Auto Credit Based on Dumpworks's XB-43 Jetmaster

This aircraft was menat as a high speed contra-rotating pusher prop aircraft, though it was built directly after WWII and jets were a new way to reach higher speeds and the Mixmaster was then converted into the JetMaster when the aircraft was dubbed test pilots though the name sounded like a kitchen appliance hence the Flying Kitchen Appliance (Because the aircraft has pusher props are big it is unable to takeoff normally just wait till you run off the runway and are in the air to start pulling up)

    Other problems with the real mix master was the double cockpit made it hard for the pilots to communicate and when the bomb bay doors opened if disrupted the airflow to the props which caused vibrations
