What Happened to the Loudest Plane in History? #shorts

The F-84 Thunderscreech was a propeller plane that could fly at close to the speed of sound. Built during the jet age, it was meant to combine the best of speed and maneuverability. There was just one problem... it was so loud it was a hazard to anyone who got near it, including the pilot. Unsurprisingly, only two were ever made. #shorts

The sonic booms coming out of the propellers would blast chunks out of the concrete runway & could give people seizures. One of the test pilots, Lin Hendrix, told an engineer after the flight "You aren't big enough and there aren't enough of you to get me in that thing again."

The carrier in the video is the video is the Lexington CV 16 which is now a museum here in Corpus Christi, Texas.

It broke the sound barrier but the engineers chose the wrong sound barrier

Technically a stealth aircraft, cuz the enemy won't hear anything after this plane flies over

They said that you could hear it from 50 miles away 😂

Beyond underachieving everything, it was so distacting and schill like, it would make ground crew abandon thier posts because it would cause vertigo and nausea.

Give this a coutrarotary prop, make it a drone and you will get a great weapon

Aren't the Tu-95's propellers also loud due to similar circumstances? I think they also approach supersonic speeds
