The term "simply copying" in engineering is merely a contradiction because the involved effort is never simple and the final product is never a direct copy. Reverse engineering has become a popular and appealing narrative in modern aircraft histories, often giving the false impression that "copying" someone else's work is simpler, cheaper, faster, and more practical than creating your own design. However, in reality, reverse engineering can prove more costly, less efficient, and more troublesome than straightforward engineering. Generally, it is always better to design and engineer your own product rather than trying to understand the reasoning behind another engineer's designs, especially when that engineer is unavailable for questioning.

...more than 700 USN aircraft destroyed in accidents, in 1954 alone? That can't be accurate...

This is a wonderful and informative video. Thank you!

The first plane with a great radar in WarThunder. I made a lot of kills, feeling like an AWACS, where none else had a radar. Good bombs also.

The f86 asserted its dominance over WHOM

just "think of" any SU 11 with those Huge Cannons! Also used in "ground attack?" think of 57 0r 75mm? auto, nevermind the smaller ones, all with Prox fussed ammo? WHOOOW? ARTY from God? and not much good hi speed AA at the time.

Stalin and the West didn't want to copy it because...the Me 262 was crap. It's what happens when you put a prototype into production lacking the materials needed to produce it.

Even in Nazi Germany ongoing desogns would have made the Me 262 obsolete if the war had somehow continued (and Berlin hadn't won the Nuke sweep stakes from Hiroshima). While the HO (or Go) 229 flying wings are a darling of many but I think the FW Ta 183 (which had won the contest against the Me P1901 for the next fighter) would have replaced the production of Me 262s if time allowed. However at the end of the day it was the lack of critical materials to make lasting and stronger turbo jet engines which was always going to cripple Germany's ability to keep up with the Allies.

Captured German technology n technicians played a big roll for Russias first jet powered jet fighters.

Yak-28: Nothing wrong! LFAX-9: Man...

Chechia is not a western country apparently 😂

Great video...👍

A good 10% of the video is waffling about how it's not good compared to a second generation jet fighter, when in the same video we have to remember it's France's *first* generation jet fighter. Try building a jet fighter when your country has been levelled flat, torn apart by Vichy traitors, it's brains drained by escaping Europe and Operation Paperclip 😅 Russia, USA both had industrial might and Paperclip, the UK whilst recovering had already made progress into jet designs nationally at least.

I had no idea _any version_ of the _Mirage_ was designed with a rocket engine.

Are You nuts? Stalin's engineers copied the Me-262, but only with 1 engine. The jet is called MiG-15.

The _F-100 Super Sabre_ is a REALLY COOL looking fighter.

@notapound >>> Another great video...👍

An uncontrolled drone wreaks havoc in 1950s Australia...😊

@notapound >>> Great vid...👍

Because the ME 262 was a pig of a plane - good performance, yes, but the engines had a flight life of 10 hours each.

The MiG 15 was a German design with a British engine.

One of the greatest blinders of all time.. was Britain gifting jet engine tech to Russia.. within a few years the Russians were using them against British pilots over Korea …

You get the very best photographs and film. I tip my hat to you.

According to some documentation, the UK sold the jet engines to the Soviet in exchange for payment to be made in Gold Bullion that the UK desperately needed at that time.

It has to hold the #1 spot on the top chase plane list, yes?

10:00 The mighty Kiwi!🥰

@notapound >>> Great video...👍

**crackle** _Watch for chutes_ W T F ?!😢

RIP Mr. Brown. I have no doubt he tried to save that asset. I would love to know how the F-5 faired against the MIG-17. Makes you wonder why there were only 2 rounds.🤔 Seeing how the F-5 was used as an agressor for decades and decades says a lot to me. Maybe they didn’t want that information getting back to Northrop.🤨

@notapound >>> Great video...👍

The triple engine design at 6:48 looks interesting. Could a triple engine design have helped with the lack of power?

Shouldn't this one be "Every Pound for Air to Ground"?

Think 2 are in museums naval an USMC I have a book about WW2 eara jets the his was featured

Block was prewar name of compiney change to Dassault after because he was Jewish his brother was in French resident Dassault was his code name

Wow, great video. Must have put a ton of work into a topic that only appeals to DCS players and a few enthusiasts - yet you made the video. Probably won't bring you riches, but it will bring you recognition - so once again: thanks!

I would like to see a video about electronic warfare in Korea. I thought that was a pretty cool topic you brought up in this video. Let me know if I could be of any help if you do decide to make a video about that subject.

Copying makes an very big part in the history of flight development everyone did everyone does.

Is ot true that they also got Patent rights about Jet engines from rols royce?

I wonder how dod they called their Program of summoning Scientists and packing them off in Russia. The American Army callrd it Operation Paperclipp

No it wasn't. It was designed and built to rival the mig21. Which did it with one engine.

Bonjour , merci . On sent bien que vous êtes anglo-saxon , votre suffisance et votre sentiment de supériorité est flagrant . Je comprends mieux les raisons pour lesquelles beaucoup de pays vous jugent durement . Ceci dit , vos vidéos sont géniales . Au revoir et bonne journée .

Somehow a Spinal Tap reference made it Into this!

The reason was the German jet engines were crap, none of the Russian aircraft that were built using these engines were successful. The MiG-15 used a copied Rolls Royce Nene

centrifugal flow engines were just more mature at the time vs axial flow and easier to integrate

I cannot tell you how much I enjoy all your aviation videos. You lay out the facts and history so clearly, concisely, and entertainingly that it makes them compelling even if the chosen subject wasn't about my favorite aircraft. I served 7 years in the USAF and have a pretty good understanding of USAF aircraft history and have found everything you say is accurate. I also love that your videos are narrated by you and not a digital bot which I hate. Keep up the good work. BTW I love your English accent, it so reminds of my English grandmother.

*stupid Brits had no business giving RR jets engines to the Reds*
