Animated History Of Aviation

[grinch8302]

no love for helicopters huh



[charly981000]

beatiful



[pixelkatten]

Is it just me or are the UVU models way more detailed than the rest? Is it because they used the same model that they used as reference when they built the plane or is it because they want to make you subconsciusly feel that their planes are superior?

[uvuaviation]

@pixelkatten All of the models were created with as much accuracy as possible. Most have less detail because the actual subject had less detail. With that said, more time was spent on the "UVU model" because we can reuse it for many other trainings such as engine systems, instruments and more. That extra detail isn't really seen in this video because it is on the inside of the aircraft. There was no intention to make our models better than the others, but that wouldn't have been a bad idea.

[pixelkatten]

@uvuaviation I suspected that the UVU model was reused/was going to be reused. However, note that the UVU model actually has rendered propellers while the rest of the models (except Spirit of St. Louis) only have a particle effect. It's an acceptable way too reduce rendering times, but my point stands. I can accept the lack of minor details on the other models though, and when I rewatched the video I noticed that you actually managed to get some of the more minor details in! Good work!

[bencoleman1994]

AWESOME! definitely going to use in my aviation project

[jeffersonleandro]

Humm.. and Alberto Santos Dumont ?

[lukbotelho]

Where is the Brazilian Alberto Santos-Dumont? The Portuguese priest Bartolomeu de Gusmao? The Portuguese aviators who crossed the Atlantic Ocean, Gago Coutinho and Sacadura Cabral?

[okpepino]

fantastic video !!! is briliant .. but i like think what si name this song .

[5xls]

Very nice.

[Caskirnov]

Very creative! If only people knew as for the ''true'' history of aviation during/after ww2... Nonetheless, I dig the work that has gone into this project.

[uvuaviation]

@Caskirnov Please tell more.

[Caskirnov]

@uvuaviation

Sure. watch?v=xfGqINFNL40&feature=ch­annel_video_title Do and perceive this lecture as you will..Interesting though hmm?

[Goffre29]

What about concorde, B747 and DC3 ?!

[SkyrimBR]

F22 is a evolution

[haitokiashi]

Santos Dumond made the 14-bis that didn't use any kind of "pulling power". He used engine. That's the difference between the Wright brothers and him

[uvuaviation]

@haitokiashi Thanks you

[ciroanimau]

Fantastic video, congrats. I just don't understand the absence of Alberto Santos Dumont, but it's just an advertise, right? So, i keep the congrats.

[uvuaviation]

@ciroanimau Thanks for the compliment. We never thought it would do this well, or that viewers would get so passionate about who is included. Maybe a longer video could be made down the road.

[temaskell08]

where is concorde!????

[cathares651]

superb, but no one can forget the French Conquette in the sky? Bleriot ever heard? Farman? Neighbor?, Ader? The White Bird? Coste and Bellonte? Mermoz, St Ex?, Daurat?, Latécoère?, Has the Rican, we love them, but they lack culture. friendships Richard

[1122chikin]

Iron Man?

[Duuftj]

great! I'm posting this on my blog!!!!

[uvuaviation]

@Duuftj That would be great. Thanks!

[kohjakman]

You forgot Santos Dumont?

[timjohns]

FANTASTIC production. Thanks for making this. Would love to see the MkII version with the inclusion of people such as Sir Charles Kingsford Smith... and Chuck Yeager etc...

[Apocalypto1414]

Jet Engines are missing.... :(

[uvuaviation]

@Apocalypto1414 Maybe in the next version :)

[Outsourcingfighter]

@uvuaviation You forgot the russians! They believe they invented 90% of aviation, (including the first flight!!) and that their fighters from the 1970's were and still are the best in the World :)

[tannerrytube]

@Apocalypto1414 - See "Frank Whittle" at 1:43 and the "DeHavilland Comet" at 2:10

[Jeebs24]

If Spunik 1 is on there, Voyager 1 should be too since it's now billions of kilometers away.

[vwdutra]

What about Santos Dumont? He was the one who flu for the first time!

[samwhamm]

Beautiful

[uvuaviation]

@samwhamm Thank you

[julianreischl]

Really impressive. But I'm also one of those who misses the Concorde, Helicopters, modern Fighter Jets, the Space Shuttle (as well as the Buran), the 747, the A380, the Antonov An-225, and so many more milestones...

[sleepyturd]

so beautiful and brilliant!

[mexgeo86]

Where is CONCORDE?!

[jlvfr]

@mexgeo86 - Indeed. It's the only major fail I see here...

[PeetPeeet]

This is brilliant :) thanks for creating this! There are a few notable absences such as the aforementioned Concorde, Space Shuttle etc, and maybe Igor Sikorsky should be in there too as the father of the modern helicopter - but granted it is a tall order to condense 200 plus years of aviation history into a 3 minute animation sequence, so it's awesome nonetheless. Maybe you should do a long-form version with some more material?

