XR-76

4,859 Thunderhawk  2.9 years ago

Made for @FarrowTECH ‘s Canard Aircraft challenge: https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/rOkP3j/Canard-Aircraft-Challenge

I decided the best way to solve the inherent stabiliy issues that canard planes have was just to add another wing! This plane ended up very stable and manuverable as a result.

Standard plane controls.
Use trim as needed (not much at subsonic).
VTOL for supersonic engine (or short takeoff).
