I’ve learned so much now
cool!
Awesome 👍🏽😎
I always wanted to learn how to fly a air airplane
I got to site in the pilots seat on a passenger plane😂🧑✈
airplanes are cool
so i am a big nerd on some aircraft so this was very fun for me
Airplanes are so interesting! I’m excited to fly in one someday.
I like to fly until there is turbulence.
I love flying. I have thought about taking lessons.
I have never flown on a plane but, I want to go on one to Disney world.
I love airplanes!
i like airplanes and take them at least 8 times every summer
I kind of want to be a pilot…
I like airplanes and flew in one once when I was little! What is the fastest plane today?
The Lockheed SR-71 is one of the coolest airplanes I’ve ever seen!
Airplanes are interesting to me
Airplanes are such a fascinating invention, though I don’t think I’ll ever have the courage to become a pilot.
My favorite use of planes is the Blue Angels. The Blue Angels are a military team that flies jets, they do the diamond pose so these jets are 12 inches apart which is close together. Amazingly, they have intense training, to do this if one of those jets moves they all crash. These jets can go 7 g-forces.
My uncle is a pilot so he teaches me lots of things about flights and aircrafts, so I knew some of this stuff before.
I love this
airplanes are fun!
Air planes are so fun to learn about.
That’s awesome
I love the science behind airplanes its so cool!
How planes are able to fly is interesting
My cousin loves airplanes, I’ll have to share this information
Pilots have a very hard job but it would be cool to say you are one.
R51 back at it again
This was interesting 😁
The idea about hydrogen airplanes was great.
I love airplanes ✈️ thanks for the information
is it a bird is it a plane!!! LoL
i love airplanes this is cool
A jet is faster than a airplane, but a jet will be hard to land on a platform.
I’m going to go Military but I dont think Id want to fly a chopper.
I will NEVER fly no thank you
A pilot has a hard job. I’m excited to fly again.
I don’t think I’ll ever fly
Its so amazing how people invented airplanes!!
you guys are a great duo
I won’t ever fly
what if planes flap their wings like birds
I only been in an airplane to Puerto Rico. But I hope, someday, I can go again.
Remember to never give up even if you fail the first time. Just like the Wright Brothers.
roger billings is great my dream is to go on vacation too meet him someday so he can teach me alot plus maybe if i asked him niicely i could be his assistant
R.51!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I Love when R.51 comes on!
I believe I can fly!
Spread your wings and fly away.
wish I could attend a live!!
I love planes and air crafts this video taught be a lot i didn’t know about
awesome
Enjoyed the video. Not sure I could be a pilot though.
I was surprised the early researchers used weight change to steer aircraft
It was very interesting learning about planes and how they were invented
I love r 51
R51 is so funny
That is good to know
I remember watching a YouTube video about the largest aircraft in the world but it was never built yet.
This science lives just like all the others was great.
If the Wright brothers never persevered, we would either never have planes, or it would have taken more time for the idea to develop by someone else.
This was very interesting with lots of information about airplanes
Watching from Texas.
I want to be in the air force when I get older. I love the power of speed. Airplanes go over the top with their speed.
I liked when they talked about the light bulb and that lady didn’t know how to turn it on! lol.
i wish i was a pilot to its AWESOME!!!
I love his airplane, big and wide. Also easy to ride on.
airplanes are cool i love them
Cool
Flying is so awesome, and I’m glad to get to learn about it!
It’s amazing how airplanes can transport over 200 people at 1 time.
My Mom is so scared to fly.
Such an interesting invention.
This was a very interesting episode.
How does that lightbulb light up when it is not connected to anything?!
💡
how long would it take to build an all wooden plane?
I watched this video a few weeks ago. It was so cool learning about airplanes and how they’re powered.
This was a very funny episode!
I have been on a airplane but I don’t know how it works
Love this video! a lots of information!
I didnt know about a hydrogen plane, that’s awesome.
hi R-51
R-51 is one of the funniest person I have ever seen
I fly with my dad, he is a pilot. so this will be interesting.
I would like to do more flight simulator games to get good at flying.
My mom wants me to take flying lessons when I get a little bit older so I enjoyed this episode.
My favorite grammar teachers is the 7th grade teacher, Ms. Nila and 5th grade teacher Ms. Rebbeca.
Oh cool
this is good
I just remembered that in September that science l!ve came back out. I totally forgot, but I’m glad it’s out again! Thank you so very very much for everything science live.
Cool video I learnded alot
I did not know about the hydrogen plane!
I think airplanes are really cool but i have never been on one
R-51 is just so funny! I think that he is the one that makes these episodes so extraordinary!
Great Episode! Loved it!
I think the light bulb is cool because it lights up without being plugged in
I liked this video! Very interesting and lots of information.
I liked learning about the Wright Brothers and their determination to fly.
I loved learning about air planes, flying and the Wright Brothers.
i love they way it explains everything about this subject
I LIKE R-51. He’s sooo funny
It was fascinating hearing about all of the different working parts of the wings for the airplane. Never would have thought of it like that.
Why did the project get stalled in california?
This was awesome
this episode was very interesting
Interesting
why is the new hydrogen planes not able to go as far if it is 1/3 of the wight of jet fuel and can be compressed, All so there are plans to extract hydrogen 3 on the moon.Why can’t we use this insted of other hydrogen it would be abel to cool the front mush better and have a greater power output.
