NNA-1 Prototype
Honestly, I think this is a first for me; a plane which has performence i am happy with! This twin-turboprop attack aircraft is capable of going 500 mph at sea level and over 700 mph at above 35k feet, has a large fuel load allowing it to stay in the air for long periods of time, and the capability to carry decently heavy weapon loads with little decrease in performence (full weapons testing not done yet). Takeoff and landing are not difficult and the aircraft is not hard to fly. It will be able to fill several different roles once completed: That of a bomber, that of an attack aircraft, and that of a patrol aircraft. I'm uploading this promising prototype mostly so I can get feedback on if I need more pitch or more weight in the tail. So if you have tips for this aircraft please comment below.

@DeezDucks Yeah, I did. Sorry, been having a bit of a crisis on another game.
@Noname117 Did you download it yet?
KK dosrry for the delay Here it is I improved as much I could for you enjoy :)
For anyone wanting to know, I made a slightly improved version of this aircraft. I'm going to see what DeezDucks has to offer to the plane and then decide on a production variant.

@DeezDucks Thanks. Onto whatever is after it I guess! I should probably get the second prototype uploaded now, and then see what effects your 8-blade props and flaps have to the aircraft.
@Noname117 Congrats on bronze!
@Noname117 Yes rotation wings they actually work :)
@DeezDucks So wait, are flaps wings on rotation blocks or airbrakes? Just wanting to double check this one.
@Noname117 Ahh on Computer there is this wondrous feature called part nudge where a player can move a part in a minuscule amount in every direction.I simple put them on the wing and once i mirrored it i nudged them to center but the flaps still work fine. 8 blades is done with xml modding.
@DeezDucks I'm curious, how does one even make flaps in this? Or 8 props for that matter. Anyways, I'm quite anxious to see how this stuff works
@Noname117 The thing is I just made a variant with decreased prop size but I modded it to have 8 blades and I made flaps. The problem with the flaps is that if you mirror the ntire plane it wont work anymore.
@DeezDucks That would be very helpful, very helpful indeed. Just built a slightly improved variant which I should probably upload for you. (Or you could put the flaps on then I could just remake the slight modifications).
Looks great! I mgt be able to add flaps for you to make landing much easier.
Ok, after more testing I'm realizing she stalls easily on landing, blowing up her propellers and causing a crash. Going to be adding more weight to the rear to make landing easier on the production variant. Still looking for advice on the aircraft.
