British Engineer James Whomsley Breaks World Records with Colossal Remote-Controlled Aircraft Carrier Model and Successfully Lands Two RC Planes on It

James Whomsley, a renowned British YouTuber with an engineering channel, has recently made headlines by building the largest remote-controlled aircraft carrier model in the world. The impressive feat was confirmed by Guinness World Records. In addition to this monumental accomplishment, he was able to successfully land two remote control model planes on the carrier, earning him another world record.

The construction of this colossal aircraft carrier model took Whomsley three months to complete, utilizing a combination of wood, foam, and fiberglass. To ensure its durability and functionality, expanding foam was employed to make the carrier waterproof. After the carrier was finished, Whomsley had to learn how to operate the remote-controlled planes and make modifications to both the planes and the carrier in order to successfully land them.

Whomsley described the experience of bringing his vision to life and seeing it work as “incredible”. To facilitate the landings, he added first-person view cameras to the model aircraft for better visibility. The model planes used in the project were modified ready-to-fly models. Testing flights and landings were carried out at Rudyard Lake in Staffordshire. Unfortunately, one of the planes crashed into the water during testing.

A YouTube video documenting the project showcases Whomsley’s numerous attempts to land the planes on the carrier, as well as highlights from the building process. This is not Whomsley’s first time making history with his engineering projects; he previously set a Guinness World Record for building a remote-controlled jet-powered car that could reach speeds of up to 94.76 mph before being destroyed after hitting 141 mph on a third run.

Overall, James Whomsley’s latest project is yet another testament to his impressive engineering skills and creativity. His dedication and perseverance have allowed him to push boundaries and create something truly remarkable that will be remembered for years to come.
