XF-1-A Halcyon

7,203 Xogo  8.6 years ago

This big, beautiful beast is the Halcyon, a plane much larger than anything I've ever made. It's also a plane that really makes myt wish you could add more connection points on the wings, and make said points more stable. Originally this plane was going to be much, much faster than it is (It's actually very slaw, by fighter jet standards). It was to have 6, maybe even 8 engines to power it. Unfortunately, adding more weight, and then pushing the plane faster, caused the wings to develop a rather interesting problem - Past 800 mph, the wings would flap after any maneuver that was anywhere near vigorous. This makes me wish I could make my wings be connected at two, stiffer points, which would remedy this problem. Pylons on 1-3. I would like to stress that this is an unmodded creation - any abnormal positioning has been achieved through the nudge function.
