    If you want it to fly you need to make the distance from the tail and main body closer or entirely fill in the gap and put and equal amount of engines at the front and back although this design looks very cool @Ian1231100

    @Ian1231100 ok so the problem is there's a big gap in the middle and that's where the centre of lift is, the centre of mass, thrust and lift are all in the centre making it impossible to take off they should go in order from last to first: Thrust/lift/mass
