Auto Credit Based on AgDynamics's P-40 Warhawk
I made a new prop that uses a vtol engine And thrusters to mimic a prop engine. To use throttle up the motor to start the spin, then by moving the vtol down it will increase your speed, moving it up will slow you down and move the aircraft in reverse. Upvote?

It's not really a "new" idea, but the Warhawk really does make a great testbed so I'm glad that people are finding uses for it!
However, @Evanc, @Lolivier and @CJredwards are right, prior to the most recent update, VTOL-nozzle props were the only way to do propellers at a decent size, and pretty common.
See this and this and this for examples and/or inspiration. Keep experimenting, though!
@Bmw1230 not like my plane at all, did u even fly it?

@Lolivier I don't see any with my design
And what did I not proved? That this is already saw? I keep saying to check any prop plane older than 2-3 months, you will see.
@Lolivier you haven't proved anything yet, just that you are a keyboard warrior lol.
I'm not butt hurt, like you said, I just made you realize that this is not really new (new for you, but already saw for the rest of website), that's all. If you want to think something other with what I said, think it, but I know what I said. I'm sorry if it was insulting, I wanted to clear some points. That's all.
@Lolivier well I made it, it was new to me, and it sounds like you are just butt hurt because you can't make anything worth while. If you want to be a negative nancy, and put down others; have fun with that.
@Evanc "revolution" "I made a new prop"
And yeah, like I said, there are plenty of these planes if you go back in time a little
@Cjredwards Yeah, I tried to design planes with this configuration back in time but I just gave up, modding on iOS is almost impossible without jailbreaking, and I'm a bad aircraft designer
@loliver, I don't see where I ever said I invented anything, lol, I just made something you don't really see to much of,
Nozzles were only placed directly on wing blades
Yah I was just wondering. @Lolivier it brought back my p-51 nightmare! Lol
@Cjredwards He thought he invented a new system (prop with VTOL and nozzle) since this system is used since really much time
@cjredwards, because this is faster, and you have a better control of acceleration and de acceleration with this prop
We can see you're recent in this website; this system exist since the first beta, when rotators and airbrakes were new. There are numberless of planes that used this before new custom prop engines, just search a little in aircrafts that are older than 2-3 months
Why didn't you just use the prop that was already on his plane?
