Bus + Ornithopter = This !

Design

After failing to make it a sea plane i got the crazy idea to merge the cabin with my ornithopter concept and oh boy im glad it did that !

Original Idea

+

Ornithopter Prototype

How is it working ?

Well the "engines" are made of 3 rotators wich i got the idea from this video :

(Game Flyout)
Basically it is a remake of his system with an auto throttle control and ofc adapted for SimplePlanes.

Its pretty detailed !


Controls :

AG1. Doors
AG2. Lights
Every other control is like a regular plane ^^
Take off speed
Ground: more than 300kmh
Sea: more than 400kmh
No fuel needed
It also got a self pitch stabilizer and works prefectly fine without any gyro :D

Rotator System Is Free to Use As Long As You Credit Me :D

Also i need help to make a VTOL version of this working without Gyro and Without Regular Engines so please if you have any idea/suggestion comment it !

Enjoy the Flight !

    @ThomasRoderick I still have it ^^ sadly it does not fly well at all and despite all my efforts to make it fly while keeping this design I can't :( so i kinda gave up on it

    The fact that you even shared the original concept and early models breathes so much life into it. Love that it's an original design as well.
