Power in this plane comes from a reaction cannon spitting spitting energy out of the back of the plane as Issac Newton explained there is an equal and opposite reaction so the plane goes forward. Its savage and you wouldnt want to be behind it but the plane flys. Power is below centerline so climbs when engaged and then will dive when un-powered. Landing gear was felt unnecessary as the chances are you will die long before trying to land, but it can skid to a halt on the rubber stops on its fuselage.

@smartypants ok
@mLk17 Thanks for your downloads and comments, hadn't seen your rocket until half an hour or so ago. Inspiration for this plane came when my son suggested recoil as a propulsion system instead of rotators when looking at fuel free power systems on a separate challenge.
I landed!
@Kipo lol
Awesome
Look at his name! XD @mLk17
@Kipo haha
@mLk17 yep! He just fancied it up!
