Heart of the Sun II (multiple wings challenge)

1,605 Cubensis  3.1 years ago
Auto Credit Based on airlinerbuilder's multiple wings challenge (Closed)

My polished hypermaneuverability split-wing test design; Ive found that an X-wing type design actually reduces the turning circle by quite a large amount, while also increasing overall stability.

VTOL up to split the wings once in flight to utilize this feature.

    I have thank you for telling me that I will try moving the vtol slider before I judge a plane @Cubensis

    It’s essentially uncontrollable unless you use the VTOL slider to split them. Actually download it and try it out before you judge. @Simplemaster211

    The wings are so close together it’s pretty much cheating
