Alternate energy challange [CLOSED]

For this challange, you need to make a plane that does not use any gas, or jets, or propellers, (you get the idea). I want to see how creative you can be in coming up with new plane ideas. You can use airbrakes, or modified rotator propellers, or whatever, but no actuall motors. If I find any jets hidden in your build, you will be automatically disqualified.

You can make planes, cars, boats, whatever you want. You can have or not have weapons/countermeasures/special stuff. (Your choice, but some kind of futuristic electric bomber would be cool)

Entries will be judged on several things.
Look 1-10 points,
driving 1-10 points,
special 1-10 points,
range (how far it can fly/drive/boat) 1-10 points,
and propulsion system (how much I like it) 1-10 points, with a max of 50 points. Whoever has the most points will win.

Rules: 1, no gas, (there can be motors, or Jets, or props for decoration, but they must not run)
2, must be a sucsessor (obviously).
3, the only mods that are allowed are the two that sp automatically comes with.
4, cannot be a plane that you have already made. (although if you have already made a “green energy aircraft” then you can use the same technology)
5, must be under 300 parts.

Any serious entrey will be upvoted.

Prizes: first place= 15 upvotes. Second place= 10 upvotes. Third place= 5 upvotes. Also, the most upvoted plane will get 5 upvotes. There will be 4 winners total, because nobody can win with two planes.

The deadline for entries is February 1st. Have fun, and happy new year!

    Originally it was, but no one else had posted anything, and I had forgotten that you were going to, if you need any extra time, it’s fine if it is past the first.

    I suggest you post your plane if you built one. There are 3 days left.

    @Mousewithamachinegun123 I think it will work better now than it did back then because I have more points and followers.

    Well, I think that to have a sucsessful challange, you gotta have a bunch of people join, right at the begining, and then it gets more likes, so more people see it, and then more people join it (it just keeps repeating)

    It will be interesting to see. Also, are you going to do any more tintin challenges? I would love to enter one, as that is a book I have literally read for my entire life.

    @Aano78 yes this actually would be helpful if you want to complete that chalange, (going the distance) but I think that there are easyer ways to complete it.

    Seems cool. AND I can probably try to improve my replica skills as well

    I just now realized that this is just a more elaborate version of going the distance. Still great though!

    @UnicornBunnys You should most likely use gizmos or the cleaver for propulsion, but it will need to be modified with the overload mod (allowed)

    If you want to build something else, here is another idea that I built.It uses modded air brakes to power it. Just an idea for anyone that wants to participate in this challenge.

    @Aano78 yes as long as it does not run, and there is no fuel. Up just for decoration

    Ok. This is the second time I have been asked if you can put a motor on. Apparently people like motors. I am slightly changing the rules. Anyone can put a motor on their vehicle, but it must not run, and there can be no fuel on the car
