It is August 14th, and the deadline for the Betterfy the Trijet Challenge has been reached. Let's look at the results.
Entry 1: lamcat's entry
Changes: Removed all fuel from the main fuselage and wings.
Effect: The Triana can accelerate faster and lift-off at about 240km/h as claimed.
Entry 2: Marcochoy2007's entry
Changes: Removed all fuel from the wings.
Effect: The Triana's acceleration is normal, and is able to lift-off, but at about 390km/h.
Entry 3: NYOOOOOM's entry
Changes: Made the Triana into a "Quadrana".
Effect: With 4 engines, the Quadrana can accelerate faster and lift-off at 200km/h.
Too bad that in the challenge, I mentioned that the Top 3 will received an upvote for the next 5 aircraft they build. So, I decided to make it to just the Top 1.
In conclusion, congratulations to NYOOOOOM for definitely making the Triana better than ever! For the next 5 aircraft you build, you will receive and upvote, from me!
For the other two, apologies for changing the prize conditions... To compensate, how about you at least have an upvote for the next 3 aircraft you build? If that sounds okay, then okay!
Thanks for participating.
I've used the design to make a few different variants, such as an aerial refuelling tanker, and a cargo plane. It's a really good plane to fly. Very stable too, not much trim needed to keep it level.
