Why does this fly?

75 Stone787  4.8 years ago

I built this plane out of pure imagination, and suprisingly, it flys, and it flys even better than many other planes. This makes no sense; Why does the heli-motor not break, why does the pitch work properly when its inverted... someone wise please explain!

    Thanks Stinkydude3. But I don’t think the helicopter rotors are insignificant, because I added it to balance the heavy nose, and after I added it the plane stopped diving every time.

    The helicopter rotors thrust is so insignificant compared to the jet engine that it barely affects the flight characteristics, so its pretty much decoration. but its still a pretty cool plane!
