Ummmmm

Please try it out, it’s so weird

    Yeah, not trying to be toxic or anything but it is flying cause of stabilizer lift.

    Oh, I don’t do that, I didn’t make the blocks either. @Tessemi

    Wow, that’s weird @MethaManAircraft

    This actually does generate lift through the tail/horizontal stabilizers.

    But they ain’t really ‘wings’

    But yes, I get what your saying @elmong

    I tried, you are correct, it’s the stabilisers

    @ACEPILOT107 it’s the stabilisers, remove them and you couldn’t fly

    Yup, I tried it with a stunt plane I made in the same way, this planes just one of a kind! @CoolPeach

    Honestly this isn’t even that complicated and shouldn’t even have sparked this much confusion. SP calculates lift for all wings regardless of their purpose. You have a very very light craft and have just happened to place your engines and horizontal stabilisers so that it can somewhat fly. No, there is no such thing as body lift on SP, just take the wings from the back off and the plane no longer flies.

    Lol, idk if that’s why it flys either. Who knows! @Tw1st3dPs7ch0

    But they shouldn’t give it the lift to ‘fly’. They only controls the plane, Simpleplanes just says they generate lift. @Giggitymerf

    Yes, it’s very strange. @MethaManAircraft @MethaManAircraft

    Interesting... It seems that you did cheat yourself into proving this phenomenon by making the plane very light, however, I have experienced it myself too by making a plane entirely out of fuselage blocks (including control surfaces) and testing it with no wings at all.
    IT WORKS!!!!

    The wings are an airfoil shape so it does generate lift

    Lol, your comment chain is like an airplane crash investigation, don’t tell any one that it’s made of that.

    It’s the only why I know how to make my stol planes actually stol. @jamesPLANESii

    SP physics, that’s just the elevators, not the wings @QingyuZhou
