@A5mod3us nothing above warp 1 pretty certainly. I was thinking the new turbofan modded to be much more powerful, and fusilage pieces for lots of fuel...then some shape like the NX-01 Enterprise or something. Reasonable size though
@NovaTopaz 4 missiles would never fit in that.
Go to look at @WalrusAircraft - See his list of airplanes, look for tricycle landing gear.
Thats XML modded rotators. attach the tail 'fins' to them, make them respond to pitch, then have the yaw control surface.
YAW/PITCH combined.
Or just use Dihedral on vertical stabilisers, which needs NO XML modding what-soever to get the angled tail fins.
@PuhBuhGuh Thats what I mean, air bouyancy, that would also decrease weight. Put a helium balloon attached to a 50 gram weight on some scales. It won't weigh 50 grams. (Well, the scales won't read 50 grams)
@XVIdarkLithium The new parts, the parts you can change the shape of? Durr!
I'm very British, through and through jolly ol chap, so why not a cucumber smoked salmon sandwich with a side of scones and tea this afternoon, jolly Ho! ☕️🕧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧‼️‼️‼️
@karlosdarkness you truly hate all tail dragging gear don't you :P well, most planes are easier to fit taildragging onto, as the front is wide and back is thin, as a simple rule of thumb.
@XVIindustries @WalrusAircraft I wish we had floating parts, then we could have zeppelins with big big balloons! -I'd so want that, plus antigravity would be far easier-
@JacobHardy64 @A5mod3us I'm trying to make my own nice crop duster plane, I'm trying to use 0.5 wide fusilage bars, then adding VTOL stabiliser thrusters to make the white gas eject.
@JacobHardy64 I did forget to up vote this one, but comments don't mean an up vote is required, that'd just be like the wars over three star ratings again.
Time for the RIA to add they're own variation, with a suitably long designation.
Give it a slightly thinner wingspan, and we'll be in the days of shuttles!
How do you manage to make these helicopters! I can't get them to fly well at all when I make them!
@Spikerya that's easy :P it's 4 powerful engines!
It's beautifully simple. I've never seen such a simple yet elegant plane. No clipping, just stock parts in a basic setup. Nice!
@Spikerya Mach 3 heh. Mind reminding me Mach 3 in mph, I'm to lazy to do the conversion :P
Thanks @Spikerya @WaterAirLand and @Delphinus - could you give me some inspiration for my next plane maybe?
It's nice, but try folding wings on two axis like my folding wing plane, then the folded wings don't stick up really high
@TheLatentImage what do you think of this idea? :)
@A5mod3us I don't mind an intrepid. The alternative is a Prometheus class-like ship, the above and below nacelles would balance the COT right.

Hey, I was thinking about making a 'warp capable' ship. (Aka very fast)! Want to help?
@Hunter77 woo 3rd place we a reincarnation of one of my original planes!
@XVIindustries hey, I'd love you to recreate the plane from the film 'starlight one' (AKA 'starflight: the plane that couldn't land')!
Thanks! @karlosdarkness

@Authros @karlosdarkness @ A5mod3us your opinions?

@XVIdarkLithium The new parts, the parts you can change the shape of? Durr!
Its quite pretty actually
I love the whole thing with the inlets, could you maybe make a 1 wide 1 high, 1 long fusilage peice with 2 slim inlets attached?
@karlosdarkness you mean have a 2 back 1 forward setup :P there being no rear/tail landing gear would be truly taildragging-on-the-runway

@XVIindustries @WalrusAircraft would one of you do a post on the Reddit. I do one on the forums then.
@karlosdarkness you truly hate all tail dragging gear don't you :P well, most planes are easier to fit taildragging onto, as the front is wide and back is thin, as a simple rule of thumb.
@WalrusAircraft subreddit or the forums...which would you say I should do it on.
@WalrusAircraft well I'm on iOS so I can't mod :*( but it would be nice, they could do a separate fusilage part with ONLY buoyancy and floatability!
@XVIindustries @WalrusAircraft I wish we had floating parts, then we could have zeppelins with big big balloons! -I'd so want that, plus antigravity would be far easier-
Have a go at making a passenger plane, with a (decorational) doors, windows and maybe even two-tone paint @ramjet !
You should make it fold up.
@221131 thanks!
Looks fun. Why lunch the missile? Why not dinner it. :P
Reminds me of hypersonic 1. The plane that couldn't land.
@A5mod3us my own design, but quite inspired by this one, it has to have a longer body to be able to hide a VTOL engine to power the stabilisers.

@Rohan one big error you made, we can't get 5STAR RATINGS no more! I'm in anyway
@A5mod3us Hey, A challenge for you, try to use this simpleplanes and compete with the altitude of this guy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uNjNGkPo9B4
@JacobHardy64 the original comment was a question though, not praise
:)
Dont post things twice.
@Delphinus I'm starting to think your the second person ever to follow me, I'm feeling all popular :D
@Delphinus don't worry, I won't close it till atleast three entries are in.
@JacobHardy64 I did forget to up vote this one, but comments don't mean an up vote is required, that'd just be like the wars over three star ratings again.
@A5mod3us yeah I'd love to see the real one in a video if you know any videos of them?
It is beautifal, like SERIOUSLY BEAUTIFAL I'm going to have to tag a few people to show them this. @Authros @A5mod3us and @WaterAirLand
It looks like a farmers plane, but did it actually cut the crops, I'd love to see a video of one in action
@WaterAirLand @Sirstupid @Delphinus thanks for the up votes, are you going to participate?
4/10
@PhilipTarpley well, thrust is one point, but making the engines always be perfectly vertical is well, a very big problem indeed.
It's beautifal!
@skyguy265 well every entry will be up voted from me if its good.
@ramjet I made a strong artillery that works, you could mount that to a vehicle
