Hurel-Dubois HD.31: That Weird French Plane With the Super Long Wings
Hurel-Dubois HD.31 is a rare French experimental transport aircraft developed in the 1950s by Maurice Hurel. Built after HD.10 wing research success, it featured extreme high-aspect-ratio wings designed for efficiency, stability and long endurance. The aircraft first flew in 1953 with twin radial engines and later evolved into HD.32 and HD.321 variants with different powerplants and tail modifications. Although Air France initially ordered 24 units, the contract was cancelled. The design later found success in aerial photography missions with IGN HD.34 variants operating for decades in survey ========================================== Become a channel sponsor (Donate): / @retrotransport ========================================== 00:00 - Intro Retro Transport 00:05 - Hurel-Dubois HD.31 History 02:59 - Outro Retro Transport #RetroTransport #HurelDuboisHD31 #HurelDubois #ExperimentalAircraft #AviationHistory #FrenchAircraft #Aircraft #Aviation #VintageAircraft #ColdWarAviation #AirFrance
