X-8 - Ethereal C

7,305 OtterOfToast  8.7 years ago

I've been playing around but I just couldn't get the Ethereal B prototype up to scratch, so instead, I oppted for a total re-design. I looked at some of the new aircraft for ideas and came out with this. It's light, nimble, stable and fast. It is almost to par with the Corporeal O, and at nearly a quarter of the weight! This is a huge breakthrough, so this design will be taking over the Ethereal project.
