If you like firefighter but you think it should involve more plane you gonna love this one!

Use this beast just like french firefighters : take off, scoop water (please land on water below 160 mph) and go kick the ass of the fires!

Retract landings gears with VTOL up. Enjoy!

    @thomasjaf the c-119 dosnt go anywhere with either if you spin them it the same speed

    @Thebrendon55c Did you try what I've told you on the C-119? Send me an example of what you say, I don't beleive you!

    @thomasjaf The reason it seems like that on that one is because part of it drags the ground a little in the rear but I tested something like that on my WW2 era plane by making it spin just as fast with the nozzles on the tips as it would with them on the rotators then put them on the rotators and made the same speed happen again and the plane went maybe half a mile per hour slower with it on the rotators so while the nozzles on the tips do provide some form of propulsion to the airplane it is very miniscule and unavoidable to make a practical prop airplane.

    @Thebrendon55c Nope. Watch them when they are stopped, they are both pointing to the rear. Block the axis on both propellers of your C-119 and see by yourself.

    @Thebrendon55c nvm that one I misthought it but the tilt of the nozzle is wayy to shallow to make a plane go at 250 plus mph with only 3 vtol engines.

    @thomasjaf When you use 45 degree tilt one points back one points forward so if that did make and thrust it would cancel itself out

    @Thebrendon55c https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/7dx08k/CRF-H-Prototype This kind of stuff use the force of the blades, the others, the VTOL nozzle point back when you tilt the blades, I did the test run and when the nozzles don't tilte the efficiency is... bad! I'll see your lambada shuttle, but seems really hard!

    @thomasjaf also you are goood with making things fly so can you check out my revision of the lambada shuttle and see if you can give some input? ive tried just about everything

    @thomasjaf it does in fact use ony blade force no nozzle force nozzle force just makes it turn. you can prove it by increasing the tilt on the blades and the plane goes faster and real props are not much bigger if not the same size as the ones on it

    @Thebrendon55c Please do, but I didn't because "real prop" are very big and only use the force of the nozzle and not the force of the blade... And you'll probably have trouble taking off the water as well. Anyway, do whatever you want!

    Cool design do you mind if I make it a real prop power plane?
