We’ve done TONS of research on Sonic’s speed over the years. From how fast he REALLY is to if he can even survive his own speed – we’ve covered it all! Well, that’s only partially true. Until now we’ve only turned our Theorist eyes towards the blue hedgehog. That ends today! Enter Tails, the lovable fox sidekick. He’s famous for helicoptering his way around with his, you guessed it, tails. What I wanted to know was whether or not Tails SHOULD actually be able to fly. Today Theorists, we are going to find out if this fox is flying high or about to crash and burn!
Check our sources below to learn even more about helicopter physics!

Your questioning a FICTONAL cartoon fox. Cmon man.
buuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
your intro is very loud #headphones
you hinted at something that COuld give him the directiona;l ability to fly HIS SHOES HAVE ROTORS IN THEM or at least some form of propulsion, that counteract that rotation, also Kitsune magic.
But what did poor Tails ever do to you MatPat?
0:25 My Life in a Nutshell
Sonic: Hedgehog
Tails:
FOX
I LITTLE BIT SLOWER THAN SONIC
PART HELICOPTER
how could you do that to tails
Sonic Adventure tails have a jet ankle sooooooo🤷🤷🤷🤷
The reason why tails can fly is because of his tails like really if tails only have 1 tails like cannor fly
I LOVE TAIL!
He can fly but he can be tired so that he build a plane
L
I was waiting for you to mention the tail roter the whole episode
i hate this video so muth
lol
lololo ROTATEG O RAOND
IT IS A GAME LEAVE IT ALONE
honestly, when I think of how Tails flies, I just have a theory that he has Sonic's super speed, but instead of it going throughout his whole body, it's just in his tails, and the way he makes them spin, he just… phases his tails through themselves at the right moment every time. Yes, I did put the physics of The Flash in Sonic, cause they both have super speed, so why not?
Actually in the lore they're genetics are part human so realistically comparing his weight to a normal fox seems unfair he would most likely be bigger so he's not that chubby.
Him:Sonic goes at Mach 1
Me:He can’t get on Korosenseis level

What if his tails were spinning in opposite directions 🤯🤯🤯🤯
I like how he still hasn't had 20 mill subs
Wouldn't it be more possible to just flap his tails like wings?
Tails has 2 pepe too so This theory has been debunked
Tails can fly 😎
im guessing all that fur isnt gonna help
My theory is that tials is a fox that has a damaged tail then someone took him in teached him English died then tails built himself a robot tail
Has anyone noticed that mph sounds like miles prower
1:04 bro sonic adventure 2 was my first game ever the memories!
I'm in love with princess peach
Has he tried hover crafts?
Maybe he will handle that better.
He should make one.
I thought that the last three minutes were going to be Austin coming onto the video and saying "but Matpat tails DOES have another rotor…." But no Matpat won this time. ..
You are cool 😎
Cool
