flying dorito

If you want to fix the issue of it not turning easily, just take the hinge rotators and limit them to 10-15 degrees of range

Why do the flaps make the plane bank? And the rudder lever is just the trim lever. But I love the plane

Cockpit Stolen from.......... The WASP

@ATERO250 it cant really turn or gain altitude

Wdym @sussyF35

can i eat this

Is this a new unreleased flavor?

@WinsWings thanks! I usually draw my designs before building them

this is worth a spot too - love the original content and the sketch too. I also do sketch for some of my builds

@RepublicOfCursedPlanes
understandable have a great day

@ZeroWithSlashedO I mean, I wanted a full-length delta to make it cursed, and technically the canard can deflect air under or above the wings (I don't study aeronautical engineering yet so idk).
Also for the landing gear, yeah I had to make some compromises on it.
Honestly, I'm probably better at designing airliners, but I guess this was a good learning opportunity nevertheless.

@RepublicOfCursedPlanes
here's what I have to say about your counterarguments:

1. delta wings are terrible for subsonic speeds, why? energy retention
2. wait, so what you're saying is that you put a canard that is inches away from touching the wing? wtf
   I don't question the intake placement, but I question your control surfaces now what in the world
3. unlike the F-16, this thing looks like the moment it stalls out, it's unrecoverable no matter what you do
4. I don't mean that the landing gear is too low, I mean that the landing gear has no space (realistically) for it to retract, because it's taken up by the engine placement (this doesn't apply in SP ofc because SP's morfology can be easily bypassed lmfao)

I have no comments for the last 2 points
other than that, you're welcome

@ZeroWithSlashedO

1. this is a subsonic trainer aircraft, so it’s not built for speed;
2. the engine intakes are at the bottom because if they’re on the sides, the elevators located on the front of the wing will block most of the airflow going into the intakes at a high pitch angle, and increase the risk of a stall;
3. this design is basically another fictional fighter jet based off the F-16 (hence the unstable but manouverable design), but shortened to reduce mass, hence the goofiness;
4. The landing gears are extremely low from the ground to compensate for the high ground clearance caused by said bottom engine intake;
5. I kinda wanted this design to look “unconventional” and cursed, so that it could stand out against competing aircraft, which it now has.
6. Also, I was inspired by the Aermacchi M-346, which is why it looks so short.

Only thing I agree with is the small nose cone, but other than that, here’s my counterargument. You’re welcome.

appearance review:
6/10
honestly, does not look very fun to fly, nor does it look appealing
aircraft looks unstable, and it doesn't look aerodynamic
nose cone looks too small for a radar
thin, delta wings suggests a supersonic trainer configuration, but since the aircraft doesn't look that aerodynamic, I doubt it can go past mach 1 (realistically)
engine config is... questionable
so is the main landing gear

however, this has potential
if it's redesigned with proper aeronautical engineering in mind, it has potential to be a great platform
I love delta wings. They're just, pog.

@ZeroWithSlashedO welp.
Copy that, Private Parts!

@TheTomatoLover
I am sure

@ZeroWithSlashedO are you sure?

@TheTomatoLover
I was not
never was

@RepublicOfCursedPlanes but General Dorito cough cough, is @ZeroWithSlashedO

@TheTomatoLover it's mine...

@ZeroWithSlashedO :( I thought you were the dorito man

@TheTomatoLover
no

@ZeroWithSlashedO this is your plane, right?
