  • Search Haunebu, Thule society and Vril society :D

  • saw this at wright patterson airforce base one of the coolest things to see

  • This unflyable white elephant was built to make it look like disc craft could not work...of course, they could, and the real ones were being built in Avro's covert projects plant deep in the forests of Canada. Northrop's YB-35 and 49 flying wing bombers were likewise cancelled, as someone might have got the correct idea that it's only a small step from all-wing to disc-form. The world's most expensive duck decoys, basically. 80% of "real " UFOs are secret Yank planes. It's the truth.

  • wow USA was more advanced in the 50s than china is now!!!

  • @USAmilitarypower True... but kind of irrelevant to this video, as it takes place in... CANADA!

  • @kw757 Just like Epic Meal Time and William Shatner.

  • Why is this song so fucking awesome!?

  • just imagine a pc not a pilot.

  • just imagine a pc not a pilot.

  • just imagine a pc not a pilot.

  • cancelled in 1961 that what they want you to think

  • Jesus christ man! It's obvious that aliens use elctromagnetic energy for propulsion. How else would they travel at light speed? And transport through wormholes?

  • Made in Canada!

    Makes me proud every time I see it.

    Now... one of the designers was from England AND one of the designs included adding a rubber skirt to better contain the air.

    The British designer suddenly had to go back to England and a short time later... England introduces the "Hover craft"; Damn Brits!

  • can be driven whilst drunk or stoned.. nobody will notice !

  • This is an older model, the newer ones can fly real high real fast, Some believe they are aliens, no humans are aliens so in a certain manner of thinking from another point of perpective yes it is alien, us being the aliens lol

  • ....and this what people call a UFO!

  • why the hell would they make that? it looks like it does nothing. like it just looks like they were bored one summer and said hey lets build a cool hover craft to play with lol

  • I'd love to see them dug out and new computer control systems added. Poly graphite shells and newer high output jets would make quiet a difference. Still wouldn't be feasible just fun as hell to play with.

  • I didn't know that there were real hover crafts...

  • What's the song ?

  • this is bullshit ass UFO technology. where are the antI-gravitic craft WE POSSESs NOW?

  • There's an App, free download, that makes you do this easily with your iPhone. Just sit on It!

    TOP APP'S FOR DECEMBER!!!

  • i want one,,, no two!!!

  • this was in the 50s do to ufo sighting and soposedly Nazi spy saucers only way spaller

  • track ID? xD

  • Everyone loves the Avrocar! When I interned at NASM, I got to write accession records for the documents and for the film of the prototype - but the actual prototype had been loaned to the Air Force Museum! Dang! ;-)

  • If they could build this back then.. I think this could prove our technology advancements now to the explanation of modernn day UFO sightings

  • @theapocolyptic - yes, modern computer processing could easily stabilise it

  • is this real?????

  • That thing definitely would've benefited from fly-by-wire and gyroscope-enhanced stability.

  • Your doing it wrong. To make it stable you have to make it spin.

  • looks alot like a "ufo" doesnt it just think wat they have designed now to fool ppl into spending money so the government can recieve more money!

  • its funny how you dont know what you're talking about

    googleDOTcom/images?&q=sack%20­as%206

    --> completely different plane

  • I saw this at the Ft Eustis Transportation musuem back in 74'-75' timeframe. Thanks for sharing the video. Now I know I'm not crazy.

  • what is the point of spending millions of dollars on two prototypes, just to prove a concept.

  • @oka171 Lots of prototypes for various military programs are built, then canceled for various reasons (often revocation of funding). The whole point was to build more of these, but it proved too unstable to continue. I do think that research into the Avrocar contributed to later developments in flight, although some would disagree with me on that.

  • @AmusedChild "I do think that research into the Avrocar contributed to later developments in flight, although some would disagree with me on that."

    Yes it did lead to others uses, ever hear of the hover craft?

  • @SlackerSlayer Of course, but I came a cross a report by a curator who claimed that the Avrocar contributed nothing of use at all. Well, I am not at the level of a curator, but that really took me aback, and I think it was a political move. Just saying.

  • @AmusedChild Well that 'curator' doesn't know too much. Hovercraft is the result. SS

  • @ISamuelII I totally agree.

  • Coanda! yea baby!

    Rockin the Vortex

  • And they wonder why people say they see alien spaceships / UFO's lol

  • They Should Try It Again With Todays Tec

  • ahh its not reversed engineering .. that disappoints me

  • there flying at wright patt

  • My father help build the avro car and I know from the horses mouth my dad, that the avro car had a lot of problems including the engines no computers back then to stabilize flight. They were always worried the blades were going flying out its 3 jet engines and it never got higher that 3 ft in the air man . Unmanned it got higher only because they tethered to the ground. they had to put blinds up to hide it from the public when they tested it in Malton Mr Frost design it he was a visionary.

  • The problem of this thing wasn't the engine power, but the stability.

