Yes, powered by a single HeS-011 high altitude turbojet. And was going to have 4 X-4 Ruhrstahl wired guided missiles. As well as 45 degree swept wings and an advanced aerodynamic design :) @jamesPLANESii
It's wasn't the designs, just the engines held them back. So designed were often underpowered. Give the French a large amount of resources and they could design a masterpiece. On of their fighters had a 700hp engine yet it could keep up and out manuver a 109 @Jfalix
Avion III had controls. It just he was only able to fly it once. But then again it didn't help he had hand cranks to control the plane, it made it basically incontrollabe due to the slow nature of the hand cranks. Also the controls are viable but only effective if activated quickly: @ThePilotDude
Well, for me it's Whitehead . But my Ader also did make a 900ft jump with his Avion III. And then in 1894 Sir Hiram maxims giant steam powered machine broke off its track and started flying off and then crashed. But I believe Whitehead was the first. @ThePilotDude
Well, we are actually started doing testing for "wing warping" since we are going faster and want a cleaner profile on the aircraft. Plus ailerions was "inspired" by wing warping :) @BlackhattAircraft
It was a bomber, they gave it the fighter designation because 1. Fighter pilots wouldn't fly a bomber and 2. Only fighter pilots had the skill to fly it

Amazing, I have an upcoming project that I think you would like :)
+1:)
+2@haogejiuhaoge1 thanks, how did you become so good at building mechanical things?
Will the Ruhrstahls be controllable?
Yes @TheDestroyer818
Are you an actual engineer?
Lol @LiamW
anytime :) @RailfanEthan
A box of pizza rolls....

This is a work of art.... I'm absolutely stunned by it. Keep up the good work!
Oof
You added one part......

+1I see a lot of universal joints :)
How did you brick your phone?
:)
I figured it was :) @WarHawk95
Broomstick handle to open and close the hatch?
+2All movable tail for trim?
That is beautiful!
I need to stop delaying this and make it work.... this has even going on for like 2 months now @jamesPLANESii
@Theboss313 thanks for the upvotes :)
Congratulations, welcome to the gold club!
German engineering used in this design, data from the Arado company used in the design. Very nice :)

Yes, but they stuck to the same basic design which hindered them, a year later the French were well past them :) @Jfalix
Technically the first powered flight happened in 1876 by Felix Du Temple, but it wasnt a substained flight
+1This should be the page the Ader Avion was more advanced in some aspects than the Wright flyer in my opinion
+1Would you like a link? The controls were also the same on the Ader Éole as well @ThePilotDude
Ader had a method of rolling, yawing and pitching the plane, but they were just too slow due to the hand cranks. @ThePilotDude
Avion III had controls. It just he was only able to fly it once. But then again it didn't help he had hand cranks to control the plane, it made it basically incontrollabe due to the slow nature of the hand cranks. Also the controls are viable but only effective if activated quickly: @ThePilotDude
At least we can agree on that, it was a marvel of engineering. But I don't think the question of who flew first will ever be answered.... @Chancey21
It wasn't until 1904 and 1905 they had a reliable plane @Chancey21
The Wright flyer of 1903 was basically a straight shot, plus in wind tunnel tests it was shown to be basically unflyable. @Chancey21
The design has no changes, this is actually considered stealing....
114th*
He says it was, but it is questionable. He said he shifted his weight to bank the plane. But it had a normal elevator @Chancey21
Well, for me it's Whitehead . But my Ader also did make a 900ft jump with his Avion III. And then in 1894 Sir Hiram maxims giant steam powered machine broke off its track and started flying off and then crashed. But I believe Whitehead was the first. @ThePilotDude
+1They actually got a patent for ANY method of banking a plane..... well I meant wing warping not alierions but still @BlackhattAircraft
That patent should have never been granted
But then again ailerions were proposed long before the Wrights, they just accidently thought of the idea @BlackhattAircraft
Well, we are actually started doing testing for "wing warping" since we are going faster and want a cleaner profile on the aircraft. Plus ailerions was "inspired" by wing warping :) @BlackhattAircraft
+1Thanks man :) I apprecitate it @KerlonceauxIndustries
It was a bomber, they gave it the fighter designation because 1. Fighter pilots wouldn't fly a bomber and 2. Only fighter pilots had the skill to fly it
+1Oh my bad, I will make more complex stuff XD @Spacedoge12345plane
Not really but ok lol @Spacedoge12345plane
+1@Hyattorama thanks man
It's when a plane rolls slowly (or heavily) to one side even if the plane is perfectly balanced..... it's very annoying.
