Airplane with Spinning Wings

793 Aerozack  5.1 years ago

This airplane is unique because its giant propeller acts like a set of rotating wings. This propeller not only provides lift, but also provides thrust when the plane tilts forwards, backwards, or sideways. Therefore, this plane doesn't always have to move forward quickly to fly, which means it doesn't need a runway. Controls: Throttle changes the pitch of the big propeller blades. VTOL rotates the big propeller. Pitch tilts the nose up or down. Roll tilts the plane sideways. Yaw turns the plane. Trim opens and closes the doors. AG8 turns the lights on or off.

    My friend, those "Spinning wings" are called rotor blades..... Not propellers or Spinning wings. They're called rotor blades
