B797 BWB

Name: Boeing B797 BWB
Type: Replica / Concept
Attempt #: 1
Falkenwut Generation Build: 3

My attempt at making the conceptual Boeing B797 BWB (Blended Body Wing) - Also known as Boeing X-48. Pretty challenging build, but I'm happy on how it turned out. Hope you guys like it.

When using flaps, move them slowly. The centre of lift rapidly shifts, making the plane pitch susceptible to quick pitch and stall.

When rolling from angle to centre, the plane has a tendency to yaw a bit, causing an extra few degrees of turn before centring back.

The plane rolls when using the trim (my fault, should have caught it before uploading)

    @Tang0five Thanks for your comment :).

    As for controlling it, I noted the following stuff (on Windows Version)

    1 - It takes a lot of runway to take off

    2 - When moving the flaps, the centre of lift rapidly shifts, making the plane pitch susceptible to quick pitch and stall

    3 - When rolling from angle to centre, the plane has a tendancy to yaw a bit, causing an extra few degrees of turn before centring back.

    4 - The plane rolls when using the trim (my fault, should have caught it before uploading)

    Would like to see anyone suggesting solutions for future wing-plane developers...

    Beautifully made, really well done! Is there pitch issues with anyone else on iOS that you have heard of? I can’t seem to control pitch.

    @Gameboy21 indeed.. Wing designs can be pretty tricky in this game. Especially when it comes to flaps and vertical stabilisers. Will be looking forward to checking out your design! :)

    I actually saw something like this online and wanted to build something like it, but it got way too complicated too quickly and I might take another jab at it now.
