The second flare powered plane on simpleplanes.com
fire flares to fly (kind of)
it takes a while to take off but it can do it
this is a proof of concept
it works on the ground at least

I don’t know if someone already said this because the comments are long and I don’t want to scroll down but if you go in slow motion and spam flares you go super sonic
@Nerfaddict but this plane doesn't suffer from the warning issue
sike
yeet
im trying not to be that kind of person, but I thought of this 2.5 years earlier
@NexusGaming ok
@DerpTheSoyacfartala i made a flyable one, i will upload it later
@NexusGaming thats better
i wish you could hear my tone of voice
@EliteArsenals24
@DerpTheSoyacfartala it's a flare powered automajig
Oof
@NexusGaming you have to angle the gear so it doesn't serve as passive hyper braking :/
you cant say its a plane if it doesn't fly or get off the ground
you might as well call it a flare powered car
May want to change the 'first on site' part
oh I said T on yout teaser lol but I forgot about this
@QuitePossiblyMangled but it is still pretty much unused
Also, potato did this a while back with a rocket, so the propulsion idea unfortunate isn't new as stated in your teaser
link
Cool concept nevertheless.
Please spare me, I won't do it again
@QuitePossiblyMangled thou shall be executed for high treason
Alright, submitted idea to patent office under my name.
Still interesting though
It seemed to top out at 7mph
Interesting...
Interesting...
I am not quite 100% sure, but I’m pretty sure I’ve seen a plane powered by flare hitting a magnet, I think it was a year ago or so@NexusGaming
@5Ewok show me
Sorry to tell you, but one of these has been made before... nice job thinking of it though!
