Propfan Test Aircraft

This three seater uses a novel kind of engine called a propfan, or and unducted fan. This plane is amazingly effecient, and very fast. I flew it from Bandit to Yeager in under 30 seconds at a speed of about 550 mph, while only losing less than 1% of fuel. This plane really is amazing, but is unstable and delicate on takoff. The engines are credited to SirBallistic321.

    @Alienbeef0421 Yeah, it's a little iffy that way. It's just that I've figured out how it processes that, that way I can make certain things work.
