The Spitfire's Fatal Flaw

We are nearly at 100,000 subscribers! Thank you so much! Every year I set a goal for myself. In 2014 it was to win my Gaelic Football teams "Most Improved Player Award" and last year it was to learn how to animate. It's important to set goals for yourself and give yourself something to be proud of, but I couldn't have done this without your support!

What I learned from the video: My toilet won’t work upside down.

I will tell you what has no Fatal Flaws

Love how the first picture in the video is a Hurricane 😂

"There are few planes that are as admired as the Supermarine Spitfire"

Boy, I do not wat to be a jerk, but the airplane in the opening scene is NOT a Spitfire. It is a Hawker Hurricane! Better place some remarks about that...

[brianking]

I think the most unique part of the Spit was the elliptical wing. A discussion of this wing, why it was used, and the pros and cons of this type would be a nice "engineering" discussion.

[WildlifeKit]

It was called “Ms. Shillings Orifice” by the RAF pilots

[pigpig]

Battle of Britain is a brilliant film. Because it was filmed using hundreds of real aircraft, which could not be done today, it holds up extremely well even 50 years later

[TheDastan]

early video from 1969 is a hurricane not a spitty.

1: It crashes into the ground when its shot enough

[pandjitandyolegowo]

There are few planes in history that are admired just like a spitfire

As soon as I saw the title I though "It's the carburetor problem, isn't it?"

[mycomments]

The fatal flaw of the Spitfire is that it is apparently a Hurricane.

[steveross]

Wrong The Merlin Engines Fatal would have been more accurate...

[localnyraccoon]

1:02 this is legit what you learn at a school for aviation, great stuff.

[StephenMorganCanada]

Why show Hurricanes taking off? As for the carbs flaw, pilots learned to roll before a dive to keep carbs feed.

[AkaAndyKnuckles]

Amusing to open the Spitfire movie with a Hawker Hurricane.

[christopherwilson]

Enter the Germans with fuel injection. Got to hand it to them, they knew how to design a brilliant aircraft

[DavidSiebert]

One the plane you show having an engine issue was not a Spitfire but a Hurricane also it was performing a barrel roll which does not involve negative gs.

Fatal Flaw in a video about Spitfires: Continually showing a Hawker Hurricane, a completely different airplane.
