As a Fallout Nerd *and* Aviation Nerd I am the happiest person in the world right now...

[jackcausey]

ahh yes, the vertibird the greatest explosive known to man

[Walter_Stroud]

At Anchorage, there was no sweeter sound to my unit than the sound of the Stingray whenever we got one for CAS. I can still hear that sound to this day.

[FoundAndExplained]

Trying out a slightly different type of video on the channel! Thought I would go over the different aircraft in fallout. let me know your thoughts

[StofenThest]

Man if you want a series that focuses on kooky planes based off of real designs you should look up stuff for Crimson Skies and Skycrawlers. Crimson Skies is a dieselpunk world set in the 1930s after America got balkanized and is almost entirely focused on being air pirates with zeppelins. Meanwhile the Skycrawlers is a novel/anime series where conventional war has ended and been replaced with PMCs getting hired to settle disputes with aerial dogfights. Crimson Skies is more American designs while Sky Crawlers is there for the Japanese side of things.

Couple of corrections:
4:54 - that Vertibird is not an official design. It's a cargo Vertibird drawn by a Gray-Skull.
7:40 - Just because those Stingrays are next to the Sea of Tranquility section doesn't mean they actually belong to that section. Elsewhere in the same mural we have biplanes next to the four-turreted USS Missouri and a Minuteman in front of the WW1 era tank.

The idea of those passenger planes being able to fly for ages makes for a funny idea, a flight of people who managed to survive the bombing, rarely if ever landing and those who stayed aboard turning them into self sufficient environments.

Would make for a super cool set piece in a fallout game set within the first 100 years after the war.

YES DUDE, bring one the fictional stuff! And as an Ace Combat fan, I am putting my vote up for the world of Strangereal! You could have an episode dedicated to Gründer Industries alone!

[omegavalwin]

Im so happy you show the different Virtibirds as some people think the ones in 4 are the ones from 3. but they are different models

[longtsun]

The US Navy did fly a variant of the Lockheed P-80 from its decks: the T2V SeaStar trainer, later redesignated "T-1A." No folding wings, though.

[TK]

FYI, the Fallout Vertibirds are tilt wing craft, meaning their engines and wings tilt up. While the US currently uses tilt engine/rotator designs in the Osprey and soon to be deployed Valor. Meaning only the engines/rotators tilt up and down the wings stay fixed.

[prolfinator]

i like how he handwaves northrop flying wings after mentioning the america bomber, that wasnt a flying wing, and the ho 229. you can almost sense the approval and disdain in his voice. "as well as northrops like seriously dude

[mpleandre]

I've been a huge fan of exploring Fallout's prewar stuff in-game. And as an aviation enthusiast, I remember spending hours just examining the P80-like jet at the carrier in F3, and looking at the Vertibird's propeller in F4. I always loved this about Fallout, that the imagination from the game is clearly inspired on crazy, cold war designs, particularly from the soviets. Fallout planes make me think if the Ekranoplan and all those retro futuristic ideas.

[Rigel_Chiokis]

The vertibird is formidable, true. Except in Fallout 4 wher the Brotherhood will use a vertibird to attack someone and in a minute or less it is shot out of the sky. They hardly ever survive. Also, they always go towards the player while crashing.

The cargo plane does not have a high wing. The wing root is at the bottom of the fuselage, which makes it a low wing, but it does appear to have some dihedral which would give it stability. A high wing would be rooted at the top of the fuselage.

[spazzey]

Awesome! I never thought YOU would be the one to cover all these aircraft, they're so wacky and I love them for it.

[ThePrecipice]

Loved coming across the Horizon airliners in the Commonwealth. They also remind me a bit of the Junkers G.38 because of the passenger lounges in the wings.

[tjh]

Grumman made the F9F Panther, which was basically a P-80 with just a couple changes to the shape of the airframe and folding wings. I know they were not made by the same manufacturer, but they were very, very similar.

[wyattdoran]

This video was so good now I want you to make more fallout stuff just because of how amazing it was

[BabaGrill-cbzn]

*Love how me and buddies are just replaying the fallouts series and you make this!*

[boy_ka]

Well, this is the first that he put a video on a fictional aircraft.
