Weird spiral plane

A weird plane (can this even be called a plane) that uses double helixes for propellers. It takes off and lands without any landing gear (most of the time) and flies at 200 mph. You can go faster by holding roll in 1 direction. It can swim but don't be at full throttle when in water. Controls like a normal plane. Throttle to 0% causes it to rapidly pitch up, dont do that.

    @PPLLAANNEE oh son, let me educate you:
    Back in the day when SimplePlanes was still relatively simple, and there were only a handful of Platinum users, there came a user named HypnoToad. He was, if I remember correctly, the first person in SimplePlanes to hit platinum rank. They had a very peculiar building style, where they would make absolutely ridiculous geometrical fractal-like flying machines, almost entirely out of only wing parts. They almost looked like shattered stained glass as they sliced through the air, and for their time, they were among some of the most intricate and beautiful things on the website. He started a trend with the hypno-plane design, named after both him and the aircrafts’ “hypnotic appearance”, and suddenly everyone tried their hand at making a hypno-plane inspired build. Soon enough, the website was filled to the brim with these creations, each one different from the last, with their own unique designs and patterns. It was truly a moment in SimplePlanes history where all logic in creating “normal” planes was entirely destroyed, and people really let their wildest ideas flow forth with the Hypno-Plane design. Unfortunately, Hypnotoad is no longer active, as far as we know. But their fame shall live on!


    here’s a link to the Hypno-Plane tag. Yes, the design became so popular that it got it’s own designated tag in the website! Additionally, here’s a link to Hypno’s account, where you can find all of his creations.
