Saw the challange and figured id make a 20 minute build soley focused on drag efficiency on a decently sized twin jet engine plane, and honestly, the landing gear is half the drag so id say its alrightyyy...Instructions- take off, go to about 29k feet, trim down between the last two notches, go to 40-45% power, ....., Profit?!?... also there is no modding on this badboy, didnt even touch the drag , hope you enjoy my flying cylinder

    That nose is actually more drag efficient than the stock ones

    Pretty boring build, but I dont play as much as I used to (helicopters break alot :/...) but I figured this would be a fun one, basic as it is. Learned a few wierd quirks in how the game calculates drag from this one (look at that nose bud)
