The first English Built powered areoplane to fly, built by Alliott Verdon Roe in his coach-house, it was a strange design, it was originally a Wright flyer style biplane with a canard at the front, it had no vertical tail surfaces and once Mr Roe added the French V8 engine the plane couldn't lift so he added two more lifting surfaces he later founded Av-Roe.Co (AVRO) and the company made many famous aircrafts like the Lancaster and my favourite, the Vulcan
The plane is not actually a flyer guys, she can do small hops but can't fly under full control due to lack of vertical stabilisation (just like the real thing)
It used my new wing warping roll controls as is just a fun plane to fly

Lol it's mighty fine@VonRichthofen
Great airplane as usual my friend.
How do you like my new profile picture, by the way? I'm going to brag and say I drew it myself
Nice, it actualy feels like how one can imagine it would...
Yay! Old planes again!
@XVIindustries But the design is just an art.
Yes @JovianPat
Amazing design, but it explodes while rolling. Maybe because I'm on high physics?
Very cool very swag I like it lol Maby someone will get the reference also that wing warping though
Looks cool, I just woke up five minutes ago, I didn't get to fly it yet
