Скачать или смотреть Deadly Takeoff: The Story of the Tarrant Tabor Giant

On May 26, 1919, at Farnborough Airfield, a monster the size of a ten-story building prepared for takeoff. The Tarrant Tabor was the most ambitious aircraft of World War I—a giant triplane equipped with six powerful engines. It was designed to bomb Berlin, but instead, it became one of the most tragic failures in aviation history.

In this video, we uncover the story of Walter George Tarrant, a successful builder who dreamed of creating the ultimate bomber. We explore the fatal engineering decisions, including the addition of a third wing and the controversial placement of heavy engines high above the fuselage.

Why did the giant crash seconds after starting its run? Was it the secret lead ballast hidden in the nose, or a fundamental misunderstanding of physics?. Join us as we analyze the "Six-Winged Monster" that killed its pilots and changed aviation safety regulations forever.
