@argarlargar Another solution is to use Delta Canards starting narrow in the front and eventually being almost as wide as the plane in the rear. This is like the design used on the Concorde, and in my experiments, I have concluded that it produces an unimaginable amount of lift if done correctly due to the immense wing area.
@ForeverPie
The problem with that is at high speeds, with that much wing area, the wings would just tear apart. But great suggestion!
@argarlargar And that wing loading will be a large factor too. If you make the wing area greater it will lift off at a much slower speed.
@ForeverPie
Since the weight of the aircraft is so high, it needs more momentum to get off the ground.
Great build!
Quick question: Why is the takeoff speed so high?
@vonhubert Not really. The windows are big but still normally sized.
cockpit is too big for such a huge plane) Pilots would have front windows like 2m high)
