Fast Eagle Pass Glider

285 mellowbaton  3.8 years ago

This is a continuation of my experiments with Simpleplanes physics. This time, I am trying to create the optimal unpowered glider for the Eagle Pass race without the use of XML editing, mods, physics abuse, or weaponry. This glider can complete the eagle pass race in about 2:07. It is able to travel quicker than conventional gliders due to its high weight and low drag. let me know if you have any feedback, thanks!
