Flying Planet Explorer (Advanced!)

17.5k Benny3053  6.7 years ago

This is my attempt to build a extra planetary flying rover (or Drone?). Its a long duration electric plane that can fly up to 3 weeks nonstop. Its suppost to fly on other planets to explore the new environment. It has some probes and measuring devices on it to take e.g measurments from the atmosphere. The FPE gains electricity from its air turbine located in the front and the two solarpanels on the inner wings (blue plates). It can be fitted with more solar cells if needed. Of cause this vehecle has cameras. I marked them red and you can also add more if you want to. If you have questiones just ask :)

    @Smasher8ball this is totally up to you. This is just the basic model. You can add every scientific experiment you want.
