BWB Challenge [ENDED]
WELCOME TO THE BWB CHALLENGE:
What is a BWB?
Google: The BWB is a hybrid shape that resembles a flying wing, but also incorporates features from conventional transport aircraft. ... The BWB airframe merges efficient high-lift wings with a wide airfoil-shaped body, allowing the entire aircraft to generate lift and minimize drag.

My first challenge: If you have any questions just @ me. Good luck.
@marcox43 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blendedwingbody here it explains what a bwb is and some examples
@tucan oh, ok.
@marcox43 its a bit dicey, i dont really think that the f-117 fits this category.
does an F-117 fit in this category? I'm asking because of the tailerons... altho it uses it's fuselage and wings as lift surface...
@mikoyanster np
@tucan Thank you!
@mikoyanster I would try to avoid using modded instruments but if you must, you can.
Sorry i have a question... instruments mod are allowed? thanks
@tucan ok thanks
@CatHoldingTheSun I dont think i would count that, there is a clear distinction between the wing and the body. It is not secular
@tucan So a Concorde would count?
@KnightOfRen ok.
@Skyhawkarmy sure?
@tucan
He is talking about the Valkyrie flying wing bomber from the first captain america movie
@Skyhawkarmy ?
Can I have the captain America bomber @tucan
@PioThePioneer y e s
@Jaspy109 no :)
@Y Are you gonna build it?
@Mulemwa lol okay.
@Stanmich I mean thats why I decided to only make it 10 points, its not all that much
@tucan I'm not saying for myself; I'm in there. but what about other people who don't wanna go with discord? I'm for advertising but when it affects the result of a challenge, that's not something fair.
@Stanmich then
join
:)@MikoMikoTheChan i would advise for it
