now I know why they never made one irl
how this all started
One day a few months ago I got an idea, what if I made a completely thrust vectoring aircraft, so that's what I set out to do. It's was a success in the fact that it worked, but it failed because its roll rate is about as fast as 1000lbs person running, really slow. Then I kinda forgot about it, then a few hours ago I remembered this little project and I finished it. It's not completely thrust vectoring, I did put yaw in but it was a NECESSITY! it adds a bit to the maneuverability, which helps the actual playability of the aircraft.

Normal flight controls
Yaw is inverted but it is necessary, use yaw in the same direction your doing your roll

Tell me what you think of my little idea, also if you can make it work better than I have and keeping to the completely thrust vectoring idea then go ahead! Just give me credit.

nice concept
@PapaKernels you deserved it
@Airlancashire because
@Embo I though you were going to say like putting lipstick on a pig, no one has done it, lol. But hey I might actually do that tho lol
@TheOGKAStheplanesguy hey hey hey, be nice, apologize to him or remove your comment
It’s like putting a catapult on a helicopter lol, no one has thought of it, it doesn’t really have much use, but nobodies thought of it @PapaKernels
@UltraLight your an asshole I think it's fine I like it
It's perfect if you use low physics
Why does this remind me of an mig 15
@Embo yea exactly why I said i know why they didn't do it irl, it's one of those thoughts you know is stupid but you still do it
Yes it’s your concept, no I haven’t seen this before, just saying it’s very impractical. @PapaKernels
@Embo look at comment below
@UltraLight it's just a concept, Its more to see if it works. I am very well aware of all the crappy problems with it
Sooo it’s a thrust vectoring aircraft but your forgot control panels? I can’t really see a use for this, as control panels just make things work better. Also a ah to improve this is just make the tip of the nozzle move, instead of the giant pod things
Sorry, but this kinda sucks
~ roll backwards
~ yaw backwards and a control surface
~ giant peice of engine moves... irl just the very tip of the nozzle does
~ you cannot take credit for this, not your idea so people dont have to give you credit if they build similar
~ waaaaay too much deflection
~ flies like a peice of, well, you know what
~ this is the type of plane you could easily add default lg on, why isnt there any
~ why is it so ugly
Block me if you want to. Sorry, the truth hurts sometimes.
@supaoranges I have them every once and awhile
@supaoranges thank you
@PapaKernels hmm, interesting concept. Very nice
@Griffon1 well I was going for the traditional thrust vectoring method, engines moving in the back.
@supaoranges yes precisely
I think I’m understanding the concept that you’re going for, a plane that uses nothing but thrust vectoring to fly instead of having flight surfaces?
word of advice, in the future it might be better to use VTOL nozzles attached to rotators. It results in a much lower profile.
i made something like this
@50CalChicken thanks for the spot!!
@PapaKernels no problem
