Ummmmm
Please try it out, it’s so weird

I cant view your video
Hmm
Yeah, thanks for being nicer than the rest... :D @Chancey21
Yeah, not trying to be toxic or anything but it is flying cause of stabilizer lift.
Oh, I don’t do that, I didn’t make the blocks either. @Tessemi
The drag is normal @Tessemi
@ACEPILOT109 ye right
Wow, that’s weird @MethaManAircraft
This actually does generate lift through the tail/horizontal stabilizers.
@CoolPeach @ACEPILOT109 @jamesPLANESii Try this@jamesPLANESii
Yeah, its some weird stuff @elmong
But they ain’t really ‘wings’
.
But yes, I get what your saying @elmong
@CoolPeach
I tried, you are correct, it’s the stabilisers
@ACEPILOT107 it’s the stabilisers, remove them and you couldn’t fly
Yup, I tried it with a stunt plane I made in the same way, this planes just one of a kind! @CoolPeach
Honestly this isn’t even that complicated and shouldn’t even have sparked this much confusion. SP calculates lift for all wings regardless of their purpose. You have a very very light craft and have just happened to place your engines and horizontal stabilisers so that it can somewhat fly. No, there is no such thing as body lift on SP, just take the wings from the back off and the plane no longer flies.
Lol, idk if that’s why it flys either. Who knows! @Tw1st3dPs7ch0
But they shouldn’t give it the lift to ‘fly’. They only controls the plane, Simpleplanes just says they generate lift. @Giggitymerf
Yes, it’s very strange. @MethaManAircraft @MethaManAircraft
Interesting... It seems that you did cheat yourself into proving this phenomenon by making the plane very light, however, I have experienced it myself too by making a plane entirely out of fuselage blocks (including control surfaces) and testing it with no wings at all.
IT WORKS!!!!
The wings are an airfoil shape so it does generate lift
?? @ACEPILOT109
Lol, your comment chain is like an airplane crash investigation, don’t tell any one that it’s made of that.
.
It’s the only why I know how to make my stol planes actually stol. @jamesPLANESii
SP physics, that’s just the elevators, not the wings @QingyuZhou
Sure @xXRaindropXx
