    @Belloaka

    1. Take a screenshot.
    2. Upload it to an image sharing website, like imgur.com.
    3. Get the share link to the image. This will look like http://website.com/image.jpg.
    4. Finally, use the code below to embed the image in the description:

    Note that if the image link starts with https://, you need to change it to http://.

    I was just wondering, how do you upload pictures from simple planes onto this website?

    @Planeboi49620 That would be worse than using pistons, you'd have unconnected bodies inside your aircraft. And what happens when momentum and/or air resistance push the moving bit back inside the cavity? Add more engine power?

    @SledDriver I have an idea, and it's just an idea, you could make it to where there is a small engine with very low power with a lip to stop it from flying out of wherever it needs to be

    @CRJ900Pilot Well, the most a piston can do is a spike that moves to and fro, like the SR-71's inlet spikes. If you want something that smoothly changes its contours, you need parts that translate without affecting physics (so pistons won't do).

    haha lol. You don't have too, its just an idea @SledDriver

    Pistons can do that @SledDriver

    @CRJ900Pilot That would be cool, but to do that we need a part that translates linearly, like a piston.

    Ah, that makes sense. For a second I though the nose telescoped in/out to improve aerodynamics at certain speeds. Idk why, but thats what my brain jumped too. But that would be really cool if you could pull it off @SledDriver

    @Treadmill103 It handles beautifully, doesn't it : )

    Thanks, @CRJ900Pilot. Why would I mind? I like intelligent questions. The reason is so that there would be continuity between the nose and the fuselage/wing section.

    Cool! If you don't mind me asking, why did you use air breaks to build the nose?
