Augered Swallow tail

2,178 ProvingMars  6.9 years ago

This is an engine mount demo.
It will fly, but the tail wants to oscillate. [Yes, I did it, again.]

The engines are mounted to a rotating boom, so the engines go around the boom. A simple idea, but I had not seen it anywhere.
Maybe this will give some of you ideas.

    @Loopy200 I Didn't realize that was the smoke exhaust. I thought I messed up changing the exhaust color(colour; for the Brits)

    @ProvingMars well the jets were emitting a black fire so I guess yeah this happens to me too but I don't know why

    So we need inlets, even when the intakes are open to air? @Loopy200

    @ProvingMars no problem just puts some inlets on it to make the engines faster.
