Air Tanker Challenge Results

2,881 LordAidanYT  5.1 years ago

These are the results from my air tanker challenge

-looks 5pts (does it look good? Doesn’t appear to be hastily designed)
-performance 10pts (does it fly for awhile with no issues? Do I need to use a lot of trim? Is the CoL and CoM balanced?)
-creativity 5pts (is it a completely new design? Does it have a cool livery? Does it resemble the object you based it off of (if replica))

@TrislandianAlliance AT-25 Firehoser
Looks: 8/10, reminds me of the L-1049 (not a bad thing), could be a little smoother though.
Performance: 10/10, flies well even without the rocket assisted water takeoff.
Creativity: 9/10, used air to air missiles for assisted take off, used contra rotating prop engines, and an custom wing design.
Total: 27pts

@11qazxc Electric tanker
Looks: 7/10, cockpit is a little bit open, but over all has a nice design.
Performance: 8/10, takes a little getting used to. Flies smoothly, very agile.
Creativity: 10/10, does not consume fuel, so it’s the most eco friendly of the 3. Uses quite a lot of guns that shoot light blue colored bullets that move slow as water to drop. I’ve got to give it to you for that.
Total: 25pts

@Thelegitpilot13 C-65 Odyssey
Looks: 6.5/10, overall design is rather nice, however it could be a little thinner or the nose could be longer to balance it out.
Performance: 10/10, flies beautifully, I had managed to pull a cobra in this thing, which surprised me for sure.
Creativity: 8/10, gave it a mildly realistic backstory on to how it was made, has a custom wing design with even what I think to be panel outlines on the tops of the wings.
Total: 24.5pts

If there’s any miscalculations, let me know and I’ll fix them.
Thank you for participating in my challenge, hope you all had fun making and testing your aircraft!

    @LordAidanYT yeah, but that won’t stop me from being proud with the design :)
    Edit: oh, and yeah, those fuselage parts were trying to signify panels, or structural supports.
    Edit 2: glad you could pull its least characteristic move lol

    Well it makes sense now but what’s done is done @Thelegitpilot13

    Also, it was designed to look like that. I kind of took inspiration from old aircraft designs (mainly the really old helicopters with short stubby noses that could open). That was my reasoning for it being so T H I C C and relatively stubby
