This is an experiment that I tried and it worked pretty well. The idea was to put a cannon with heavy recoil on the back of a plane where the engine would be. The recoil from the cannon would propel the plane forward. I only used one gun because it makes the aircraft more maneuverable and more stable than if I would have used two.

@Brendorkus Okay, I had to scratch one of the ideas. But, I'm still working on the other one.
@Brendorkus I'm working on two more gun-powered aircraft designs with VTOL capabilities. I think you might like them.
@Brendorkus Cool!
@Hellosss38 Thanks!
Interesting concept... I once made one that could go 4000 mph, and destroyed everything in its path. But I lost it when I forgot to save. This design of aircraft was “in style” during the release of tank cannons.