[uvuaviation]

@PeetPeeet We would love to do a longer version with more inclusions. There are so many great aviation stories and innovations.

[mjlmo]

Where is Sacadura Cabral and Gago Coutinho? They conducted the first flight across the South Atlantic Ocean, and also the first using astronomical navigation only, from Lisbon, Portugal, to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The video is fine but you missed some very relevant people...

[aykincakaloz]

I was kinda expecting Lilienthal to crash and die...

[Northern5tar]

Gustav Albin Weisskopf flew first.

[TheArtjom2033]

There are some stations missing, but anyways, great video!

[boblefevere]

Strange that only Frank Whittle was mentioned but nothing about the jet age.. and i would have expected Charles Yeager too. Nice video though, albeit somewhat. incomplete.

[demonbre]

beautiful. simply beautiful. thanks

[FluginVideos]

I love this video ! I've add it to my favorite ! :)

[High9231]

Great video!

[sjoshs1]

Loved the video. Human creativity like this is the reason where we are now when it comes to aviation or any other field.

[uvuaviation]

@sjoshs1 Those are very kind words. Thank you sjoshs1!

[Graystopurples]

Amazing! I love the way you transition between the scenes.

[xZachxxxx]

What a great video! Makes me sad that I'll never be able to pursue my lifelong dream of being a pilot. :(

[High9231]

@xZachxxxx Hey mate, it is never to late! You can always join sport aviation. Today, there are so many ways you can fly. I would fly every aircraft possible, but some years ago my budget allowed only paragliding. I still fly and I am happy I do. Even if you gave me a chance to fly jet fighter I would still wish to share air with bird on my paraglider. Cheers.

[DeusEversor]

out of many countries that had their input noticed in this movie, only american flag is shown.

[tzkelley]

Amelia Earhart!? She got lost and (presumably) crashed out in the middle of nowhere. How is she a great aviator yet so many other men who actually accomplished something weren't listed? Still a good video, though.

[drizzlenumba1]

@tzkelley Go research that woman and cease your disgusting a priori assumptions you docile fool.

[winnmicro]

As a graphic designer and aviator ... I loved it. Great job

[laur1976]

Where is Henry Coanda - first jet plane?

[MrClemonskunkel]

Like the video time line on air travel. 

[RoadWearyPilot]

Very Cool, nice job on the animation.

To you people who are complaining about the omissions, create your own if you think you can do better.

[sgtmajtom06]

Lovely.

[lucienebr]

Many people are missing in the video... But, it's a short video, not a movie!

Aviation is so impressive... I'll be a pilot in my next life... In my current life I was chosen to be a mere physics' teacher... LOL

[henrymarchena78]

MIssed the revolution of 707 and concorde

[Pileits]

Nicely done!

[mahoolywazit]

very, very impressive but I think its missing some elements of the jet age, such as the SR-71, Bell X-1 (First plane to break the sound barrier), the development of fighter jets, and the expansion of jetliners in the late 20th century

[tymntube]

@mahoolywazit I guess you can't include everything. However, the X-1 is a glaring omission.

[pavelavietor1]

hello, well done, i will be st/by for # 2 and do not forget to include Jury Gagarin first in the Cosmos Chuck Jegar and others.You have done a very creative work. thanks God speed

[UtahCitizenNews]

Congratulations! Your video made "Top Story" on the UtahCitizenNews.TV. Keep 'em coming!

[tarduco]

where's Santos Dumont?????

[kittybirg]

What a terrific video!

I was happy to see Lilienthal, as well as some names I'd never even heard of -- more to research!

[informmm]

Where is Yuri Gagarin???

[stime06]

Best Video i've seen in a long time!

[aviationman77]

This is just a great video! I wish people would do less complaining and more creating like this.

[uvuaviation]

@aviationman77 Thanks for the compliment.

[VLUQ915]

amazing video!

[uvuaviation]

@derDon1234 Hey thanks for the kind words!

[Craphaelo]

@derDon1234 Santos Dumont was the first to take off on board an aircraft powered by a gasoline engine. On October 23, 1906, he flew about 60 feet at a height of two to three meters in Paris. Less than a month later, on November 12, before a crowd , walked 220 meters to a height of 6 meters. These flights were first approved by the Aero Club of France , and possibly the first public demonstration of a vehicle taking off on their own, without the need for a ramp for launching.Wikipedia

[castefatown]

AMAZING video!Congratulations!

[uvuaviation]

@castefatown Thank you

[srjscott]

Awesome Work! Well done. For all those folks picking it apart, we'll be waiting to see your version with the parts you feel are missing.

[uvuaviation]

@srjscott Thanks for the kind comments. It's nice to see some positive people out there.

[semli]

With an catapult until stones flies up!

Com catapulta até pedra voa!!!

[aviationman77]

@semli And the slingshots to the rockses!

