An inflight emergency almost resulted in the loss of XB-70 prototype aircraft. But what saved it, is not what you think! #NotWhatYouThink #NWYT #shorts

Kinda funny how so many countrys can spend so much money on useless millitary stuff
But that they dont have a budget to make their country better or to help their people who need ot
What an incredible aircraft.
Lmao that’s wild a 3¢ binder clip saved a 700m plane
1 crash 700 m gone
Concord?
They actually test all planes buy setting them on fire by locking up wheels on purpose for a test….before they get certified. We do it to all our Boeing jets
What a waste of money!..
That plane looks awsome. There is a point to point space craft that looks similar, but it hasn't been built.
You forgot to mention it has a droop snoot
Looks like a damn preying mantis..lol
Your voice has a hint of a Russian accent. All your posts trash talk US Military craft.Funny timing with Putin escalating a confrontation in Ukraine.
Is it still used today
That was EXACTLY what I thought!
750 million saved by a paperclip .. damn. Puts things into perspective.
I think I know why I have never seen this plane before
Hay que ver más sobre ése tema….traduce
It looks badass when landing like that
Only $750 million
Yeah, this ALL made perfect sense. It couldn't be clearer, I'm telling you.
WOW
« But what saved this aircraft? That’s not what you think. »
Uh… it’s not because the wheels are on fire that the plane is gonna be destroyed… welp again a fake title, I’ve stopped counting how many dislikes I sent to this channel.
Hot wheels
Wow
I'm curious about the little drone flying in front of the landing aircraft. I'm thinking it's a camera. So those were around in the '60s?
Clicks on video.
Video has loading wheel.
It's a TU-144 tupolev, which your obsessed with
You instantly like
Edit: ha ha. The two types of planes look the same from the front, bascicly (other then nose I suppose.)
I saw thunderbird 7 a couple of times…
I have touched this plane!
where is it now?
Can you imagine the pucker factor of the pilot, his seat was probably permanently deformed lol
Good thing they used a dollar of the millions to buy paper clips. A rocket science thinking on someones part.
Too much money in a single aircraft. I guess they get rich, too, through commissions.
I've gotten to see that EXACT plane irl, I've seen the exact one showed in this video… I just find the xb-70 insane, plus there's only two in existence
Next time i get given the paperclip test, I'm certainly putting this down
Was that a drone aircraft in the last few seconds (in front of the jet)?
Joder que avionazo con 6 motores, no se hicieron más de 2 Viones y no pasaron de la fase de pruebas…igualito que el concorde… Pero un Fracaso industrial de los USA2 6 motores falla uno y se van Todos a la Mierda.
Valkyrie XB-70 … A marvel of engineering
750 Million dollars & this thing doesn't have a CO2 application for the landing gear.
Gotta break it to fix it
