Push pull twin fuselage dive bomber

105 AJTrask  7.8 years ago

This is my first submitted aircraft. I wanted to try a push-pull twin fuselage aircraft and I'm fairly happy with this design. The left cockpit would seat the pilot with the pusher engine presenting a clear line of sight. The right cockpit seats the tail gunner with the puller engine staying clear from the defensive gunfire. The aircraft flies stable at higher speeds but becomes unstable at slower speeds, making takeoff and landing tricky. Constructive criticism is welcomed and feel free to improve as you wish.
