Estonian Soldier reacts to vertical take-off
Video Summary
Estonia’s air force is sadly lacking, but the country can dream. The video discusses the Finnish brand, Real Engineering, and their explanation of vertical takeoff technology. The video highlights the limitations of traditional jet fighters, explaining that they require a runway to take off and land. The author then delves into the history of VTOL (vertical takeoff and landing) aircraft, which date back to World War II. The British Harrier, a VTOL jet, was developed in the 1960s and played a significant role in several military conflicts. The video explains the challenges of VTOL technology, such as controlling the plane’s roll, pitch, and yaw in vertical takeoff mode. The author concludes that the Harrier’s vertical takeoff capability was revolutionary, and its technology has paved the way for newer aircraft like the F-35. The author expresses his fascination with the technology and enthusiasm for the potential of VTOL aircraft, even if Estonia itself cannot currently afford to develop such technology.
