Sorry for the late objective

You will need to build a plane that has 0 lift;
The engine lifts you
ONLY the engine.

The reward is an upvote from me and a spotlight (if possible)

You can use the gyro from my plane and tweak it a
Iittle, but if you tweak the controls, tell me what you did.

The rewards will be given to the categories:

Weight class

Light aircraft (2500 lbs or less)
Medium aircraft (between 3000 and 10000 lbs)
Heavy aircraft (12000 lbs or more)
Excessive amounts of Dead weight will not be tolerated unless you have a really good excuse.

Or(choose 1 of each or just one)

Usage

Leisure (small and for fun)
Transport (medium sized craft that looks like it can or really can carry a lot of stuff)
Bomber (medium sized and has bombs and maybe missiles)
Fighter (small and carries missiles and maybe guns)
DREADNOUGHT (HEAVY AND HAS EVERYTHING DESTRUCTIVE IN VANILLA GAME)

Again, please only choose 1 of each category or only one thing.

Please put your submissions as successors or link them in the comments.
