1,348 Cvpigunguy  3.6 years ago

1 flaps 8 Navlights. After WW2, the Ridge Aircraft Development team worked on an answer to developing jet technology. Powered by 4 push props, the aircraft showed promise, but ultimately failed to deliver a revolutionary redesign of the older propeller fighter formula. the XP-21 went on to be the basis of the P-22 Falcon, which served for many years.

    @PoyuToyu left em neutral, but you could probably play with pitch controls to make a pusher into an airbrake

    @Cvpigunguy Exactly. That's why I've never done one. I usually sticks with tail-draggers. But now, I'm interested in. Also did you pitch the props for push?

    @PoyuToyu they are fun, just gotta be far forward or high up to prevent striking the ground

    @PoyuToyu lol whoops, yeah I totally got that wrong. I appreciate it, and I should make a push prop model now haha. This is based on a biplane pushprop I made a loooong time ago

    Nice design. You have a misunderstanding with pull-push. Push props supposed to face backwards while pull are facing forward. Hope this does not offend you. Have a nice day :)
