Prop Fighter Challenge. [closed]

52.6k Astro12  2.8 years ago

So, welcome to my new challange. I haven't been with them in a while, and now I'm back. Today, (as the name implies) you will be building a propeller fighter.

It's almost a competition among identical planes. The point is the same. You have to build a propeller fighter, but I didn't say how you should build it. Think about that point.

Read carefully what is written here. It may help you.

do not be intimidated by the large number of rules, they are very easy to follow.

Rules:

1.must be the successor.
2. No mods (I have android) (Only XML modified.)
3. not more than 450 parts.
4. Must be prop engine.
5. It have to be Fighter.
6. any number of entries per person, but the prize is received for the best option, and only once.
7. The aircraft must perform the function for which it was designed.

Penalties for breaking the rules :
  1. -5 points.
  2. Disqualification.
  3. -10 points for each 10 extra parts. (rounded up)
  4. Disqualification.
  5. Disqualification.
  6. this rule cannot be broken.
  7. it will affect test scores.

points:

Appearance: 30 points.
The fighter performs its function: 25 point.
Flight characteristics: 20 points.
Cool features: 25 points.
Description : 25 points.

You get extra points for the originality of the idea.

TOTAL 120 PTS

awards

1st place: 15 upvote.
2nd place: 11 upvote.
3rd place: 8 upvote.
4th place: 5 upvote.
5th place: 3 upvote.
Audience Award: 4 upvote, spotlight aircraft that participated in the competition(If I can).
Consolation prize: 1 upvote.

(Audience Award - I give out to an aircraft that I liked, but did not make it to the top.)(Subjectively)


I give points for original ideas. Get the hint?

Fighter-bombers and interceptors are also welcome. This is a challange for all types of fighters.

    @LieutenantSOT I did better than I thought I would, given the creativity and workmanship of many here, but not as well as I wanted to... not that I expected I'd actually do as well as I wanted! lol I think I was in the top 10 (regardless of the 5 points I was erroneously docked), only a little above where you were actually.
    .
    Speaking of which, I liked the mid-fuselage Pusher, Delta Wing config you had. Particularly because it had a wing setup much like one I've been wanting to attempt :}
    I don't think what I'm wanting to do will pan out, but, I still gotta try it one of these days! A "dynamic" wing, basically. I think the actual, real world variant's name is something like "Variable Geometry Airfoil" or close to that. I think BMW also made a concept car using the same tech, where the car's body shape was variable. In either case, the frame/skeleton of the wing can be moved on multiple axis, which when paired with its stretchable 'skin', produces the ability to change the shape of the wing and its aerodynamic properties.
    .
    But yea... Lots and lots and looots of control surfaces is my thought on how to bring it to SP! lol Which is why I'm not entirely sure it'll work out how I'm hoping...

    @LieutenantSOT Thanks! :D
    And yea, I was gone from July 14th and just got back on Aug 18th :} I had to submit my entry hastily the night before I left, didn't get to do any further work like I'd have wanted to... Alas, I'm still happy with it, so we'll see what Astro thinks. I'm going through them all, in order, but haven't come to mine yet. Hopefully that's a good thing! lol
    .
    Anyways, thanks again, and for the quick response!

    @Mrm19 if you can, trying to lower the weight of the aircraft via xml, and removing all but about 300 drag
