When you picture an airplane, a pretty familiar shape comes to mind. A long narrow body with two main wings sticking out from the middle, a pair of smaller wings on the back end, and a tail fin in the rear sticking straight up. The wings may be straight or swept to the back, but you wouldn't picture them sweeping forward, would you? Sure, some fighter jets have wings that change position, and older planes might have an extra pair in the front, but you wouldn't have a backward wing. Well, tell that to the X-29. This experimental aircraft was developed by NASA and the US Air Force back in 1984! Other videos you might like:

Animation is created by Bright Side. SUMMARY:
– The concept of forward-swept wings dates all the way back to the JU-287, developed in the 1940s, and many countries have experimented with this format over the years.
– Look at any plane developed before the advent of jet engines, and you’ll notice that almost all of them position their wings at a right angle to the body of the aircraft.
– This works great for any aircraft flying less than 460 mph, but causes trouble for anything moving faster than that.
– Unlike straight wings, where one hundred percent of the airflow moves parallel to the body of the plane, swept wings create a stream of air running lengthwise down the wing.
– The air moving across the top of the wing is called the chordwise flow, named after the chord, an imaginary line that goes from the front to the rear edge of the wings. – Some military jets, such as the American F-14 Tomcat, and Russian MiG-23, can change the angle of their wings to take advantage of this effect. – The issue that has yet to be resolved is that the further back the wings of a plane are swept, the more susceptible it is to a stall. – While forward-swept wings reduce drag quite significantly, their unusual aerodynamic properties subject them to a twisting motion as they move through the air.
– This brings us back to the X-29, the shining pinnacle of early eighties aircraft technology.
– Shortly before a test flight, one of the prototypes malfunctioned, causing all three computers to fail simultaneously.
– Ultimately, the X-29 program came to an end in 1991. Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz

More Why Some Planes Have Backwards Wings Videos

Getting on a plane to go somewhere today is almost as simple as catching a train or a taxi. But a century ago it was way more complicated. If you look at photos of aircraft passengers from the 30s, they’re rarely seen without their jackets or coats on. That wasn't just for the sake of fashion. It was really chilly inside since heated cabins were still rare back then. There were some things you couldn’t fix just by donning an extra layer of clothing. Remember those vomit bags that are still present on most jets, even though hardly anyone ever needs them anymore? They originated from a time when not puking during the flight was a real challenge.

How much did air travel cost back then? 4:54
Flying five-star hotel 5:52 #planes #aviation #brightside SUMMARY:
– The low pressure at high altitudes makes it more difficult for the body to absorb oxygen. Air travelers felt queasy and found it hard to breathe. ]
– But the first commercial plane with a pressurization system didn’t emerge until 1938.
– Another drawback of not having the normal pressure on board was turbulence. Without pressurization, pilots couldn’t rise further than 15,000 feet from the ground.
– In the 1930s, many aircraft had either weak or no soundproofing at all. So people onboard had to deal with the sound of wind blasting by, and roaring engines.
– During the 30s, one air trip from New York to Los Angeles took about 25 hours! – To get from one point to another, aviators needed to make over a dozen stops, as well as refuel a couple of times. – In 1938 you’d have to pay $243 for a week-long bumpy trip from London to Brisbane, Australia. That’s about $17,000 in today’s money! – And yet the 20s, and especially the 30s, were dubbed the golden age of flight, and for a reason.
– Passengers had big and comfortable seats, and passengers could gaze out windows that were much more similar to train windows than the tiny plane ones we’re used to today.
– The voyagers ate at real tables while their food was served on fine china dishes.
– It’s hard to imagine, but these ships also had separate bathrooms for women and men, and even bunk beds for sleeping. – If the average cruise speed in the 1920s hovered around 100 mph, a decade later they could fly at about 200 mph.

