Cleaver Powered Aircraft

Upvote If You Enjoyed Thanks!

Thought I'd try my hand at something weird. This is an aircraft powered by a Cleaver Missile.

My only design on how to power the Cleaver without it leaving the aircraft was encasing it in a box. Please comment if there are other ways.

Also, I used frictionless hemispheres for landing gear because why not.

    @L0NGSW0RDPIL0T I didn't increase the burn time, although you could very easily with XML. If you think this is impressive, check out my other builds dude! I can tell there are a few you would like. And don't be shy about upvoting! Just 2 more until silver lol.

    Wow. It has great handling and stability. Just wondering how you managed to increase the cleaver burn time as it flew way more than 100 miles.

    I like the simplicity of the design! I used the same technique of encasing the cleaver in a box for my V-1, only I used a cylinder of fuselage blocks. I don't know of any other ways to close off a cleaver though. Good job!
