A little project that I did when I was bored. It has a top
speed close to the actual AD-1 and has the pivoting wing like it to! (Duh) VTOL Up to move the wings (No VTOL Down cause the real AD-1 only could pivot its right wing forward). Hit 1 for steering on the ground and that's it for the controls! To get the plane to fly with pivoted wings first set it on autopilot then rotate the wings. You can do this manually without autopilot but it will require a lot of constant adjustments. Happy flying! =3

It's aviation gems like these that we don't see enough of on SP.com.
This, along with NASA lifting bodies and other X-Planes.
Take my upvote.
@DeezDucks nah man thats a great thing. It teaches us and prepares us for life.
@Stampede And that's a bad thing?
@DeezDucks u watch domics dont you..................
@DeezDucks I will make a fast vertion with credit
@Elliotmidd07 yeah I thought so to lol
@DeezDucks oh I'm sorry it looks realy fast
@Elliotmidd07 the real AD-1 was this slow.
like it just needs to be a bit faster
I've seen that in real life
Realistic.
@DeezDucks YUSSS!!!!
@NumNumz please do :D
I love oblique wing planes! This makes me want to do a remake of my earliest oblique build
@Othawne yup
@DeezDucks It worked didn't it? I Think did decrease drag and improved full efficiency?
@Rugpeersdude it was a experiment to decrease drag and improve fuel efficiency.
@MrMecha @DragonAerotech @ronyseptian17 @Cedy117 @ForeverPie @Nickasaurus @Benkelmans @Rugpeersdude @WhenSupertogoPhysics thanks guys!
I wanted to build the AD-1 if I ever returned. Nice job man. Looks great
Looks really cool ; ) I did a simple version of this concept ages ago (you could check it) but I never knew there was a irl project. My concept thoughts behind what I did was to stabilize the plane in turns avoiding the passenger cabin (use imagination) to move as least as possible. But the wings were free, so they would auto balance. It's quite an interesting concept to play with : P
I wonder what the purpose of the rotating wing was.
COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!
Oops didn't mean to submit.
Nice m8 this was the first plane I made when the rotator part came out but I never released it