Animation is created by Bright Side. SUMMARY:
– When a firefighter enters a burning building, they put on an S.C.B.A. – a special mask connected to an oxygen tank on the back. Smoothly shaved face provides a tight and sealed position of such mask. – According to research, teachers experience the same amount of stress as firefighters and… airplane pilots. – Do you find your profession really boring? Don't worry, there’s something much more tedious out there. It’s dry paint watching! – Do you suffer because it’s hard to get up for work in the morning? Hotels sometimes invite people to "test" beds.
– With regard to safety, a study was conducted in Germany, in which they found out which profession is the most beneficial for health – it's economists. – The Japanese spend more than 60% of their time at work in the office. So it's okay if you fall asleep in the middle of a working day or meeting. – It was scientifically proven that red color excites, green calms, and white gives energy, enhances activity, and inspires a sense of purity and… trust. That's why doctors always wear white clothes.
– Have you noticed that some cooks have small caps, while others have long cylindrical ones? This way, the hierarchy of cooks in the kitchen is maintained.
– You have all seen these huge Lego sculptures in stores and at exhibitions. They are constructed by real professionals. – It turns out your dog may have a psychological trauma or complexes, so feel free to take it to an animal psychologist.
– Pets have not only psychologists but also tasters. You can earn up to $25,000 a year if you feel that you have good taste and are ready to try such products. – The readiness and maturity of Parmesan cheese is determined not only by taste, but also by sound. Specially trained people tap Parmesan with a small silver hammer and determine its quality. Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz

More Why Firefighters Have to Shave Everyday Videos

Snakes! They look like an alien species, and some of the things they’re capable of will convince you they’re not from this planet! They see in Predator-like infrared, they shed their skin, and have you seen that weird-looking tongue? Snakes don’t use their tongue like we do. Think about it: you really don’t have time to taste something if you can only swallow food whole without chewing it. Instead of using it to taste, snakes smell with their tongues. That’s why they always flicker it in and out – they want to catch nano-particles in the air that will tell them if their prey or some kind of danger is nearby. Other videos you might like:

Why do they hiss? 6:30
They move faster than the blink of an eye 7:19
Their jaws are like a trap 7:47 #snakes #animalfacts #brightside SUMMARY:
– The fork allows snakes to sense a larger radius and know the direction the scent comes from. For example, if the smell is stronger for one part of the tongue and weaker for the other, then this smelly thing is closer to that first part. – Many snake species still have rudimentary bones that leave no doubts – some time ago, they were legs! – Somewhere in that same evolutionary process, some species aimed to become even more terrifying – they learned how to fly! – Just like legs, snakes have decided they don’t need eyelids either. Why? Because their lookers are covered in scales too!
– Every animal in the world sheds its skin, including people. The only difference is that snakes do it all at once and in one big piece.
– Snakes can’t see colors at all. Most of them only see shapes, and the clearest shape for them is the one that’s moving. – To make up for their horrible eyesight, snakes have a special “pit organ” near their nostrils that can sense heat radiation.
– The iconic cobra hood is made of ribs that extend out and sort of umbrella the loose skin on the sides of the snake’s neck?
– The real reason for the hiss – snakes don’t have vocal cords. They only have a glottis, which is a flap that closes and opens the windpipe so that food doesn’t go down the wrong tube when it’s swallowed.
– It takes you 200 milliseconds to blink. Sounds like a lot for such a simple movement, but you know how quick that is!
– A snake’s lower jaw isn’t attached to the upper part of the skull, which makes them highly flexible. They can open their mouth up to 150° and swallow prey that’s 5 times wider than their own body.

More Why Snakes Have Forked Tongues Videos

The “Titanic” film earned well over three billion dollars at the box office, making it the third highest-grossing movie of all time. But didn't a question pop into your head? Why didn't people try climbing on the iceberg to get out of the water? Well, if you look at any picture of an iceberg, you'll see that they can get quite steep. Sure, some might be scalable, but others are nothing but sheer cliffs of jagged ice. Best case, it would be like climbing a mountain; worst case, a frozen cliffside. Other videos you might like:

Ice floes VS. icebergs 0:54
Empty boats 3:18
The biggest problem: reaching the iceberg 4:47 #titanic #iceberg #brightside SUMMARY:
– A floe is a flat mass of ice found drifting in the ocean. It is low, flat, and relatively shallow, while an iceberg is none of those things.
– Ice floes can be hazardous, but the concern is that a ship might get pinned and crushed between two of them instead of sinking outright.
– The Titanic hit an iceberg, and if you look at any picture of an iceberg, you'll see that they can get quite steep. – Imagine trying to pull that off in the dark, using only your hands and maybe a bit of rope, and surrounded by over a thousand other confused and freezing people. – The Titanic didn't sink the moment it made contact with the ice. It actually took a full two hours and forty minutes to go under. – When it came time to board the lifeboats, many passengers were reluctant, believing themselves safer on the big warm ship than the tiny open boats.
– If people were that reluctant to board escape craft until it was almost too late, how were the crew going to convince them to clamber atop a freezing lump of ice? – These are all big problems that would’ve made evacuating to the iceberg unfeasible, and we haven't even gotten to the biggest one on the list: reaching it. – The Titanic didn’t exactly grind to a halt the moment it hit the iceberg. As you might have guessed, the ship's helmsman had been trying to steer away from the ice before the collision.
– A glancing blow meant the Titanic wasn't stopped in its tracks. It's estimated that the Titanic was clipping along at around 22 knots, about 24 miles per hour for landlubbers. – The captain would’ve had to steer his ship back to the iceberg, something that might not have even been possible given the circumstances.
– While escaping to the iceberg makes for an interesting idea, it wouldn’t necessarily have been a good one. If anything, attempting it could have made the disaster even worse. Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz

