Alright, so it's high time I kick my craft production back into gear. I've stalled lately, pun intended, and I could use a little jolt.
I need ideas, I need a solid goal, I need new modes of thinking.
I need to pool my resources, and so I'm turning to you, the wonderful community of smart people, for help!
First off, I need a goal. A solid, definite, functional goal. An aircraft.
I've thought of a few to choose from:
- VTOL "truck"
- Stealth cargo
- Gunship
- Helicopter
- Flagship (Like the gunship, only big(er) and scary(er))
- Hulamachopter (Like a heli, but cuter)
- A floating otter gunboat
- A functioning Catalina
And with one of these zeroed in on, I'll start.
Then there's the matter of learning something new. I could use a few resources like documentaries or web pages that explain different functions for different aircraft like airfoil types, how the shape of the body affects flight and all that nerdy stuff.
I'd love it if we could all come together to make one fantastic piece of engineering~!
Let's do this, my fine feathered friends!

@SkyborneFox Who?
@OtterOfToast perhaps we can take inspiration from HypnoToad
@SkyborneFox Alas. Blast!! Our quest for the perfect airframe continues. We were close, but not quite.
@OtterOfToast yeah, of that I am aware. There are limits though
@SkyborneFox XD Nah nah I mean versatility. It can fly to space now (thanks ^_^), but I'm talking about versatility and speed and.. like-- getting it as maneuverable as a sphere.
@OtterOfToast okay. All I ever did was shove a few infinite fuel tanks in it lol
@SkyborneFox Well I AM working on that one ^-^ I'm just not sure where to go with it next. It's really about as good as it gets. Alas, I didn't make the airframe as versatile as I had intended.
Maybe we could finish up the Ethereal?
I like the idea of a Hulamachopter
Alright, so so far I'm thinking: Gun ship, VTOL truck or the stealth cargo first. I'll get to all of these eventually =3
@Static This looks like the first Aerospace module from CAP. Neat, thanks ^^
@Tully2001 Well of course! Just thinking what to do first ;3
For some useful information, this Wikipedia article is useful for basic information. For inspiration, I suggest a super high speed stealth bomber.

VTOL TRUCK!!!!!!
