Rutan Inspired Push Prop
I was recently told the wonderful news that props can now be push props, so I decided I had to try it out. My design is partially inspired by Burt Rutan's several designs. Push props are extremely efficient for some reason, I think it has to do with the fact that its not throwing are onto it's fusselage like most planes do, it's just shooting a clear stream of air straight out the back. My design somehow also got that effiency, I've flown around for several minutes straight and the bar never dropped below 100% fuel. It's not incredibly fast, but it's still pretty fun. It is the first plane that I have succesfully landed on the bridge. I hope you have fun with it, if you do, don't forget to come back and let me know. Also, leave any comments or questions you have below
