Challenge time!

Have you ever wanted to create an odd airplane?
Now's your chance! The world of X-Planes is full of wacky designs built to test new technologies.

Below are some examples of X-Planes for inspiration purposes.


Bell X-1, the OG fast boye


X-31 thrust vector demonstrator


X-29, sporting a rather unique wing configuration

Rules

  • Must be an X-Plane (obviously)
  • No paper designs. This means only build aircraft that have at least made it to the mockup stage.

  • Any era is allowed, from the X-1 to the X-59.

  • Your airplane will graded out of 20. If there are multiple planes with perfect scores, I will chose my personal favorite.
  • Please keep entries as realistic as possible.
  • Part count must be at least 150. I am not imposing a limit on how many parts your plane can have, go wild!
  • All entries will recieve an upvote :D
