This was an actual concept plane, believe it or not. Designed by Barnes Wallis along with Vickers if memory serves correctly. This was in essence the United Kingdom variant of the B-36 Peacemaker and was designed to carry the Grand Slam bomb. There are various variants of concepts for this aircraft and so far I've created three of them, although two are different variants of the type C. This is obviously the first type C variant. Use activators 1-3 to start up and shut down engines. Anyway, until l next time, happy flying!!

Sweet, thanks @Squirrel

@Squirrel where? I don't see it?
@Akshay25 Uploaded it!
Also, I'm giving you the honour of naming the plane! Choose wisely
@Squirrel thanks so much man!! Once again, I really appreciate the help, I can't wait to see what you did! So yeah, I give you permission to upload it, and I'll upload it too :) yay!
@Akshay25 The centre of lift was too far forward in relation to the centre of thrust and mass, that and the aircraft was somewhat heavy. So I've removed all the weight at the rear of the aircraft and sweaped the wings back a bit and added a tail in order to bring the CoL back a bit, also got rid of the set of canards placed above the engine. Speaking of engines, I modded in some VTOL ones in order to get rid of two of them (save weight again) and added a set of modded afterburning engines to increase the top speed to over 1000mph. Probably worth noting I've utilised the VTOL nozzels in conjunction with the afterburning engines to give it some STOL performance, so it can now take off at about 100mph. Probably worth noting that it cannot perform VTOL through.
I made some other minor changes, but they didn't really take away from the performance or the airframe, just made it look a little tidier. But if you're happy with everything I've mentioned, I'll upload it for you.
@Squirrel thank you so much squirrel, I really appreciate the help. Also I hope you can fix the plane. Right now, I'm stuck with it. Also I don't mind if you mess around with the structure at all. Just keep the basics as it is, if that's possible, if not I don't mind. Thanks again mate :)

@Akshay25 I think there's an option on the uploads thing (when you're inputting the description, photos, etc) that's set to public by default. I assume you can set that to private and then upload it. As for me getting hold of it, try sending a link to it on here. If that doesn't work, you'll probably have to upload it publicly.
Okay cool, but how would I send you a copy privately?
@Akshay25 I wouldn't say I'm amazing, but sure, I'd be happy to help. I might be able to upload it privately, then you can download it and upload it publicly.
I was wondering if you could help me finish building a plane that I have been working on for a while now? If you're interested just let me know, I've built the fuselage and wings, however it doesn't seem to fly very well. I know you're amazing at configuring planes, so hopefully you can help me on this project. Thanks anyways, :)
Hey, nice planes btw. Really like the whole background behind the planes too!
