The Plane That's 38% Nose

The Plane That's 38% Nose

Real Engineering left the new-upload shelf untouched, but its catalog collected nearly 891,000 views over seven days. Subscribers held steady, while daily viewing is running far below the channel's usual pace.

"The Plane That's 38% Nose" remains the busiest of its videos right now. The aviation explainer credits Brian McManus as producer, writer and narrator, with Josi Gold also contributing writing and research. Behind that wonderfully specific title is a production team spanning animation, archival footage, editing and sound.

There is older material in motion, too. "The Forbidden Alloy of WW2," published more than three months ago, is drawing substantial daily viewing. "Reading StarCloud's Whitepaper So You Don't Have To" adds a space-technology reading assignment to the mix, though at a much gentler pace.

Among nearby science channels, Steve Mould had a bigger viewing week, while minutephysics finished with a similar weekly total. For Real Engineering, the continuing draw is a combination of unusual aircraft proportions and wartime materials.
