Retract LandingGear to power up drive engines. Then use pitch, roll, and yaw to move.
Mildly interesting fact: this build contains no rotators at all.

@benjiboyy06 The word you're looking for is 'impossible'...
wait, that's illegal
@Trijets Oh, believe me, I know that there's nothing wrong with it. Everything is more than right with it :)
@SledDriver it's up to you, your military style is fine and there is nothing wrong with it ;)
@Trijets Well, I don't find airliners that interesting, but maybe I'll give it a go.
@SledDriver oh shoot I mean a supersonic airliner, forgot to include that in, but yeah, I know, you do a lot of supersonic stuff :)
Damn those ayatan sculptures..
@Zanedavid See, the thing about abstract art is that how people interpret it is entirely up to them. Just off the top of my head, this could be interpreted as:
And so on. But I can assure you it's none of those things, or at least, I had nothing like them in mind when building this.
@Zanedavid Hm? I don't get it.
@Trijets Uhh, my portfolio is teeming with supersonic jets. This is my latest one. Just look through my posts, there are plenty. XB-70, MiG-25, F-15, F-4, F-104... I've done most of the interesting ones.
I have a request. It would be nice to see some sort of supersonic jet made by you, in your style obvously. Like a concorde or something completely fictional. I just think it would be nice to see :)
Ooooh makes sense!@SledDriver @SledDriver
@Diloph Well, all I can say is "how much effort does this look like went into it" is not something I've ever thought about. The only thought on my mind when I decided to build the outer ring this way was build quality. The default hollow blocks have too few polygons to look smooth, and I wanted a smooth radius on the ring's edges. Something to increase the build's visual appeal. That's all.
@SledDriver haha sorry to say, but I really cant explain it in text, hard to explain, lemme try my best **The circular fuselage blocks that make the ring around the moving strut things, there is a lot of them just tilted more and more to make a circle, I didnt know if that was for the purpose of making it look like you did more effort than you did (sorry thats sounds rude) instead of using a hollow block for the outside circle. hope it makes sense and I didnt try to come across rude C:
@ChallengerHellcat Well, some of them, anyway. Thanks.
Wow. I am absolutely mesmerised by the GIF. I love how your builds are never really about the build itself: they're also sculptures of art as well.
@SledDriver Yes please !
@DeathStalker627 Now there's an idea, a spinning space station that can fly.
@SledDriver Your builds looks like some sort of Spacecraft,that is why :)
wtf sled
@Strucker Thanks. My last few builds are even more so :)
This is perhaps the strangest yet coolest build I’ve seen so far.
@Texasfam04 Thanks, Tex. This is a by-product of me building a manual elevation/traverse wheel for an artillery piece, without using rotators. I thought, hey, what if I... and this is the result :)
Very Cool. At first I thought it was something like the Blumrich Omni Wheel. You always come up with amazing things sled!
@DeathStalker627 Hmm I don't get it.... why energy shields?
