Attach an ultralight on top of the diesel train (electric ones have wires above them) and watch out for the tunnels. 80km/h should be enough for an ultralight to take off.
When the take-off is a sure success, or cannot be aborted. For example, when taking off from a carrier, a fighter retracts gear as soon as possible, as it doesn't need it anymore. When taking off from the runway, a plane will retract landing gear when it reaches a stable flight mode. Until that moment, it's kept out to soften the impact in case of of stall, or to be ready in case of a problem that requires an emergency landing.
@ProKillaV12 cruise missile has many uses. In many cases, it's destructive power is greater than that of a ballistic missile. First cruise missile was a WW1 design, a biplane with a bomb and no pilot, but it was so inaccurate it was pretty much useless. Modern cruise missile can be launched from 350 miles away, hit a building in a specific place (one of the struts of Avala tower was hit by Tomahawk missile, and the tallest structure in southeast Europe fell over ). Anyway, your build - your call. I'm just telling you it's not a ballistic missile.
@ProKillaV12 to those who know something about heavy long-range ordinance, cruise missile is a weapon of the 21st century. More accurate than an ICBM, cheaper, can hit a moving target, can change a course in flight, and is useful for things other than large buildings. ICBM is a very expensive weapon, of a limited purpose. It gives much longer range and payload than a cruise missile, but it is useful only against stationary targets no smaller than 150x150m. Most people don't even know what ICBM stands for. ICBM is a largest class of ballistic missile. It's huge. Below it are theatre ballistic missile (SCUD and similar designs) and short-range ballistic missiles.
A minor correction: This is a cruise missile. Ballistic missile is powered and guided for just a fraction of the flight (first half a minute / one minute), and then follows suborbital ballistic trajectory to the target (hence the name. No power or guidance at this stage). You could have added wings that are folded by default, and extend on throttle+AG1 to improve maneuverability. Cruise missile is basically a suicide UAV. Extra maneuverability allows it to slip past air defence and change the target in the last second.
@TehNewDucky I understand that. I invested some effort to find positive and negative sides of every entry. What is written in the reviews is just a small part of it all. I didn't have the time to write a full article about every entry, due to large number of entries.
@jamesPLANESii it does have some details on landing gear. For some, 10 points for effort are an hour of work, for some, a month. It's actually a skill employed.
@Ftyt this thing is old. My more recent ships (much better ones) have inflatable rafts.
Very nice for the first one, @CWhat016

Congratulations, @HellFireKoder. You are probably the best possible person for the job.

@PyrusEnderhunter I could help with the sailing characteristics. I don't wanna tamper wit design. Make it, and I'll make it sail.

It looks great, but it's a bit sluggish in flight. It could use bigger control surfaces.

@Dynamicneedle no problem
At least a notification to followers. Like a plane post. Forum jetstream.
@Dynamicneedle with small fuselage blocks rotated and copy-pasted in a circle.
@grizzlitn thanks. Try it out. It's compatible with most attack aircraft or bombers.
Glad to see you again m8
@SuperFructer thanks
@ShiptyCo because it's not supposed to do that. It is a flaw, regardless if it's in the description or not.
@ShiptyCo just because you said there's a flaw, doesn't mean it's not a flaw.
@Testin123 link it. I'm too drunk to search.
@PlanesOfOld I'm glad to hear that. The very drunk version of me (in charge right now ) is already contemplating the next challenge.
@TehNewDucky submit it to the next one. It'll be very soon. Stay tuned.
@Testin123 only five successors. I had 60+, and I'm hoping for even more on the next one.
@Testin123 the one with five entries? That's the only one I could find since the "Windbreaker" I helped you with a few montha ago.
@Testin123 you don't have the popularity to score as many entries. Do it if you want, but I'll do it when I reach 100k.
@Sarpanitu @Blue0Bull I'm glad you enjoyed. There'll be more.
@Ctracerx2 no problem. Stay tuned for more.
@Baldovino DR.ONE is one of my favourites here. I enjoyed testing it. Good job.
@TehNewDucky I understand that. I invested some effort to find positive and negative sides of every entry. What is written in the reviews is just a small part of it all. I didn't have the time to write a full article about every entry, due to large number of entries.
@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation stay tuned for more. I loved running this challenge, and people enjoyed it.
@Testin123 when I reach 100k
