The Concorde's nose actually had the ability to change from a straight position to a "drooped" position for take-off and landing. If you take my original plane and press AG1 + VTOL Down and AG2 + VTOL Down, the nose will go to this position, just like it did in real life.
I agree with @Tully2001. That is the best solution. However, I thought that MH370 was actually caused by the pilot committing suicide by crashing the plane intentionally. I guess we'll never know.
The problem with this is that then ATC controllers would have to be trained for EVERY plane under EVERY situation on top of the hacking. As if their job wasn't hard enough already!
@Iamsilverdahedgie Because when the Concorde was landing, it had a tendency to fly at a steep angle, and while flying at that angle, the pilots couldn’t see over the nose of the plane. So in order to solve the problem, the designers created the droop nose system, so the pilots could see over the nose.
@QingyuZhou @ForeverPie I'll get started on the Boeing 737-300, because there's a bunch of good blueprints for it online and there doesn't seem to be many on SimplePlanes.
@CjrLdy you know how people’s jaw drops when they see something amazing? You know how it’s impossible for your jaw to drop to the floor unless it suddenly fell off/cut off? Yeah...
Back when I was beginning, I tried to make this type of plane, but I never finished it because I forgot about it after a while. Based off of what I can remember, this is much better than mine!
@Victor039 Another thing: This time the weight/lift balance was on the same spot. I moved the cockpit block foward and added some deadweight and it flew very well.
@Victor039 Please do, but I think you’re problem is actually lack of lift. Make your wings larger. Also, try just 3000 hp in the engines and make the props larger. It looks more realistic and flys a little faster. For your design, I think 230 would be a good cruise speed.
@Victor039 Check the center of lift and center of weight. I deal with issues like described by either moving the wings foward or adding fuel and dead weight to the rear.
I believe I have found the first cube with multiple personality disorder lol
This more than deserves to be featured! Great work man!
Outstanding! Better than I could do!

@SSSvaSSa @orendel Thanks!
@BACconcordepilot @Tang0five @SledDriver Thanks!
Odd. What version do you have?
The first name I thought when I saw this was Batfox

Wow! Amazing work especially for Bronze!

that moment when you find a plane that truly deserves a spot light but the website won’t let you
Nice work!

@JackTheBestBoss I'm aware, I just forgot to add that into the description lol
@DerekSP Exactly. They would also have to reduce the number of passengers because on the runway the plane would always act heavier.
Yes! One of my favorite cars!
Will it work with steam?
@ForeverPie That sounds like fun. I'll think about it!
He has been enlightened.
@QingyuZhou I'll definitely need your help for those. Thanks for the offer too!
AXIS WW2 AIRCRAFT.
The mechanics of this are very interesting!
@Trainzo 1:1 scale! Glad you enjoy!
@Tang0five I really thought about doing British Airways but I’ve never done a livery this complex before.
How do you post pictures? I'm so confused! Good work btw!
This is a pretty cool idea actually! I like how you took a default plane and turned it into your own!
@FASTFLIGHT Thanks! Glad you enjoy it!
Concorde maybe?
@CjrLdy you know how people’s jaw drops when they see something amazing? You know how it’s impossible for your jaw to drop to the floor unless it suddenly fell off/cut off? Yeah...
jaw falls off
Back when I was beginning, I tried to make this type of plane, but I never finished it because I forgot about it after a while. Based off of what I can remember, this is much better than mine!
And...?
Even by my standards this is a little extreme...
How interesting... IMA DOWNLOAD IT!!! XD
jaw falls off face
Do a paper plane! Or something!
@Victor039 Glad I could help!!!

@Victor039 Sure!

I just flew this plane without anything in the tail for a few minutes - AND LANDED!!! XD
@Victor039 That’s fine! Goodnight!
