Space shuttle landing on aircraftcarrier. X-Plane.

[djroo200]

what are the keyboard shortcuts to take off

thanks

[Frankfurtflyers]

Where is the Carrier ?????????????????

[Firbychannel]

The aircraft carrier?

[zorrolizhi]

Hi, I wonder anyone knows the speed of the aircraft carrier in the game X-plane 9? Thanks

[templerman]

In October 1963, during moderately rough seas, Lt. James H. Flatley III USN landed a KC-130F Hercules re-fueler with a normal landing weight of 130000 pounds on the deck of U.S.S. Forrestal (CVA-59). The mission, to determine if the C-130 could be used as a "Super COD" aircraft. An L.S.O. named Daugherty gave Flatley an engine "chop" while still three or four feet off the deck. There were several landings and take-offs. The rest as they say is history.

[jetmanflyhigh]

Cool!

[theanimaster]

Sweet. Now if only that were the crazy new USS Nimitz that KhamsinStudio has developed for XPlane. Man.

@railrdr523

Actually it does have brakes they once had a blow out on one of the front tires landing at White sands trying to see if they could stop in a shorter distance.

That was before they added the drag chute.

[v12tommy]

@Membrane556 The orbiter has brakes on the rear wheels, but there has only been one landing at White Sands, and the tires were fine. The orbiter itself did get damaged from the sand and that is why there has only been one landing there. Tires were originally considered as a cause of the Columbia disaster, but were eventually ruled out. There was one orbiter which experienced a blow out, but it was not due to braking.

[bmwnasher]

not possible shuttle would need to be on full power in case of a missed arrestor wire shuttle only glides in.its got no power

[v12tommy]

@bmwnasher even more than that, most people don't realize just how massive the shuttle is. In just weight alone, I don't think the carrier deck could support the orbiter just sitting there, let alone slamming down on the deck. Plus the orbiter is worth almost 3 times what the entire carrier and its contents are worth.

[version1990]

of course it´s possible, you just need low enough speed (and in the case of the carrier: tackling the weight of a space shuttle on landing)

the real thing uses parachutes and a many mile long runway to end the trip

but it´s possible...

[timcaywood]

Carriers have different types of cable settings for the different sizes of aircraft that land. With the proper mods this would be possible. Whether they could ever make it safe or cost efficient is a different story....

[v12tommy]

@timcaywood would never happen. The orbiter weighs more than anything that can land on a carrier, not to mention you could write off 12+ billion dollars if you mess up. You can buy almost 3 new carriers for the same price!! Also NASA doesn't want the military involved in the shuttle program. That was the reason they bought and developed their own 747 transport planes instead of using the C5A for transport.

[jasincl]

@v12tommy dude.......its a Freaking Gme Games are NEVER 100% Realistci

[spreadeagle311]

This could work if the Aircraft Carrier were half a mile long... :)

[norcorabster]

is this the one on ipod

[Braun09tv]

@norcorabster no, on iPod is another one and F-SIM space shuttle which is new

[CrisAndAirTwins]

is this real or flight simulator x

[Hypnixio]

lol u kidding?

ofc its fsx xD

[130diner]

x-plane dumass read the title

[pete5668]

you're busted buddy! The music reminds me of Johntv, the guy that chases hookers on youtube.

[InfiniteSaviour49]

space shuttle are 200 knots in approach so there's no way to land even with a tailhook it will just rip the tali hook off or the cable

[TheFrednutts]

Actually it might just be possible if the Shuttle was equiped with a tow hook, it only needs a 3 mile runway with un-aided (apart from a deployable parachute) brakeing.

[Myfaceisonfirenow]

Lol. nice.

I like the hot air balloons

[tmckinnon1996]

not possible a real space shuttle run way is three miles long and dont say it is not because i went to the JFK space station and i got to walk it a real carrier is about 2 and a half football fields

[VancouverCanucksRock]

yeah a lot of jet fighters require almost that distance, but with a tow hook and cable it may be possible

[tmckinnon1996]

mabye i would have to ask my dad

[samcification]

yes but they dont have anapproach speed of 200 knots

[r0a0v0e0r0]

you have make it with a mac computer

[pizzaking85]

Wow... A peacful little hot air balloon in thr background at, 1:20 Then The S.S.A. Lands on an aircraft carrier...? BTW... What's up with a hot air ballon miles out to sea?

[hwoods01]

Peaceful? A hot air ballon peaceful? They are a silent killer like blood pressure and stroke.

[water8556]

hah sweet!

[cff121]

only in a simulator, my friend.

[Paragon0fVirtue]

Uh-Uh, no way. Cool video but completely impossible. Perhaps if they had a carrier with a 3 mile runway, just maybe. Or when Project Constellation gets started, you may be able to land the Orion capsule on the carrier. But I think they would choose a water landing over trying to attempt that stunt.

[grandw0lf]

Gotta admit. Thats a ballsy landing though.

[srinac]

high overshooting start, fly through left in the middle, major under flat left at the ramp(wave off), Cut Pass-2 ended off runway

[cal920c]

180 knot headwind or tail wind? A glider cant fly that far that level. In reality that would have smacked into the back of the carrier.

[nak0906]

in real life hell no but simulator yes

[OahuLargeScaleTrains]

Folks, the shuttle has no "go around" capability, if it misses all three of the arresting cables, it will go straight into the drink. This is a very unrealistic animation.

