    The description from @CriticalAir’s post
    The AHS-13 Ikarus was created for Winswings Push-Pull Propeller Challenge

    Operation

    AG4 - Fires explosive bolts to separate crew compartment from aircraft
    AG5 - Deploy parachute
    F5 - Pilot View
    F6 - Crew View
    F7 - Reconaissance Camera View

    Stall Speed = 93 mph (approx.)

    Be careful during landing, as the rear prop can strike the runway, so minimum flare on landing!

    The (Alternate) History of the AHS-13 Ikarus

    Designed in the closing year of WW2 as a high altitude reconnaissance aircraft, the AHS-13 put the crew in a pressurized egg suspended between two booms. The large wingspan gave the AHS-13 a very high flight ceiling, allowing operations at more than 54,000 feet. The airplane featured a crew compartment that could be jettisoned as an escape pod in case of in-flight troubles.

    The aircraft only entered service in small numbers as it was no longer needed when the war ended.

    Designer's Notes

    This push-pull engine that Winswings created is really cool, and I couldn't resist entering the challenge even though it was a bit of a rush.

    @Tanner0501 not very long, I just repainted it from the original by switching the color pallet, I think it took me a total of 5 minutes to repaint it

    @CanofBeans I figured it out, it was a very crappy design that I ended up using for 2 flights then just went to using the Yeager Airport Final Approach to launch it