  • I thought it was partly the heat...

  • @ElDoctorJanItor

    Yeah that too

  • What song is that?

  • probly a good idea on paper but in the end its only use was a failed attempt to cover up ufo sightings.

    when i see one in a ufo documentary i question the other content and overall impartiality of the presentation

  • what a fuck is this piece of shit flyin 30 cms above the ground..

  • @Anakin8th The Germans were the first to make flying saucers. They were intended for light hit and run tactics that are not affected by mud or water.

  • This explains EVERY UFO sighting!

    Of cooouurse!

  • from what i see, i have doubts it could actually fly :P

  • lol, it looked pretty unstable, I bet someone died in one of the flight tests. xD

  • @blackice228 This thing was wayyy back when jets were new, if you update it and add in some modern engines and such, it probably could fly.

  • Yeah really, lol some people don't understand that technology is only advancing. But whatever I guess some people can think with a 60s mindset.

  • Nice toy lol

  • just think of what they built no in area 51.

    we all know they have 2 have a ufo, because its a thing everybody would wonna make.

    but why dont they just show us thier UFO's.

    its not like we can do anything besides be amazed.

    thier just scared to show us. lol

  • There aren't any UFOs at Area 51

  • u dont know that

    its a secret military base dude, what would u expect them to have.

    i think they have ufos

  • Area 51 is not developing anything new, that was during the cold war

    Info on all their toys is available now

  • There may not be any ALIEN SPACESHIPS, but until someone does not IDENTIFY the flying objects it contains, those are UFOs, literally.

  • Everyone has identified the flying objects it contains

    Literally, there are no UFOs at area 51

  • Comment removed

  • UHAAUAUHUHAuhhuaUHAUHuhUuh

  • Holy shit UFOs really exist then

  • They should have kept the Jetliner instead of this piece of garbage!

  • haAhAHAhHAAH NUM FODEEEEE

    muito massa o disco avuador UHAAUAUHUHAuhhuaUHAUHuhUuh

    olha ai o et porra UAUAUUHuhAuhAuhu

    voar com essa porra aqui no brasil em varginha ia dar o maior problema UHAuhAUuhUHAAU

  • its funny how twenty years earlier, hitler had scientists build some actual working ones similar to this but they were never mass-produced

  • Because you say he did does that mean it happened.?

    show me some proof!

    the v2 and v12 worked because we saw them fly.

    they were reality.

  • just imagine what they have now.

  • @Curicua yeah,,,

  • @Curicua Well, considering the avrocar was a complete failure, I'd imagine flying coffins running on windows...

  • @ricknitz44 you're a dumbshit, this was 5 years after hitler's death...

  • @ricknitz44 proly cuz they sucked and cant hold any extra weight

  • @ricknitz44 yer a nut bar. the avro car was built in canada and was the precursor to the modern high speed hovercrafts. nazi ufo's didn't exist until photoshop 6.0. lol

  • @kunglek Not actually right. Some German engineers claimed that they had been building ships like these during Hitler's rule, and supposedly some German documents talk of VTOLs. No antigravity BS, though - it is just a spinning turboprop (I believe you can actually buy smaller civilian vehicles like this).

  • @ricknitz44 Well the story goes that the Allies hired some of the German scientists after the war to produce these.

  • it would be more stable, if some gyroscopic ring on the outside is used... maybe

  • it is unbalance because you got one pilot. it is made for two....your madness bores me. this damn thing works....let work together and grow together...

  • I did not get more than 3 feet above the ground once it lost the ground effect.

    that is why it was cancelled.

  • i wonder what the techies have built recently , do we have to wait another fifty years to find out ?

    as i remember they did point out the avrocar was not very fuel friendly , and only made a 3 feet lift , too heavy in the rim ,

  • hey whats the music playing?

  • y do you want a disc shape well you can go one direction and cut thrust and rotate keeping the same direction just going ass first shooting behind you all the time plus the air frame is rigid as fuck= tuff but the plazma lifter / disc is jack shit to the triangle craft and ciguar bolth are nutz and real./

  • Russia never took the plans for a UFO from Germany after WWII either.

  • learn your history, nazi create the first nazi Flying Saucer and Missiles, russian only stoled all nazi invention, like canada and USA.

  • stoled, you need to learn your grammar

  • Man , i don't speak in english...je parle français und Deutsch.

  • Oh, sorry. And would that be French and German(I know Deutsch is German)

  • sorry seldon but lighturp is right. this project cost a lot of money and was a falure, if it worked to day the military would have ufo shaped aircraft flying around. it was supposed to change the way we fly but now the u.s has to pull alot of strings to reconsider sacers

  • you don't know exactly what you are talking about, lighturp..

  • This is one of those projects that looked good on paper but was an epic failure in real life!

  • This is one of those projects that looked good on paper but was an epic failure in real life!

  • Human efforts to replicate U.F.O. technology.

  • superb thanks