[cal920c]

Your so right, the crew would be lost because they can't escape a drowning space shuttle.

[superaerosonictv]

It's cool dude!!!! I wish they could make this happen before ending the shuttle service.

Just for fun!!!! YEAH!(^^,)

[AdmiralMinell]

Sorry, you just can't get a shuttle to fly that slowly. It is so heavy that in order to achieve lift, it has to go damn fast. Normal fighter jets land on carriers at higher speeds than that.

[cal920c]

I'm so sure the cable would just snap and the carrier would take a dunk.

[rusyaidi4]

the line will be snap

[Ahmedhsan]

actually its not possible to land a space shuttle on a carrier.cuz the runway in a carrier is 1/2 of a 1000 ft runway so its v v short.

anyways but still nice landing dude.:-D

[Nails077]

It may not be possible in real life but who cares? Its awesome! Landing a shuttle on a carrier now that is hardcore ;)

[hersheywithalmonds]

there's a cool composite on webshots if you search it

[Membrane556]

Maybe with carrier going flank speed or 38knots into a 100+ mph headwind it might be possible.

[achtsiech]

You got it - I created the video like that.

[godistheway123]

it is impossible in real life. the runway is 1/3 too small and the shuttle will crash

[pritarama]

Great!

[ManganeseMan]

WOW that rocks!  very enjoyable! Yea they use the carrier as an alternate landing site if the weather is bad. Trust me I know.

[Flcracker94]

ummm no, the shuttle could never land on a carrier. They land at KSC, and if the weather is bad they land in California or somehwere out west. If weather sucks at both points, they delay landing

[mattcrash69]

HAHA nice try but impossible, inless!!!!! nah nevermind .

[ilovmash]

wow if you belive that can actually happen i feel for you. first of all the shuttle is going to fast to land on a carrier, second of all the shuttle doesnt have the equipment, third of all the wires that would catch the shuttle would snap, and fourth of all the landing gear of the shuttle would snap off! its hard enough to hit a 500 foot 2 mile long runway from space, think about hitting the fourty foot box that has the cables on the carrier from 34 mile up!

[ilovmash]

500 foot wide sorry about that.

[LampreyMoose]

Dude, pilots land the space shuttle on carriers all the time. I feel for YOU.

[ilovmash]

i feel for you too and whatever shitfor brained person told you that. when i actually see it done ill belive it.

[killboi789]

A fun thing to do is to raise gear (while on deck) and catshot into the water and watch the shuttle skip across the water

[lacol06]

I know its a game, but in Reallife, this would not be possible AT ALL xD

[BADALASS]

Not Possible? So called 'experts' said that about operating a C-130 Hercules from a carrier in the 60's, and if they were wrong about that....

[sdrfgvrfgvsfravgdsvS]

Your video is great but this is very important!!!

how to start the engines of space shuttle orbiter in the x plane?

[brodielucy]

lol NICE

[Aviatormusician]

KOOL nice

[kittypie070]

(dies laughing)

This just rules!!

"Whoa DUDE, the BRAKES are vaporizing!!"

[FX: huge fuckin cloud of smoke, plus The Unholy Screech From Hell]

[kapitankartoon]

The Shuttle would need a tail hook!

[bahrest]

lol,

but there must be a space shuttle start too ;o)

[saberwolf309]

I don't think they could make a tail hook strong enough, also could you imagin the g's from stopping that fast in real life.

[samsamsameooo]

i thought it was gona be real. im dissapointed

[golbi04609]

you thought it would be real??? what the hell?

[samsamsameooo]

i thought i was going to see a real shuttle land on an aircraft carrier.

[weipeiwu2000]

Tailhook?

[vitoso2]

Eu: E o que você me diz disso capitão Nascimento?

Cap. Nascimento: Esse aí é um fanfarrão!

Nice video guys! :)

[Cessna45434]

Well, not only is the space shuttle increaqdibly heavy, but for it to land, some of the longest runways in the world are required. Theres not even a remote possibility of this ever happening in real life.

[tompi88]

its not supposed to portray real life but its funny:) how much does the shuttle weigh anyway? and whats landing speed? 250knots?

[grmarine]

before or after the landing CV will be submarine? science fiction ...

[madcows10]

One thing sucks about this game is hot air balloon invasion. Everywheres hot air balloons.

Over the Alps...

in the middle of the Atlantic..

The North pole

In the Sahara desert...

Even spying on aircraft carriers.

Balloons balloons balloons up the ass.

[salladortim]

if there were wind breakers

[Cougashika]

This made the idea almost believeable

[nakazatoGTR]

it may be possible in real life, if you stall before touchdown....

like pulling WAYY up then putting the nose back down...

[MUSTANGMAN1988]

This cannot ever happen that thing comes in to fast and weighs more than any plane in the Fleet maybe even 2-3 times more.. Also the Cables would snap and the Arresting gear would Tube lock .. yes I was in the AG for 4 years.. Nice theory though

[jphr]

EJECT!EJECT!EJECT!

[supermatou19]

BANZAÎ!!!

[komodork]

what program/game is this?

[gamewiner]

X-plane

[RandyJ007]

Sweet landing, you can be my wingman anytime!
