So... just making a hypnoplane, I forgot to position the CoL correctly, and haven't edited the engines yet, but I may have made the first plane that can fly backwards and fowards, or has someone else already done that?

@IStoleYourMeme Welp, I just uploaded it and is can fly either way
I made a plane once that could fly one way, detach a part of it and it could fly the other way.
@ValtsuAircraftIndustries Well cut the engines and stall and you can turn around
@Nickasaurus No the jets were the right way, just not enough thrust
@Flightsonic fly backwards? You mean like your jets are pointing the wrong way???
@NovaTopaz It was backwards (CoL in front) but perform perfectly
well, the only way to get a plane that can fly both forwards AND backwards would be to have an aircraft which is neutrally stable(CoL on top of CoM, basically)... Which is extremely dangerous. A aircraft with that will have so much maneavibility that without assistance in the form of things like thrust vectoring, it would be impossible to control