More Why People on the Titanic Didn’t Just Climb the Iceberg Videos

Most commercial aircraft, for example, the mammoth Airbus A380, which can seat up to 868 passengers, or the somewhat smaller Boeing 747, have blunt noses. On the other hand, several models of passenger airliners have sharp noses. And all military airplanes have pointed noses. So, what gives? There are two types of planes: subsonic (meaning their speed is slower than the speed of sound) and supersonic (the ones that fly faster than you know what). And it turns out that the manufacturers decide on the shape of a plane's nose depending on the speed at which it's going to travel. Other videos you might like:

Animation is created by Bright Side. SUMMARY:
– Subsonic planes are equipped with a rounded nose. During the flight, it allows the air to move around the airplane more freely. – When the air first meets the rounded nose of a subsonic airplane, it produces a shock wave.
– Just look at the famous Concorde plane, which stopped flying only in 2003. With its pointed nose, this supersonic passenger airliner could fly at a maximum speed of more than twice the speed of sound. – The faster a plane flies after passing the sound barrier, the hotter it becomes. That's why some of the fastest aircraft are made of titanium. – In any case, there’s a chance that in several decades it won't matter whether a plane has a pointed or a blunt nose, because aircraft might start to look totally different altogether.
– For example, according to one of the predictions, planes in the future might come without windows whatsoever! – Air travel is likely to become much greener by 2050, thanks to commercial airplanes becoming fully electric.
– Also, in several decades, planes might lose their tails! – At some point, you might witness aluminum planes turning into carbon fiber ones! – There might also be some unusual looking and oddly shaped aircraft. For example, the airplanes of the future might get a box wing design.
– Another cool aircraft project is called the Sky Whale; this plane may easily become the largest passenger airliner ever.
– How do you feel about the "Flying V" aircraft? Such an unusual shape is supposed to make the plane super energy efficient! Also, the V-shaped aircraft would be able to travel ultra-long-haul distances. Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz

More Why Some Airplanes Have Rounded Noses and Not Pointed Videos

People have been to space, they have invented antibiotics, you can chat with your friends with the help of your watch! But once elevator doors close, all our gimmicky phones just quit! But the worst thing is that there’s nothing we can do about it. In most cases, radio waves easily penetrate all kinds of materials, but massive chunks of solid stuff, such as rock or metal can stop them. For example, if you’ve ever driven in a mountainous region, you might have noticed that your phone signal vanished and reappeared again. This mystery has a simple explanation.

Why your phone lets you down in certain grocery stores 3:42
… as well as at concerts and sporting events 5:15 #phones #gadgets #brightside SUMMARY:
– Your cell phone is something like a two-way radio. Inside, it has a radio receiver (which gets signals) and a radio transmitter (which sends signals). – Cell towers begin to send radio waves from one to another until, finally, your coded voice reaches your friend’s phone. – An elevator is a compact box made of thick sheets of metal and stuffed with electronics. – In most cases, radio waves easily penetrate all kinds of materials, but massive chunks of solid stuff, such as rock or metal can stop them.
– If there is a cliff or a mountain between your phone and the nearest cell tower, it will easily prevent radio waves from getting to you.
– Something similar takes place when you’re in an elevator. Radio waves from your friend’s phone are desperately trying to reach your cell phone. But they meet a barrier they can’t penetrate. – But have you ever noticed how your phone refuses to work properly once you enter certain grocery stores?
– Most commercial buildings are built with the help of massive iron supports, are covered with aluminum roof tiles, and have walls filled with concrete. – But what if I tell you that my phone also regularly lets me down at concerts, big conferences, and even sporting events? – Apparently, you won’t be the only one who will be eager to share the score with those who haven’t managed to come. That’s why your cell phone must compete with thousands of other phones for the attention of the nearest antennas.
– It may seem very confusing, but the truth is that your phone will know that there is a network out there and that this network does work. But at the same time, it won’t be able to connect to it.

