Mark's plane dumpster ep.1

15.4k MarkTheDesignGuy  9 days ago

Hello everyone, today i wanted to start a new series of posts i'll use in between builds, but first...
lol
...Anyway, i've been scrolling through my saves and i found a lot of old prototypes and vehicles i didn't finish because they were either hard to work on or i didn't have the time or will to fully develop them.
While scrolling i thought i could share them as unlisted builds just in case anyone was interested. Surely better than just letting them collect dust while i work on stuff i actually want to build.
So, i will post 5 unfinished builds per post with a little breif story on why they came to be and why i haven't posted them.
You can download them if you want and use them freely for whatever you feel like doing, you could say they are free to use, but i doubt anybody will find them extremely useful.

Besides, without further ado here they are:

-VTOL airliner3
lol
-This little thing was built around october 2021, it was even teased on the A.C. 2 post, and was designed to be a compact vtol shuttle aircraft created to bring passengers on and off the massive A.C. 2 using the little landing pad at the rear. The main feature is the cylindrical wing design that i used to reduce width and allow easier operation, but it made the craft unstable and incapable of flying well at speeds under 300km/h. Not to mention that trying to dock this thing to the A.C. 2 was a nightmare and the prospect of having to do it every time i had to test this thing made me abandon ship very quickly.

-kamikaze plane
lol
-Not much to say about this one, i was bored one evening in 2020 and i was playing around with bombs, i took a look at one and i told myself: "what if i gave it wings?" and here's this little fella. The name is pretty much self-explanatory, have fun.

-naval transport
lol
-We're in mid 2020 and i was looking for a challenge to join, so i stumbled on a challenge for a naval transport. I started working on this but i soon had trouble finding a configuration i liked, and it being my first experiment with custom fuselage shapes i missed the deadline. But i liked my work on the cargo door for this, so i reused this same structure (with slight modifications) on my E.T.A. 1 and T.7

-pedestal fighter X
lol
-Similar story, different time. It was early 2022, and i decided to join a "pedestal fighter" challenge. I originally built this prototype to get used to this unusual configuration only to build a larger more refined aircraft later on. This prototype is complete and it proved i could get this configuration to work, but due to school work i kept delaying the actual fighter and i missed the deadline. The result? This prototype works pretty decently, while the real fighter is nothing but a fuselage and wing parts mess without any kind of engine so it's unusable.

-hover craft 1
lol
-Built in mid 2020, this was just a little experiment to make a land vehicle capable of running on water and land at the same time. I even thought about posting this in 2021 but at that time i was already building stuff i felt was of higher quality so i left this thing to rot and started working on a new airframe. Unfortunately the second version never behaved as well as this one so the whole prospect of releasing a hovercraft got scrapped.
