Would are planes fly?

Would the planes we design actually work in real life. I might just be being stupid but if engineers actually balanced the weight some plane designs could fly theoretically. But I still want to confirm it.

    I have wanted to see a real life hypno plane for a while now. An rc jet powered hypnoplane... How many g's could you pull in that

    Well people are making replicas like the highest rated plane ever the P-51 and they fly perfectly and sometimes exactly like their real life counterparts so I'd say you could make SOME of these planes in real life

    That's the whole point of the game, planes that fly just like they would in real life.

    No doubt some would but I think some of mine wouldn't. Like my last "proteous". All the vertical sections are made out of structural panels. These don't count towards flying characteristics - so in reality those vertical sections would act like your horizontal stabilisers - and being at the front - it would not fly. :-). Ps. If that made any sense then cool.

    If someone were to start building 3d replicas it would be a start :) @PureDeath hint hint :)

    In theory yes some would work. I thought about this a while ago and came to the conclusion the best way to find out would be to make scale replica rc planes. They did a similar thing with the aztec " planes". If you are unsure of what i mean google them :)