I made a small wooden biplane but I haven’t tested if it fly’s yet.
R51 is so funny
I love science live so much
I wish I could own a jet like you some day.
Always been interested in airplanes, great video
So cool!
My younger sister will be using Acellus to enhance her reading abilities, which she needs to succeed in all of her classes. As for me, I’m a passionate bookworm who thoroughly enjoys reading.
I wish that the Wright brothers could have the chance to see how far technology has come. And to think that only 66 years after the first flight we landed on the moon is just crazy to me!
I really enjoyed this episode, I’ve always been interested in flying!
Our family wants to take a trip to the outer banks and visit the Wright Brothers museum.
I like learning about the Wright brothers. Orville flew 50 miles on his plane.
cool
This episode and it’s topic is great! So much fun to learn about the Wright Brothers!
I just came back, and WOW! Everything is so different! I love it though, granted I was a little nervous when I didn’t see MR. Tobias second. Haha glad he is there though, I also love how his ties always match what he is talking about!
Great episode!!
I loved that video!
How do you make a hydrogen powered car?
R-51 is so funny
Mr, Dr. Billings made the first hydrogen car, the first hydrogen fork lift, and the first hydrogen powered motoercycle ant the first hydrogen bus and the first hydrogen house that he actually lived in. Mr. Dr. Billing made amazing things.
Why dose a airplane have curved wings.
I really enjoyed this science live!!
I love Dr. billings jet
This was my favorite Roger billings so far!
I am re-watching this, looking for the “Ventenioring Club”’s presentation, I want to know what drone Malichi used…did they cut that from the video? I can’t seem to find it….. But otherwise great video!
this is all about flying, so good, i love flying, i will be flying one day, and become the greatest pilot ever live, I hope theres a second episode about this
this is all about flying, so good, i love flying
Super cool! Now I’m even more excited about airplanes than before!
Awesome information!
I ‘m not that into inventing yet but I still found this interesting.
I missed this over the summer! I enjoyed this so much!
I think the light bulb is cool because it lights up without being plugged in
The wright brothers are cool too learn about
Great live
I loved this episode very good!
I like this episode because I used to want to be a pilot.
this video was really amazing and I love clouds
This video was really cool to watch And i loved R-51
This was really interesting! Clouds are so beautiful from above!!
I feel confident enough to build a plane now, which is pretty darn cool. Or at least a glider, I don’t have the money to buy plane fuel.
so cool!
thank you for this amazing lesson
Great episode, thank you. I loved to hear of the history in the discovery of airplanes. Look forward to more episodes.
Flying is one of the many things that people do not get the chance to even do for me. I think it is very fascinating that just two brothers and a little bit of science came up with the modern day airplane, which advanced to the airplanes that we have today.
Does hydrogen have a lower energy density than actual fuel ?
it was very interesting!!
who invented the first solar powered plane?
Very interesting to learn about how they fly
Im so excited about the upcoming technology of airplanes.
I wonder what kind of buttons would need to be pressed in flight and when taking off.
Very funny to watch
It was interesting to find out vultures were an inspiration in the making of aircrafts! I loved learning more about this subject.
Love it. Can you make one with centrifugal force.
Great video
CANT WAIT 😀
That was really fun to watch. I have liked airplanes since I was a baby. The information was really interesting and cool to learn.
How many commercial flights are there each year now?
When I get older I’m going to make a new kind of plane that can go really fast!
I like the different planes!
Learning about the wright brothers and what started their curiosity was very cool.
This was a good episode. I like watching these
This video was interesting and I learned a lot from it. Thanks
I enjoyed learning about the history and technology of flying a plane.
I liked watching this video. It is interesting to hear all of the historical facts.
Will vertical takeoffs be viable for airplanes in the future
what exactly is liquid hydrodron and what all can it be used for?
This one was fun
This was so fun to watch!
I love Dr. Billing’s jet!
Thank you for making this episode, I really enjoyed it!
I’ve never watched science live before, it was an interesting first episode. It lets me learn without any effort, practically a movie. It’s fun to watch and I’m already thinking about all I could learn with science live, I hope to keep seeing episodes like this one!
this was fun to watch
Loved this!!
1 I did not know that airplanes needed the extra wings for something. 2 I saw that there were two types of flying flapping fast and like gliding. 3 close to the end they tried to do vertical takeoff and i laughed
R-51 is very funny!
R-51 is the best part about listening to these lol 😉
I loved watching this video! R-51 made my day!!!:)
so cool
episode 230
I would love to learn to fly a plane.
R-51 was funny as heck!
Thank you for explaining what ventioneering means. The story about the Wright brothers really helped me understand it. I hope I can apply this concept in my life.
nice to know
This such a good episode
How do airbrakes work?
What happen if the birds wing is messed up or what happens if the bird has less feathers?
This was a fun one to watch!
I like watching these episodes, thank you!
I think the history, technology, and all of the studying and exams you have to take to be able to fly a plane are so awesome and can’t wait to see what features will make flying easier in the future!
Watching this reminded me how grateful we need to be towards great minds like the Wright Brothers. Without them and so many others, where would are wonderful world be? Keep up the great work Acellus, I love it!!!!
This was my first Science Live episode, and I really enjoyed it! Definitely will be watching more <3
R-51 was Soo funny!! 😂
