Wingless Airplane

720 Nenry  8.5 years ago

A wingless airplane- meaning lift isn't generated from wings. Basically, throttle for takeoff, move VTOL forward and fly like normal. I tad bit unresponsive, but once you get the hang of it, it flies great!

    @Airmania no, it would be qualified as VTOL, because thrust in not supplied by rotors and it has the physics and control of a Norman airplane