More Why Phones Don’t Work in Elevators Videos

From Monday through Saturday, at 5:16 P.M., a train takes off from Leeds and heads for the small English town of Snaith. At first, the cars will be jam-packed with people – the usual rush hour of a decent-sized city like Leeds. But with each stop along the way, you’ll notice fewer and fewer passengers on the train. Once you get to the final stop 55 minutes later, there will be no one else besides you. You get off the train at a station that’s equally as deserted. There are no vending machines or ticket offices, no parking lots, no taxies. It’s as if time has stood still. It’s quiet…and eerie. Other videos you might like:

The Real Ghost Train 7:23 #ghosttrain #trains #brightside SUMMARY:
– You need to buy a return ticket in advance since you can’t get one in a station without personnel. But you can only go back to Leeds at 7:01 P.M or 7:16 A.M the next day!
– These empty trains are listed in all documents as ordinary trains, so there’s no way to know how many there are. To find them, you need to search timetables for routes that trains travel no more than twice a day. – If you find a ghost train full of people, they’re most likely adventure-seekers like you!
– Tim Hall-Smith and Liz Morali are passionate about ghost trains. Over the past 25+ years, they’ve been to almost 50 ghost stations.
– The use of passenger trains has almost doubled since 1995. More travelers are riding longer distances, yet the number of trains hasn’t gone up that much.
– Ghost stations are primarily in ghost towns. Most passengers have already hopped off by the time the train gets to the final stop because, well, nobody lives there!
– Surprisingly, it’s more profitable for rail companies to keep ghost trains running than to close them.
– To shut down any route, they’d first have to figure out how this closure will affect passengers, the transport environment, and the economy. – There is a more positive reason why these trains continue to run – the hope that these lines will get busier.
– So, is that hope for a revival of old ghost lines worth keeping? Sure! Some routes are already seeing increased activity. – Yes, ghost trains are a common thing for UK residents, much more so than most other countries.
– Elsewhere, an empty train can seriously scare passengers. That's exactly what happened in 2016 in Belgium. – The train rode 7 and a half miles until another driver jumped into the moving cab and was able to stop it.
– It happened in the summer of 1911. An Italian rail company called Zanetti sent a small tourist train with about 100 passengers to travel around the country. – It entered the tunnel but never made it out the other side! Apparently, as the train approached the mountain, a thick white fog suddenly surrounded it.
– The tunnel was thoroughly investigated. There weren’t any signs of a crash, there wasn’t a shred of evidence a train had entered it. Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz

The color of the heart’s chakra 6:45 #greencolor #green #brightside SUMMARY:
– Green is one of the richest colors there are. It has the most variety of shades and tints among all the others. – Green mixed with vibrant yellow will look fresh and juicy, but mix it with pale yellow and a little brown and it’ll look sickly and disturbing. – Dark green is associated with wealth and reliability; but make it just a bit darker and it’ll be connected with greed and look militaristic. – Green is associated with all movements that aim at preserving the ecology of our planet. – If the emblem of some organization is green – you know immediately that it has something to do with recycling or environmental clean-up, or the preservation of endangered species. – Being one of the most peaceful colors, it’s linked to reliability and safety. Lots of brands use this to their advantage. – The green pigment used in bills has proved itself to be sturdier than others. It simply doesn’t wear off with time.
– With green come the feelings of a fresh start, peace, and calmness that balance out the red perfectly for everyone’s favorite time of the year. – Green is so strongly associated with safety that, even before elementary school, we learn that a green traffic light means it’s safe to go.
– Pharmacies around the world also prefer to represent themselves with the help of shining green crosses. They’re immediately recognizable signs, making it easy to spot a drugstore at any time. – Ever heard of ‘green with envy’? And if someone’s face has a greenish hue, it might be a clue about how this person feels today. – Green also has a sacred meaning in traditional spiritual practices that have a lot to do with medicine and self-betterment. Like for example, yoga.
– According to this teaching, green is the color of the heart’s chakra, which is the main link between higher chakras based on meaningful and spiritual needs, and lower chakras that represent natural needs that are inevitable in human nature.
