially an engine with enough power to allow the plane to accelerate in a vertical climb (i.e. thrust > weight). In that case, what happens is that the pilot was able to use the engine and propeller to generate lift and take advantage of the front-heavy center of gravity to slow the plane to low ground speed and then intentionally stall causing a "crash" from a height of about 5-10 feet. Still, I sincerely doubt that it's real.

33% scale RC version that is not fake

Although if there were a pilot in this one things would not have ended as well.