[sssilva]

The first one to fly and the only recognized by the International authorities is Alberto Santos Dumont! Where are he and his incredible 14 Bis?

[edigleyg3]

Cadê Santos Dumont?

[Mattprotasio]

Where is Santos Dumont?

[xandrebraga]

Where is Santos Dumont and Bartolomeu de Gusmão?!

[malfacini]

Very nice video but incomplete. Where is Alberto Santos-Dumont?

[nesterhaus]

Great video missed the shuttle myself-Thank you for sharing the video!

[semli]

Let ask something:

1. Does the birds flying by themselves or they are throw in the air to fly?

2. Does the airplanes today are flying like Santos Dumont did or like Wright brothers did?

A - I think that is like Santos Dumont did.

3. So where's Santos Dumont's 14 Bis plane in this video?

[aviationman77]

@semli Google Translate...look it up!

[FlyFigueiredo]

Where is Santos Dumont and Bartolomeu de Gusmão?

[nerdtour]

and Santos Dumont?

[Surbrook]

Where's Yuri Gagarin?

[fernandodinvoo]

Where is Santos Dumont?

[cljohnston108]

Where's the Space Shuttle? One would think that the first vehicle able to transition from orbital to atmospheric flight would be noteworthy.

[pmaci56]

it's missing Henri Giffard's drigible on 24 september 1852 he made the first powered and controlled flight

[LeducPierre]

Oups ! from the following link, It would seems that Mr Weisskopf actual words words to his wife as he came back from his first flight where : "'Mama, we went up!"

[LeducPierre]

Please google historynet and  gustave-whitehead-and-the-firs­t-flight-controversy

[LeducPierre]

In the interest of complete rigorous history, Gustav Weisskopf (or Gustav Whitehead) should be included. Not only did he flew (in Connecticut) two years before the brothers but this man was sharing a passion for aviation in a very open way, unlike others whose sole purpose was to attain fame and fortune through patents applications. The very same opposite attitudes are still very prevalent in today's word. 

[LeducPierre]

Additionnaly, it should be mentionned that Mr Weisskopf (his name before he came to America) was considering himself as the humble followers of the many he recognized as having preceeded/inspired him in fulfilling what was then one of Mankind's dreams.

[LeducPierre]

Side note : Gustav Whitehead related text found in Wikipedia has been subjected to quite a few modifications from a single individual who obviously is unconfortable with Mr Whitehead achievement.

[LeducPierre]

Quite funny really, one of this gentleman latest argument was that, should himself have conducted the first powered flight of human history, he would not have been content to simply state to his wife, upon his return to the family dwelling that, at last, "he had done it" (sic !!!!).

[LeducPierre]

Hope you enjoy the reading as the documentation is really quite interesting, as are the flights conducted in both the US and Germany in light of the then upcoming 100th year of flight celebrations.

[stycotl]

very cool animation, aaron.

[ayotteted]

No Concord 

[uvuaviation]

@ayotteted Sorry that isn't in here.

[rayandrestamarasaez]

it's MAGIC!!

[mango1987max]

Pretty cool video, I watched it like 3 times in a row... Very inspirational :D

[uvuaviation]

@mango1987max Thanks

[cheminot1424]

@uvuaviation Two great portuguese aviators were forgoten, Gago Coutinho and Sacadura Cabral, who perfomed the first south atlantic route. They're also knew by the tools brought to the aviation... but it's a cool video. congs

[3bram72]

Awesome video...

[uvuaviation]

@3bram72 Thank you

[xf8b1]

@3bram72

20 people must have crashed and burned. Nice video.

[lukoh]

Where is Santos Dumont in this video?????

[mhoeltken]

@lukoh Or Ohain, Junkers, Messerschmitt, Tank, Rutan, Prandtl, Bernoulli, von Braun, Hirth, Bleriot, Horten, Lippisch, Alexejev, Brockhaus, Karman, Focke, Hänle ... There are just too many inspirational characters in aviation for a short video like this, to mention. Plus, it's okay to be biased on national achievements for an american university, I guess. You have to draw a line somewhere.

[ulisesarcia]

@mhoeltken Alberto Santos Dumont was not included either but there is no enough space on youtube severs for a truly thorough aviation history video.

[mhoeltken]

@ulisesarcia my point, exactly.

[ExcellenceInAll]

This is superb! Bravo UVU for always leading the edge in education!

[bbristow22]

Great job! Nice to see how it has changed over the years.

[uvuaviation]

@bbristow22 Thanks

[lsh2429516]

I Love it~!!!!!!

[Cargospotter]

WOW !

This is probably the best Aviation video on youtube.

[uvuaviation]

@Cargospotter Hey Thanks!

[rayandrestamarasaez]

@Cargospotter I completely agree!!

This vid is AWESOME!!

[rayandrestamarasaez]

@Cargospotter I completely agree!!
